The condescending tone in Simon’s voice is like nails on a chalk board for Alex just like it always has been. That’s something else that Strand and Simon had in common even if they don’t admit what it is. Letting out a small huff, because she doesn’t know about the fact that someone might deem her important enough to break into her house and record her sleeping. Nor is she aware that she’s being watched and has been for a while. All of that seems like a massive amount of paranoia for Alex and she’s got enough of it already even before all of that is added. Some of Alex’s impatiently huffed tone leaks into her voice when she speaks because while Simon thinks it isn’t important she definitely does. “Yes, Simon, I am worried about the countdown. I’ve had a lot of time to think about things while I’m here and some of the distance has allowed me to see things more clearly.” Because she was sleeping and Alex didn’t have enough space in her brain back home to consider why things were so bad. “Someone was trying to push my buttons and make me sound and feel even more crazy than I already do. Nic and Strand would think the countdown is bullshit but I didn’t. It was targeting me and I’m not even sure entirely why. I mean probably to discredit me and the show or whatever but it would help me to know that I’m dealing with one person running that rather than it being someone else I don’t know yet. And it goes along with the question of whether or not Warren is the advocate.” While Alex doesn’t think it was Simon because he would have been more direct, there is the fact that someone could have bilocated into the studio to see when it happened—when Alex had played it. Honestly that’s what she thinks is the most likely possibility.
Alex really doesn’t want to think that it could be Amalia using Nic’s password and access to find out when exactly that had been.
But onto Warren being both the advocate and adversary. “If Thomas Warren is both the advocate and the adversary then it means that he and Davea have both ties to the Cult of Tiamat and The Order of the Cenophus.” Alex pauses, her expression changing to the one that always happens when she has a revelation and her voice is softer and slower on the cusp of both insecurity and being certain. “It’s all one massive thing that I’ve been looking at as multiple ones.”
