-Anna- Interesting...
-Soren- It's certain that it was more than just the attack. Genos said she was calling out attacks like you would. I don't remember if Genos said she said "Battlechip" or not.
-Anna- From what Genos said, it seems almost like White was talking to someone. Could that mean anything?

@Mammalia

No battlechip. But it could mean something.

-Soren- No doubt about it.
-Anna- Perhaps if we could listen to anything she might say to herself in private, some light might be shed.
-Soren- That's something I can do--but even if we only listen to her, it's a big invasion of privacy. I'll do it if you want it, though.

@Mammalia

How can you?

-Soren- I've still got a lock on her location. I think you've seen me conjure a visual of a location--I can do the same for sound, as long as I can access the location. If I can reach it with my magic, I can access it, and then I can use a simple spell to give us a live audio feed. I could open it right this moment if you wanted.

@Mammalia

I think that those mechanical sounds were her location changing.

-Soren- *blinks and snaps his fingers, conjuring up the visual*

...Is it supposed to be pitch black?

@Host

-Soren- That would mean the location is filled in... Dang it. The room must have moved or something. Well, there goes that.
-Anna- What if Tempo's dad traced the ghost data again and found that it was somewhere else? Maybe you could use that location!
-Soren- That's only if the data was traced to White. For all we know, it could have stayed there.
-Anna- Hmm... Tempo, is it any trouble for your dad to trace the data again? It might take some time, but if it comes up with a different location, we might be on to something.

@Mammalia

The ghost data is tracking White; I can tell you that much.

-Anna- Then can you do it again?
-Soren- If I can get it again, I'll put a Lord or two on it to make sure it follows her better than I did last. They're all surprisingly cooperative for a bunch of manifestations of chaos.

@Mammalia

I'm not going to confront White again until I figure this out.

@Host

-Soren- You don't need to. If you can get her location again, just give me the direction and rough distance. Then I can flip on a visual, move the lock in the direction you pointed, and if she hasn't moved far from the location you got and gave, I can switch to audio and we can listen while we figure things out.

@Mammalia

I don't need to hear what she has to say. White herself isn't the piece of this puzzle that we're missing, nor does she hold it.

-Soren- What puzzle is it that we're solving?

@Mammalia

What happened to Rhythm. That's all I care about.

@Host

-Soren- That was why I wanted to listen in on White again; she might be talking to someone else that doesn't seem to be there--and it could be Rhythm.
-Anna- There's still other ways to go down. What they are, though, I can't quite remember...

@Mammalia

We wouldn't have detected Rhythm and White at the same location if they were speaking.

@Host

-Soren- Not quite in that way. Telepathy, perhaps. But if you don't think it'll come up with anything, we can discard it for now and get back to it if we need it.

@Mammalia

No, I have another idea. Let's go back to White's house before she secures it.

-Soren- We have the advantage of speed. *snaps his fingers and they appear inside the house*
