This is Nick. I don't know how many of you are still on here that know me, but I'm going to cut right to the chase here: I've been working undercover with the mafia for months, trying to get their secrets for the network. And now I finally have something useful.

There's going to be a meeting soon. Albero will be there, along with a large number of high ranking mafia members. I know when, and where, and I know that if we hit it, we stand a good chance of taking them out and making a serious dent in their operation.

I know some of you are going to say that violence isn't the answer. For anyone who wants to try another road, I have a number of recordings of the mafia making plans to frame network members, and of some of the kidnappings that have happened, as well as the location of where the mafia members are getting their modifications. I'll pass them off to someone who wants them, but not until just before the meeting. It's obviously going to blow my cover pretty badly.

I'm going to that meeting. I don't want to do it alone, because I want to make this hurt, and I can't do that by myself. I know I'm not the only one who's been affected by what they've done, and if we want to stop them, to make it so they can't do it to anyone else - this is the best chance we've got.

We need to take it.

While I am not so sure I approve of the method, if people are going, I should still like to be sure you get out in mostly one piece. If you need a doctor, you can count me in.

I'd say violence isn't the answer, but I think we burned out all our other options.
I've got a score to settle with these assholes.

I'm getting tired of playing footsie with the assholes. Give me a meet up time and I'll show up.

I'm hoping I'm misreading this, so I have to ask.

You have information that can be used against them, but you're going to withhold it until it wouldn't do any good, because you're going to murder them.

Is that correct?

Whatever I want, at this point, would be removing you from Locke as quickly as we can get to the teleporter, once this is all over.

So you're going.

[And he kind of in a way considers you youngling family. This is a factor weighing in on his plans.]

Of course; I can understand not wanting to involve them and I'll respect your wishes. It just means we need to ensure we get enough manpower there with you, but not so many that your cover gets blown too early.

[L's own infiltration mission went very far south, but at least he knows better what mistakes not to make.]

You can rely on me to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible behind the scenes. In return... please kick Albero in the face for me.

Don't think you're leaving me outta this one.

Good. I'm in.

You can tell me as little or as much as you want--I don't care.

I have proof that they've organized attacks against us. I don't know how the public will take it at this point, but I do know that even if it was enough to get the police to arrest Albero, it's not a conviction that will stick. There's enough corruption to see to that.

I think a lot of us do at this point.

It'll be good to have you.

The public has already made it clear what it thinks of us.

Albero and as many of his higher ups as possible. You take out the leaders, you don't have much left.

That's a little short sighted - The public in Locke are the ones who have made that clear, not elsewhere. Because of him, largely.

Unless of course he's proven right, which you seem intent to do.

There is always some rat to fill that hole.

It's a last resort method.

But thank you. I'm probably not the only one who'd aprpeciate it.

Same here, to all of the above.

If you can get me a katana in there I can take out the fucker before he sees me coming.

No. I have information that likely isn't enough to get an arrest, definitely isn't enough to get a conviction, and will get me killed if I give it to the wrong person too soon.

I also have information that will let us cut off the head of the mafia organization and stop more people from getting hurt.

I'm acting on the second and handing over the first.

Yeah.

[There's a pause on her end for a second.]

One thing though. I don't give a crap about Albero or anybody else, but there's one guy. I dunno his name or if he's gonna be there, but I'll know him if I see him. If that one's there... he's mine, got it?

If you think you can do something with it, you're welcome to the information I have.

I'm acting while I still can.

You think it's really that easy?

Do you think if it gets out we did this, we won't make MORE enemies? That if he's as powerful as its been made clear, they can just be wiped out all at once and that's all of it?

Justified or not, murder is murder and if you're caught, you're going to bring ALL of us down with you.

[bam, pretend there's a time and place here.]

Yeah. Me too. I'm done with all of this.

And by that time, you'll have already done your damage, unless you intend to hand it over in time for anyone to do anything with it.

You're taking it upon yourself to spearhead something that has more chances of blowing up in our faces than doing anything of real merit. No matter what you have on him, nothing will justify wholesale slaughter and vigilante justice in the eyes of the law, OR the public.

That might be a really good idea, at this point.

Thank you. If anyone's uncomfortable identifying themselves as network, would it be all right for them to say they were there to pick up something for Nick?"

Yeah, of course, if anyone wanted. I'm not planning on turning anyone away as long as they understand how dangerous it is.

I'd worried about having enough manpower originally, but I'm not sure it's going to be a problem anymore.

[There's more of a response to this than he'd thought, though of course, there's also plenty of people telling him how stupid this is.]

I'll do my best. And thank you.
