[ 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."

It doesn't seem possible that a solution has evaded me for this long, or even a promising lead.

I'm- we're looking over something big. I need to review.

Between everyone here, not very many leads have gone without investigation. You haven’t missed anything if the right one hasn’t presented itself yet.

Don’t pull yourself in too many directions at once, Connor, or you won’t get anything done.

[cyberlife]

There are only four directions I can move in. I have you, I have our friends, I have this case, and I have my job. In order of importance to me.

I won't lose sight of that. It's just... frustrating.

(he's said it before, he'll say it again. and again. and again.)

[saviorexe]

[An order of importance, with Markus at the forefront. That's simply unfair, making warmth roll against his heart. But the android's logical mind partitions that away, storing it for later.]

I think we're all some degree of frustrated. That much is obvious.

But I know you. This whole post has gotten you restless. So it's worth pointing out that drawing attention to ourselves by retracing old leads, or even new ones, is almost too precarious to consider right now.

(if the lieutenant were here—

if. because he's not.)

I wasn't going to. I can review information on my implant, it won't cause anyone any trouble.

[saviorexe]

All right.

[No point in continuing to reiterate himself when the point has been made. He’ll have a chance to talk to him about it later if need be.]

Let me know if you find anything.
