USER [REDACTED]: Can you hear me?
(30 seconds of silence)
USER [REDACTED]: I know you’re there. Are you still able to speak?
UNKNOWN USER: … no.
USER [REDACTED]: I see you still have your sense of humor, doctor.
UNKNOWN USER: What do you want, [REDACTED]? Aren’t you busy?
USER [REDACTED]: Not too busy to speak with an old friend. I heard about an attack on my men in the New Old West. Would you know anything about that?
UNKNOWN USER: I don’t see what this has to do with me.
USER [REDACTED]: My dear Kolya… if you’re innocent, then I’ll have no choice but to hunt down anyone in that forest and wipe them out.
UNKNOWN USER: … it was me. Was that what you wanted to hear?
USER [REDACTED]: Heh. You managed to put yourself back together after last time. Is she helping you? Building your body back up?
UNKNOWN USER: What did you reach out to me for? If you can reach me, why haven’t you turned me in to your masters?
USER [REDACTED]: Kolya, you know I’m the only master here.
UNKNOWN USER: Keep telling yourself that. The others won’t see it that way.
USER [REDACTED]: … I’m arranging for a scapegoat. Some other morph is gonna be blamed and your forest friends are safe. Aren’t I nice?
UNKNOWN USER: What do you want? You don’t do things for free.
USER [REDACTED]: Come back and work for us again. I can protect you.
UNKNOWN USER: Even if I wanted to rejoin the circus, you couldn’t pull that off.
USER [REDACTED]: Maybe, maybe not. I’ll keep you safe this time. Just think about my offer.
UNKNOWN USER: How are you tracking me?
USER [REDACTED]: Have a good night, Kolya.
