What the f*ck?
'Need'?
That's it?! That was what he had worked so hard for??!!
Unconsciously channeling a specific character from a very famous movie back on Earth, Daneel opened and closed the scroll twice, and even thrice, but that word didn't undergo any sort of transformation.
Still desperate, he even asked the system to scan it and see if there was something he was missing, but the only answer he got was that this was just a simple scroll of parchment whose defensive formations had been removed for him to access.
That was it.
The Chief's laughter was still echoing around the room, and at this moment, if Daneel was asked whom he hated most in the Big Four, then the answer was something he would not hesitate to give.
Not wanting to give the man the satisfaction of knowing that he had pissed him off even more, Daneel took a deep breath and calmed himself down before turning around and saying, "Very funny. Now, where's the real scroll?"
