Entry 24:

Linus Ozias POV:

As I continue to stare at the two members of Cauldron, Contessa smirks and asks, "Cat got your tongue, Mr. Ozias?"
Alexandra and Contessa:

 Ozias?"Alexandra and Contessa:

I reply swiftly as to avoid suspicion, "No, Miss Fedora, I am simply trying to remember who you are, and I am failing, and I am sorry, but the Director I know quite well."

This brings a small chuckle out of Alexandria as she asks, "Well then, Mr. Ozias, you would not be opposed to having a talk with us, right?"

Veiled threat aside, I answer, "Of course! In fact, I was just about to have dinner, and I have extra, so why don't you two come in."

I motion them inside as we sit at the table, and while Marcus sets the table, Kara prepares more food for our "Guests."

From what I can sense, Connor is with Dread and Cyber, preparing the defenses for any possibility of a threat being seen.

Contessa begins, "Well then, to introduce myself, I am Fortuna Contessa. And I am a good friend of Director Costa Brown. And we are both here to discuss a proposition with you."

I raise my eyebrow at this and ask in return. "May I ask what it is and what such a deal entails?"

Contessa continues by saying, "Mr. Ozias, we are not only members of the PRT but of another organization."

She lets that sink in as I say back, "So the Illuminati, then I knew you guys existed." Alexandria did not take the joke lightly.

Alexandria then states, "There is a lot more going on than you can understand, Mr. Ozias. Please consider this deal."

I almost laugh in their faces as I FULLY understand the circumstances better than even they do, but yet they lecture me.

It's almost infuriating, but they're all idiots, so I play along.

" And what might I not be understanding, Chief Director Brown? Please enlighten me so that I may understand, as I am only a humble inventor."

I could hear Alexandria cracking her knuckles in frustration as they were not used to being looked down on, even subtly.
