(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: hey, you're bow's girlfriend right? this is mamoru/tux
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Yep, that is me, Mamoru-san, Sayaka/Sharpsong, hi! Anything up?
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: it's about bow, you know how he has that AI with him? it can take over. he says it's okay for now but i explained all the ways in which it is NOT ok, and he seemed willing to remove the control part if not the whole AI chip
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i have a couple of friends who'd definitely be able to help with that, i think he just needs some more cajoling, maybe
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i mean HE has a friend. sailor mercury. the other one i was thinking of was sailor pluto, she's got medical and technical training as well
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: For real, you convinced him!?
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Oh, thank you so much!!!
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I have been having literal nightmares about Crystal Hope.
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Both Nurse Meiou and I tried convincing him to let go of her, but he would keep clinging to her.
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Until she is removed, absolutely watch your back around her! You can never know what is going to happen. She has a reputation.
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i only PARTLY convinced him. i REALLY don't like backseat drivers. i convinced him that removing her ability to control him was necessary, and i think nurse meiou and sailor mercury together could probably extract that part without damaging crystal hope
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah i have experience watching my back around people i would otherwise trust because of things that can take them over anytime
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: he's worried about losing his powers, which is why he doesn't want to let go of crystal hope entirely, right? i dont think it works the way he thinks it works. i bet hannah could build him an intelligent device
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: It's already a lot that you managed to convince him, partly or not.
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: What prompted it?
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i guess i maybe just found the right way to put things.
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: watching it happen prompted the conversation
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: he was fighting someone that he and crystal hope thought might kill him (it was incorrect information) and CH took over
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: when i told him, he made her stop, but... i can't help thinking that maybe she LET him stop her
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: If she has started playing her cards that way, the sooner the better
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I also have friends from her same planet of origin, so I could get warned about how dangerous she really is.
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: If you know of Kyubey, they are about the same.
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah, i've put roses through kyubey before
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i can help once we get a bunch of people back out of a portal that queen beryl threw into a plaza in juuban
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i mean if you end up needing me. you probably won't.
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Oh, is that why that place is blocked?
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I would be thankful for your help, really.
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah, that is definitely why that place is blocked.--okay, well, call me if you need me, then, but please not until after this is resolved
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Ok, I will, thanks for the warning and the pointing towards Mercury and Pluto.
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: surely!
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Where does that portal lead to?
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: We don't know yet. Mercury, Kunzite, and Naru just went in with some extra supplies and some tech to try and establish a method of communication, we'll see how it goes.
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I hope it isn't too dangerous, I will check the Shed regularly for any good news.
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: thank you! :thumbsup:
(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Thank you too, take care!
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you too!
