[The feed cuts in to show Azula sitting on her throne, clearly waiting for something; then two soldiers enter the room and bow, and one of them speaks]

Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have some grave news.

[Azula frowns]

Is it the Avatar?

... No, Fire Lord. It has to do with your lost allies, the soldiers Mai and Ty Lee.

[Azula freezes, and her face goes completely blank]

Go on.

We believe... we believe that we may have found their remains.

[video out]

[ooc: it's not really them; this is a plot for Setine to help get Brennan integrated 8)]

It doesn't matter if I knew them or not, if you provide me a picture I can easily match the remains to the picture.

A photograph?

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

If I hurry, I can misidentify the body. Normally, I would advice that you not to jump conclusions, but you already have.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

I need everything you know about the victims so that I can properly identify the markings on the bone.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

Can you have the remains delivered?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

Have everything delivered to the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington D.C for Dr. Temperance Brennan. Leave whatever clothes the bodies were wearing on them, soil, particulates - everything.

So now it wasn't magic community malice.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not if they're dead.

[oceanicbutterfly]

You wouldn't acknowledge any other possibility before.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Fine.

But I'm coming with them.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That's because there weren't any bodies before!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Oh, what do you care? You didn't even know them.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

You can accompany the remains, but you cannot be present in the lab while I am doing my examinations.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Where did you get a ridiculous idea like that?

[oceanicbutterfly]

So these just suddenly appeared?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why not? They're mine!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They're skeletons. They've been hidden for a while. Go away.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't want to talk to you.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

You are too irrational to be in my lab at the time of my examination. You will only be a distraction at best and there will be no progress.

These remains do not belong to you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I am not irrational.

[persequorverita.livejournal.com]

Your italics are more than enough indication that you are. I will contact you if I need anything.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You don't understand.
