So I know I can't be the only one who's had the unexpected pleasure of coming into possession of messages that aren't intended for my consumption. I'm not talking about you getting someone's private love letters or metaphorical cat video links, which I've gotten and deleted.

If I were back home, I'd be sliding this info to my nearest and dearest investigative journalist type. Since I'm not, well, I guess I've got to take matters in my own hands.

It's an interesting read, so, I'm just going to include the unedited details for all.

[what follows is a copy of the message that peter had received earlier, sent from lydia gill-jade, which seems the sort of thing that would come up in a current headlines search if it weren't presumably a secret. well, so much for that, huh?]

Maybe it's just me, but do people usually name successors for campaign donations?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Even if they haven't done it yet, the fact that the tech exists means there's a non-zero chance of them using it on the general public if they need to.

I assume you're gonna go digging.

[gravemistake]

Oh yes.

[personalwar]

Let me know if you need backup with anything.

[gravemistake]

I dunno. You still have moral compunctions with shaking people down?

[personalwar]

Not particularly.

[gravemistake]

I guess you can come.

[personalwar]

You guess?

[gravemistake]

You got something better to do?

[personalwar]

There's a lot going on out there.

[gravemistake]

True...but does it sound as fun?

[personalwar]

This isn't a game.

[gravemistake]

Of course not. But that doesn't mean it has to be boring.

[personalwar]

Just tell me where and when. Preferably not on the network, but you already knew that.

[gravemistake]

I'll come get you.
