This is Nate, you know what to do. I'll...probably get back to you.

[These aren't unreasonable theories, but they are theories either way. Nate has worked with less to find more. It's unfair to be critical of something like this, after all, when Nate knows a synthetic person in Hadriel.

He sucks his lower lip between his teeth, considering.]

...so what do you want to do?

I want to find it, and get a better idea of the situation. Right now, we have no reason to believe it can contact the other Null, so we should be safe to take some time and permanently disable its communications while figuring out more about whether it's telling the truth or not.

[Basically, he doesn't want to kill it as a first option, but he still plans to be very cautious.]

Okay.

[He's still wary, and for good reason. Nate has laser burns left over from Name's former buddies, but if he can rely on one thing it's that Lance has a good head on his shoulders. He wouldn't propose something like this if he didn't believe that the likelihood of honesty was high.

Nate chews his lip for a long moment, processing the direction in which he thinks this is going.]

Where do we start?

[The agreement, even if--or, rather, especially because--he can tell Nate seems to be hesitant, means a lot; he appreciates the trust being put in him, even if it's a little terrifying. He's still not completely sure this won't all end up being a huge mistake.

But he believes this is the right thing to do, both logically and morally, and he takes a deep breath.]

We know that the Null is probably trapped under some rubble somewhere in the city, and Nick thinks it may be near to the god temples it seem to be feeling the emotions of most strongly. It's just a guess, but it's as good a reason as any to start looking in a particular place.
