[The thing about employing text is that when you start using it when all your broadcasts are in video, people tend to question why you've suddenly switched. So he makes the decision to instead compose himself as best as he can and use video instead.

Unfortunately, he always sort of overestimates his ability to compose himself. He certainly doesn't seem distraught, or panicked, or anything of the sort, but he's definitely shaky. This is definitely a far cry from his normal, slow, quiet, lengthy broadcasts.]

I'm leaving on a business trip abroad for...some length of time. I'm - not certain how long. Please don't try to contact me; I'll be far too busy to answer any messages.

Good day.

And your office decided to send an imPort. Right after recent attacks against imPort-populated areas every couple weeks, and when we got a nasty habit've just disappearing.

So are they just stupid, or is this business not really important to them?

[glassinine]

I - I beg your pardon. Are you accusing me of not being capable?

[hoboagogo]

Don't put words in my mouth.

I'm saying ImPorts ain't exactly the most reliable bunch, whether they wanna be or not. And if you or your bosses thinks otherwise, then you've gotta be blind.

What I am saying is they're either stupid for sending you, or you're giving us bullshit.

[glassinine]

I take offense to your implications.

[hoboagogo]

Good. They're offensive.

But that doesn't mean they ain't true. Unless you got another option there.

[glassinine]

That I am an unreliable employee. Perhaps you should like to come and make a complaint to my superiors, then?

[hoboagogo]

If you're not unreliable, than you're an asshole for not sharing what makes you immune from straight up disappearing through the porter. Or being killed in the next attack against imPorts. Or maybe even grabbed when you're out abroad.

Or hell, you might be both. But you're definitely not neither.

[glassinine]

And now I must endure insults to my character. Are you always so rude?

[hoboagogo]

Pretty much, yeah.

But you ain't given any real response yet other than getting huffy. [Eyebrows quirk, and his arms fold.] So c'mon. Tell me to my face that everything I've said here's total bullshit.

[glassinine]

I prefer not to use foul language.

[hoboagogo]

Use your own words, then.

[glassinine]

Fine. It's - false.

[hoboagogo]

Which part've what I said ain't true and how?

You're a prosecutor. You know convincing people's more than just saying it is or it isn't.

[glassinine]

I have no obligation to convince you one way or the other.

[hoboagogo]

Makes it almost sound like you've got something to hide.

Not helping your case of everyone here calling bullshit on you.

[glassinine]

I am not building a case. I don't have to convince anyone of anything.

[hoboagogo]

Then what's it matter if we don't believe you? Or think you're an unreliable choice or taking a break to smoke a couple rocks or whatever.

[glassinine]

To - What?

[hoboagogo]

[Dry look.] You can just make the message replay if you didn't hear it.

Rocks of crack? Or- I dunno, you might have enough to afford some quality blow.

[glassinine]

I do not understand the words you're using. Are you referring to freebase cocaine?

[hoboagogo]

[how are you a lawyer........!!!]

Freeb- I guess? But yeah, coke. Snuff. Base. Snow. You don't strike me as a pillhead, at least.

Like you said, you don't gotta convince anyone you are or aren't, so what's it matter?

[glassinine]

I have not ever taken and nor shall I ever take drugs, sir.

[hoboagogo]

Alright, sure. Have fun on your trip to Colombia. Bring us back some souvenirs.

[glassinine]

I am going to Canada.

[hoboagogo]

Reefer, then.

Still, bring some stuff back, alright?
