[ 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."

[yikes with a capital Y........

THIS IS TO BOTH OF YOU, since he knows Connor will read this anyway:]

Connor, don't patronize him. I trust he has enough sense to not go and endanger all of us on a whim.

Matches, you know you're only encouraging responses like these with your flippancy. And he isn't anyone's "dog".

[cyberlife]

I'll treat people the way they treat others.

If he wants to disrespect everyone, then he'll face the same outcomes. That's equality.

[saviorexe]

[Connor. He's too tired for this.]

Is that so? Equality — an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? Think about that for a moment.

[cyberlife]

Someone has to say something and who else will? Everyone's tolerated this for far too long.

[saviorexe]

Then say it in a way that doesn't agitate him. You're only stoking the flames hotter, but I have a feeling you're very well-aware of that.

We don't need more arguing right now. And he's definitely not going to concede to you like this.

private.

[cyberlife]

Yes, I am. On purpose.

Haven't you noticed that he tends to do the exact opposite of what people tell him to after insulting their intelligence and their ideas? Markus. He's not going to do it if someone's inviting his foolish plan and trying to goad him into it. But your questions to me would be "What if you're wrong? What if he does it anyway?"

If worse comes to worse then 'Matches Malone' and 'Hafid Alghul' need to be ousted from Morningstar and the safehouse, because as I see it - and I see a great deal - they're bigger liabilities than the men who committed these homicides.

private forever...again

[saviorexe]

Connor, do you honestly believe he's such a caricature of a person that the best way of dealing with this is to rely on reverse psychology?

[Markus is fairly certain that this is getting out of hand.]

You're not going to have them ousted from Morningstar or the safehouse just because they're overly opinionated. Let me talk to Matches. He puts on a front, but he can see reason, too.

same.........

[cyberlife]

Not this time, Markus.

He's suggesting to Gaby they set off explosives in the city. It's gone too far. I am a police detective, I am not going to stand by and watch this happen when it's endangering lives.

[cyberlife]

Alright. Sorry, Matches. Markus.

[reneger]

maybe he shouldn't act like a bitch, then

private

[saviorexe]

Maybe you should reply with the same amount of seriousness that I know you're taking this. Let go of it for now, Jason. You're both too stubborn for this to amount to anything. Today, at least.

[...]

If I ask you to tell me, truthfully, what you think we should do about all of this, will you?

private

[reneger]

I think they're liabilities that committed murder on their first day in this fucking hellscape
that leaving them there will eventually lead the NA straight to us
but rushing it is just as fucking stupid
if we don't get them out before they're transferred out of the precinct they may as well be lost to us
i don't know what the shit is in our chips but if ours have the same signature as theirs and the cops decide to figure out where they come from, we're in deep shit
all of us
avoiding compromising everyone else is the priority

private

[saviorexe]

The issue being that there seems to be very little means of getting to them before they're transferred out. You said avoiding compromising everyone is a priority, and making any move on the NAPD runs that risk.

I know it's difficult, but for now, the most reasonable option is to wait and see.

Also, I need to ask you to not threaten Connor.

private

[reneger]

he asked for it

private

[saviorexe]

He's as stubborn as you. I'm sure it seems like he did, but I can't abide by any threats or harm that comes to him. I'm sure you have people you feel the same way about.

Do it as a favor to me, if nothing else.

[cyberlife]

Have I struck a nerve?

Go on, prove me right. I always am.

[reneger]

you don't know me

[cyberlife]

No, but you fit a certain theme.

Markus suggested I stop aggressing you. I will, out of respect for him. But if you mean to make allies, you're doing it wrong.

[reneger]

pissing me off isn't doing you any favors either

[cyberlife]

Are you threatening me, Mr. Malone?

[saviorexe]

I need for you both to step away from this conversation. Now.

[cyberlife]

It's over.

[reneger]

if i was, there wouldn't be any question to it
i'd tell you exactly what i'd do to you, when i'd do it, where i would
not this

[cyberlife]

I see.

Because if you were, I'd have to notify you of my intention to bring it directly to Morningstar - even if this on a public network post Gaby is currently following. I can't imagine they'd want someone violent enough to hurt their allies involved with them and the location of a potential new safehouse. In everyone's best interests, the way you think burning bodies and bombing the city is.

Until next time.
