[ this was supposed to be one of Gaby's days off. in fact, she's not in the safehouse when the message comes in. ]

Turns out that we're missing two new faces around the safehouse.

I'd play a guessing game as to why I wasn't told, but I don't care. These two faces apparently murdered two people that night.

I don't know who they are, but I do know that they're locked up. Any guesses as to what's going to happen to them?

Genuine question. Because I don't know.

Oh, and because some of you think you can do whatever the hell you want around here: don't think the way out for them is a jail break. Don't even fucking try it. And no, Morningstar isn't in the business of breaking people out of jail, because that would be stupid.

[ she's a little angry. no. a lot. but mostly she doesn't know how to handle this one. ]

Look. You know something? Tell me. You won't be "in trouble."

don't know anything but i am curious:
you know who they offed and why?

what's morningstar going to do when the UN figures out there are dimensionally misplaced assholes wandering around?
nothing?

[vns]

Don't know the who, actually. Does it matter? I doubt anyone's telling the new guys to go out and commit a murder.

Assuming they don't know already – you know how these things go, Matches. What can Morningstar do? I'm asking you. Someone else has been working very hard to keep you guys off the radar.

[reneger]

if someone has been working hard to keep us from getting noticed, maybe these losers getting outed will be enough to drag out who the hell is pulling us from our respective worlds

alternatively:
get someone else arrested, kill them, smash their chips and burn their bones
problem solved

[vns]

We're not killing them, Matches. Though I want to knock them around a little myself.

Ideally, whoever's doing this didn't expect that we'd let someone slip through our fingers like this. You know as well as I do that they want us to nab you by now, and they know Morningstar got the first batch. That's all known.

So where do we go from there? And should we expect more of you down the line?

Hard to say.

[sumio]

Apart from, you know, the murder, he has a point. A lead is still a lead, even if we’ve gotten it... unconventionally.

[vns]

You're not wrong. Let's say I didn't come by this through conventional means, but I'll tell you what I know if anything progresses.

Deal?

[sumio]

Deal.

If you need a man inside at any time, I’m at your disposal.

[vns]

I'm not sending any of you to jail.

[reneger]

heard you've got some tech savvy dorks in your legion of agents
right?

how about erasing the evidence?

[vns]

El wouldn't like being called a dork.

We're trying, but it won't put the cat back into the bag, if you will. That's how that saying goes, right?

[reneger]

cute, we'll go for it
so you'd need a prison break
erase any evidence and witnesses

[vns]

Did you just suggest we kill an entire precinct?

[shorelined]

Reacting to the problems caused by murder with more murder is not going to solve anything.

[vns]

Don't worry. Matches talks a big game, but he's harmless.

[reneger]

you don't know what i'd do

[vns]

That's why you're not taking point on this.

[reneger]

i can be very helpful
when i feel like it

[shorelined]

I will take your word for it.

[ not. ]

[reneger]

sounds fake

[shorelined]

And yet, I believe you know that I am right.

[reneger]

nah
killing killers is a good way of getting less killers

[kometes]

Lay a hand on them and you will face consequences, Matches.

[reneger]

what are you gonna do about it?

[kometes]

Exact revenge.

If a life lost is worth taking another, then I’ll take yours.

[reneger]

i'd like to see you try it
