[ VIDEO; LOCKED TO THE DEFENSE FORCE ]

Can I have your attention, please? I have a few announcements to make.

First of all, if you haven't already heard Derek Morgan is no longer with us. I'll be stepping in as temporary leader for the Investigative Team until a new leader can be elected — if you're interested in the position, come talk to me or Kitty.

Second, all of you who were assigned to the Investigative Team during our stay in Squall are highly encouraged to file out reports regarding our time there. Anything and everything you can think of, even the most insignificant of details can turn out to be of great use later on.

Data, it'd be great if you could come see me whenever it's convenient.

I'll be at the Defense Quarters HQ all afternoon if any of you need any help or have questions. That's all for now.

[ ACTION; OPEN TO ALL ]

[ True to his word, Reid will be at the Defense Force headquarters all afternoon, working away on his own Squall-related intel and pondering how to best report the rather startling discovery they might've stumbled upon.

Later in the evening he can be found in the education center music room, playing a rather familiar piece followed by the second movement of Beethoven No 8 sonata, Pathetique. A little slow and full of stumbles, but the boy tries. ]

	Then it sounded very orderly? [That was a little teasing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Gosh Kitty. ] Thank you... I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If [yes if] we do get a new leader for the investigative team I'd rather it be someone who doesn't have combat duties. Too often when things happen we need both teams working and that doesn't go over as well if we're losing key people one place or the other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-21 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	Agreed. It wouldn't be much use to appoint a leader who can't give us their undivided attention in the event of a crisis. I guess I'm just... throwing it out there. See if I can make a list of interested parties, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-21 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	No, it's good. Actually, there might need to be more shifting. I need to replace three team leaders. I was hoping they might come back, but hoping doesn't give teams leaders. And I'm not sure promoting on the current teams are the best choices in all cases. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe it's time for another recruitment drive? It couldn't hurt to rally up a few spare members in any case, with the rate we're losing them. [ Disheartening doesn't even begin to describe. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-22 03:44 am UTC (link)
	It might be a good idea. At least none of the teams are memberless. ...How are you doing with Derek gone? And Emily. [She hasn't exactly checked in with the force since joining and it was hard to miss people when they were all exercising together.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-22 09:35 am UTC (link)
	[ And there it is. He lets his eyes flicker to the side, visibly tensing up. ] I'm okay. Garcia isn't taking it so well though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 03:10 am UTC (link)
	You know when I talked to Garcia she deflected her feelings by saying she was more worried about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 09:15 am UTC (link)
	[ ....damnit. ] I'm handling it, okay? Besides, don't you think we have more important things to worry about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	[She's quiet for a few beats.] I should probably say yes, but then I'd be lying about how important you are to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	Kitty, I'm fine. It's not the first time and it won't be the last. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	Not even going to take a second to be happy the girl likes you that much? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry... of course I'm happy over that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	Better. Okay, we know how this goes. You're hurting. I'm worried. You don't want me to worry. I don't want you to push me away. And we love each other very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	And... what? What do you want me to do here, Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	I was really just pointing out our pattern. It's not like I'm trying to play you here or anything, Reid. But if you want to know what I want you to do? Really? Then it's just to be honest with me and not push me away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Just because I don't want to talk about something, that doesn't mean I'm lying to you. [ Hnnrgh. ] There is nothing to talk about. They're gone. It happens all the time, you should know that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	I do know. [Soft, weightly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Then what is there to talk about, Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	About how much it sucks and hurts and isn't fair. I don't know. Maybe it's the kind of thing you're just supposed to hold someone over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	It's not going to bring them back. If anything, it'll take up time from what might actually do that. [ If you guessed that he's burying himself in work because it's easier, you guessed correctly. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	[She did! She did! She has some experience with that herself actually. And they never really did talk about Itachi leaving even though she was sad about it.] How do you think the reports will go? [Better?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-23 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ Much. Needless to say, he leaps on the subject change. ] I'm not sure yet... it's pretty loose directives and I'm still trying to catch up with the administrative side of this. If nothing else, Data should be able to help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-23 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. It might help to interview others too. They might have noticed things our team didn't. [There's a pause] Tyki's hair was long again. [yeah, it's a thing she noticed.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
