[Minimus goes through each set of furniture, investigates the crevices, and returns it to its original location, but better aligned. Then he does it one more time. No sign of a photo.]

Not here. [He stands up with his hips on his hands and looks up. At the vents.] They could have come in that way...

[Thankfully, he can easily change the size of his holomatter projection, so in a way that will totally not terrify Cody, he gets call enough to peek inside them, checking for signs of tampering.]

[toguidethem]

[This doesn't terrify him, but the entire process is really weirding him out. He keeps that to himself.]

Did they come through the vent?

[The vent isn't huge, but it shows obvious signs of tampering. Some very small hands had undid the screws and pushed it open.]

They'd have to be very-

[And Cody accidentally drops a chair on his bare foot. He lets out a yelp, followed by the Dire Wraith swear Whirl had taught him weeks before. It took a lot of work to get it to sound just right, and now Minimus gets to appreciate it.]

[legalcy]

[These tools are extremely fine. Someone with delicate instruments and a tiny avatar-

Or it was someone very tiny with engineering skills.

One culprit comes to mind. Minimus turns around to Cody.] I have an idea-

[And he is nearly sent into cardiac arrest.]

Language, Cody!!

[toguidethem]

[Having been raised as a good boy, Cody's face immediately turns red at the admonishment. Whoops! Talk about the worst person to swear in front of.]

I'm sorry! It just slipped out.

I won't do it again.

[legalcy]

[He remembers to shrink himself to a Verity-level size before standing in front of Cody like a very disappointed parent. Or older sister in this case.]

You do not speak of such things in polite company. I don't want to hear that kind of talk from you ever again.

What have you been listening to to learn such phrases?

[toguidethem]

[Cody endures the lecture with a hung head, knowing full well that he deserves it.]

Yessir.

I'm, um, learned them by listening to bots talk.

[It's a big fib, but he doesn't want Whirl to get in trouble.]

[legalcy]

They speak Dire Wraith?

[toguidethem]

Sometimes?

[legalcy]

Who?

[toguidethem]

[:(]

...

..........

.

Whirl.

[legalcy]

[He looks so tired.]

Of course it was Whirl.

I'll have to talk to him. And you should be more careful of what you say.

[toguidethem]

Okay.

[:(]
