"How is it proceeding?"

"The mark has taken."

"And?"

"It's not fading away."

"Good. Have you received any information yet?"

"Yes."

"What has it told you?"

"That she is one."

"As we thought. Good work, brother."

...

"What is it?"

"There's more."

"So tell me."

"She is one of The Three."

...

"Bring her in."

"Much time has passed, brother."

...

"Why have you failed?"

"She's under some kind of protection."

"And what kind of protection is that?"

"We don't know. It's strong, enough to keep us at bay."

"I see. And tell me, what do we do with things that get in our way?"

"We surpass them."

"Good. Now prove to me that you understand exactly what that means."

"Yes, brother."

"What is our progress?"

"The threat has been taken care of."

"You are sure that it can not escape?"

"Yes, brother."

"And you are sure that it won't be able to be freed?"

...

"Brother, must I again remind you of just what it is we are dealing with?"

"No, brother."

"Good. Now, is the seal working?"

"Yes, brother. It is fully integrated and able to be utilized, but we are running into interference that we believe is coming directly from her."

"I see. Then there is only one thing left that we can do."

"Brother, you don't mean...?"

"Yes."

...

"I will see it done."

"Where is our brother?"

"He was....shot."

...

"Has he been traced back to us?"

"No."

"Good."

...

"What is it?"

"Now that he is gone, what should we do' We know now that she has more protection than anticipated and—"

"Brother, do you know what it is we do?"

"Oh, ah....Yes. We—"

"And do you know how it is we do these things?"

"Yes—"

"If our brother was detected but was not traced back to us, that only means that we will continue with our mission but at a greater risk, and with greater caution. Is this not correct?"

"Yes, brother."

"Good. Now go succeed where our brother has failed."
