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.

The PRT officers find a way to spray anti-foam in strategic places and move Lung like a huge block of foam.

"This... was fantastic work, honestly," Armsmaster says. "I must commend you all for it, and especially you, Lorica, for the strategy."

[thinkering]

"Thank you."

[acanofworms]

"You'll be going high places in the Protectorate if you keep this good work up," he says, a bit awkwardly.

[thinkering]

"...Thank you."

[acanofworms]

"Anyway, let's return to the PHQ to debrief, and then everyone has the rest of the night off."

[thinkering]

Assembly! Debriefing! So exciting!

[mxglam]

Not very much! There isn't a whole lot to talk about, since they actually succeeded in spite of the wrench Oni Lee threw into the plan, it's mostly just congratulating each other and going over some details of the engagement, then details about how to handle the media. In other words, same old.

And then they're dismissed for the night.

"My body can't decide whether I'm wired or need to crash," Lorica comments to Glam.

[mxglam]

"I'm pretty much the same. I predict lots of tossing and turning. And, we actually captured Lung. Talk about morale boost."

[thinkering]

"I got footage of those faces he was making over and over again."

[mxglam]

"Oooh, I definitely want to see that. I wonder if we can convince PR to publish that."

[thinkering]

"It's probably a bad idea, honestly, but we can watch it ourselves."

[mxglam]

"Would it be a bad idea to show it to him in the brig?"

[thinkering]

"Prrrrrobably."

[mxglam]

"Awwww."

[thinkering]

"Yeah, I know."

[mxglam]

"He was angry at Rewind before, now..."

[thinkering]

"...now let's hope they Birdcage him."

[mxglam]

"Yup. It might be useful to publish funny videos of him, so he won't be able to command as much respect as he could before..."

[thinkering]

"No, that's exactly why not to, we don't want him thinking he'd better go earn some extra respect."

[mxglam]

"Yeah, you're right," they-

[mrglam]

-he sighs.

[thinkering]

"I make a habit of that."

[mrglam]

"Yes, I've noticed. It's why I love you." Pause. "Well, it's one of the reasons."
