[The recording turns on in the middle of Tavi’s sentence. His voice is calm, but there’s a hard edge to his words that belies the calm.] -- ‘s how I noticed. There’s still traces of it left.

Maybe I'm a stupid sonvuabitch for thinkin' I could get what I want. [ Desperation hangs heavy on Ben’s words, his tone growing increasingly strident as he speaks. ] It ain't right-- No, it ain't my place.

How did you do it, though? And why?

I never meant it for it to be this way. I just wanted what I thought most folks here wanted: a free ticket out. But nothing's free. Always gotta be some price, some goddamn consequence. 

Only God's got this right.

[ An intermission, as Ben Hawkins moves to snap on the communicator, to confess to the entire network, when he notices that the red light of his communicator is already signaling its recording mode. His next words are quieter under the microscope of public judgment. ]

I brought the damn thing down. The barrier.

[And just before the recording ends, Tavi’s voice again – unsurprised .] Can you undo it?

[ooc: White is Ben, Blue is Tavi! ]

I find it a bit hard to believe that one person could have been responsible for it... but if that's the truth then I won't dispute it.

If you were really the cause of it then you must know how the previous barriers worked, what it ran on.

[Tavi's watched silently as Ben made the announcement on the network, before he repeats his question.] Can you undo it?

[He's seen the harpies, he's seen this City and he's seen war. There's not enough of an army here to fight the harpies and make a run for it, and while he knows that people are here involuntarily, making a run for it seems crazy even to Tavi, which is saying a lot. Not with everyone in the City. So it seems the barrier is their best bet.]

I can try. Can't promise it'll work.

[ Ben's discomfort is measured in every inch of his frame. He stands guarded and watches Tavi with a weary gaze. His uniform equips him with an awful lot of pretense, and Ben counters that with every measure of defense he has: his attitude. ]
