*the sound of a small device shatters and echoes through the near darkness. A dim ceiling light is all that illuminates the area.*
"It's a shame," a voice said, "Shadow died..."
"How?" a higher pitched voice asked.
The original voice sighed. "It was a shame, he was a good soldier... he did just as I told him to... even killed his own family..."
A third, more deep voice spoke up, "That's because you forced him under your control with that little chip of yours..."
"Still, he could have gone against my programming at any moment... save for the fact that the failsafe activated..."
"Well," a fourth voice asked. It seemed more calm and cooler than the rest, as if he didn't care about almost anything, "what do you want to do now?"
"Well," the first voice said, "now that we know where one of the material deities are, we might as well target it..."
"Understood, sir," the higher-pitched person said.
"Well, make it happen, then," the first voice said.
"Will do, sir." the person then disappeared into the darkness.
"Ten zenny says he loses," the deeper voiced person said.
"I don't take bets..." the cooler-voiced person said as footsteps rang through the building.
"Do you want the second try, if he dies?" the first voice said.
"Yes sir," the deeper voice agreed.
