4th Howl [Private Network Messages]

[Lyall enters four numbers into the Word document he's been using as his compilation of network communications, one at a time. Banagher Links, Ryuo Bakura, Anthony Janvier, and Kenji Kobayashi, even though the latter of those hasn't actually communicated with Lyall over the network. Each of his high school students receives the same message:]

This is Mr. Lyall. We need to talk. Please come by my classroom today (Saturday) at sunset if you can. Reply to this to let me know if you can get here, need a ride, or have a prior commitment.


[He sends out anther one for former students, namely Kallie Raydan, Robb Stark, and Hajime Aikawa:]

Are you all right? Have you run into any trouble since last night? I'm having a meeting for current students today at the school, if you want to come and talk about safety tips and plans.

I will do what I can to keep it safe. The blinds will be closed, and the door locked. But I think it might be safer than imparting information over this network after Jack compromised it.

[Lyall doesn't have any idea whether those invaders, or whatever they were, would be able to access this network... but it is always better to be safe than sorry.]

[ Her concerns were actually more along the fact that... gathering people all together, allowing them to get to know each other- that was a recipe for disaster, should one of them be captured in the same way the murdered boy was.

She doesn't know what to do, though, because it's clear they can't do nothing. For several more minutes she doesn't respond, thinking on it... reluctantly acknowledging that there isn't a solid 'good' answer here. ]

I'll consider it.

Thank you. If you would rather come later, or in a different venue, I understand, and I could fill you in on the details in private.

Got it.

[ That said, she's actually a lot less certain than her phone-written text might imply. When she says she'll 'consider' going, she really means it. ]
