[Sylar turns on the console. Before the screen is a man who looks nothing like Sylar himself. Instead, he sits in a full suit with horn-rimmed glasses adorning his very Jack Coleman-like appearance. When he addresses the camera, it's confident, professional, and direct.]

My name is Noah Bennet. I'm an Agent in a very specialized division of Homeland Security within the United States Government.

If anyone here knows anything about.. potentially extraordinary individuals, or works with the U.S. government, I'd like to speak to you.

Thank you.

[ WTF is it with creepy people on the network lately? ]

Teacups, huh?

[ Takes another bite of sandwich, swivels a bit (while still keeping her heels kicked up), and makes a good show of thinking about that as she chews. ]

You're going to have to enlighten me on that comparison, [ takes a bite of sandwich and speaks with her mouth full ] Agent Bennet.

[He doesn't really mind what someone like Danko would consider disrespect. Mostly because he doubts Noah would, but also because Sylar is so far ahead in his own plan that he a little challenge is only more amusing.]

All I'm saying is that I don't think it would benefit the public to be made aware of every threat against them. Especially when that threat is more than most people would believe possible.

[ Thinks for a few more moments, gives a sort of "makes sense" face and shrugs. ]

Yeah, I get that. But you know, flying is sort of par for the course here so I think you'll find people pretty well equipped to deal with that sort of stuff. We're on a giant turtle after all.

[Spoilers, gawd.]

A turtle. [He sounds more skeptical than he actually is. Then, his voice elevates ever-so-slightly with genuine curiosity.]

You mean the public here knows about people with abilities? Our division helped to document their powers, cure the illnesses that restricted them, and to arrest the more dangerous criminals among them.

[ Daaang he just got bingo on the creepy bad government agent card. Dick, arrogant, (free spot), controlling, and ~doing questionable things for the better of people~. Another few bites of sandwich before she bothers to reply. ]

Yep, turtle. Like I said, you get used to weird pretty fast here. But if you're curious about documenting powers you should go talk to this guy named Khan, he's into that too.

I have no interest in that here. This is outside my jurisdiction.

It's obvious that they exist. Are any of them considered major threats?

Ooooh is that how it works? Good to know. [ So much sincere nodding going on, it's unbelievable. ]

Major threats... Well, I haven't seen anything of the sort, but who knows, your attitude might dredge them up, so keep your eyes open.

[ By the end of that sentence her friendliness drops a few notches and she gives him a sort of "ball is in your court, bro" look. ]

What part of my attitude, exactly, is it that you find so concerning?

[dunhaming]

[ She makes a sort of "huh?" face and then seems to get what he means and gives a little "oh" and shakes her head. ]

No, no, I don't find your attitude concerning, just that some people like to play nice.

[ And he is definitely playing condescending asshole right now as far as she's concerned. ]

I've found "nice" with people who don't care to be primarily a waste of time.
