Diode’s Chat with Chornozem

Text

Diode: Need some help here, Chornozem. I had a close call today. Think it was some thugs. Any leads on who might be gunning for me?
Chornozem: I could use a hand myself. The Ward’s making moves – the place is swarming with those clowns. Doubt it’s all for show.
Chornozem: Why isn’t Nestor handling your shit? You’re his pet tech, after all.
Diode: The damn scanners, that’s why. You’re lucky you’re not in this mess with us.
