Perhaps the ones in charge! Or someone here longer than we have been...

[Someone who could help them discover the sender of this message? If not Fiona, then...]

Elza received the same message I believe. [He hasn't seen it himself, but he has talked to his vice-captain. And Elsa seems to agree that Fiona can't have sent it.]

[sewayaku]

Sir Elza did? This can't be a coincidence.

[ hearing that actually helps convince him that it's not Fiona. As far as he knows, Elza and Fiona have never even met each other - she'd have no reason to message him, and, in fact, wouldn't even recognize his face. ]

There's something strange going on here. That wasn't Fiona. It was someone who only knew she was connected to us...

[sisconning]

I don't think so either. We are the only ones who would know her, or know of her.

[Elza's not really well acquainted after all, outside Nesso's numerous (so numerous) stories about his sister.]

There are many here who would. When I first arrived, I asked many people if they'd seen her. [So many people. He'd been a bit frantic.]

[sewayaku]

[ if zara knew about that he'd make fun of you for it nesso (while also being extremely unsurprised) ]

As did I. Still, if one of them sent the message, they'd be listed as the author, wouldn't they?

[ he'd say they wouldn't know what she looked like, but she's the type of girl who would introduce herself to anyone who asked. ]

[sisconning]

I think so, but perhaps there's a way to hide that. This technology, it's not really either of of our area of expertise.

[Yeah about that, Zara. He kind of sort of totally described Fiona to everyone he could in embarrassingly precise and glowing detail.

Or perhaps the ones in charge... [They could change it right?]

[sewayaku]

... Yes. That's what I was thinking.

[ they're in charge of the so-called "network," after all. ]

At the very least, we should ask for an explanation from them. They should understand the situation better than us.

[sisconning]

One would hope they would have some explanation to provide.

[All right. This is a good plan. Nesso can get behind this. Talking to Zara is always so fruitful, after all.]

Where do we find them?

[sewayaku]

According to what I've heard, we should be able to contact them with these phones. But I don't know their address, so to speak...

[ he huffs, frustrated. If only he knew how to use this technology better - how many times has he wished that in the past five minutes? ]

They'll likely show up sooner or later on the network.

[sisconning]

So we keep an eye out until then.

[He hates waiting when it comes to Fiona. And that seems to be the only course of action so often lately. Waiting.]

I will ask around too, find out if anyone does know how to track them down without waiting for them to show themselves.

[sewayaku]

A good idea. [ Zara hates waiting just as much as Nesso does - and feels similarly about their situation. They're entirely too useless lately for his tastes. But there's nothing they can do about it; that's the issue, he supposes. ] ... We'll get to the bottom of this.

[sisconning]

[Nesso nods, serious now. They'll figure something out. Because if Fiona is not here, he can't abide by someone using her image to do something like this.]

We will. I promise you that much, Zara.
