[ Locked to Erik Lensherr ]

I don't suppose I have a right to ask for this, given how I've treated you since we've both awakened.

[ Locked to Shepard ]

[ Telepathic broadcast / significantly later ]

[ Early afternoon on Thursday, particularly psychically susceptible people might suddenly feel an agonizing, splitting pain down the center of their skull. Psychic overload, if any of them have experienced it before, drowning in a stream of information too much for one person to handle.

The contact cuts off as abruptly as it was made. ]

/And I'm-/ [A very complicated version of nobody comes across. A concept, made up of different languages and philosophies. He means nothing. But he's part of something.] /-but I've become what I needed to be.

Can you help me find an infiltrator if I show you what they look like?/

[telepathy]

[radars]

/Yes. Better if you tell me what they think like./

[ Interesting. Untapped depths in this man, Charles thinks. The way he views the world. ]
