[oh mr. gnosis. silly, silly man. he hasn't heard of any talk about him intentionally insulting anyone without good reason, but shalem tends to have thicker skin than most, that he sheds regularly. if gnosis ever decides to change this policy of his and let the insults fly without provocation, shalem can handle him.]

I would appreciate that greatly, Mr. Gnosis. I'm glad to see that you've been well, all things considered...

You and Operator Mizuki both. But given I'm here now, I don't mind if you were to lean on me for the same duties that I perform in Rhodes Island.
