You know, going back to this for a moment, I can't help but feel it's missing a followup.
*Text conversation between Motoko and Hiromi*
M: Boys are dumb.
H: *Sighs* What happened?
M: Did you know Ichi was keeping the Minotaur in his backyard garage and securing it with a padlock?
H: HE WHAT?! That's what the secure Tiger Claw warehouse is for!
M: IKR. The gonk's been getting in moonlight practice with it. Made it really annoying when I needed to study its programming. Had to put on a whole dominance display to get him to fess up.
H: ... What. Did. You. Do.
M: Nothing much, you know. Just snuck into his room while he was showering, waited for him to finish and come out, and when he realized I was there, I backed him into a corner and placed my arms on either side of his head so he couldn't escape while I asked him where my minotaur was.
...
...
M: Hiromi, are you still there?
H: ... *Hiromi is Typing*
Ichi was just getting home from a delivery when he got the notification ping.
"Oh hey, a message from Motoko, I wonder what she wants now?"
Without thinking, he opened his chat window.
M: OHMYGOD!ICHI,I'MSOSORRY!IDIDN'TMEANITLIKETHAT, , 'TMEANTOMESSWITHYOURFEELINGSLIKETHAT!
I: Motoko, god gave you a spacebar. Please use it.
M: ... Right. Sorry. Hiromi just read me the riot act for what I pulled this morning and my brain went into panic mode. I was an absolute, total, Grade A Gonk. It was a total violation of Trust and privacy and I should not have done it.
I: Oh, that. I'll admit I was a little weirded out, but it was no biggy.
M: Still. It shouldn't have happened in the first place and I promise I'll never do something that gonk brained to you or the others ever again. I'll make it up to you, I promise.
I: No worries. Honestly, just hearing that you realized what you did was wrong is apology enough.
M: Also, I guess I'm triple sorry now.
I: Why?
*Message from Hiromi*
H: All Section 9 Members are to report to Motoko's apartment at 19:00 hours for a MANDATORY Training BD on appropriate coworker interactions. I repeat, this training is MANDATORY. Failure to show up will result in your pay being withheld.
M: ... Again, Sorry.
