She gets the note just before lunch. She's in the PHQ in less than twenty minutes, then she knocks on Piggot's door politely.

"I would, so maybe I'd have a mysteriously easy time assassinating him, but that leaves the rest of the Nine to contend with."

[mrglam]

"Which, if I can Siberian around, might be quickly reduced to just the real Siberian."

[thinkering]

"Buuut then we have a real Siberian."

[mrglam]

"Yes. Yes we do. I wonder if my Siberian could damage that one?" Pause. "It totally could."

[thinkering]

"However, if, say, the real Siberian wrecks all the cameras in sight thereby escaping with no implications about the strength of your version, we continue to have a real Siberian."

[mrglam]

"Ergo the cameras shouldn't be in sight. I don't think she's ever shown any thinker abilities that would give her a leg up on other people when it comes to detecting hidden surveillance. And when my Siberian is fighting her, she'll presumably be pretty busy with it."

[thinkering]

"It's still dicey."

[mrglam]

"Yeah. Cameras can multiply, though, I could conjure bots along the way, as long as I have one eye on the scene and one unsupervised place, I can keep a constant number of cameras around, plus more than one Siberian keeping the real one occupied."

[thinkering]

"You might have to be hypnotized to pull it off."

[mrglam]

"Probably. If you're the one running the show I might even become immune to Jack, too, if it is some power he has."

[thinkering]

"Depends how it works. And whether he can use it nonsubtly if he wants."

[mrglam]

"Speculating about all the possible ways his hypothetical extra power could work is probably not gonna get us anywhere useful."

[thinkering]

"Probably."

[mrglam]

"Speaking tactically, we - my Siberian - could probably get rid of Winter, Skinslip, and Screamer fairly easily, once we had a bead on them. Nice Guy and Miasma, we'd definitely need you."

[thinkering]

"I don't know if I'd do anything about Miasma, but yeah, if I ever catch Nice Guy alone he's Dead Guy."

[mrglam]

"You'd probably be able to actually see Miasma, which is the only reason he's as hard to kill as he is."

[thinkering]

"I don't work on people who turn legitimately invisible, just people who make it so you can't see them. No idea which he is."

[mrglam]

"Oh. Hmm, then I suppose the best way to deal with him is sneaking up on him, he only turns invisible while he's using his gas power."

[thinkering]

"Yeah, tag him with a tracker or something."

[mrglam]

"...next time we do the hypnosis thing, you need to try to convince me to make an invisible bot."

[thinkering]

"Oooooh."

[mrglam]

"I managed to do something almost invisible by mimicking those stupid monkeys, surely I can do the real deal."

[thinkering]

"When do you wanna try it? What else should we try while you're under?"

[mrglam]

"Whenever, and I'm not sure. Can you think of something that'd work on Miasma?"

[thinkering]

"Spiderweb sorta thing, if he moves it tells you where he's at."
