Hey! This is Max. Sorry I can't pick up right now; I'm probably snapping pictures of cute animals or something. Leave a message! Or text.

I just got here last month.

[boobwindow]

Not to freak you out. It seems imPorts as a whole have gotten better at responding to these situations, at least.

[timecapture]

How often does this stuff happen?

[boobwindow]

Attacks at Swear-Ins used to happen a lot, but they seemed to have stopped.
There's something every other month.

[timecapture]

But... why?

[boobwindow]

Unfortunately there are people out there who don't like us.

[timecapture]

But why? We didn't ask to be brought here.

[boobwindow]

I know, but not everyone understands or cares.
As far as others know we're just "America's superweapons".

[timecapture]

But why do this? I just don't understand.

[boobwindow]

Sometimes there isn't anything to understand.
Some people are evil.

[timecapture]

... Like Crane.

[boobwindow]

Ugh, don't tell me you've had the displeasure of meeting that monster.

[timecapture]

I haven't met him yet.

[She thinks.]

[boobwindow]

That's good. He's bad news.

[timecapture]

You're telling me. How does a person GET to be that wrong? Well, I already know, but...

[boobwindow]

I don't know. It could be anything. It could be nothing.

[timecapture]

Poor guy. Not that it excuses him for being an asshole.

[boobwindow]

I don't feel sorry for someone like that, personally.

[ He hurt Kal. She'll never have an ounce of sympathy for a man like Crane. ]

[timecapture]

It's just that I used to know someone who was a shit person. But it turned out that he had a lot of problems nobody knew about. And then he was killed.

[boobwindow]

I don't think it justifies hurting people. Lots of people have terrible upbringings and they don't go on and do awful things to people.

[timecapture]

You're right, it doesn't. I just can't help it, I guess.

[boobwindow]

You're a good person, Max.

[timecapture]

I really don't think so, but thanks.

[boobwindow]

You're welcome. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[timecapture]

I'll try.
