PHONE CALL. WHO: Svetlana Duff [FATALE] and Darcy Thomas [BINARY]. WHAT: Svetlana calls Darcy from London with the results of her meeting with MI6 superiors. WHEN: Forward-dated. February 4, 2010. WHERE: London to Neopolis. STATUS: In progress!
Darcy is '010' on Svetlana's speed dial, just for giggles; she keys the numbers in, then waits for her phone to connect her to one of her oldest friends. After a few rings, the call picks up. The atmosphere around her is overcast, but it doesn't put a damper on the brightness of her tone: "Darcy, darling!" she chirps into the phone, sounding much more enthusiastic than she has in a while. "Guess who's just got out of a meeting with the brass?"
