[The PCD turns on to silence at first, before Nathaniel speaks, his voice soft, calm.]
Jean Louis and Mireille have returned home. My condolences to anyone who were friends with them.
[A moment of silence.]I'd like to reassure everyone, however, that this will not impede any progress. We are more than capable of rising above such dark times,

...At least Jean Louis' done beeping me ten times a day. Unless you're planning to take that over?
[And John might notice she's calling him by his first name.]
I'm gonna ask Beka's unit members if they're okay to work with me. I can be in charge of both teams for now. Unless one of them would rather become unit leader in Beka's place.

[He nods.]
I'll have you in charge of both teams until we can find a suitable replacement. Can you inform them?
Reply
Yes. I'll do this shortly.
[ooc: I'll throw a post, tomorrow at the latest.]

Yes, alright. Thank you for your assistance.
[A pause.]
I'm concerned about Raphael. Have you dealt with her before?
Reply
As you should. ...I usually avoid having to deal with her. She's way too powerful and dangerous.
She wants to take over the police force, doesn't she? [After all, that's what she's been trying to do since the beginning.]

[A pause.]
I want her off the project.

I'll help you achieve that if I can.

[Thoughtfully.]
If she kills me, Hino Rei and yourself should decide what to do next.

Why would she kill you? You'd come back anyway.

...if she kills or otherwise incapacitates me, then. I'm sure there are plenty of ways she can cause brain damage and render me useless without killing me. I'm prepared to accept the consiquences.

I'm not a damsel in distress. I'm fully capable of defending myself alone.
Also I did not heal you back then to have you throw yourself at Raphael and accept the consequences. That'd be stupid and totally defeat the purpose.

[Just as firmly.]
It's everyone who is wary or Raphael. It's the integrity of this force and the reputation we must uphold in order to be deserving of the public's trust. I will do everything in my power to keep her at bay, but if that is not sufficient, then I entrust yourself and miss Rei to act appropriately in my absence.

I'll do my best. And I can't talk for Rei, of course. But I doubt we have the same vision of this police force as you do.

[He smiles at her.]
I don't charge into things headfirst- despite my willingness to intervene, I do think things out carefully and I don't plan on bein incapacitated any time soon.
[A pause.]
I'm talking about a backup plan. A 'just in case'.

Do you want me to tell you that I'll be careful?
