"Well, oh hum, hum, visitors! The last time was just after Isolation!"

"Well, what are you looking at me like that for? Oh, yeah, I'm a dragonish, never met someone whose nanites expressed as a dragon before? Why did you all join the Rebellion anyways? Don't you know that's dangerous?"

"My 'friends' apparently aren't all willing..."

"Your friends, they are stupid in the head."

"I heard you were there... When the sky was lowered. That you're the only one alive that can say that..."

"Hohoho, quite exaggerated, I'm only 150, you know. Now my Sire, he has seen that."

"And yet, none of us understand it, or why..."

"My sire had some ideas..."

"Agent Anarchyos, report! Are they aware of our presence?"

"No, none alive remember us, or why we came."

"Excellent, proceed with phase two of the plan. Tell me, agent Anarchyos, are they dead?"

"No, much more sporty that way, besides, none of them knew anything useful."

"Hey Galakron, old friend, what brings you to these parts?"

"You remember Tantrum?"

"Your little squirl, right? Bout ankle high to a dragon, and not mindful of my majesty?"

"Ah, you'll never forgive him that, will you?"

"His bite got infected! I needed a week of medical attention, I'm unlikely to forget. What about him?"

"He said things, troubling things, about the group we saw just passing by just now. Especially about this Anarchyos..."

"He said worse about me, is he really that good a judge of character?"

"No, but he does know the difference between a flintlock and a phase-shifted coilgun, I made sure to teach him that."

"Wait, that can harm even a dragon!"

"Yes, he apparently has one, and no permit, nor a legitimate reason to have such a thing, he's apparently a thug and a minor criminal, a hacker, a romantic like all such are..."

"And the rest?"

"Unknowns, mostly, The youngest one was into competitive gambling, the other two are mercenaries, hired killers of some skill... But impressively good at avoiding attention."

"Would they try?"

"I doubt it, I have more enemies than you do now, you outlive yours, regularly, old friend."
