[The video began with an armorless Tucker looking vaguely worried; he wasn't exactly the best at hiding what he felt at any given moment, either with or without the helmet. Now? Now was no exception.

He cleared his throat. Sure.]

Hey, so exactly how bad would it be to be put on an Active Threat List? Like on a scale of one-to-ten?

[Nope. Not guilty at all. Nope. He didn't do anything wrong.]

Tooootally asking for a friend. Yep.

[Because he was friends with himself, dammit, so it wasn't untrue.

Crap.]

[If she's looking for restraints... bow chika bow wow.

Now is NOT the time, Tucker.]

Not really, but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like I stirred up some heavy shit.

[she is not, in fact, looking for restraints thank you.

now is always the right time]

You may have. You see, the Null sent us a list of Hadriel residents they wanted dead in exchange for a weapon to kill Hope. Some of those on the list were children. Naturally, many of us reacted . . .poorly to the Null's suggestion and what had been a list of approximately twenty people doubled.

When the Null arrived, they actively went after people on that list, trying to kill them. In many cases, they succeeded.

Now, I know because I asked it that the Null which is in transmission range is not planning to take up that list again. However, you may now be in no small amount of danger.

[Notes for later.

Well, wasn't this shit just charming? Sacrifices, death, then doubling the murder count. And coupled with what Wash told him about them jacking their implants--]

Yeah, that danger thing is pretty much normal for me now. [He sighed a little, not feeling defeated, just annoyed.] Is there anything I can do?

[she'd like to officially welcome you to Hadriel, Tucker. hope you survive the experience]

Between being here and what I've heard of your world? I'm not surprised. [she can sympathize. and she sighs] Aside from hope that the rest of the Null's friends don't arrive? Not terribly much. I'm sorry. But may I ask what you said to it to provoke such a reaction?

[Okay, heading to the Customer Service counter to demand a refund now. Thanks.]

I'd cross my fingers, toes, and balls if it kept them out.

I just wanted to know if we could infect the rest the way it was so no one would want to fight anymore. Boom, everything can end without killing anything.

[sorry, no takebacks. not without a receipt and a sworn affidavit]

I suppose that would do as much good as any other method I've heard here.

Oh. Oh, dear. Yes, knowing the Null, I can see how it would see what you meant as a helpful suggestion as a threat.
