[Ordinarily text is their preferred method of communication. It is simple, to the point, and allows them ample time to compose their response with as many polysyllabic words as possible, as if that might compensate for their apparent youth. But there is little to no time for that, now. So the transmission, when it occurs, is audio only.

The tone of the speaker is that of a child's - albeit a cold, brisk, and businesslike one.]

Some time ago, it seems that a significant portion of the Moira's crew, when it existed, was abducted by a group of interdimensional slavers. They were held against their will. Exploited for the purposes of others.

[A hiss of a match being struck, and the crackle of something being set alight, and the voice continues:]

There were children among them.

[A moment. A halting intake of breath, the fluid cadence of their speech disrupted. Muzzling the impulse that swells in their chest, the boiling ember of rage that eats at what passes for a SOUL, for one such as them. Expression flat, words dull. Control. Control. Always, control.

Speak as though nothing is wrong.]

I am transmitting the Ingress signature one may use to access this world. Those that possess a conscience, or those that simply wish to have something to fight - [The last word twists into something else, a live snake coiling into a promise.] - I would encourage you to take action.

private to METTATON:
The way is open. Try not to get killed.

[Attached is the Ingress signature. They've already wasted more words than he's worth, honestly, but if something should happen to him, both Frisk and Asriel will very likely have something to say about it.]

private to ASRIEL and FRISK:
I will be away on a mission of sorts for a few days. Do not worry about me, and please, do not follow. I am well equipped for the task.

They are capable of restricting movement via a collar they force around the necks of those under their care. I imagine that should they catch you, they will attempt to do the same now.

They regard those they catch as lesser, as beneath them.

They have evaded punishment for far too long.

[Well, that's definitely more information for him to take into account and from the sounds of it, these people are worth less than the dirt beneath their feet.]

sounds like a slaver to me.

is there anyone else that can back up what you've told me? i'm not trying to disprove what you're saying - i just want to be sure.

Those that were caught and used. Many of them, I hear, can corroborate that story, assuming they've not blocked it from their memory.

[Not that they'd blame them.]

any that you know by name so i can contact them?

None who would want their past connections publicly broadcasted.

Ask it of the network at large, given that you're so interested.

i see.

[He's got an idea of who he can ask, though regardless of that, his intentions will be made clear:]

if what you say is true, i'll take action.

Good.

If we hit them fast enough, we will not have to fear for recapture.

that's ... an extremely clever idea.

catch them while they're off guard.

[lmao]

Precisely.

Burn the entire place. Destroy what cannot be burned.

Make it impossible to justify the cost of rebuilding their empire.

[oh no

these freaking impulsive kids!!]

nothing to do with 'slavery' is justifiable, so i have no qualms helping with burning it down.

You would be surprised at how apparently rare that mindset is.

["Basic decency" is a low bar for most people to clear, but most fail even those basic requirements!]

[Jesus, if Kurt were the type, there'd be a 'what the actual fuck?' thrown into this conversation.]

then they deserve to burn as well.

My thoughts exactly.

Though I hear that sort of thing is generally frowned upon.

if burning is frowned upon, how about being run through by a sword?

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is absurdly appropriate for Kurt's current mood!]

[Golly! They like the cut of his jib!]

That sounds like a very cutting sort of repayment :)

[Haha, cutting, he'd said. That's clever.]

yes, that's exactly what i was thinking. :D

[You...they like you. Vaguely, anyway, not that they'd ever admit it.]

Doubtless I'll see you there, in any case.

[Which is absolutely fine; they can simply share a mutual sort of fondness that isn't so known.]

i shall be looking forward to it.
