 * Greta Hayes: [book slapping shut, dry chuckle] Way too much studying, girly. You need a nap... or a life.[giggle]
 * Heretic: [door opens, footsteps, lightbulbs flickering, lightbulbs humming] Dr. Palmer?
 * Greta Hayes: [stifled scream] Who are y-?
 * Heretic: Shh. [footsteps] I'm not here to hurt you... Don't be afraid.
 * Greta Hayes: I'm not afraid.
 * Heretic: Most people are.
 * Greta Hayes: I'm not most people. Dr. Palmer is, uh, well he's not here right now.
 * Heretic: [scoff] So be it. [footsteps]
 * Greta Hayes: Wait. Joseph!
 * Heretic: Do I know you? [footsteps] How do you know my name?
 * Greta Hayes: You're Joseph Kane. you're a member of the Outsiders... Maybe I can help you. I want to help you.
 * Heretic: If I were you, I'd be very careful with what you say next. I am having a lucid moment right now, so you would not know it to look at me, but... I am dangerous! I am a slave to this armor I wear. It wracks my mind, my body, and even my soul. Magic has failed to find a way to free me of this curse, so now I turn to science... but I am afraid I may have missed my window without Palmer.
 * Greta Hayes: I am one of his students... Maybe I can help you? Are you saying you cannot take it off?
 * Heretic: No, I can. [belts releasing, metallic clatter] It is just armor in that regard, but there is an unseen property at work. An other-wordly calling that beckons me to return my flesh to it... One I cannot deny. [pained growl, shout] Even now... It demands chaos, blood-letting, and pain. I could snap at any-
 * Greta Hayes: [scoff, chuckle] Yeah, yeah. That's nice, pal. You talk tough and all, but tone it down, okay? Your hand... May I see it? Thank you... Interesting, this does not look magical at all... Well, not entirely.
 * Heretic: Of course it's magical! This is the Suit of Sorrows, a relic of the League of Assassins, fashioned by the hand of the great- [scoff] What would you know of magic anyway?
 * Greta Hayes: [metalic clatter] I cannot be certain without some metallurgical analysis, but my best guess is that's Nth-
 * Heretic: Shh... You hear? [metallic clatter, belts clinching] Apologies, doctor. I will find you later but for now, I must go! [rapid footsteps, door closes, distant shout, distant sword clashing, distant shout, distant window shattering]
 * Greta Hayes: An assassin bound to the whims of cursed armor on the loose... in my city? [sigh, beep] Hey, Ryan? We got trouble. I need you and Doris to track my signal. I'm following it. TTFN. I'm going misty. [misty hiss]
