[the scene opens with someone who hasn't been seen on the community in quite a while-- Ozai, only here he's crouched low to the ground in a deferential pose]

My daughter. The community brought me back from the dead for a reason, and I believe that it was to beg your forgiveness. A former leader has no right to attempt to assassinate the successor that he chose himself. You are the rightful Fire Lord, and always will be until you have your own heir. Please accept my apologies and show me mercy for my crimes.

[now you can see that Azula's standing above him, a hard look on her face]

Why should I? You're not anything to me anymore. I have a new family now-- remember, the ones that you threatened?

I don't care about your apologies or desire for my forgiveness. Maybe you've changed your tune, but I've changed mine as well. I'm not looking for your approval anymore. Even when I return to claim my throne, it won't be for you-- it'll be for the glory of the Fire Nation alone. And until then, I'll be working to help my family. My real family.

[Ozai's eyes narrow]

Your pretend family, yes. The ones that you allow to love you and that you love in return.

They make you weak.

[and Azula just raises an eyebrow]

Well, if you think I'm weak, then you won't be expecting this.

[and she shoots a bolt of lightning straight into his heart]

Agent Fire Lord. I trust all is well?

... Yes. There's nothing to worry about.

Good. That man is your father, is he not?

He was.

I see. I trust you've seen this virus before? What is it?

I've never seen one exactly like it, but it seems to be what we're...

... Imagining.

Peculiar choice. I suppose that shouldn't be too shocking. It is fond of violating our personal space as it stands.

No kidding. I'm sick of it.

You do have the most experience with it unfortunately.

Lately it seems like we've had nothing but viruses like this.

Perhaps that woman, Doctor Fostor? can shed some light on this.

Do you think she's learned that much about them?

I believe she's spent more time pondering the subject than any of us if her predictions are any indication.

... Hm.

I suppose it's possible, then.

I'll have to contact her the next time she posts. A call out of nowhere may be a little too bold.

If she's doing research, she's probably used to it.

Even so I rather be careful about it. You've been here long enough to know it's always best to be cautious with academic types.

[Translation: you've seen the Professor.]

I suppose.
