Furball takes a look around. The bodies have been cleared, but there is still so much damage and carnage that it'll be a while before it will reopen.
"He was definately here himself." A shudder goes through Furball. "Man, haven't seen a mess like this in a while."
He notices something laying on the floor in the corner and goes over to it. "This might come in handy," he says and puts the object in a pouch on his belt.
He exits the building and approaches Hot Chick.
"Sweetie, I think I need to go check out the casino as well. Lardy had his people go through it, but they probably missed something. His scent is strong as it canbe...honestly there isn't much for me to track, and it is definately leading in that direction. We know he was scene there, so I need to get in there and check that out as well."

the front door the the Lounge opened and Dev Em walked in.
He was dressed in basic clothing, no uniform at the moment. He walked over to Cobalt and sat down at the bar.
"I'll take one of those as well." He says, and laughs a little.
"You've got some interesting friends Des."
He picks the glass up and takes a drink. "I'm sure you've already heard about my confrontation with Lardy."

"It's not official yet, but it will be soon enough."
He shifted on his seat.
"I was going to come over here to have a talk with you about your role in that whole mess...but I got an interesting Omnicom message a little while ago. Seems you and my brother are pretty much off limits to 'local' authority. You guys have friends in high places."
He picks up the drink and takes another sip. "You know what I would say to you...I just hope thta anything new that you guys come across like this can be handled better from now on."
Dev takes a look around to insure nobody is close enough to listen, "I know what you guys are planning. While that is unsettling enough, I know who you are planning it with, and I am so furious about that fact and what you and Lardy cooked up with her it isn't even funny. My hands are tied though...but know that I will be watching every move that you make on Legion World, and if she screws up in the slightest...she's going away for a long time. I don't care who she is seeing."
He set the glass down, "things are going to change around here..."

Well, Dev, in regards to what happened during the whole Red Bee mess, I realize it could have been handled differently but I'm not so sure I would have done so. I did what I thought was best for Legion World.
<finishes his scotch and pours another>
My friends at Weber's World trust me, and you should too. From now on, if something is happening here, on Legion World, I'll make sure you know.
As for the Dark Oval...I don't like it either. I don't trust or like her, and if it was up to me, this would all end with her six feet under. But she's giving us something we've never been able to obtain: real knowledge on the Oval. What she's given us so far has changed the game completely: we now have to take serious action to rescue our allies.
<he shrugs>
No one likes to compromise but in order to get things done, that's the way it works.

"I know, I just hate that we have to rely on someone like her. I do not understand Lon in all this...he genuinely loves her, but I cannot understand why. Guess I never will."
He stretched his neck.
"Sorry, I'm not used to this. I sufered some major structural damage tomy shoulders during the fight, and it normally would have healed by now, but the essential loss of my Durlan powers has prohibited me from trying to adjust things like I normally have in the past. I thinking I'm punishing myself a little for everything."
He proceeds to tell Cobalt Kid about what happened during the trip.
"So of course I get back and charge into Lardy's office...say my piece and leave after he tells me he's pretty mich handing the whole thing over to me anyway." He shakes his head.
"Then Tempest helped me out a bit with the pain I'm in," he starts laughing, "that is going to turn into one more thing between me and Lardy..."

All three of you seem to be walking around with all of this guilt on your shoulders. But the truth is, life happens and things don't go as planned. You can only do what you think is best in those few moments where you've actually got a choice.
After that, you've got to find a way to live with it.
Legion World needs you now, Dev. So you better figure out how to let yourself heal--in all ways.

"I'm getting there...but a lot hit me in a really short amount of time," He starts laughing. "I wanted to come in here and be all pissed off at you, but I'm about out of that. I need to figure out what the hell I'm going to do once I get the keys to the office. There is such a mess to clean up...people to talk with, things to try and smooth over. That and I need to see exactly how much Lardy took from people and see what we can do about that before there's any massive legal action fo his actions."
He shakes his head. "Take care of him through this mess Des. He is at a bad point in his life...Believe me, I of all people understand where he is. Thing is how we deal with it. Did he say if Tempest was going with you or not?"

I'm not sure if Tempest is coming. I certainly don't intend to get in the middle of that budding love triangle.
But I will take care of him. He's made some bad choices and I think he's starting to doubt himself. I'll try to help him find his way...if my doing so isn't too hypocritical.
<he shrugs>
The Office of Security will clean itself up, you'll see. Time will heal all wounds in that regard and life will go back to normal. What you need to do first and foremost is destroy any robots and have a good long look at your staff. Decide who should be there and who shouldn't.
I've begun to question the Office's existence itself these days. Perhaps it should more tied into the LMB leadership as a way to reign it in.
Legion World is safe now and things have calmed down. There are pressing matters elsewhere--in the Dark Oval and other places--but life on Legion World will return to some semblance of normalcy.

"I'm not sure how much of a triangle it is, but we'll see what happens."
"I know Lon will be with you guys as well, so I'm sure Lardy will be as safe as he will allow himself to be...he just really needs your friendship right now. I've never seen him like this...and yeah it is hypocritical of you, but what can we do? You and he are close...too close for you to have done what should have been done when he started getting out of control."
Dev poured them another drink.
"I know the Office will repair itself...but I want to give it a head start. Everybody stays in place to begin with, and everyone gets evaluated. Speaking of the staff there, if you see Abin, tell him I need to see him as soon as possible. I need his help...especially with you and your crew gallavanting into Dark Oval territory. We may be calm now...I just hope it stays that way."
