/ Comshaw: Hello to you, too, Termagant. / [[Agita's young daughter Rishathra watches from behind some plants.]]
/ Comshaw: It's called a Fixit, Agita. God has been sending them out to spy on everyone. Except you, of course.
/ Comshaw: The Council, Nevus, Flap. / Comshaw: They control whoever's head they attach to, so whatever your feelings about Ogdoad, all this wasn't his idea...
/ Agita: Duly noted. / [[Comshaw looks at Ogdoad the Eyebolt, who sits looking stunned.]]
/ Agita: Is he going to recover? I granted him /immunity./

/ Ogdoad: -For God. I knew that. We didn't hide anything from each other. We /couldn't/ / Agita: You were willingly helping that creature?.
/ Ogdoad: I was /half/ of that "creature".
/ Ogdoad: And now what? You all are going to go up against God? / Ogdoad: HAH! HeWe saw a fraction of what's going on, and just from that, he's going to squash you like T-bugs!

/ Ogdoad the Eyebolt: Where are you taking me?
/ Agita: First off, Mr. Ogdoad, at no point did I say I was "going up against God". / Agita: I have of course made discreet inquiries. He should not take it personally, as I make discreet inquires about /everybody/. / Agita: I learned embarrassingly little. Before today.. your coming through my door.. I was not aware these "Fixits" existed. / Ogdoad: So you're /not/ going to kill me?
/ Agita, beckoning: I dispatched a /Tempered Immunity Chit/ to Records. /Do/ try to keep up, Mr. Ogdoad. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20111114.html |

/ Agita: So.. this Fixit.. Since he was a "he", I assume he had a name?
/ Ogdoad: What? Yes. Endix. / [[Agita reaches for small bin holding an umbrella, a staff with an eye on it, and a sword.]]
/ Agita: And God knew this "meshing" could occur before Endix was.. assigned to you?
/ Ogdoad: We were never.. yeah. He did. / [[Agita has taken the umbrella.]]
/ Agita: Which means he, Endix, was deliberately kept uninformed about.. everything possible?
/ Ogdoad: We thought.. yes. How did you- / [[Agita's daughter Rishathra watches all of this from a distance.]]
/ Agita: Because that's what I would have done.
/ Agita: And so /perhaps/ your confusion is forgivable. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20111115.html |
| The Mansion of E - Wednesday , November 16 , 2011 | [[Agita leads Ogdoad the Eyebolt and Termagant the Gnoll through her home. Agita has her umbrella. Termagant carries the dead Fixit Endix on her spear.]]

/ Agita: I agree with God, at least in that The Truth is precious and must be dispensed in carefully controlled doses.
/ Agita: I /strongly/ suspect Comshaw shares our philosophy. / [[They approach a female Motihaul doing the Basement-equivalent of paperwork at a desk. She has a Fixit on her head.]]

/ Agita: So. Getting in before you follow the example of your compatriot here and kill yourself..
/ Agita: You are a "Fixit". You were sent here, by God, to spy on me.
/ Agita: As we speak Comshaw is, as is his wont, rampaging about, exposing you to all and sundry. It is the end of an era. / [[A close-up of Arnix.]]
/ Agita: So again. Do you want to die for God, or go on living for God, and

/ Arnix: ...Arnix.
/ Agita: For now, I offer you access to an aurilnode, with only one condition. / [[Agita gestures at Ogdoad, who is listening. Termagant the Gnoll has a dead Fixit on her spear.]]
/ Arnix: Still listening.
/ Agita: You ride on Ogdoad here. You /remain/ with Ogdoad. He was Endix's.. half, is not my employee, and knows the routine. / Agita: Assuming of course, /you/ agree, Ogdoad? A new career? A second chance?
/ Ogdoad: . . . Yeah. OK. / [[Arnix rises to his suckered feet.]]
/ Arnix: Agreed.
