[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)]

I can't give it all at once; there's a lot to tell, and it makes more sense to say it during the investigation.

Then I will present my findings to you and you can draw a conclusion from the facts. However, considering your ability in deductive reasoning, I suggest a third party evaluation.

I have excellent deductive reasoning.

I believe that you are stalling in sending me the remains.

I'm not sending you anything unless I come.

We are at an impasse. Though, logically you should compromise.

Compromise how?

I have stated my stipulations. Currently, I have over a hundred remains that I need to identify and by taking on your remains I have an opportunity cost of making a historical identification.

So you don't want compromise, you just want me to give in.

I stated for you to compromise, not the other way around. If you care about these people, you will let me identify them.

... I never said I cared about them.

I have nothing to compromise with. I refuse to leave them and you refuse to allow me not to. Therefore, we are, as you say, at an impasse. I'll have my own people do the identifying if you refuse.

Good luck.

I don't believe in luck.

I estimate that it would take your team roughly one to two months to properly investigate the remains. I also assume it will take them two hours to incorrectly identify the remains.

They won't do it incorrectly!

They are untrained in osteology and they could identify height by a complete set of remains at best.

You don't know what they're trained in.

If you want to identify them so badly, let me come and you can.

There is always an opportunity cost in every decision, it is up to you who you want to identify them.

You are free to contact me if you decide you want a professional to identify your remains.

They're professionals.
