UN: thedirector

We were instructed to send a message with these devices and this seems as good a place as any.

Although it seems redundant, seeing that we're in the same room.

[reznikolai]

Ah, you must never have passed secret notes underneath the nose of a stodgy tutor before.

Who is it that I have the pleasure of writing to?

[Nikolai might be able to pick her out in the crowd because Lucretia chuckles, reading the response, before setting to typing again.]

I don't think I was quite brave enough for that, back then.

Most people in my world refer to me as the director, but I think Lucretia will be just fine here. And you are?

[reznikolai]

It wasn't bravery so much as an inability to behave.

Delighted to make your acquaintance, Lucretia. Vexing circumstances aside. Likewise, most in my world refer to me as "your highness", but Nikolai will do.

What are you the director of?

[7edacted]

Going against the grain in any form takes some bravery.

The name of it isn’t important, but you could say that we were an organization dedicated to protecting the world at any cost.

[A few seconds later.]

In retrospect, that sounds very much like I’m being coy about running a terrorist organization or something. I’m not sure why I put it like that. We remove powerful weapons from the world.
