A note dropped innocuously in one of the many places online that Ashlie kept tabs on:

Code: Select all: Things went south in a hurry. Everything end up alright for your people?

The signature and encoding looked a lot like what she had encountered with the technopath, Bitshift. Hidden in the coding of the message was a better, more secure route of contacting him.

Ashlie doesn't waste any time responding. Being readily available 24/7 probably doesn't appear too strange to someone like Bitshift.

Code: Select all: >> They managed to rescue the hostage without only minor injuries. >> Trinity managed to escape.

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2015 8:33 pm**

Code: Select all: She's good at that. She's tried to contact me a few times. I've ignored her. Finding more interesting things to do at the moment.

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2015 8:37 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Such as torching your equipment?

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2015 8:43 pm**

Code: Select all: What? No.

There was a pause that only Ashlie would have been able to detect.

Code: Select all: Shit, I had some nice gear there. I mean there was no way for me to get it back, but you just don't torch good equipment.

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2015 9:33 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Then someone must have thought you had something on those computers that was worth protecting.

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2015 11:14 pm**

Code: Select all: No one still around to think that. Rumor is you handed Ursus over to SHIELD and you have Blaze and Flare locked up. Trinity would *not* have stayed in the area. The Russians?

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2015 11:38 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Possibly. We were unable to track or identify them. >> I had assumed they were associates of Trinity. Who are they?

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2015 11:51 pm**

Code: Select all: Don't know. When the woman called in, she went by the name Yeltsin. When I tried to poke into her history, I ran into some serious resistance. Had to scrap a couple of systems that got compromised by them.

Posted: **Wed Nov 25, 2015 12:15 am**

Code: Select all: >> I've seen what you can do. That must be some serious security they have. >> You said she called in. Did they hire your group?

Posted: **Wed Nov 25, 2015 12:32 am**

Code: Select all: They did. Trinity made some sort of deal with them. Glacier in exchange for the access we'd need to break some mutants out of Russia's 'school' system. I handled the routing for all the communication. Trinity didn't want her tracing us. Yeltsin was in a massive hurry for us to collect Glacier.

Posted: **Wed Nov 25, 2015 12:45 am**

Code: Select all: >> Flare and Blaze mentioned something like that. >> Do you think Yeltsin is associated with them?

Posted: **Wed Nov 25, 2015 1:24 am**

Code: Select all: She seemed to have the access. She was able to give us enough information that Trinity was satisfied with making the deal. I don't know that she entirely trusted Yeltsin, but it was business for the greater good or at least that's what Trinity said. She says a lot of things.

Posted: **Wed Nov 25, 2015 2:51 am**

Code: Select all: >> Do you think you could determine her location the next time she tries to contact you?

Posted: **Wed Nov 25, 2015 3:44 am**

Code: Select all: Trinity or Yeltsin? I don't think Yeltsin will be trying to contact me again.

Posted: **Wed Nov 25, 2015 3:54 am**

Code: Select all: >> Either, but mostly Trinity.

Posted: **Thu Nov 26, 2015 8:59 pm**

There was a long pause.

Code: Select all: I don't know if I can do that to her. She may have been a lot of things, but she was/is my friend.

Posted: **Thu Nov 26, 2015 9:28 pm**

Code: Select all: >> If you change your mind, you know how to contact me. >> I won't be looking for you, I just can't extent the same courtesy to her after what she's done. >> I have an obligation to protect my students.

Posted: **Thu Nov 26, 2015 9:49 pm**

Code: Select all: I appreciate the consideration. What I can do is give you a list of the safe houses that Trinity knows about.

Posted: **Thu Nov 26, 2015 10:05 pm**

Code: Select all: >> That'd be very helpful.

Posted: **Thu Nov 26, 2015 11:26 pm**

A file transfer request started.

Code: Select all: I can't guarantee that she'll be at any of these, but it's the only leads I can give you.

Posted: **Fri Nov 27, 2015 12:22 am**

Code: Select all: >> At the very least it will narrow her options, which might cause her to make mistakes.

Posted: **Fri Nov 27, 2015 1:36 am**

Code: Select all: Good luck with that. She's usually very careful. She only rushed this job because Yeltsin was breathing down her neck.

Posted: **Fri Nov 27, 2015 1:56 am**

Code: Select all: >> If she reduces her activity I would consider that a success.

Posted: **Mon Nov 30, 2015 5:18 pm**

Code: Select all: Fair enough. Well, if you need something, you know how to get in touch. It was good to talk with you again, Ashlie.

Posted: **Mon Nov 30, 2015 5:21 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Take care. And try to stay on the straight and narrow. >> I don't want to have to try and bring you in.

Posted: **Mon Nov 30, 2015 5:27 pm**

Code: Select all: I'm not going to make any commitments to the straight or narrow, but I'm done with the Brotherhood, if that's what concerns you. Too many hassles with other mutants that my poor meatsuit can't cope with.

Posted: **Mon Nov 30, 2015 5:45 pm**

Code: Select all: >> I'll take it.

Xaviers!
