Skylight
April 2021
Hong Kong, HK, China
Partial transcript, Hong Kong Marshal's office
Yamane: You can't keep Vos to yourself for an entire year!
Xiong: I can, and I will. The triplets haven't scared him off, everyone likes him /including auxiliary staff and the community, he's flexible enough to accommodate the Shatterbucks staff, he's developed a self-defense program that works for my less-abled employees, and Quartermaster Yeung hasn't broken him.
Arriola: You must get that girl checked out.
Xiong: Why do you assume I'm not using it to my advantage?
Arriola: Fine, Vos is yours, just keep him safe when your 'Dome collapses. /Again.
Yamane: I beg to differ! Stacker, what do you think?
Xiong: Don't exaggerate, it was scarcely a skylight—a skylight, I might add, that JTech wholeheartedly enjoyed. 
[a beat]
Pentecost: If he hasn't run away screaming yet, he's not going to. I would leave him be until the year's out.
Yamane: Very well. Vos better be on a plane the /moment the clock hits twelve.
Arriola: Are we in agreement?
Xiong: Yes.
[a beat] 
Pentecost: Yes.
Yamane: Yes.
