You realize that if you're hesitant to share information, I will be too. If they are truly in trouble as the person who set me on this path believes, being skittish will accomplish nothing.
It's my understanding that the destination of the bad decision bandwagon was implant removal. If that's the goal across the board, I'm not certain why your contact is expecting a response from the original ID, if at all.
They're obviously in trouble. They willingly gave themselves over to unknown neurosurgeons on the word of a changeable AI to have a piece of equipment removed that's designed to make living in this world plausible. If we're only just now choosing to be concerned, the timing's a little off.
The lack of initial message was notable, and then the lack of reply upon later reaching out, thus indicating that the procedure had begun. I assume that the timeframe was apparent in some way, or else the panicked questioning I faced would be misplaced.
I was concerned when I asked you to look after Hope, believing that you had the methods to prevent this foolishness.
They were going in yesterday morning and were told they'd be gone for approximately three days.
If Daisy's in New Honolulu, Illya would be the one to ask.
[ he's the one she was most likely to remain in contact with even after falling off the grid with the rest of them. there are the beginnings of a creeping concern, but this was always going to be a disaster, and if their implants really are removed there's no way of tracking them now. ]
As for Hope, she considered the possibility of retrieving what she's lost worth the risk of severe cognitive repercussions. Though everyone seemed to have the same plan with regards to establishing a contact. You're already in touch with hers?
Illya seemed to relent on his lies, and asked again for potato chips for her. You'd know better than I would there, but it seems as if he's no fan of you for your attempted antics before. It shows that few people can ask after something themselves and get answers when someone such as you tries desperate attempts to stop things.
Not that I approve of your efforts. After all, they were poorly executed.
But I'll pass along what information I did get here, especially regarding the length of time around the procedure. I'll reach out if I have more questions, or send that individual to you.

Since when?
no subject
Are you confirming my suspicions? I assumed you got nothing out of Hope, as you never let me know.
[Akechi never told him to report back after he pushed him into bothering Hope. But. You know.]

The reply Akechi gets is distracted at best. ]
Was it supposed to be an interrogation? I missed the memo.

Meanwhile, I'm following up on my sources for an interested party.
[Could be an interrogation. But that's not what he's here to do.]

[ For the last 48 hours. Which is to be expected, he reminds himself sharply as dread creeps in fresh with the reminder. ]

I hadn't realised I was interrogating her.
Who's the someone?

So, is Daisy truly in New Honolulu?

[ Since talking to Stephen seems to be dragging it out quite a bit... ]
I'll be around.
no subject
[Or who he assumed would be.]
If Daisy and the others don't turn up, let me know. My interest in this will be prepped and ready to act.
["Interest" is definitely a noun referring to a person there.]
