She tries to move off of the bed, and falls to the ground.
"I...can't....you...attacked..the emperor....stay away...from me...." She growls, as she attempts to bite his legs. At this rate, he has totally reformed, and the emperor is starting to pick the mansion up, along with the mountain it is built into.

she can feel him pick her up and hug her before they appear in a seperate location, leaving the mansion vacant as the emporer has difficulty sensing delta. "i know you may not like it but it was justified. now tell me why he attacked you" the man says evenly and she can tell that her condition saddens him as he holds her, allowing her comfort even as she felt the emperor's influence weakening, leaving just her and the man

He roars, and puts the mansion down. He then enters though the door, and takes Delta's glave and armor from the case, bending the glave back to normal.

"He...said the letter I wrote...disrespected him, his late wife and his late child....and he then stated...that my powers were compromising my usefulness...and that he would remove them...then...he jabbed something into my eyes...." She says, still angry. "But you only made things worse...he'll kill me....and you..." She says.

he finds them to not be there, having been moved ahead of time along with what looks like everything in the mansion before there's a small flash as the entire mountain explodes with the same force as several tactical nuclear missiles all concentrated in one blast, most likely rendering the continent uninhabitable for quite some time to come.

---

"right now he so pissed he's probably going to destroy the planet we were on... did you write those things?" he replies evenly although the sadness at her condition never leaves his voice while he seems to be more worried about her than himself. he helps her lay down onto a rather comfortable bed before returning to cleaning her eyes, seeming to be able to do it with less pain than before as he has more advanced technology at his disposal

He goes flying back, and lands, charred.
"god fucking damn it!" He roars. His rage reaching critical levels...

---

She attempts to stop the cleaning.
"Stop, you're doing something senseless. I am as good as dead...and no, I didn't....I asked for a few more weeks, as so I could then better protect the V.I.P.....what ever letter he got, it wasn't mine." She says. Her voice is cold and venom filled.

"you're not going to die. i took you somewhere he can't find you... and i guess i'll have to teach you how to regenerate your eyes" the man says evenly although she could tell he was sad about her condition, continuing to clean despite her protests. after he's done he asks "who handles the mail when you send something to your emperor?" as he makes her a sandwhich and a glass of water, placing the sandwhich in her hands to alert her to it's exsistence before saying "there's water on the nightstand" as he takes one of her hands and has her touch the nightstand and glass of water, letting her get a feel for where everything is

"A lot of...no, I am not telling you. You'll just attack them." She growls, throwing the sandwhich off to the side of the bed. She refuses the water, and simply remains there, arms crossed.

the man reflexively catches it with his mind before going over and grabbing it from the air, saying "no. attacking them wouldn't help in this case. the emperor attacked you due to someone editing your letter which means that an investigation and targeted strike is the better option" evenly as if still attempting to teach her something, his voice a bit distant as if contemplating something

"So you want to find who altered my letter? A noble effort, but I doubt you would find the person..." She says.

"it's not that difficult, i just have to find the people that handled your letter and extract the information from them... and before you try to say something like "you'll never succeed, the network is too extensive" you are my pupil and my friend. not only has the tampering caused you semi-permanent damage, it has damaged your reputation with your commander, which has upset you, and frankly it was just a dick move" he replies evenly, his voice showing proper reasoning as to his logic however, his concern for her never leaves his voice. he hands her the sandwhich again as he sits on the side of her bed, letting her respond

She sighs, and smiles.
"Thanks." She says. "Well, there are about....either 20, or 300 who most likely teleported the letter around. You can find who, if you file a complaint, and ask to see whoever transported the letter." She says.

"i could also show up as an internal investigations officer and have them give me all the information so we can go over it together" he replies evenly, his hand going to her shoulder before he asks "will you be ok if i leave you for a few hours?"

She puts her hand on top of his.
"....Can you find Solaire? Tell him what happened? I want him to know I am ok...." She says.

"i'll try" he says evenly before having her close her eyelids and putting paper tags over them, saying "if you meditate and focus on reforming at least one of your eyes then these will help, but remember not to over exert yourself". the man leaves her, knowing that if she follows his instructions she should have at least one eye reformed by the time he gets back.

at the postal center of the clone empire a man wearing a suit, partial face mask covering his mouth and nose, and blade at his hip, the handle made out of a single piece of bone. the man's eyes are a deep crimson while his hair is long, silver, and straight. the man walks over to the desk, flashing credentials marking hims as an internal investigator as he asks in a kind voice "hello, i'm here to investigate mail tampering. i'd like to go over all incoming mail to the emporer from his generals and the records of who's hands they passed through" the man's manner is kind and from what little they can see of his face he's quite articulate in his eyes

The receptionist, a rather thin and curveless girl with long blond hair, and deep brown eyes taps on a holoscreen a few times.
"Ahh, I see. So....there is about...3 people who touched that letter. Kim Darin, James Sven, and Marco Troph." She says, holding out a portfolio. "This should give you info on their routes they did today." She says, smiling.

"thank you mrs.?...." he replies kindly, checking the portfolio briefly to see if it had been tampered with as he awaits her name

"My name is Jenny." She says.
It shows the general info on the three people. Rank, years of service, and what, and when they held the letter. The lady had delivered it to the office you had seen before. Marco, he delivered it to the advanced post office. Mr. Sven took it to the emperor himself.

"thanks, i'll be sure to take care of this as soon as possible so i can get out of your hair" he says, a smile evident in his voice and what little of his face she could see. the man waves good bye as he leaves, reading the files thoroughly as he looks for descrepincies like an abnormally long time taken to do the jobs set to them, any disappearance that had no alibi, and any outstanding maliciousness towards their higher ups

The woman delivered the letter just after Delta had handed it to her, so she is most likely clean. The other two men took a odd amount of time to do so however. Sven looks like the man the man had angered however, although he is slightly shorter.

the man appears in front of sven in a gout of black flame, flashing credentials marking him as an internal investigator as he says in an even tone, suggesting he'd said this many times "hello sven. i'm afraid you're going to have to come with me"

Sven is currently drinking a large glass of lemonaid.
".....Oh fuck......." He says, starting to choke on some lemonaid. He then puts his hands up.
"It wasn't me..." He says. Oddly, he isn't lying.
