Thanks for including me. I'll let my team know.

I'll work on that earpiece. We won't let you down.

[ Let it never be said that poiteness, professionalness, and gratitude doesn't register on the otherside of dozens of firewalls, and the digitally monotonedvoice. A corner of Barbara's mouth still curves. It might not be noticeable, but it does still happe. ]

Confirmed.

Once you've spoken to them, if they agree and acquire the same,
contact me back here with their names, and I'll connect them as well.

My team is holding off for now. There are other things they need to get ahold of first.

But I've got my own now, so add me to the list when you can.

[her_own_rules]

Affirmative.



[ A beat. ]



A question—what would you like your name on the network to be?

[stresstokens]

Are we all using secret IDs on this thing?

[her_own_rules]

Many heroes do as part of protecting their identity, but it is not required.

[stresstokens]

Protecting it from everyone besides you, huh?

I might as well fit in. I'll go with Aazat.
