Ghost 03

Transcription of audio recorded from the office of Inquisitor Alpha is as follows:

[knock on the door]

IA: Come in.

[sound of door opening. Footsteps. Door closes.]

Female Voice: I want answers.


[there is a slight pause. The sound of someone shifting in his seat is heard.]


IA: Don't we all? What can I do for you, miss double A?


Analyst Alpha: This so-called "Ghost" has somehow managed to hack into my email and listen in on the Council. So tell me, why have you not found him, yet?


IA: It's a ghost, remember? Presumably he can walk through walls.


AA: Don't give me that shit. You know who it is, don't you?


IA: [sighs] And if I knew who it was, why would I keep that a secret?


AA: You sided with the Keeper. You're trying to destroy my work--


IA: It's true that I have moral objections to the Neomaria project, but I most certainly--


[there is a slamming sound]


AA: You and Keeper and Scribe are trying to end my experiment! I know it! You think I don't know that Keeper is Anchises? It's obvious! Anyone with half a brain could figure it out!


IA: First of all, there is no concrete evidence to support that accusation-- and it is quite an accusation. Secondly, it's pronounce "Anchises." The C-H makes a "K" sound.


AA: I want Ghost's head.


IA: Good for you. What will you do if you don't get it? Sic your lapdog on me? Won't that be interesting? I wonder how the Martyrs would react to being sent after an Alpha? Oh, but they are so loyal, aren't they?


AA: Inquisitor Alpha, will you please stop trying to change the subject!?


IA: No, I don't think I will. Now will you kindly get out of my office?


AA: You--


IA: Me! Yes, me. My office. That you are in. Get out.
