[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.

Only because it was necessary to a case.

[She pauses........ smiles.]

But I do enjoy it, yes.

A case? What are you a cop? Did it went well?

「So many questions.」

No, I am a civilian. I work in partnership with an FBI special agent to solve murder investigations, and sometimes he and I must go undercover to find suspects or obtain evidence.

[She loves putting on an accent for Roxie or Wanda, and she loves dressing up as well. It is even more fun because Booth also adopts quirks and dresses differently for the part he must play.]

FBI...

「Holy Ra! Hey, partner, look she's like taken from one of those movies that Jounouchi likes! Partner, you the-- Oh, right.」

I thought that only happened in the movies...

「Another little pause.」

May I know your name?

It does not happen often, but it does happen.

[When will the next time be? Who will they play? She is not certain anything can top when they performed in the circus.]

Yes, you may. I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan. What is your name?

Sounds like fun.

「Oh another doctor. He'll just assume she's a doctor doctor.」

My name is Atem. Nice to meet you, doc.

「Oh good Ra, it feels good to say it again, without worrying senseless about certain ass that arrived to the cave.」

It is.

[She smiles, and as expected, she does not catch that he assumes she is an MD.]

Atem. Is that a common name where you are from?

[To her, it sounds... dated, to say the least.]

Not really, no.

「Even for his standards, people don't go around naming their sons after the Creator God.」

I see. It is reminiscent of Ancient Egypr, but you could not be... ancient Egyptian. [A pause.] ...could you?

[Anything is possible in this city, right?]

Pharaoh, actually.

「Why would he lie.」

[A pharoah?]

Really?

[She frowns at him. This... really?]

What proof do you have?

[She is not just going to get excited without proof.]

「Ah, well...」

Nothing but my word I'm afraid.

「Needless to say he doesn't quite look very egyptian to begin with more than a very lanky japanese boy.」

But it doesn't mean anything here, that was a long time ago.

[That's a shame. :c ]

It can mean something if you still possess skills from them. My title means nothing here, but I can still use all I have learned.

「He could write her stuff in hieroglyphs! Or speak in ancient egyptian but it wouldn't prove anything.」

I'm not sure how a some old king ideals would help in this place, you have it easier, you help people in other ways.

「Right? Yeah assuming.」

[She shrugs.]

You are used to acting as a leader. That is not a skill to be disparaged. Whereas I can-- apply my knowledge to emergency medical situations. But beyond that, without bones to examine, I cannot do much.

Maybe so. Wait ... Are you a bones doctor?

I am a forensic anthropologist.

[As if... that answers everything.]

「Nope. His modern world knowledge only goes as far at high school and trashy movies, thank you, he... never paid much attention to Yugi's classes, oops.」

... And what is it that you do?

I examine the bones of deceased people to help identify them and to provide forensic evidence to assist federal murder investigations.

[Sorry she's so smug, Atem.]

「Wait, that sounds familiar.」

You know Lance, don't you?

Yes! We are very good friends. Do you know him?
