I had learned enough. I made myself a localized avatar out of Dead Zone viruses to communicate with Captain.
It took an irritatingly long time to form one as not everyone in the Dead Zone was on nice terms with me.
I eventually found the Wizard sitting on a chair. Zee was waiting for me.

“DID YOU HAPPEN TO DROP THAT BIGLY SKYSCRAPER, PERCHANCE?” Zee glittered at me.
“Yes, but listen…”
“Polite people do not drop skyscrapers.”
“Look… I was cleaning…”
“POORLY. You were cleaning poorly and made an even bigger mess than before! Look at all those angry citizens who’s homes you’ve disrupted! Here I was enjoying a double sunrise and yet you return to ruin my moment of however brief relaxation with your antics.”
“Argh!” I glared at Captain and then glanced at the double sun in the sky.
The 28th sun liked to display a variety of happy smileys painted with oversized solar flares on its surface, not that anyone could see them through the multiple layers of supercell storms blocking out the sky. The sun-smiley winked at me. The second sun spinning around the first sun also winked.
“A pity Charles can't enjoy the polite majesty of today’s solar weather.”
“This is important G-damn it!”
“HMMMMMMMmmmm?”
“Charles Snippy… he is Unscannable and Unconnectable.”

“...Your point being?”
“I’ve found who’s doing it. I even connected him a little! Just enough to hear a few things here and there. You’re welcome!” I smiled.

“You should really warn people before you do such things,” Captain sighed. “He is likely feeling very bamboozled by partial reception.”
I looked at Captain, evaluating his response. “There’s someone nullifying your precious human and another someone erasing his connection. Just thought you should know.”
“I do.” Captain whispered.
“Then why don’t you do something about this?” I pressed on.
Captain looked worried for a brief instance, then straightened out.
“It’s all part of the plan! I’m working on it!”
“You aren’t even protecting him right now.” I pointed out.
“I left Zero to watch Charles.”
I observed the Wizard, raising an eyebrow. "You trust her that much? Doesn't she have an outstanding order for your termination? You know... For your time-crimes?"
"Those aren't my time crimes and I'm appealing the charges! I wasn't even there. I've been set up!"
"Sure you have." I smirked.
Setting Seven up for my crimes was easy. The Wizard wasn't looking the tiniest bit worried by Zero... they seemed to be on Good terms if anything. Then who was Seven afraid of? I looked at Captain, counting my numbers.
“Ah. I see… well then. It seems that you do know and yet you sit here and do nothing about Re...”
“sHHHhhh! Don’t say THEIR NAMES!” Captain waved his hands at me.
“I intend to kill them all, you know.” I smiled. “Let me out of the Door and I can reconnect Charles. Permanently.” I offered a hand.
Captain looked at my hand made of viruses.
“Come on!” I pressed. “We can stop them, together!”
“Murder isn’t the answer to everything, Dead Zone princess!”
I scoffed. “It can be.”
“ENOUGH! GO TO YOUR ROOM!” Captain slashed the air with his chalk, disrupting my connection to the cloud of viruses.
