[ but he doesn't want to!!!!! ]

Better the devil you know, as they say?

[jacksonian]

Better not getting murdered, or having the people you love get murdered. If you're in with someone that dangerous then you should probably do what you need to to keep him appeased.

[ #courage ]

[ being a coward is sounding more and more sensible the way Mark describes it ]

The more you talk, the more sensible you sound.

[jacksonian]

Thanks, I guess. Anyway, staying in with him isn't going to get you killed, right? Or put you in danger? Better to be behind him than in front of him, right?

[brushoff]

It's not going to get me killed right now, at least. Who knows what Lucifer will do in the next few months, he's so damned mercurial.

[jacksonian]

Yeah.

Hey, you don't know anything about Lucifer's relationship to the guy who looks like me, right?

[brushoff]

Which one? The boring scientist guy or Admiral whatshisface?

[jacksonian]

Admiral Whatshisface.

[brushoff]

I don't. Do you want me to find out?

[jacksonian]

[ A pause. ]

Can you?

[brushoff]

I can try.

[jacksonian]

I'd really appreciate that, actually. I feel like Lucifer has some death grudge against Admiral Naismith, and I definitely don't want to be caught up in that. Dying isn't high on my list of desired activities in this world.

[brushoff]

What makes you think that? If I'm going to press Naismith for information, I'd like to know as much as possible.

[jacksonian]

I don't know. It seems like a bad relationship. Apparently something happened on some submarine?

[brushoff]

I know exactly what submarine you're talking about. I'll poke around and find some information. And, as a matter of fact, I know just where to start asking.

[ Is he...really helping him again? The clone squirms sort of uncomfortably, unsure what you're supposed to do in a situation like this. ]

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

[brushoff]

[ what you're supposed to do is remember the goodwill and help Dorian out when he needs to do something like dispose of a body uh I mean balance his checkbook, gosh Mark!!! ]

Not a problem! And really, if Lucifer's got it out for somebody, I'd like to know myself as well. Thanks for giving me that tip.

[jacksonian]

Yeah. Better to steer clear in that case.

Good luck.

[brushoff]

I have a feeling I'll need it.
