[ 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."

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.

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.

[saviorexe]

[Explosives in the city. What is even happening now, why is everyone jumping the gun?]

Then trust Gaby to have a level head if you don't think Matches possesses one. You're burning bridges over a few slighted exchanges over text. I'm only asking that you don't act so hastily when everything in this increasingly unwieldy [EXASPERATION] post is just discussion, and not a commitment to action.

[cyberlife]

To start, there was never a bridge to burn; he's a complete stranger to me.

From my perspective, some choice words needed to be administered to probe for a reaction - I got one and it was distasteful. Discussions may be more dangerous than people acting out, because if their insane ideas spread... we've got a very big problem on our hands. Nipping this in the bud, so to speak, is logical.

I will take this to Morningstar.

[saviorexe]

He isn't a complete stranger to me.

[God, not everything is a straight line from one person to another. Relationships between a group are a web, and each severed strand affects its neighbor.

It's probably too late now to make that point.]

But I've said my piece, and I'm still going to speak with him. In the meanwhile, do what you think needs to be done.

(what, they're acquainted? maybe even friends, after a comment like that?

whatever they are, it seems he's made some kind of error speaking to "matches" like that in front of markus. now he's the fool, making a scene.)

Damn it. (grit out in the sky park, jaw tightening.)
