"This is stupid," said Beta. "We've been at this for three months and we still haven't found her."
"Medea doesn't care how long it takes," Alpha replied.
"That's okay, neither do I," Delta said mischeviously.
"That's because you've been having fun manipulating people."
"Hell yes."
"People who have nothing to do with our mission."
"How do I know if they've seen a wereswan around if I don't poke around inside their heads?"
"It's not the poking around I have a problem with."
"Whatever guys," cut in Quinten. "Look, I say it's about time we split up. It could be that Gamma's heard about a group of four looking for her. We'll be harder for her to track if we split up. Medea agrees."
"Excellent," said Delta.
"You scare me when you do that," Beta muttered.
