Mister Braxiatel: it's not our usual night to meet, but I'm afraid I need you to check in. Over the network as soon as you get this, and in person as soon as is reasonable.

[A few minutes later he knocks, waits a beat for any objection, and strolls in. He's carrying the pack of cards as useful excuse to be visiting, and because what the hell, maybe they'll play a friendly game after.]

Jim Profit wants a telepath to reorder his brain for him and is threatening murder if he doesn't get what he wants. Your brother-the-elder doesn't know if Profit's aware you can do as much. But I might watch your back, if I were you.

[Not as conversationally as he would like:] I hope this hasn't... upset my brother.

Any Gallifreyan native games use cards? We could improvise a game.
