Cain jumped when Phaser started ranting about not being a robot. Alright, apparently the guy was a guy in fact and not an AI. He was about to try to placate Phaser when the screen flickered. When the images resolved themselves, the TV appeared to be in split screen. It took a moment for the magician to realize that he was watching some sort of surgery from two different perspectives: the patient's and the doctor's. Cain furrowed his brow as he studied the videos. It looked like the doctors were inserting some sort of brain implant into... Cain felt sick as he realized the subject - Phaser most likely - was a child. Probably only five or six years old. That would explain why the guy was so touchy about being called inhuman.
Cain opened his mouth to protest his apparent betrayal, but it didn't seem like phaser was talking to him, especially not when he went on to politely say that he should leave. The redhead noticed that the guy didn't actually go, so he figured it was alright to keep talking. Cain fell to his knees in front of the TV when the message scrolled across the screen. The image flickered for a moment, revealing a visage of a man staring down at the camera (at Phaser's eyes?). Was the guy threatening Phaser?
In his panic, Cain reflexively grabbed at his magic, but was struck with the feeling of uselessness. He couldn't exactly do anything to the other end of a web connection. "Phaser! Are you alright?" Grabbing the TV screen was pretty useless. Phaser was actually across the world, if his American accent was to be believed. Still, Cain had to try. He had a feeling that his new friend wasn't so adept at defending himself outside the virtual world. Luckily Cain knew a thing or two about winning fights he shouldn't be able to. "C'mon mate, just give that knobhead a good kick in the bollocks and lock yourself in the toilet. You can probably get the cops there before he can break the door down."
((Haha Cain: kicking people in the nads first, asking questions later.))
