A Kawashita Conference Room...

Two executives meet after hours for a little clandestine chat:

41800464674_8596727b46_o.jpg "Beep-Beep!"

41800464784_a57a159793_o.jpg "No thanks, unit. I have my coffee."

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "Ivanovna, you were saying..."

41800464784_a57a159793_o.jpg "Yes, Shin. Sorry. I was saying that the delays have made it very difficult to correspond with Operations for the info you asked for."

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "As you've said before. But we both know that all these operators in the wind will almost certainly come back to bite us when we finally do return to Andromeda."

41800464784_a57a159793_o.jpg "But we also both know that it's one operator in particular who keeps you up at night."

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "It's been months since there have been any updates. Rumor is that he and his partner are in deep cover, looking everywhere for anyone who knows anything about what happened to Raven.

41800464784_a57a159793_o.jpg "You're worried he will find out we knew."

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "As you should be also! He's relentless. If he discovers our involvement, Raven will put us on the Kill List if he doesn't just decide to kill us himself. He's been known to do things like that, Ivanovna. I've seen the reports."

41800464784_a57a159793_o.jpg "But we weren't really involved, Shin. There's no remaining tether connecting us to the bombing and you have to admit that it went exactly as we were told it would."

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "How sure are you about that? I have come too far to bet the whole farm on the competence of people I don't control."

41800464784_a57a159793_o.jpg "That's why we have the failsafe. Don't worry, we will be able to move against Koro long before he can move against us."

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "In the meantime, there's only really one cure for the itch between my shoulderblades. I honestly don't know how you manage, Ivanovna. Unit!"

41800464674_8596727b46_o.jpg "Beeeeeep!"

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "Sake. The good stuff."

41800464784_a57a159793_o.jpg "You worry too much, Shinzanami."

27652794877_58950d388d_o.jpg "And you don't worry enough."

Notes:

-Koro's previous storyline concluded ambiguously with:

-I've got big plans for everybody's favorite cyborg assassin while AG is on hiatus. Hoping to be able to conclude a rather lengthy prologue storyline (with some surprise guest stars and collabs) before AG2 actually launches. Not that anyone is holding their breath for that.

Like how you've used the slotted rail pieces to give the wall some texture. works really well, as does the corresponding sliding door pieces for windows... Well written too, I enjoyed it. Well done.

This is a beautiful and clean vignette.  I was puzzled on how you did the wall textures, but @LucByard figured it out for me.  I like the display screens and the little robot helper.  I thought maybe Koro had uploaded himself into the little robot and was about to do some assassinating, but I guess I was wrong.
