[This is Asami. This is Asami wrapped up like an enchilada in a thick, dark red blanket while she faces the screen. It's her first time with a recording like this—the technology is beyond even the movers Varrick produced—so she proceeds self-consciously.

That isn't to say she wasn't eager to try it out. The tape on the side of her console is indication of that, but it's out of sight of the viewer.]

Well, here I am. I've had some time to think about what I wanted to say, but to be honest I don't even know where to begin.

But we're all comrades here, right? So my name's Asami, and I'm a... [businesswoman? What kind of sales approach is that? She straightens her back.] I'm the chief executive officer of my family's company at home in Republic City. We're known for our automobiles and weaponry, and I have experience with each of our products. Not that I see myself getting comfortable here, but if I can make myself useful in a company running somewhere along those lines, then I think that would be a good place to start.

[She visibly deflates after the spiel, mustering a small smile.] So I guess I'll see you guys around! Go ahead and introduce yourselves if you have time. I think I could use some faces to call familiar.

[She's spent the bulk of the week on the street rather than in her own apartment. There's more to be done out there than in here, after all, especially considering recent events. If Evandau wants to meet with her, she needs to know the city better than ever.

When she finally turns on the network and sees a familiar face, it takes her a moment to respond.]

...Asami. [Her surprise shows clear on her face, for a moment, before her expression settles again.] When did you get here?

[Korra made Asami aware of Lin's presence here, but she felt as if she might be a bother to Lin if she contacted her without a clear reason. Hey, I'm Asami, remember me? She likes Lin quite a bit, respects her even more, but she also likes to give the Chief her space.

So, it's a pleasant surprise when Lin gets in touch with her. Asami thinks she hears her console ringing with a notice in the other room, and it takes her a minute to get there. She leans over the chair instead of sitting in it, tucking her hair behind her ear.]

Chief Beifong, hey! I was wondering when I'd be able to see you. I got here just a couple days ago.

[A nod--short, but not unfriendly. While she's in no particular hurry to get all buddy-buddy with Team Avatar, she likes Asami well enough, and there's something to be said for a familiar face in a place like this.]

I'm guessing Korra and Mako have given you the rundown already? Figured I'd welcome you to the turtle as well.

I appreciate the welcome. Korra and Mako informed me and Bolin on a few things, but I'm sure there's still a lot to learn. What've you been up to?

[She pulls out her chair and takes a seat to get more comfortable.]

Trying to install some semblance of law and order. Granted, the foreigners mostly police themselves. Or they did. You've heard about the assassination?

[But--wait.]

Bolin's here, too? I hadn't seen him on the network.

A little bit. I'd imagine you're keeping busy after something like that.

[She rests her elbows on the desk, and a corner of her lips quirks at the mention of Bolin.] Yup, in the flesh! He wasn't on the network, but I'm sure you can reach his console if you'd like.

[A trace of annoyance.] I'd be busier if the Emperor would actually let us get a look at the crime scene.

[She waves her hand.] No need for that. But it's a strange coincidence that we're all here. All we need now is to keep an eye out for Tenzin.

[Asami nods. Not that she's wishing this situation on Tenzin, but she wouldn't mind trading, idk, Amon for him. Tarrlok, by the sounds of things, she's still unsure about.]

Yeah, what is the deal behind the assassination? Most of the people I've talked to don't seem all that worried about it, at least not now.

[A noncommittal twist of the lips.]

It was a stupid move, if what they're saying about her power is true, but she wasn't all that well-liked. Hard for people to mourn when someone they've been seeing as a kidnapper for months is killed.

Not a lot of people knew her well. Korra did, from the sound of it. You might get a different perspective out of her.

That makes a lot of sense. So what, did someone think they'd be able to go home with her out of the picture?

Hard to say without the culprit in custody, but I doubt it. She was the one who brought us all here in the first place. Someone following that line of logic might've threatened her to get her to send them home. But killed her? Unless they were only trying to cover their tracks, it doesn't make sense. And if what everyone's been saying about our enemy is true, her death only gives it an advantage.
