[RING RING ME BAUER, THE MAYOR NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU... ]

[ctu_savior]

[Answering on the second ring]

Bauer.

[homomachinis]

Bauer, this is Hundred. I'm sure you saw the bullshit on city hall. I know who did it.

[ctu_savior]

You mean the graffiti? It's not our highest priority right now, but if you've got a suspect...

[homomachinis]

I need you to keep this on the downlow. Look for someone wearing a black cloak, long hair, and he looks and smells like a fucking hobo. This shit with the animals, and the shit with the graffiti means someone I know is in town.

I'd warn you to not engage him, but I know that's asking too much.

[ctu_savior]

You're right, it is. Sir, that description could apply to any number of people in this City, I'm gonna need more to go on. Why do you think that he's behind the animal attacks, and not that robot?

[homomachinis]

If I told you it was an Irish walking cloak, would you know what that was? As for how I know, this is his thing. He does to animals what I do to machines, except he has this whole death to humanity spin.

[ctu_savior]

I was thinking more about a name. Can you tell me why you want this kept quiet?

[homomachinis]

The name is Jack Pherson. He was-- I suppose now is my arch nemesis. Of a sort.

[ctu_savior]

Did he communicate through graffiti in your own world?

[homomachinis]

No. I would be suspicious if it weren't for the phrasing.

That's the important thing.

[ctu_savior]

'The stars are down?' What does that mean?

[homomachinis]

It's a song written by Kurt Cobain. Eight years after his death.

[ctu_savior]

...

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

[homomachinis]

Technically, it doesn't exist. It has to do with my powers, and their origin, of which I don't actually know.

[ctu_savior]

So it's a reference only you or John Pherson would get.
