Think hello!

Comment and I'll get back to you -- voicemail, videomail, textmail, telepathic messages, they're all good.

Email: eeb1@pobox.com
AIM: booksbeth

I check email more often than I log into AIM, so that's usually the best way to reach me, but feel free to say hello if you see me on AIM, and I can chat there at length if we meet up by prearrangement or happy coincidence.

[There might be some volume control issues, this is the first time he's done this since being reborn]

OH! That kind of tingles... okay- ah, my friend Claire and I we broke into an AGI facility. I'm not entirely sure why, she didn't go into details. But there were Voids and she got caught I feel really bad about that.

But she gave me the things she stole and told me to flee. Might be about their slave trade? Anyway, I'm just not sure what to do with them or who to give them to.

[Loki is a god whose domains include chaos. Volume control issues are always a possibility. :) ]

We should read through them and probably make a copy or two, then decide what to do. Are you someplace safe now?

[There's the distinct sensation of spill over from his mind towards hers, then pulling and the flash of a mental picture, a dark room, red hair on a pillow.]

Yes.

Copies. Yes.

And blackmail. Murder if they try to lose Claire in their system.

If you're safe then we've time to plan. I doubt they'll lose Claire in the system immediately.

First step, apart from making backups, is to figure out what cards are in our hands. We should read the stuff you've got, and what do you know of Claire's powers and other abilities?

She heals. That is all I know. Perhaps there is more. I would think they have Voids on her to cancel out any threat she might pose?

[A pause to consider]

If what we have is of no or little value?

While it's a good thing if we can get her out, regeneration creates some very nasty possibilities for AGI.

If what we have is of little value, then we look for more cards, consider bluffing, and see if there's any way we can make the odds favor us with a more direct approach. They do have telepathy barriers over the jail; we might actually have a better chance if she were in AGI custody.

But unless there's an immediate opportunity, better to collect facts before action. The interest rate on borrowed trouble is fearsome.

Her uncle is attempting bail and I've offered him direct aid in any other ventures should he choose to pursue them.

If we are unable to do this bloodlessly, I have a few spheres in motion that could be brought down for use. Unfortunately, they're rather ... chaotic.

With luck there will be something of use in these papers or a complete lack of evidence to support the charges.

Her uncle is rather formidable in his own right when he's willing to be.

[A pause.]

If you are considering tampering with whatever evidence exists, that is time-dependent.

How formidable?

[The impression of a scoff]

There is no evidence, truly. She did not break in, she used a key card, as an employee. The video all strangely shorted out before hand, too. For all they knew, she left her purse and simply had to retrieve it that night.

I should verify: her uncle is Peter Petrelli?

Mmmmm. Is there any way we could arrange a logical reason why the video happened not to be working, perhaps another theft?

Yes.

I could go back and steal something else, make it appear to have happened earlier and only noticed now. Or corrupt the wiring to mimic Darkness leakage. That's what they blamed the concert fiasco on, after all.

He mimics powers. More than one person's worth at a time. Skill is not conferred. Power limit unknown, but Magneto's didn't give him any trouble. Length of time he holds them also unknown, but at least weeks.

All of that as of last time I checked: I haven't been poking around his mind, both because I'm trying not to do that sort of thing lightly here and because it's dangerous without necessity.

Those are the sorts of ideas I was suggesting, and if I can help telepathically I'm willing to. Just -- if they realize you're creating this appearance it confirms their suspicions.

That... is interesting to know. In a potentially bad way.

And if it confirms their suspicions then drastic action will be taken. But my workings are subtle and already the have no true evidence, putting them at quite a disadvantage.

Yes. [Apologetic tone:] I know this is belaboring the obvious, but since I told you I feel obliged to say: don't spread the news around.

Does Claire know they don't have evidence and she could pretend innocence?

Of course not. It's now my advantage, too.

I think not. You said there was warding preventing telepathic communication, yes? Perhaps an in person visit from me.

I think tell her in person without admitting anything. Assuming they'll let you in to see her. Or have her uncle tell her if he can do so subtly. Which ... I'm dubious about. I didn't see Peter at his best, but he's probably not at his best now with Claire, either.

Then I shall not rely on him to relay the message.

Oh, I have no doubt he would relay such a message; I simply fear he might do so in a manner which makes it clear he knows that the evidence was removed to shield the guilty.

Ah. I thought you meant mental instability of some sort.

Well. My skills are up to the task, I do think.
