[Iroh does not look pleased, his brow is furrowed and he is not his usual happy and calm self. Today he is angry, and though not one to allow his anger to get the better of it, he cannot simply put it aside. His life has been greatly impacted, and this is the second time he has been affected by a bombing. He clears his throat, and speaks very clearly]

Brooke's has been blown up and destroyed. For those of you who work there, I am afraid there is still much damage to survey to give a realistic timeframe when and if a return to work can happen, I apologize to any hardship this may cause you.

[He takes a breath]

This is the second bombing I have been involved in, the first happened with the Newcomer apartments. This was an entirely unprovoked and hateful attack upon a place of business. It seems as though the restaurant was considered an insult or a threat to certain parties. We arrive in an unfamiliar area, follow new rules, and conduct business according to the traditions of our forced new settlement, and this is how it is rewarded, disgusting.

[He has a genuine look of disgust on his face]

I refuse to be intimidated by these actions, they are the marks of a cowardly group. This sort of violence is the action of those desperate and deranged. I will dedicate all resources and time I can, to help ensuring that those responsible will be brought to justice. Honour demands no less.

[He seems about to shut his NV off before he pauses for a moment]

A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle.

[Then the video clicks off]

[KOS-MOS is not pleased to hear about this. Not at all.]

I would like to assist. My systems are more advanced than anything the city can offer in investigative tools. If there is foul play at the core of this, I will be able to help find the proof.

[Iroh bows a bit more stiffly then usual]

I accept and would appreciate this offer. Please make sure to follow proper channels with the police, preferably newcomers involved within the force.

I will be certain to contact them.

[A pause and KOS-MOS's expression softens just the smallest amount.]

I promise that we will find who is responsible.

Thank you, it is most kind. I only hope this also means the guilty parties will also be brought to justice.

They will be.

[If she was still her Version One self, she'd seek them out on her own and kill them. But she's not so she can do this legally.]

I am not sure we have been formally introduced. My name is Iroh.

A pleasure, Iroh, despite the sad events that have lead to our meeting. I am KOS-MOS.

Likewise KOS-MOS. That is an unusual name for a woman, how did you happen by it, if I may be so bold?

I do not mind answering.

It is a recursive acronym meaning "Kosmos Obey Strategical Multiple Operation System".

[Iroh blinks a second at that]

So you are some sort of weapon?

That is correct. I am a Special Humanoid Anti-Gnosis Annihilation Weapon built by the intergalactic conglomerate, Vector Industries.

I see.

[He gathered very little of that]

So you are quite an advanced entity similar to The House?

Very much like the House, yes. The only discernible differences between us being that I was built to appear human.

Very interesting. Most of the technology of the island must seem very inferior to you then.

It is, to be honest but it is surprisingly easy to adjust to.

Yes the technology is more advanced then what I am accustomed to, but the basics already existed in my world.

I hope that it was not difficult for you to adjust.

Not overly. I had some assistance of some nice strangers who have since returned to their homelands.

I am glad to hear that.

Yes, it is always nice to see that there are people who are willing to help one another, it is very warming to the heart.

I almost thought that trait rare among those living in this time.

It can be difficult to find, but it is most certainly present.

It is a relief to hear that.
