I'm sorry, I'm not here at the moment, but if you can leave a message, that would be excellent.

[And a moment later, Sephiroth comes running, sword in hand... Only to stop, in disbelief, at the door to Lee's office.]

When I heard the yell, I thought it was a more serious concern.

[excellentviolet]

Tim said that the trail came from somewhere near the testing area. Would you have any idea to why they came over here to, well, bug me?

[Lee's office floor is completely covered in ladybugs now. What the hell.]

[theshortestbird]

[That was a terrible, terrible pun. No, seriously. That was almost worse then any of Dick's puns, and his were pretty bad.]

Bugs like sugar, right? Maybe they smelled it in your coffee.

[Maybe he should stay quiet.]

[soldierfirst]

I've never seen bugs like these before.

[He stoops to pick one of the mechanical creations up, turning it about in his hand, peering at the workings. It seems to be just a simple little prank -- especially as he remembers Tim's tendency to tinker every now and then -- but it's his job to consider all the angles, even the ones least likely.] It appears innocent enough, but we should probably test them for spy equipment, explosives, or other threats.

[A pause, and a small admission:] And there's extensive damage to one of the prototype fighting units. I had to extract myself a bit quicker than it could handle.

[Hey, he'd heard the yell and his mind had kicked into 'serious threat' mode. Lee is a capable fighter, after all; if he had been in trouble enough to call for help, it would have to be serious. A sword through the unit had been much more efficient than attempting to abort the test sequence.]

[excellentviolet]

Ah. We can fix that easily enough. Just... how am I supposed to get all these bugs out of my office? They're practically all over the whole room now!

[And Lee's office was a pretty big space!]

And I'm pretty certain it's not my coffee, Tim. I like mine black.
