[NEWS STORY + followup network post, backdated to 9/20]
Media Coverage
[A few days after this incident at Locke High School, a news story breaks during primetime on a popular local station. And gets snapped up quickly, so anyone who misses the initial story might see it (or similar broadcasts) online, on other news stations, in print news, and even a few tabloids. And since it concerns the numbered, it will likely even get some attention in Vegas.]
Earlier this week, a local high school teacher was confronted with evidence that she was part of the organization that calls themselves the 'Numbered'. Her reaction - recorded by an onlooker - has brought new urgency to the questions we've already been asking. Are these people safe? Stable? How many of them are working among us and our children undetected?
[They play the scene, recorded by what is almost certainly a smartphone camera, with a few appropriate comments from the spectators - bleeped out expletives, mostly, although one voice wails "my locker!" at a certain point.]
No one was reported injured during this incident, partially due to the brave efforts of students Daniel Fenton and Robyn Lyre in distracting and restraining the agitated and destructive former faculty member. Police arrived quickly on the scene, but the men shown escorting her out are none other than the deputy superintendent and the homicide supervisor. It's unclear how they're related to this case - neither position would normally respond to a call like this one - but they clearly seem to be familiar with the perpetrator. Could the numbered be influencing the local police? We've brought some experts in to discuss.
[The 'experts' are well-known anti-numbered advocates, and the discussion revolves mostly around how dangerous and volatile the numbered are. They emphasize what a threat numbered might be to children. Ideas about how they need to be tracked and locked up are bandied about. Danny and Robyn are talked up as heroes, and Nick and Karl as either co-conspirators or victims of manipulation. Later reports - especially the tabloids - take these rumors and run with them. The teens are celebrated, and Nick and Karl are accused of sleeping with the Numbered - and each other - more than once, labelled as obvious sympathizers.]

Network Post, video
[Before the first broadcast is even finished, Sheila opens the network. To video, because why not. It can't get any worse. Can it? She's in sweats and has her head buried in her hands at her kitchen table.]
Yes. That's me.
What they didn't say is that I was fired on suspicion of being numbered, right before the video starts.

Well, so far it doesn't look like the press is camped out at my apartment building, so maybe I'll risk sneaking over before they catch wise.

If you need any help with getting here, let me know.

I'll be there in a little bit.

See you soon.

Sheila shows up dressed down more than Melissa's seen her do before - old jeans, a hoodie, and a baseball cap. Her 'hanging around the house' clothes for those days she doesn't feel like doing anything. Her distinctive hair's tucked away. Thankfully, she's managed to get here without incident or anyone recognizing her, though she looks a little jumpy when Melissa answers her knock.

(Also, just ignore the stripper pole in the middle of her living room, Sheila. Until you're suitably drunk, anyway.)

Granted, she couldn't imagine herself as a supervillain, either. She does take the drink gratefully, and swallows a large mouthful on her way to the couch.

Half of her drink had already disappeared.

"Well, I got this pole for a reason," she says with a grin, gesturing to it, "Wanna try it out?"

For a beginner, she's phenomenal. For a beginner who happened to have echoed back some serious acrobatic skills... well, she probably can do better. But it is her first time. And she is a little drunk
