"Sebastian, I uttered no attack nor did I ask for an apology. I asked a perfectly reasonable question as to why you are here, in my house, when it seems you really don't want to be. You are the one who chose to respond in a hostile manner.

The area around the lenses in her eyes glows a sickly green and the room grows darker. For a brief instant it seems as though the room is filled with a hundred ghostly faces, whispering madness all at once. Then everything returns to normal. "There are things that for all your power you cannot fight, Kirsch. Do not pick fights with them. They might decide to finish it."

If Fox does not immediately follow Sebastian out, he will hear many disembodied voices speaking at once. "Take your hour. You will not escape us, McCullin. And neither will they."
Fox catches up with seb "what was that all about?...i understand you might have some sort of a grudge agensed her but you dont have to act out agensed potentail future clients."
