This is gonna piss off Ross and I'm all for that, but even after all the shit that's gone down in the last six years I don't know how I'll explain this.

[The video had opened on what there is to be seen of a partially overcast sky between two of the taller buildings of Dualis before tilting down; obviously whoever's broadcasting is walking along the road, because the picture continues to move at a steady pace down what looks to be a slightly less metropolitan-city-ish shopping district. Part of the hand holding the phone is visible, but nothing else about the person speaking can be seen yet.]

And my limit of pissing him off got blown by about the time I woke up in cyberpunk Egypt, so I've got two questions for anyone with any kind of answer - how in the hell do we get home, and does anyone have some tools I can borrow so I can break some sensitive electronics?

[...yeah, that's all he's volunteering for now. Sorry about that.]

They don't even let you bitch about businesses on here. So you better bet they'll be tightenin' things up after what you're sayin'. Especially after the bombin'.

[Yondu's going to hurry and warn him. Because he doesn't know Clint. But he does know these assholes are looking for any reason to bring suspects in.]

I'm 601 in the newbie buildin' by the way. [If he still wants to make use of those tools.]

[pretendtoneedme]

[Well, he can safely say he didn't expect that. Clint's voice goes from a bit lackadaisical and annoyed to suddenly more sharp and focused, without changing his volume or much in the way of intonation at all.]

Bombing?

[He notes the room number, but the other topic is much more important to get information on if there is that level of restriction.]

[yondu]

Someone likes to express their unrest with explosions. And someone else doesn't like people askin' a whole lotta questions about it.

[They're not censoring this, though. So maybe they're hoping someone will slip up and say something. Or maybe his translated accent is sliding by moderation]

You know how terrorist situations get real strict leaders upset.

[Real strict = totalitarians. Just he knows better than to call it by that name at the moment.]

[pretendtoneedme]

Seen it a few times. [More than few; that was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s primary goals as an organization, get rid of anyone trying to control others. Through any means necessary. He's instantly watching his language a lot more than he was before, although again there's no change in tone.] Explosions hurt a lot of people, so I can't say someone being pissed at them is wrong. I'd be pissed if I got caught in one.

But I might not get as pissed as them.

[yondu]

[He can see the guy immediately gets it, and he can appreciate that. Means he's quick to catch onto the gravity. Or the potential gravity of it.]

[Yondu's pretty damn sure he's not overestimating it.]

Sorta makes you wonder, don't it?

Anyway I'm packin' up some of my tools, if you're still inclined.
