[Network/Video] Backdated to late April

[The warlord isn't seated on his throne chair but against a wall, or rather practically wedged in a corner as the adjoining faces can be seen just behind him. While his expression doesn't really betray anything, his body language suggests exhaustion, slumped as he is. When he speaks up, his tone sounds a little hollower than usual.]

...he...has escaped...

[With effort he draws himself up in a brief but failed attempt to sit straighter. That burning gaze of his turns towards some point off-screen before he lowers his head with something of a sigh.]

I was...unable to stop them.

[The Exo hesitates, recalling.]

He...he followed Beck's orders without question. ...I felt that something was off. He would not respond to me.

[thestaremaster]

[His jaw tightens, and he exhales slowly through his nose. That shouldn't be possible. Not here. He'd known something was off with Soldat, why hadn't he pushed??

He nods tersely.]

I'll find him.

[tyrants_son]

[He doesn't think it needs to be said, but...]

...be on your guard.

[thestaremaster]

I can take him.

[He offers a brief twitch of his lip to say he's impressed Felwinter could as well. Not many people have an encounter with the Winter Soldier and live to tell about it.]

You just worry about you.

[tyrants_son]

[He'd account most of that to being an Exo. Most of his attacks were not made for such close quarter combat otherwise.

There's hesitation before Felwinter nods. It's clear this Bucky knows something, at least, and if they share more than looks and a name, then the man must have an advantage.]

[thestaremaster]

...And try and keep anyone else from sticking their nose in if you can help it.

[Does he mean Peter? He totally means Peter. The kid will die if he goes head to head with the Winter Soldier.]

[tyrants_son]

I will do what I can...but at this time I can only warn them.
