A message? It sounded like a bad joke. "Yeah. Tell him to go take a long walk off a short pier," Rita offered, rolling her eyes. There wasn't much to be said. Any requests would surely be dismissed, and any threats or pleas would go ignored. It was best not to give Landel the impression that Rita was interested in playing along with his games.

In any case, IRIS had confirmed that Landel had set up this little meeting. Why? Rita found it hard to believe that he'd suddenly decided to get generous with dispensing information.

... But that didn't mean she wouldn't take advantage of it as much as possible. "More importantly, what else is up here?" If Rita understood correctly, then they had reached the third floor. There had been a number of rumors floating around, suggesting what could be found on the least-accessible floor of the building... Perhaps IRIS would be able to shed some light on which of those were true.
