I found a [...] piece of correspondence inside the library's copy of Dead Until Dark. If you believe this to be yours, please DM me with a family-friendly general overview to confirm and I'll return both the letter and its supplemental materials to you. No questions as

NIKO.

Prior to your (well-deserved) promotion, where did you seek time alone?

We had one karaoke night.

Because if you wanted your chip deactivated 20 years ago, you had to visit someone with no relevant qualifications and a zeal for improvisation; the lingering side effects are why Bishop pulled me from the field. This is no longer a secret but I never told her regardless, and now here we are.

Are
Are the side effects serious?
Were you [……] afraid she wouldn’t understand? It sounds understandable. If I’d known about that twenty years ago I would also probably be excited about karaoke nights.

They aren't fatal. [...] Which is a line I need to learn to lead with. They are, however, enough to retire me from fieldwork so I was worried word would get back to Bishop.

Sloane/Dom

[foundlostfound]

Probably. Even I panicked.
I can't pretend I'm not glad you didn't retire before you did.

I could try to talk to her.

[...] It does feel nice to be surrounded by familiar faces, and I'm glad you made it through training. Not that I ever doubted your abilities.

She bites, I wouldn't recommend it yet.

Sloane/Dom

[foundlostfound]

Don't doubt those. I got the second highest individual drone kill count yesterday.

And I'm not scared of bites. But I can give her space.
Do you need anything.

Sloane/Dom

[loculus]

I hope you're going for highest next flight.

No, thank you.

Sloane/Dom

[foundlostfound]

I'll get it.
Okay. Well if you do.
