[handwriting erratic as always]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

I seem to have become quite popular recently. As such, I'd like to address a few points publicly rather than trying to track you all down individually, as there is only so much time in the day.

- Yes, I am a telepath.
- Ergo, I can hear you when you talk about me.
- My hair color is natural, I would be more than happy to prove it to anyone who asks, and the hair itself is a gift to aesthetes everywhere. I can't help it if you've got no sense of style, Mustang.
- No, I probably don't give a damn about you. Those I do like, know it.
- Don't pay too much mind to Kudoh, he's just jealous.
- I'm far too valuable to be written off casually, as the sharper-minded of you are already aware.
- I know you're here, Aya~

Yes, you would know about that sort of thing, wouldn't you...

Go ahead. I expect his answer will be decidedly negative.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

God's, probably.

Not funny. I'm just getting over the last dose of sedatives.

[haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com]

That's inconvenient. What about the minds of these visitors I've heard about? Any luck with them? Or people who have been experimented on, or temporarily given their powers back for a night?

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Oh, fine, I'm sorry.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

All under the telepathic shield. I don't know how it's done but it's exceedingly aggravating.

[haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com]

Understandable. I hope you discover some way to use your ability that will cause trouble for our captors.

I need to know what I was before I was changed, and I need the Book back.

Believe me, sir, when whatever methods they use to inhibit our abilities are nullified, they will have a lot more to worry about than just you or I. I imagine it'd be quite the show.

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

You can read my mind even through these notes?

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

In my world, we have psychic shielding. It's an implant. It creates a sort of meaningless resonance so all a mindreader can see is 'noise'. I'm not too sure about how it works; I have a friend who'd be able to answer that a lot better. She isn't here, though.

They clearly have some idea of nanotechnology here if they were able to strip out my own nanomachines without completely draining my blood. So, tell me. Do you 'see' 'noise'?

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Through the notes? Hardly. But my usual range is about a mile and a half radius, so someone in the same building is nothing.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

No. They're just - blank. As if they're not even there.

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

Then maybe they're mindless.

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

I don't believe it.

Otacon, I know it's you. You're screwing with me. You had me going.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Tsk, tsk, David. So skeptical - even knowing that someone like Mantis can exist.

I'm sure Hal can assure you he's got nothing to do with this.

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

((The word 'David' above has been firmly crosshatched out and is now illegible))

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Do I have you convinced, or shall I start revealing more sensitive information as proof? I just can't stand skeptics.

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

Alright. You win. I believe you.

Shame you had to resort to childish bully tactics to convince me, but that's the way the world works.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

You're the one who questioned me, even knowing what you do. I can't help it if you're cynical to the point of foolishness.

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

If you can read my mind, you know what I've seen. You know what I've done. You know what I thought of all of it.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, jaded to the extreme, used and abused, I've heard it all before.

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

They're my thoughts. You're not allowed to have them.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Then don't think them so loudly. It's not as if I want them.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

I'm performing a little experiment today. If all goes well, I might be able to help you with the first part. Not sure what I can do about the second.
