[Nexus] Harnel's Plots

[Lord Magtok]

Eric's Rebirth

"I'll take my chances with just you, for now. I'm not stupid."

Magtok tries to seize the faulty MagClone's shoulder, to squeeze it with one chrome fist and fight the urge to panic or scream. NFB is probably some sort of vile, tentacled fish-monster underneath his skin, but at least it's something he can pretend to understand, something concrete and real he can tether to, without feeling weak or pathetic or disgusting.

"I'm here to have Eric fixed."

Magtok takes great care to say he doesn't want Eric brought back to life. He's not sure if little details like that make any sort of a difference, but he has absolutely no intention of making it sound like returning Eric to life is something he'd be willing to make a personal sacrifice for. Eric is certainly no friend of Maggy's, after all. This is all just part of a plot to make Julie's life a teensy bit harder.
