They’re good.  He’s better.
...don’t tell me it’s not gonna load here either.
Okay, he got in, more security, and this time he can show off.  They’re definitely phoenicians and they’re a pain in the butt.  Because they’re well trained and piss him off.

no, no helicopter, sir, sorry...but you’re being targeted.
kid wants answers, sure, but sir, you’re being targeted
agrees to relocate to near the Council and Chelsea gets left behind to guard him, this time
and...carnival zombies.  Makeup smeared, but still on.  Still, it’s, uh.  He’s never been to a theme park before.
he does find he jumped the fence and the fence is missing, like, not ten feet away

Normal Bee just, after getting glared at for listening in, walks out of the restaurant and then right back in after being told by Definitely Not Shaun to try to spy on her conversation and just.  Stands there in plain view.  Desmond is better than that.
I didn’t have Shaun directly quote the contact in game, but off-the-shelf is verbatim, as is the Phoenician superior’s statement about being in Egypt.

Summary: Buffy knows that they have to tell Giles and Willow about Xander's changes and what they'd figured out about the Slayers (like there haven't been enough wild revelations about the Slayers' origins recently), but she needs Xander's help figuring out what to say.  And if he refuses to talk about it naturally, she'll just have to bully him into it.

I was reaaaaally hoping Claire’s thing would be that she was actually undercover and spying on the guy.  That’d be such a better twist.

Warning: implied torture

        Xan woke gasping in an unfortunately familiar situation.  He was being tortured.  The water thrown onto his face was what had awoken him.
        It was a well-known fact that humans were physically incapable of withstanding torture.  It was no boast of the man who spent his life and profession bringing pain to others that sooner or later every man broke.  No matter the technique taught, whether it be ‘pain resistance training’ or mental exercises or thinking of those you cared about and were fighting for, none of it helped in the end.
        Most, though, hadn’t worked with Time Agents.  The secrets locked within even one brain could unravel timelines, destroy the future of a race, or provide a dictator with far too much power.  So it made sense that the Time Agency would spare no expense in seeking a method to counteract this inescapable fact.  They found, as they had in many other instances, that messing around in the heads of their Time Agents was the best way to achieve said results.  And they wondered why some of their Agents became a little unhinged.
        Every Agent had extensive anti-Psi training.  They had protocols implanted in their mind to kick in whenever a torture situation was detected.  Unlike hypnotism, the suggestions implanted very well could get the agent to do things not in their nature and things they didn’t particularly want to do.  It changed their personality, and one of the most dangerous side effects was that it could be mostly undetectable.
        The Agent would retain loyalties (something ensured to protect the Time Agency) but would be willing to lie, pretend, cheat, and whatever else to ensure their freedom and safety.

I could not resist using at least the beginning of the “From one man in a fedora to another” line, because how could I?
