There was that odd word again, "father." Why did they call him that? Silliness, of course he must have asked them to. They couldn't have come up with the term themselves. It was far too human a sentiment. What about an adopted sister? And no Kalamity? "So you've found her?" Confusion was spread through his voice like softened butter, "And she's not with you? How can that be?" It didn't occur to him immediately that they had failed in securing their target. "If that's the case, then who is that with you?" Sudden darkness crept into his words, "You'd better not be lying to me," and just as suddenly crept away. His creations couldn't possibly lie to him. The thought made him laugh hysterically into the microphone which lasted a good time until he just as quickly stopped and said in an even voice, "Come home. Now. At the very least, you've discovered something moderately interesting. Kalamity can't go anywhere you can't find her." She'd have to leave the planet for that. He chuckled at the idea. "I want to see your sister," he said, not leaving any hint from the context of the statement as to whether he meant Kalamity, or the one with them that Evalution had referred to as being adopted. Then, perhaps to be dramatic, or maybe just because he was rude, the line severed, and Axis and Eva were left to themselves.
