The first voice that boisterously sails from the terminal's speakers is clearly recognizable to those who know her as Sayaka Miki, formerly erstwhile agitator back in.. what seems to be totally unaltered spirits.

"Yo, my lovely towerlies! I hate to interrupt our monthly cycles of being really really sad for a while after getting stupid things done to us, but I wanted to point out something that I thought was very fascinating, actually."

The second voice (that of Jin Shirato) cuts in quickly, unable to resist the comment.

"I don't. Everyone's whining over stupid shit anyway."

Sayaka plods onwards, despite the interjection.

"And for any of those upper - hm, lower, actually - echelons listening in, hey, don't be shy, I'm okay with you hearing this, too. Turn up the volume, put it on a couple extra screens for added effect. Anyway. Just listen to me a for a second. You know what all this information pumping means? All these horrible things you were forced to give away? It's not just random torture, no way, I know what that looks like. They're scared. Of us. Of what we might be doing."

"Make that what we are doing. It's not like they've made habit to be preventative before, after all-- how many blows to their sanctuary do you think is too many?"

"Or maybe just one special guy in particular is the one who's afraid. After all, it was his turn to man the wheel this time. And why not? Buddy, you've got every reason to be nervous. You're the predictable one, and you've already gotten in hot water before. "

"Maybe he's just afraid of turning out like Dax."

"-Exactly. It's just going to be a matter of time until you're complicit in some great final blunder. And I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for it."

The sounds cuts.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE, OR JUST A HEAP OF SPOONFED OPTIMISM TO GET EVERYONE TO STOP MOPING?

Oh, sure. I just recorded myself all fired up so that I could get some people to stop sniffling faster. Magical girls are all about spreading hope and destroying despair, after all.

_{[Sayaka Miki not only believes it, it's the main fire in her heart, the scent of blood on the water that sets her in motion. And that's the truth.]}

CUTE.
NOT THAT I THINK YOU'RE WRONG.
ABOUT JASON, NOT THE OTHER SHIT.
TRYING TO LIGHT A FIRE UNDER THE ASSES IN THIS PLACE IS LIKE TRYING TO PULL YOUR TASTE FROND OFF A FROZEN POLE.

Well, I'm not a magical girl, and that's dumb.

You really think he was ONLY trying to fuck with us this time? I thought you'd think more than that!

YES, CLEARLY JASON IS THE MASTERMIND HERE PULLING THE STRINGS LIKE A BAD MOVIE VILLAIN.
TWIRLING HIS FACIAL FUR PLOT AND CACKLING EVILLY WITH A GLASS OF WINE IN HIS HAND.
THE OTHER PETTING A WHITE PURRBEAST.
DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M THAT MUCH OF AN IDIOT????????

ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT NOBODY AROUND HERE CARES ENOUGH TO GET THE JUMP ON HIM BEFORE HE GETS THE JUMP ON US.

[Well, he wants to say more but. Network.]

Yeah, total James Bond material there.
All I'm saying is, it seems a bit paranoid to me.
Though I guess it's possible you know something I don't.

That's because everyone's always pissing their pants over the big kids in charge.

THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT I HAVE A PANACHE THE SIZE OF TROLL METROPOLIS.
I DON'T THINK THE IDEA IS WITHOUT FOUNDING.
"SQUASH THE REBELLION BEFORE IT STARTS" IS A PRETTY COMMON TACTIC.

Oh please; the rebellion's been going on way before Dax even kicked it. Just because we're not shouting from the barricades doesn't mean it's all sunshine and rainbows.
He's already made everyone pissed off, now he has to try and sneak around to cover his own ass.
He's probably starting to realize he can't do anything to turn off the spite.

[Totally not here but.]

[Did someone say James Bond?]

[Someone said James Bond. 8D]
