Hi everyone,
It's time again for the irregularly scheduled update on the shadowy conspiracies surrounding our spacetime displacement.
If you don't already know me, I'm Leo Fitz, one of the arrivals from the first transport. Prior to being here, I was an engineering and technology operative at SHIELD, an American extra-governmental military counter-terrorism and intelligence agency. Myself and several others have been investigating the circumstances of the fire and the nurse's death, with the generous aid of Gaby, El, and Morningstar's contacts.
Maybe this only confirms our suspicions of foul play and establishes a concrete link between the fire and the creatures. To me, it guarantees that we are dealing with an organization capable of using, coercing, and erasing individuals, even those who have proven useful to them in the past. Everything we do in pursuit of answers is a risk, so please be careful as we work together to solve this.

It's time again for the irregularly scheduled update on the shadowy conspiracies surrounding our spacetime displacement.
If you don't already know me, I'm Leo Fitz, one of the arrivals from the first transport.

Myself and several others have been investigating the circumstances of the fire and the nurse's death, with the generous aid of Gaby, El, and Morningstar's contacts.
Debris samples from the apartment site collected by Kylo (@kylo.ren) and I contained the expected signs of fire damage as well as a significant oddity: Residue left by an organic material. While the residue was too insubstantial and damaged for a full chemical analysis, it showed matching markers to the samples of the smaller creatures of unknown origin (designated 084s), previously tested by Kylo through Morningstar.At great personal risk, Katelin (@katelin.philips) and Marcos (@marcos.diaz) also questioned the morgue attendants. In doing so, we learned the following information:
1. Our nurse suffered blunt force head trauma, noted as his cause of death prior to the fire reaching his body. Such an injury occurs most often by accident, as in the case of a car crash, or when an object is used to bludgeon the skull, as in the event of a homicide.Further investigation shows that all of the nurse's data has been wiped, as if he never existed in the first place.
2. I'm inclined to classify this cause of death as suspicious, and it seems the local authorities agree, with a group of individuals in possession of NAFD Forensics identification having carted off the corpse before we arrived. Additionally, records of the nurse's collection and autopsy have been scrubbed, much to our morgue attendants' surprise and alarm.
Maybe this only confirms our suspicions of foul play and establishes a concrete link between the fire and the creatures. To me, it guarantees that we are dealing with an organization capable of using, coercing, and erasing individuals, even those who have proven useful to them in the past. Everything we do in pursuit of answers is a risk, so please be careful as we work together to solve this.

It's a good idea.🙂

Hafid is certainly a capable teacher.
[ if dodgy, but fitz is also dodgy... so... ]
I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

I have people to protect. I have to get this off as soon as possible, but I won't rush the healing process.

And his brother's a friend, so I trust his recommendation.
[ hearteyes at dick grayson from afar. ]
Good. We'll all be able to protect each other when we're back in tip top shape.

I see.
That'd be optimal, I've been relying on all of you to watch my back. The same as I've been watching yours.

[ no hesitation. ]
We're a sound team.
[ and team means ohana and ohana means family and family nobody gets left behind or forgotten. ]

2/2 private.
private forever.
does he think they're useful and capable? yes, but does he trust them? if his father were here, he'd remind fitz that only those who trust can be betrayed. ]
I trust that our goals are aligned, for the moment.
And that they don't benefit much from having us around, unless more people start to pull their weight. We're walking targets — and probable bioweapons, too.

(a pause between messages, or what constitutes one. he always was extremely quick to reply, both a result of being used to it and volleying texts rapid-fire against markus.
like a game of fast chess.)
We've disturbed the public and brought attention to ourselves on more than one occasion, we're being planted in the streets biweekly by an unknown organization, and we're eager to get involved in things beyond our current scope of understanding... we're rapidly becoming a liability.
I don't know how long Morningstar's hospitality is going to last.

and fitz would have left the lot of them out to die, if they were proven to be a threat to shield. ]
Our numbers are growing too fast for it to last, even if they'd like to go on helping.
They don't even have the resources to support these investigations. That's why they're willing to outsource to us in the first place.
[ connor's right. it's when, not if, their time with morningstar runs out — at least in fitz's eyes. ]

In Morningstar's place, I'd be using the human trafficking victims as bait. It's one of my larger concerns.

I'm not opposed to the idea.
We're not ready to face our former captors, I reckon, but when we are.
[ bait's just another word for trap, and if they're in on it, well, now that could be interesting. ]

We can take care of it together.

We can. We will.
