60th Transmission - Audio

[Locked to Donatello // Unhackable]

You have your supplies ready yet?

Suddenly, I sense we may have an arms race in the works. And I mistrust our opponent.

[Despite the lock, the post is viewable to Leo and Ratchet because he knows you worry.]

[End Lock]




Anyone in the mood for an expedition?

Smart, boy.

We already have volunteers.

Great. Who are they?

[Please don't say Jinx.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

One called "Torn". He was here before... went into the theatre with me and another. Reliable.

The other is called "Kevas". Never seen him cause problems around here... probably be fine.

[Zuko doesn't know Torn, but the fact that Ironhide trusts him speaks leagues. He's talked to Kevas a few times, and while he didn't seem the most savory of acquaintances, Ironhide was right. He didn't seem untrustworthy.]

That's all?

Figures. The passengers on this boat are too afraid of the captain.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Or, they know something of Carnival that we do not.

... In any case, there will be five of us. Should be all right.

[Zuko's stomach drops a little. One of the few things he knew about carnival was that Sokka had died there, and that didn't exactly seem promising. But that was thanks to Azula's doing. So as long as she wasn't there, they'd be fine.

Right?]

Yeah. That'll be fine.

[There's a pause, before Ironhide encrypts the transmission. The pride of youth - and elders, half the time - is a delicate thing.]

We will protect you. Promise you that.

[Zuko's just staring at the message, completely at a loss for a reply. He wants to say he doesn't need protection, he wants to say he can take care of himself, he wants to say thank you. He wants to say so many different things that he just winds up not saying anything at all.]
