[Melissa isn’t going into this post blind. She’s read the recent posts, found herself the FAQ, and figured out just how much these network people think they know. And she is not happy about it.]

Listen up, kids. I have half a mind to make a beeline for Sherman’s office when I get into work tomorrow. But for right now, I’m off duty, and I have a headache, so I’m feeling generous.

You all have one comment to explain to me why I shouldn’t give every scrap of information you’ve put up here to him. Start talking.

laws were made to help normal people. if this had happened before then i think things would be different. better laws for one, but would that still protect us or protect the police when they go after us?

focusing on leads on the network is not exactly something that will give much. we aren't always going to be the most reliable because of the nature of our pulses.

But some of you guys are members of the police. And as it stands, you're still in the minority, right?

The problem is right now, there aren't really many reliable leads in this city, network or not.

some of us. some of us are kids. some of us are grandmothers, and some are just plain working people. we are a mixed bunch.

anything that you see on here is not transferable. we tried to record and share what we have but it never worked. we can point in the right direction, but what good would that do if there is no way to gather the evidence that you're looking for.

if you're looking for a way to make this stick that is.

Honestly, right now, knowing which direction to look is my main concern.

look into the police and their actions. i'm pretty sure that there are a few questionable practices inside there, especially since we have tried to use the system to find missing people that were once on the network. there might be other recordings or something hidden or just not quite right because i'm pretty sure that even how big the force is, someone must have noticed something off.

Thanks for the advice.

[ ...Though of course, the question is how to ask all of this without arousing too much suspicion. ]

Do you have a name, oh helpful stranger?

it's not much of a secret...shou

[ The name was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it in a case file related to corporate connections before, but surely that was just a coincidence, right? ]

Thanks for the advice again, Shou.

You can call me "Garrus". Mind if I message you if I need anything else?

[chinen shou, one of the three kids of the chinen financial group from Japan way, bumming it out in America to get away from a few rather colorful scandals back home. this was not exactly what his parents thought he would be doing while he was bumming it out here tbh.]

nice meeting you, garrus. i don't mind. i've been around here since mid-may so i know a bit more about the network and people than a lot of the other kids on here.
