[He knew Maketh was bothered by the attack, but that she saw a psychologist over it sure is something.]
A fella by the name of Sato put out a call on the network, trying to get folks to rise up against us. The 'beleaguered masses' and what have you. Thing was that almost no one was biting. Most of the people around here know we're the type of group that tries to do good, even if we don't have a lot of real authority. I guess he was bored enough he took it upon himself to stage that attack anyway, because sure as sunrise, he showed up at the headquarters the next morning, ready to fight.
[Guess that answers Lance's uncertainty. Nick continues.]
The man has some kind of invisible force he's able to control that can do a hell of a lot of damage. On top of that, he's about as immortal as you can get, coming back to life from fatal wounds as right as rain.
[Him too, Lance. Magic isn't exactly a thing where he comes from.]
I don't know exactly what it is, but it's something that has to be handled on its own, like some kind of separate entity. Needless to say, he's a dangerous character.
We found a way, but I'm not at liberty to discuss the details.
[Because that would mean outing Rey as capable of dealing with such a menace, and given she's mostly undercover when it comes to keeping an eye on Sato, Nick would rather not put her in any kind of danger, especially given he doesn't really know this Lance guy.]
[Although he knows Maketh's 'solution' he's also aware that the others didn't agree with it, so he presumes Nick is talking about something else and he can definitely understand wanting to keep some advantages to oneself.]
So you were able to stop him from attacking the Guard post, correct? Did he say anything to you about being stopped, or why he did it to begin with?
Not to me. I was tied up after he went down. Had a few things to take care of and left the actual handling of him to Henry and Maketh.
[Which is usually best, considering he doesn't always approve of Maketh's methods.]
What I got from the reports is that he's just the kind of man who wants to watch the world burn. Given the way he was trying to start trouble with us for no damn reason, I don't doubt it.
[Although he doesn't like to just write people off there are definitely some individuals beyond help, and despite that he doesn't know enough about Sato just yet to include him among them he's getting the impression he's probably one of them.]

[He's still getting used to the magic idea.]

Date: 2017-05-11 02:23 am (UTC)That's good to know. Were you able to find some way to counteract it?
[Because how unchallenged Sato thinks he is will factor into any predictions about his behavior that Lance can make.]

[Because that'd be a lot easier to work with.]

Thank you for answering my questions.

Date: 2017-05-25 05:34 am (UTC)Anytime. There anything else I can help you with?

Date: 2017-05-25 05:41 am (UTC)[Just in case.]
