I can be a warm surveilling body here and there, definitely. And he's friends with a friend of mine, Rachel. I'm sure she'd be able to keep an eye on him, too.
She's a telepath so she should be able to pick up at least when it's him and when it isn't.
But it's not a plan I'm fond of, either, that other one. I just wanted you to know - since you're putting yourself in charge of the situation - that someone's out here who knows how to be pragmatic.
