[Video]

[sightlessly]

[For once Matt has the video on. It's no use to him, but he wants his face to be seen this time, because this is serious. And he's furious.]

I'm going to guess most of us read the post that the ones who call themselves the Null posted. If you didn't, it's because you're on their list. The list of targets they've asked us to kill in exchange for the location of the god killer. I'm not the first to post about it either, but the louder the signal, the less chance it can be missed or ignored.

And it needs to be known.

This is the list of names as of this moment.

I'm no fan of the "gods" who brought us here. I'm no fan of these null either. But I refuse to stand by while people are used as pawns and killed. This is their game, not ours.

[His voice is low. No sunglasses this time. And even if his eyes can't see, they can absolutely reflect indignation and fury. And they are. Clearly.]

If you know anyone on this list, reach out to them. Warn them.

If you are on this list and cannot protect yourself, reach out to someone you trust to help. If you cannot protect yourself, I can help. I will help. Lives are not games or currency.

I think this is a pretty clear demonstration of how much these Null value our lives.

[The "gods" at least seem to have some vested interest in keeping them alive to feed off of. Not that that's all that better. But still. Neither side is their friend, so far as Matt can tell.]

Great. I appreciate it, Nick. I'll get it out to everyone I can. Forewarning may be the best weapon we have at the time being.

[Oh and speaking of that.] Other thing on my mind is the clinic. Couple kids who work here whose names were on that list were ready to stop coming instead of put the place in danger. If things go south, this place above all others needs to be operating at full capacity. I know the city's got a guard, but having a watch kept on the clinic in particular... might be more than worthwhile.

[Neither side is their friend, but it's clear to Nick which side is the lesser of two evils.]

If there's one place we do need running when folks are out for blood, it's the Clinic.

[Hell, they need that place running even when folks aren't trying to kill each other.]

I'll see if I can't get a couple of the Guardsmen to watch the place full time until further notice. Glacius would be a good choice. Big fella, made of ice, packs one hell of a punch when he wants to. Pretty sure he's close with Miss Galloway, and would volunteer in a heartbeat. I've had him watching the lab, but I can put that on my route for now.

[sightlessly]

Yeah. My thoughts exactly. And even if the people who work here can fight, they're better served being healers.

[Matt is well aware how dead he would be if not for Claire, so he has a fairly strong appreciations of doctors and nurses and otherwise.]

Great. I'll be keeping my attention here too, when I can. But like I said, the more eyes the better. [A faint smirk. And now he does say it.] Metaphoric eyes in my case, but you get what I mean.

[synthedick]

Yeah, I do.

[Nick can't help but smile just a little at this guy's sense of humor, even if things do like grim right about now.]

I'll go make a few calls and see what other information I can send your way. Until then, you be careful.

[sightlessly]

Sounds good.

[Matt think offers another smile, tired somehow, but a smile.]

Thanks. You be careful too. Things could get messy fast, if it goes that way.

[synthedick]

Let's do what we can to keep it from coming to that.

[And with that, he'll head off. He'll be in touch, Matt.]
