Oh! --Well, of course, I noticed it! No detail escapes the sharp journalistic eyes of Myriam Scuttlebutt, after all!

...but I didn't know it talked. Did I...? ...no, no I didn't.

[psycholawgy]

He doesn't talk that often.

[cardboard_journalism]

[sudden thought! OH NO]

He's not... hack-able is he?!

[psycholawgy]

There's been some problems with him last week, but Miss Blackquill was able to fix him right away. Now he's as good as new!

[cardboard_journalism]

Oh... okay. Kahk kahk kahk... that's good.

[still, the sudden mental image of the malicious hacker taking control of Athena's necklace and remotely making it tighten up until it choked her had a way of gripping the mind, even if she wasn't sure that was possible...]

Er... but... be careful, okay? Especially inside... you know, CERES.

[psycholawgy]

I could say the same to you.

I know self-defense, so I'll be fine.

[cardboard_journalism]

Oh, right! The judo thing.

Sss, sss, sss! No need to worry about me! The road of the journalist is long and perilous, but I'll gladly brave any hardship for the cause!

[psycholawgy]

Okay.

If anything bad happens, you'll send me a text right away, got it?

[cardboard_journalism]

No problem! You'll be the first one to know.

[Maybe even before Scuttlebutt did!]

[psycholawgy]

Great. Thanks, Myriam. And take care, alright?

I have to go get ready now.
