[ 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."

Did you just suggest we kill an entire precinct?

[reneger]

said erase, not kill
there's more than one way to get rid of someone's credibility regarding an event

[vns]

It's not on the table.

[reneger]

you've got solutions but you're unwilling to take any of them
can't jailbreak, can't kill them, can't tamper with the evidence and fuck with the cops' credibility
looks like you're fresh out of solutions

[vns]

How do you propose we do half of those? The evidence is that their implant isn't registered. The credibility is something I'm not touching, but it's obvious that this isn't going public because they're already being cautious. And a jailbreak would be borderline suicide.

The rest of the implied solutions? Don't fly. They don't work.

[reneger]

so, what
sneak in, register their implants?

[vns]

How? How do you sneak into a place like that? How do you explain that they suddenly exist? How?

[reneger]

you're the handler, not the other way around
how, gabs? how do you think it'd work?

[vns]

I don't do stealth missions into precincts.

[reneger]

could give some of some stealthy tools to hide our ids
send us in to pull them out
put them behind bars down in the safehouse until we figure out what to do with them

[vns]

Do you think going into a precinct with hidden IDs is a solid move?

You realize all the cops can see that they're hidden by looking at you?

[reneger]

if you can assign us ids, why can't you reassign them?

[vns]

This isn't my territory, and I've messed it up a few times.

But my understanding is that El is making you all new lives, histories. Building little bits here and there to make it seem like you've been in this world the entire time.

You can't just restart that, not easily. Not without leaving some trace. We have to work around it with the people we bring in – the civilians. It's much harder, and they have to live their lives with their heads down.

So, what I think you're suggesting is something temporary. No can do.

[reneger]

i was thinking more along the line of ruining one id, rebuilding another after
have one of our own get into the precinct with their name attached, make a wanted man out of them
rebuild after

[vns]

And then kill the men inside?

[reneger]

if you wanna go the more humane route:
put id scrambling helmets on them, and cart them off to the safehouse

[vns]

I like the humane route, but you're forgetting the part where they need to get back out.

[reneger]

i'm not forgetting anything
go into the precinct, kidnap a few assholes
get out with them
get their chips registered
done

[vns]

That isn't a way out.

[reneger]

got any explosives?

[batricide]

They're just people doing their jobs.
Leave them out of it.

[reneger]

how do you intend to leave them out of it entirely?
because i'd be more than happy to
it's a little hard when they're working in a fucking precinct

[batricide]

Hit them with sleeping gas if you have to.
They're civilians just following orders. They don't deserve to have their lives ruined over two murderers.

[reneger]

then do it your way

[batricide]

I'm not doing a damn thing.
