"Nail"
So. The rabbit. Three sightings across three warzones, and every single time he's gone before anyone can pin him down. I say we finally end that streak.
PILOT
You've been keeping a file on him.
"Nail"
I keep a file on everyone who's stolen from me and gotten away with it. His is the thickest one I own. Let's go make it shorter.

"Nail"
Nothing. No frame, no wreckage, no trail. He knew we were coming before we did.
PILOT
Or he wanted us to know he knew. That's not evasion, that's a message.
"Nail"
'Catch me if you can,' scrawled in dust by a guy who thinks that's charming. It is, slightly. Don't tell him I said that.

"Nail"
new hunt, new chat. encryption is fresh as of this morning. nobody gets in this channel but us.
Kuro
Nice encryption.
"Nail"
oh you have GOT to be kidding me
Kuro
Took me most of a minute. You should be proud, that is a personal record for someone else's comms. See you out there.
PILOT
He wants us to chase him. You know that, right? This whole hunt is an invitation with extra steps.
"Nail"
of course it is. we are still going. that is the embarrassing part.

"Nail"
trail keeps splitting. every fork has fresh tracks down BOTH sides. how is he doing both sides
PILOT
He walked one, then walked the other one backwards. Look at the heel pressure.
"Nail"
...I have hunted people for twenty years and I have never once thought to do that. I hate how much I am learning today.

Kuro
Cold. Colder. Warmer. There - the ridge. You were standing on my camp ten minutes ago.
"Nail"
STOP BEING IN THIS CHANNEL
Kuro
Stop leaving the door open, then. Consider it a free security audit.
