“A-agent Amaranthus… you’re here? You’re… alive.” There is recognition in his eyes, but he seems terrified all the same. “I, am, I am Agent Ramirez reporting f-for duty… the mission to infiltrate the Brainfreeze Trust… f-failure… they caught me. C-caught my partner. Did something to my head. I, I don’t… remember everything… you bumigned my partner to Hourglbum Penetentiary b-but they had got to him. Used him t-to smuggle in robots. There was a prison break… hundreds of time criminals escaped. Killed the guards. Locked my partner. But they couldn’t escape. They, they didn’t have enough… time… travel… thingies. Devices. So th-they sent back a robot.

It’s somewhere in this time and it’s been building more of itself… killing people, taking prisoners… it told me it would rip an entire building out of time j-just to unbalance the continuum enough. Too many time travels, a-and the prison will fall into the t-time stream. They’ll escape. Kill everyone. Kill time itself.”

“I was supposed to meet my partner at t-the JolieNet S-ServiceCenter. I was too late. He was already dead. I was so scared, I ran. Left behind my briefcase. That robot has been using that place as a hideout. Stashing bodies. Organs.”

“I failed my partner and I failed the agency and I failed everything.” Finally finished talking, the broken man just weeps. He doesn’t seem terribly focused on anyone or anything now.
