"I know, and I apologize." It was still embarrassing to find that small thrill not only in being needed, but to be a resource that others recognized. Some things you just never quite grow out of. But it was countered with the knowledge that she was co-opting those same resources for what were probably selfish reasons, something more out of sentiment than pragmatism. With his signal so erratic, could they really be sure that he'd be in any state to help them?

"I'm afraid there's no other way to do this. We don't know anyone else who can find him that he would already be familiar with."

"No need for apologies. We always figure something out, and hopefully it won't take long." A shrug, the usual resigned one that means 'what can we do?' There's rarely all that much choice involved in how they have to approach any given situation. The variables are set and fixed by their opponents, pushing them into a constant state of reaction. Once they fixed that, she was fairly certain, they'd be able to make a much more significant advance.

"I get it. It's got to get done."

And that was partly why people like Jack Bauer and Soldier Blue were important. They had the power and the resolve they needed to give them the edge to move forward. They've enough people already keeping their defenses in order, now it was time to raise an army.

"And hopefully, once it is, we'll be all the better for it."

Any new resources on their side would be a huge advantage. Anything that could shift the board enough, and Soldier Blue could be that. From what she remembered of how his powers worked it would be a delicate business to make him that advantage they needed, but it was possible. That was all that mattered.

"We'll make it work for us. Is there anything you'll need before you go?"

[glowsferatu]

It was the delicacy that she was most concerned over. That's why she would have to take so much time, and even then there were no promises.

She touched the cross around her neck, looking down somberly. "If you would, just keep me in your prayers."

[motherofnemesis]

A glance to the cross, and then she nodded. She didn't pray, herself. Didn't particularly believe in anything at all, when it came down to it, but she knew that it brought others comfort.

"Sure. Of course. You'll do a good job, I'm sure."

Sometimes you lose everything and find God, even when none of it makes sense and you aren't sure how real it's supposed to be. It was part of her cover that began to bleed in, and she wasn't sure how to shut off, or if she wanted to.

She rose from the table and began straightening her papers. "Hopefully, I'll won't disappoint your confidence. In the meantime, I'll see your supplies are delivered without issue, whether I'm here or not. You'll receive the times and locations within a day or two."
