 * Saint: Wingman, bring in the prisoner.
 * Wingman: Sure thing, Saint. [door opens, door closes, footsteps] Oracle, come in. This is Wingman. I need some direction, like now.
 * Oracle: [yawn] Alright, fine... Just be quick. I'm about to pass out. I was up all night helping Tim and Steph look for Arnold Wesker, the dummy skipped parole.
 * Wingman: He didn't skip parole. We got him. He's here in the clubhouse... jean-Paul is ordering that he stand trial in a court of "S.O.B. Law".
 * Oracle: Oh, you've got to be kidding me... That "Saint" of yours is going to beat him to near-death or worse with a baseball bat and call that justice. I will see if I can round up a posse to go rescue Arnold Wesker. Any chance you can stall this trial?
 * Wingman: I'll see what I can do. Just be quick. [comms set to mute by Asset: Batwing]
 * Flamebird: Hey, Foxy... You're going the wrong way. the trial's in the garage.
 * Wingman: I'm collecting the prisoner.
 * Flamebird: Oh, I'll tag-along, if you don't mind.
 * Wingman: Who am I to object to the "Bat-Girl"? He's right in here. [keys jingle, lock disengages,door opens] Wesker, come with us.
 * Arnold Wesker: Please, d-do-don't do this. I've be-been beh-having good. You don't need to do this! Puh-lease! Look at my hands! They're free! Just like my mind! My thoughts are my-
 * Flamebird: Stop being a dummy. Be a man.
 * Oracle: [Admin override: Unmutting Asset: Batwing's comms signal] Luke, I think i have an idea. Slip the comms set under Wesker's collar.
 * Wingman: Yeah, listen to the woman. [feedback, handling of comms device]
 * Oracle: I'm going to assume you did it. Okay... here goes. [throat clears, voice modulator activated, Admin override: comms set to "Broadcast: Level Three"] Hey, Dum-Dum! Don't listen to them. You're better than this. Take care of them and come get me. I'm waiting at you at a warehouse at Athena and Renome.
 * Flamebird: Did you hear something, Foxy?
 * Arnold Wesker: He's back. He hasn't abandoned me. [laughter] I'm sorry for this, but it's what Mr. Scarface wants! [scuffle, whack, whack, rapid footsteps, door opens, fire alarm]
 * Flamebird: Oh [expletive], He's escaped! Go after him, Foxy! I'll round up some boys on bikes. [rapid footsteps]
 * Wingman: [feedback, handling on comms device] Wow, he's got a solid left hook for an old man. barely got my comms off him in the scuffle. Was that your plan, Oracle? Make a psychotic criminal relapse into his schizophrenia and become violent once again? I mean, it's a plan... Not sure it's a good idea. [rapid footsteps, door opens]
 * Oracle: Better than leaving his brains dashed across Sons' clubhouse garage floor. I'll have Tim and Steph waiting at the address I gave him... and Cass is going to round up Dr. Westerman and bring him to meet them there, see if we can't undo some of the damage we did to him. Just make sure the Sons don't catch him first.
