I appreciate the vote of confidence, though I do understand that it was more for Sorrow than for myself. Nevertheless, we will be undertaking an investigation shortly. Our main goal is to uncover any allies the Null have in the city - this should be no surprise.

However, I will admit that we have not conducted an investigation such as this before. Our kind never had any need to. As such, we would appreciate any constructive input you would like to give, as well as any assistance you may wish to offer. We have discussed this and decided on a course of action already, but Sorrow and I have agreed that some of you may have more experience with this sort of thing. It would be foolish of us to ignore that. We are listening to your suggestions.

However, please note that I said constructive input.

No. They have justifications. But that does not change the fact of what they are doing.

It will allow us to know who wants us dead.

Most of 'em aren't shy about it.

No. But there is a difference between those who will merely talk about it and those who will act on it.

And you think you can figure that out?

[lingeringhope]

With enough care, yes.

Humans are pretty complicated, Hope.
