R: we know lars sent scra’s phone the message about the eyes being blind. Scra said it’d come from the same number we’d last called in reamer’s phone. The phone showed the call history. If i remember, it was even under L.A. in reamer’s phone, how more obvious can you be. But it proves that lars and reamer are...working together. Or in contact, at least

TC 171-6 sketch

R: Of all the things lars showed me, all that two-timing, double-crossing shit, it’s what he didn’t show me that concerns me even more.

. Aren’t you tired of these canyons? I personally don’t wanna go another day with rocks in my boots and dust in my eyes.

R: not like we were given a choice in venue when they relocated us vulture scum.

D: how would you like to be reintegrated into society?

R: and how do you reckon we do that, of divine being?

D: (smiles) i can get you in.

TC 171-4 sketch

R: oh, i didn’t say we weren’t gonna kill ya. But i reckon there’s some useful stuff we can get out of ya first. This is your chance to give it willingly.

D: i can do you one better

“too pure to drown” or some shit. I can see you thinking that in that tiny head of yours, i can see those gears grinding together under all the crazy. You’re just bidin your time, ain’t ya? Waitin’ for a chance to escape. Im gonna tell ya right now, there won’t be one. We run this entire canyon now thanks to your little slip up. We’ll be hitting the town soon as well, and take that over. You’ve got nowhere to run to.

D: so what, you’re just gonna keep me a prisoner unt...

TC 171-2 sketch

R: the amount of struggling was pretty tiresome when he was so clearly outnumbered.

D: i wasn’t struggling, i was stretching.

R: and are you done “stretching”?

D: just kill me and get it over with already.

R: aw come on, you’re too into yourself to pretend to give up like that. You probably think you surviving when your buddies all drowned was some sort of divine intervention

? I can’t – why have you shown me all this?

L: because i knew you’d appreciate some of your questions being answered. And because i know about you. And farrah.everything. So im confident you won tell anyone what you’ve seen here.

R: then why show me at all? What do you want in return?

L: i want you to do something about it.

TC 170-10 sketch

L: see for yourself (plays clip of what happened)

R: Scra...let him go...and didn’t tell me? All this time i thought – i’ve been struggling to understand why –he had so many chances, but he just kept lying?! Did he tell ky? is that why ky’s been so chill about it?

TC 170-9 sketch

R: Whats that? Does that say..brakindale? (points at tablet hooked up to wires. Has report logs from the major saying no trace of brakindale.}

L: a little project. A few teachers have been sent on a search mission for him.

R: for his body, you mean. You have a camera in their room, you know what went down. I suspect it was you who told us you’d sorted out the security cameras so no one would know.  Del’s dead.

L: oh, no. Del is very much alive.

I always wonder why she does them here instead of her office in the City, but i guess it’s more discreet at a school in the canyons.

R: what kind of visitors?

L: i suspect you have an idea.

R: is that live? What building is that?

L: your crow friends sanctuary. It was targeted by the government a few hours ago. No one’s tried to put it out. No causalities, though. Of course the news isn’t reporting on it. Or any of the other things going on

R: what, the gov...

TC 170-7 sketch

R: i knew there was a reason we always felt like we were being watched. It’s those creepy fucking plants, isn’t it. The ones you give your “friends”. You’ve been straight up spying on everyone.

L: i prefer “monitoring”. I can access the security cameras, too.

R: that’s really fucked up. (thinks i’ll report him later, im not gonna pas sup a chance to learn what he knows - ) Is that...the director’s office?

L: she has a lot of interesting visitors at night....

TC 170-6 sketch

Is he a first year? I’ve never seen him before –

L: he’s here on a student exchange from the Port Academy. He doesn’t get out much. Ignore him, he’s just hungry.

R: (he looks like -) ...did you feed del, too?

L: he liked my cooking. Here’s my room.

TC 170-5 sketch

L: ree vermillioss.

R: lars amplo. I want access to that website with outside news you showed me.

L: i can get you something even better. Come in.

R: things have...changed a bit since i was last here.

L: i prefer my own space.

R: is that...your new roommate?

TC 170-4 sketch

? I don’t even know if ky and scra are ok.  I don’t even have a way to know what’s going on out there thanks to the transmission blocks - ...but i know someone who will know.

TC 170-3 sketch

. i regret not going with you, that night. I regret not asking where you were going. I regret that by then, you didn’t even consider telling me.

i don’t even know if youre still alive. In my dreams, you are. In my waking nightmares, you’re not.

Why do i keep losing the people i care about?

TC 170-2 sketch

R: this is crazy, it’s been hours. With the other two gone I feel so...stranded here. I really don’t have anyone, huh. not since you disappeared.

TC 170-1 sketch

R: ky what the flock bro, message back this is super important. i need to know if you’ve been lying to everyone this whole time.

TC 169-12 sketch

T: how could you? His father? You said we’d be left out of it.

R: it was necessary. He’ll understand soon. This was all necessary.

TC 169-11 sketch

And you still looked me in the eyes and pretended to be friends the entire time.

B: will you help me, tiraa?

T: I – (thinks to what cyras said) ...I’ll try...but my mother’s not letting me out of her sight until the wedding, so i don’t know if i can get away much after this...maybe it’s best to just leave it to the recon force? I’m sure they’ll be doing something –

TC 169-10 sketch

They didn’t once mention anything about trying to rescue him. Her chief commissioner, a martyr. He would hate it.

R: this is all a big melodramatic, don’t you think –

B: are yo going to help me get him back or not? Since i suspect this was all your fault. I never thought you’d stoop this low to get what you want

TC 169-9 sketch

R: Brek what –

B: shut up. Shut the door.

B: i was listening in on their meeting. They suspect the corvids, naturally. They’re using my father as the reason to start the war properly.

TC 169-8 sketch

D: you have two days to find out what The Croaking is and where it is, or you’ll never see your sister again.

K: what –

D: this could be war. If The Croaking is a means of ending it swiftly, then i want it in my arsenal. Get it for me. 2 days.

TC 169-7 sketch

. I wonder if he knows that his sister is just down the hall)

D: i thought i told you not to return here.

K: your son brought me, i didn’t have a choice.

D: things are escalating. Your time is running out. Have you made any progress?

K: i’ve...tried a few things. I have an idea for another, but –

TC 169-6 sketch

. The laymen will eat it up, and will be none the wiser to the war with the corvids i am sure has begun.

T: even...sooner...

R gets text, grabs t

R: excuse us.

T: (i may have been right not to trust him.

TC 169-5 sketch

R: our friend’s father has been taken, mother. We’re here to hear what efforts are being expended to retrieve him.

D: i suppose i’ll tell you since it involves you – your bonding ceremony will be brought forward even sooner, it’s the wedding of the decade and will be a good distraction for the masses as we orchestrate a recovery operation. We have instructed the press to blacklist anything to do with the commissioner and our search efforts, and they will instead be focussing o...

, late at night. That’s the one we went to that dove building to deliver a message from your mom that one time, right?

R: yes. It seems he’s just weaselling his way further and further in.

D: Children? What are you doing here?

TC 169-3 sketch

D: Thank you for arriving so quickly, return to your posts and we will continue forward with the plan.

R: now there’s a face i’d prefer not to see.

T: what’s that Altimeter creep  doing in a meeting like this?

K: I’ve seen that Dove coming out of your mother’s office at the roost

TC 169-2 sketch

Why do you smell like smoke?

T: because i - ...flew through a bonfire on the way here.

K: (she’s lying? Reamer knows it, too)

T: where’s brek? I thought he’d want to be here to hear the mission details.

R: He called to tell me to meet here, but i haven’t seen him yet –
