Operation 15 | [Anon Text/Audio]
[Anon Text - Morning]
[Gale has been in an odd mood, and he just sort of mindlessly poses an anonymous message to the network.]
If you were to be in a situation in which, by all rights, you should be dead but are kept alive by unnatural means...
can you even be considered "alive" anymore?
would you even still have your soul at that stage?
[Text - Evening]
[Once he's back in the comfort of his own apartment and more awake much later in the day, he realizes the weird text he'd made that morning. So now he'd send out a different text, this time not anonymous... and all it is is a single picture: ]
[He is so proud of himself for that one.]
[Private Audio - Karla]
[Even though he had a stupid grin plastered on his face for that awful aircraft humor, he'd realized that he should probably actually get ahold of Karla... despite the fact that he hated thinking about what his other half did. Two months was a long time to sit on something.
But, it needed to be done. And if anyone should know about it, it should probably be the only law enforcement that he felt confident enough to bring it up to.]
Hey, it's Gale. You have any openings in your schedule? There's somethin' I'd like to talk about.
I could even treat you to dinner or somethin', if you'd want.

I see.
Healing magic became a lost art where I come from.
Machines are our best bet for survival now for lethal wounds.
but I guess magic can be seen as 'natural' in some way in comparison.

[The Lightning Flight may work with machinery, but Qubine isn't sure exactly what all they've done with it.]
[Anon text]
a man wondered if he could keep me from dying with cybernetics.
However he did it, he succeeded. the machinery feels as natural as my original organic body.
[It was odd to think about that even he barely understands how his own body works, or how it was achieved. He just knows how to maintain it and keep it working.]
[Video]
That is interesting. I never would have guessed that machinery could be used in that way...
...But given that you were fatally wounded, I assume you weren't able to protest against it? Would you have preferred to die?
[Anon text]
but the next thing I knew, I was awake in a tank. and alive.
[He pauses, letting that second question sink in a little.]
honestly, I don't know. on one hand, yes, I'd rather be dead.
but on the other, there's still something I could do at home if I play my cards right.
