Scott and Issac returned to their apartment to discover Mandy waiting for them.
Mandy: I'm guessing you got beaten to the punch.
Her voice was monotone. No emotion. Mandy did not even bother looking at the two.
Issac: We just happened to be nearby.
Scott:(facepalms) "We"?!
Issac: Shit! I mean I... Ah, screw it. Yeah, we went to get the data back.
Issac: But on the bright side, the Interloper is captured.
Mandy: What about Emma?
Issac: What about her?
Mandy: Do you not care that she...
Issac: I stopped caring about her, the moment we learned was just using me.
Scott: Good thing you two weren't all that serious.
Mandy:...
Issac: Let's just look on the bright side. We got the Interloper-
Mandy: Yes, I know. You already said that, and I did see the news.
Mandy: I've already made arrangements to be able to dissect the thing.
Scott: How'd you manage that?
Mandy: I told the police it was one of Boom-Boom Wizards' schemes to get back at Emma's mother.
Mandy: They told me I could help.
Scott: And me?
Mandy: I didn't want you to whine, so of course you'll come with me.
Mandy: Tomorrow we start at eight am.
Mandy: So I'm going to go to sleep. Now.
Getting up, she heads towards her room.
Issac: Mandy, are you okay?
Mandy: Better than Emma. She burned to a crisp.
(Slam)
Issac:....
Scott: She might be angry.
Issac: At me or in general?
Scott: Hmm, I need to think about that- Ugh, great.
Issac: What?
Scott: Blood is on the carpet...
Scott: Mandy's nose bleeding issue is officially on my nerves.
Issac:....
Issac: I'm tired too. I'm going to hit the hay.
Going to bed, Issac finds Alive lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, deep in thought.
Issac:....
Alive:....
Issac:.... Are we... Gonna have a problem?
Alive: What appeal does this soft block have? It's where you are forced to waste half of your life.
Issac: I always imagined these two getting a robot butler. Never did I think it would be so philosophical.
Alive: You are a turd.
Issac: Get off my bed and go play with Plato or something.
Alive: Aren't you a hero? Shouldn't you be patrolling the city for crime?
Issac: Do I look like a cop? If there's something big, I'll lend a hand.
Issac: But I'm not going to do their job for them.
