Do not operate heavy machinery...

"Whoah, whoah! Chill out, dudes! I get it: hands off!"

While walking through the hanger, you look up to see Dido getting frog-marched out of a high security bay area that currently holds the Saber units, two security guards on each side gripping her shoulders and forearms. They roughly release her and walk off.

Dido stumbles, sets down the oil-can she was carrying, and dusts herself off. "Dammit. Why can't people take an honest bribe these days?"

Ask her what's going on?

After maintenance hours, when everyone's gone home for the night, you stumble across Dido lying on her back atop a set of boxes, taking puffs from...something burning inside a roll of paper.

She sighs, and then sits up, starring at the ground. "Dammit..." You hear her mutter. "This is what happens when you try and act like Mom..."

She spies you coming and hastily flicks the burning roll paper behind her. "Ah...Hey! Fancy seeing you here! How, uh, are you?""

"What in the blazes is going on here?"

"Um..." Dido rubs the back of her head. "...would you believe me if I said nothing?"

What was that thing? I must let you know I am well aware when you try to distract me from something.

It's sure the sign of the end of times, when guards can't be bribed anymore. What can adventurers do if guards can't be bribed? I wish someone would bribe me.

Fine, though kinda curious what you're up to.

[Ken invites himself over, and sits down.]

And what exactly it has to do with a mother you have never brought up before.

[... Oh dear.]
