[Up in the Chalice, Alexei is watching the concert...and he doesn't look happy.]

This is depressing...

[After the mission, Alexei is rather...peeved at the landing party.]

Great job, team. Thanks to you, we now look worse in the eyes of the public. Only got saved by the quick thinking of Fate... Johnny though...

Moves? Oh, the dancing? It'd take too long to go through the whole story, but... Lockon Stratos had a few videos, and when you're floating through space for days at a time, you have to find something to fill the time.

[Though getting adjusted to performing on the ground had taken a few weeks; Fortunately, his Quantum Brainwaves gave him a very acute sense of balance, so it had just been a matter of getting used to the muscle strain.]

As for the DJs, it gave them a good show, so I expect that they're at least a little satisfied. [Though that may not affect the fury of the higher-ups.]

Lockon being the name of one of your partners in crime, I assume?

[His eyes narrow, a harsh glare. Surely he still can't be skeptical of you... A moment later, he bursts out laughing.]

I'm sure meeting this man one day will be an interesting encounter. Aside from that, good job today, Allelujah.

[He'd gotten used to scrutiny from certain members of the Chalice such as Alexei, so he was more taken aback by the sudden laughter than the skepticism.]

O-oh, of course. He's definitely an interesting man.

[Understatement of the week.]
