[network] Things just got a little bit hotter around here.

[There isn't much visible in the video feed at first; the image is grainy and out of focus, and the frame briefly scrolls upwards a couple of times before falling into its rightful place, as though someone is tweaking the settings.

When it settles, all that's visible is a massive, dark shape silhouetted against the sky. He glares at the screen with two baleful red eyes and brimming rage makes the biolights tracking down his cheeks burn bright. Two words boom over the line.]

Explanation. Now.

So am I.

[Seriously. Is this guy even listening to himself.]

Look. I'm still a cop. And I'm still going to protect people around here.

So shut up, and keep your hands to yourself.

[You big child.]

Long as nobody lands on the List, they're fine. It's that easy.

[And don't just. Make him angry.]

What list?

The List.

Grocery list? Hot-or-not list? Bots you owe credits to list?

There's a lot of lists.

The D.J.D. has just one List.

The who?

Devious Juicebox Delivery service?

[ROLLER.]

Cute.

[No it's not.]

Tell you what, you get between me and anybody on the List, you protect 'em as long as you can. Works for me.

Yeah, that'd work a lot better if you actually elaborated here.

Otherwise, I'm just going to keep guessing the acronyms.

Whatever makes you happy. You'll learn.

[It actually is kinda funny.]

Decadent Judgmental Diggers?

Drunk Jealous Daredevils?

Dainty Jumping Decorations?

...

Dumb Jughead Dwarves?

[Helex actually laughs. For real. It's a weird feeling.]

Y'know, I kinda like you!

... Yay?
