[Hey look, it's everyone's favourite alcoholic valkyrie. She hasn't been around much lately, but she's here now, eying the screen as she idly flicks ash from her cigarette.]

Anyone else who met Salvatore Quisma the other night, let's talk.

[That's it, that's all she has to say.

She just cuts the feed and waits for answers.]

They do have feelers. It's just that Peter Narga is the one that Captain Holiday specifically warned us away from.

But he's supposed to care about our welfare.

Ain't a very good secret organization if the government knows their names.

[So maybe she's just decided the Hornets are dumb as hell and she doesn't like them.]

And I don't think Holiday cares about much except making sure we don't make a mess.

[selfequipped]

If anything, that makes their existence all the more suspicious. But for who, is the real question.

[There's a pause.]

And he cares about the Hornet situation. That much I'm certain about.

[valr]

He cares in that he doesn't wanna lose his job if half of us get called, or you think he's got a personal stake in this?

[It seems like Kate has been paying attention to Holiday.]

[selfequipped]

He cares in that he specifically said the Hornets are a problem we're facing, but I think it's likely he has a personal stake on it.

video; "killed" is definitely the word i was looking for there

You good at reading people?

[It's a genuine question; if she's going to take Kate's opinion on this, she wants to know if her advice is worth listening to.]

[selfequipped]

[If she slows down enough, she is. She doesn't add that little addition.]

I'm great at reading people.

[Because what's a Hawkeye without a little confidence?]

[valr]

[Confidence helps sell it, even if Kara's going to remain a little skeptical until she gets proof. Still:]

So we find out why Holiday has a personal stake in this.

[Hi Captain if you're reading this.]

I'm thinking we still need to talk to the other side. Meaning, Narga.

video;

[valr]

I'm thinking we might not wanna do this over these.

[She's fine for the government to know some things, but if they're going to start talking about contacting Narga, they should probably do it person.]

[selfequipped]

So, let's meet up.

[valr]

You old enough to drink?

[because otherwise they'll have to go somewhere other than a bar and that's the worst.]

video;

[selfequipped]

Yeah. Got a favorite place?

video;

[valr]

Only if you wanna make a trip to New York.

[She hates all the shitty bars where the teleporters are. But she knows that isn't really practical, so:]

There's a place in DeChima that's alright.

[annnnd she attaches an address.]

[selfequipped]

Tomorrow, 10 PM?

[valr]

Sure, I'll see you then, kid.
