You've reached Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. Leave your name, number, and business if you expect a return call. Thank you.

Rest assured, there are no dangers inherent in my ability.

[Well okay, if he got some numbers wrong, Gregor could end up in a very dangerous situation, but his math is never wrong. Still, he'll make extra sure every digit is absolutely correct; he has hours, after all]

'We'? Miles, you can't be going if you're hospitalized.

[dendarii]

[ Miles appreciates it, really. ]

It's only broken legs. I could - I could surely do something.

[driftsintobuffetline]

...Until you break something else. Like your damn head. Stay in bed and work on helping from there.

--God, I hate saying that. [He hates being useless too, Miles, but ...you break so easily.]

[mathemagier]

I assume you've mobilized the Dendarii then?

[dendarii]

[ Miles makes a disgruntled noise over the comm. ]

I am helping from here. Which includes having mobilized the Dendarii, yes. Da already has the details to disseminate.

[mathemagier]

It sounds like you're coordinating well, then. I'm going to get to work on this teleportation equation. Keep us informed. And if anyone else needs a port out, I'll have energy enough for one more after Gregor is secured.

[dendarii]

[ Miles considers that. He should reserve it, for surely someone else will be harmed more at some point during the fight, but ... ]

My brother. Lucifer's trapped him as well. He's the only reason why I know I'll have coordinates in two hours.

[mathemagier]

Your brother? I can't say I'm familiar with him, so I'll need a bit of a description or some other identifying factor. I'll be sending in a camera to assure the coordinates are correct, so that will be sufficient.

[dendarii]

[ Miles awkward little smile is just about audible. ]

His face is one you cannot possibly miss, given it's the same as ours.

[mathemagier]

[There's a tense pause, then a sigh]

Of course. Peter Kane or whatever his name was. He never said he had any relation to you, but then our only conversation wasn't particularly friendly.

[dendarii]

We've found out new information about him since then. He's ... well, he was created to be my clone. An impersonator.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Wait, wait. Asshole Business-Edition-Hermann is your clone? He's pretty shitty at impersonations, the face aside.

[mathemagier]

Cloned-!?

[The objection is out before he has the grace to stop it and tries to tone it down a bit]

That's.. er, rather sinister.

[dendarii]

Yes, it is. I don't know the whole story yet.

[mathemagier]

Well I will port him out as well- to the hospital or elsewhere?

[dendarii]

Hospital, please. He may be hurt as well.

[mathemagier]

Yes, alright. I'll get started then.

[dendarii]

... Thank you. I am truly in your debt.

[mathemagier]

The only debt I will accept is your brother's. If I'm going to be spending the rest of my energy on him, I'd at least like a sincere expression of gratitude.

[dendarii]

... I think I could attempt that, yes.

[mathemagier]

I'll look forward to it, then.
