6. Video. Laptop.
[Hello Network! Guess who's face pops up after like a month of being MIA? Yup, it's good old Mr Locke, now wearing spiffy new glasses. Behind him, a bit of his fancypants living room can be seen. He stares at the screen momentarily, clearly hesitating, before finally opening his mouth. Boy does he have a lot to say.]
As of Monday this week, my memories of the Network and everything associated with it returned. Nearly a month of unawareness has made me realize how necessary it is to divulge certain information. Not only do you all deserve to hear it, but certain details may prevent unnecessary problems on the chance my memory fails again in the future.
[He takes a breath. Okay, time to do this.]
First of all, in regards to myself: Richard Locke is an alias I go by. My real name is Karl Aurion. I am a Deputy Superintendent on the Locke City PD and have been on the force for 18 years with an additional 3 years served in Boston. To affirm that this information is not another practical joke, here is my badge [said badge gets whipped out and held up for a good while before being set aside] and several individuals here can confirm this information, as well. For those unfamiliar with police hierarchy, my rank is the 6th highest position on the force. I will state for the record that my position does not gain me special favor with Sherman, Edwards or anyone else.
[This is a nice segue into topic two. The seriousness falters briefly before he continues.]
Which leads to the second matter: Miki Kaoru and his death. Unlike the media and the police department claim, Miki was not a victim of gang violence and obviously not of terrorists. The culprit behind his death had been another police officer. That officer had given Miki chase for reasons unknown to myself. Upon noticing the chase, I followed. When I arrived on the scene, Miki was cornered and the officer had his gun raised. I attempted to interfere but to no avail. The officer incapacitated me before killing Miki. [a sigh] I apologize for my own elusiveness on both this matter and everything associated with the drug bust on the high school.
In regards to the bust itself, I admit to being the one behind it. I had been stationed at the high school since last year to help bring this bust to fruition, among other less noble reasons; however any Network arrests were done without my knowledge. I had not assumed my investigation would be used to bring in suspected individuals and I take full responsibility for this oversight. Though it may be difficult to believe, I did not provide my superiors with any information pertaining to the Network or those associated with it, nor do I intend to do so long as I can help it. I, unfortunately, could not help it during the past several weeks and was more than willing to take note of suspicious behavior. This is why I ask for caution when approaching me in person as I can potentially end up endangering lives should this occur again.
[He actually looks apologetic at this. Any seriousness, however, is interrupted by a teeny kitten suddenly popping up on screen, jumping up on Karl's head and plopping itself down for a nap in its new favorite bed. A brief, if somewhat exasperated glance gets spared up at it before the seriousness returns full force at the laptop]
Finally, during the last month, I managed to speak with both Edwards and Sherman, gaining the latter's trust enough to be given details of his investigation and offered modification. [a heavy pause] I accepted this offer a week after my memory of the Network was lost.
The modification process as I experienced it went as follows. It was done at a farmhouse outside of town. A robot greeted me and informed me to lay down on some sort of an operating table. Then, by use of an [insert a very unsure pause] old fashioned, pink perfume bottle, it rendered me unconscious. By the time I awoke, the procedure had been completed. I was handed a pamphlet and a... mint before being sent on my way. Here is the pamphlet in question.
[The front and back of this flower sticker monstrosity get held up to the screen for a few moments before being set back down.]
I have not experienced any significant side effects and can provide further details on the modification if asked. Should there be any other questions about any of this, they will be responded to... honestly.

...Thank you and yes, I've been ordered to remain there for now.

cool
is your room still open after school
[ video ]
On most days my door will continue to be open.
[That comes out kinda awkward, but he actually feels awkward. Someone not only NOT mad but asking about after school availability? Completely unexpected.]
...You're not upset?
[ text ]
it's not your fault you lost your memories and mr. lyall told us to stay the fuck away so you wouldn't turn us all in
everything you did after that makes sense
i mean keeping all of that secret was shitty but you were looking out for you and if any of these people can tell me that they've never done anything really stupid and selfish to save their own asses before i will laugh for the rest of my life at how full of shit they are
besides i'm in an economics class this semester and this shit is BALLS
i'm not getting any smarter :( help
[ video ]
My actions seem... selfish?
[That possibility, that somehow not telling anyone this could be selfish, had never been considered. Real genius, ain't he? And the economics bit will get addressed later.]
[ text ]
well yeah sure
all of that shit was kind of important especially because most of the police is out to get us
what if one of us kids made the dumbass mistake of telling you about a network thing while you were out because they didn't check the network in time for mr. lyall's warning
like not that would've done much but at least they would've known that it was better to stay a little more careful around you
you made a choice not to tell us because the drug bust thing was more important to you for whatever reason
and i know you're probably the last guy to WANT a kid to disappear but it could've happened if things had gone worse because you made the choice
so yeah man that looks kind of selfish from over here
not a team move
remember
consequences
[ ... skyler you are also being a little hypocritical. haha. ha..... he's trying to justify what he's doing by being a dick who no one likes enough to talk to anyway but nah man. nah. ]
[ video ]
[And Skyler has successfully gotten through Karl's overly thick skull!! He doesn't say anything for minute, maybe even two. Thinking this over and realizing how your good intentions had actually been selfish ones takes time.]
The reason I didn't mention any of this, my assignment excluded, had been that I felt not knowing would prove safer in the long run.
[He sighs and actually for once looks like an old, tired man.]
How selfish this reasoning had been, I never realized.

man i'm not actually mad stop looking like liam neeson in the last quarter of every one of his movies
hell knows i probably would've done something shittier but like
yeah
people fuck up it happens
don't shit on yourself for too long
things don't get done if you get stuck
[ video ]
...You're right. I may continue to shit on myself for a while longer yet, but you're right.
[Ah and as a small token of thanks, he adds.]
Whenever you need help with economy, stop by my classroom.
