*The day will pass without incident and that evening Zero will meet them as they leave.*

Zero: I've been informed that Highrise will no longer be a problem to any of you. Now we just have to see if the rest of The Set will cause any issues.

OP: What happened? Or is it permissible to ask that?

Zero: You can ask, but are you /sure/ you want the answer?

OP: *that makes him second-guess* I do… *glances at Light and Moon - do they?*

Zero: ...He's dead. You'll likely hear about it on the news soon.

OP: *had suspected but…* What will keep The Set from coming after Master in retribution? I'm sure they'd make the connection.

Zero: Because Lightweaver has no connection with the Ghosts.

OP: Even though his attacker is dead the night after two attempts on his life?

Zero: He made a few mistakes that let the Ghosts track him down. It's why those higher up don't tend to hire assassins.

OP: ………….. *nods* What now?

Zero: Ironshade and I are going to help get security up here and at all of Lightweaver's businesses, make sure The Set really is going to leave him be, and then we'll go, and life will go back to normal.

OP: Will we be able to keep in contact with you? For all you've done for us…

Zero: *smiles and nods* Of course. *offers OP his hand* I'd be glad to keep in contact.

Light: *little grin* Thank you.

OP: *readily takes that hand* Yes, thank you. And . . . Master Ironshade, too? Will you let him know that extends to him as well?

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: *grins* You can ask him yourself tomorrow. I've no doubt he'll say yes, though.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *nods* Oh...and you were going to check Master's systems?

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: *nods* That's my plan for tonight.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: Time to head home, then?

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: *nods* It is.
Light: ....I insist on paying you for this. You're improving securoty at my home and businesses.
Zero: ....All right. I'll write up an invoice for you.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *nods in agreement, and will start shutting things down to head home for the night*

Sorry! I thought I replied! orz

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: *will help out and is ready to follow then home.*
Light: *once home* Is there anything you need me to do?
Zero: *shakes head* Just let me borrow Optimus for a bit.

[2b_a_hero]

OP: *if Light's okay with that, he's ready to do whatever Zero needs of him*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: Show me whay security is in place already aside from you?

[2b_a_hero]

OP: Yes, of course. *and he'll do so - once they're done, he'll offer to get Zero a cube of fuel*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: That sounds great, thank you. *will follow OP to the sitting room.*

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *will lead him to the sitting room, checking as he does so if Light and Moon have cubes yet, then will go fetch for himself and Zero (and L&M if need be)*

[socrowdedinhere]

*Light and Moon are nearly done fueling, and Moon is singing. She starts another song as Zero and OP settle.*
Zero: *softly to OP.* She has a beautiful voice.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *grins, softly back* She really does. I love listening to her. I know Master does too.

[socrowdedinhere]

Light: *certainly looks content.*
Zero: *smiles* Clearly. ......I think she loves him...

[dragondancer5150]

OP: …………..could be. *that…worries him a little, actually, for both their sakes, though he won't say anything*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: .....*when Moon finishes he /grins/.* You're quite the amazing singer, Moonsong. That was an honor to be present for.
Moon: *shy littlw twitter.* Thank you.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *grins, nodding* Always an honor for me too. *will gather everyone's cubes and take them back to the kitchen to clean*

[socrowdedinhere]

Moon: I'm glad you all enjoy. ~<3 *she'll help OP with the cubes.*
Light: Is there anything else you need to do tonight, Subzero?
Zero: *shakes his head* I'll just be here to sit watch so Optimus can recharge.
Light: *nods* Optimus, why don't ypu choose a holo for us.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *glancing between the two of them* Yes, sir, but first . . . *to Zero* You were going to scan Master to make sure he's free of the effects of that virus…?

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: *little smile* Did he have an episode this afternoon?
Light: *seems to startle when he realizes that he didn't! He was so caught up with work that it didn't cross his mind!!* I... no, I didn't.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: ……….is that a sure sign that it's gone for good, not just weakened? *sorry, worried slave bodyguard gonna worry . . . he just wants to be /certain/, it's a mech's life - many mechs' lives - if they're wrong*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: If it was still in his system he'd not feel well or would have had an episode bad enough to need something today. I'll run a diagnostic while you pick a holo if you want.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *small grin as he nods* Indulge the worries of a slave for his good master? *moves to the holos to choose one for them*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: *chuckles* I can do that. *he's in the middle if doing so when OP comes back.*

[dragondancer5150]

OP: *returns and puts in the disc, starting the vid*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zero: All clear.
Light: That was...so easy. I just...can't believe it was all over so wuickly.

[dragondancer5150]

OP: I'm glad, sir. You've suffered too much for too long. *to Zero* Again, I cannot begin to thank you enough, for everything. From all of us.
