[ETA: officially on hiatus now, but will be willing to backdate next weekend if you'll bear with me. ^^;; Thanks.]

[Text: Private to anyone who came forward re: the Fazt*Kicz drink // 50% unhackable]

Sorry for any disturbance this may cause, but I'm investigating the recent happenings related to the Fazt*Kicz energy drink. Likely you've already

[yes, this response is video, just so you can see him facepalming.]

Christ, Kudou, you never change.

[crosstobare]

[responds in kind, and smiles both at the facepalm and because he assumes Ken hasn't hacked the rest.]

Oh come now.

[He thinks about saying, 'would you recognize me if I did?' but.]

Too old to change my wicked ways.

[gentiana_clusii]

You're only as old as you think you are, old man.

[also: you should never assume. Ken's actually better with computers than you are, and more used to how this network works. His effort at security is a lot better, too, as a result.]

Need any help?

[video]

[crosstobare]

Clearly not, I still think I'm older than you.

[...damn, he should have seen that coming. Strikeout.]

Filter this?

Too bad you're forgetting something: I'm 25 too. Time's a bitch like that, ne?

[neener neener. also Ken's encryption isn't perfect, but hey. We can't all be as awesome as Nagi and Mamoru.]

Done.

[Interesting that Ken says that, even though he called Youji 'old man' just a moment ago. Youji might think about that later.]

Anything you can drum up about where most of the reactions occurred would be appreciated. I might have isolated the factory, it's certainly got the right equipment, but I can't get any employees to talk. I'm asking Mamoru to try and hack their records and see if he can't turn up anything damning.

Why don't you just bust into the place? For the sake of investigation, obviously.

[Ken: ever the straightforward.]

[crosstobare]

Maaaybe because I don't want to get caught?

That only works if you have a police badge. And a gun certainly won't hurt.

[gentiana_clusii]

...honestly, Youji, I'm pretty sure you could do it without being caught if you wanted to. S'not like we haven't done it before or anything.

We also tend not to leave witnesses.

Not sure I'll have that luxury this time. It isn't worth the risk.

Not yet, anyway. I haven't entirely discounted the option, but I'd like to save that for a last resort. I don't know what kind of protection investigators have here, especially since I'm a newcomer. Even sending Mamoru after them is skirting the line between legal and illegal.

[gentiana_clusii]

No witnesses if they don't see you.

I'll do it for you, if you want.

[crosstobare]

What, have you found yourself able to turn invisible since you got here?

...not without me, you won't.

Re: [video]// 95% unhackable

[gentiana_clusii]

Nooo...?

Oh, so there's your sense of adventure. I was beginning to think you'd lost it!

[video]// 95% unhackable

[crosstobare]

Even if I had, I'm sure you could find it in your heart to compensate.

[Flashbacks to Germany go here.]

Let's see what we turn up the old-fashioned way, though. But if we can find any evidence of the hallucinogenic in the plant... that would be quite damning.

[gentiana_clusii]

I'm just a saint like that.

Do you know what it was?

[video]// 95% unhackable

[crosstobare]

They haven't figured it out yet. Can't even tell me if it's natural or synthetic. If we stormed the base tonight, I'd have no idea what we're looking for.
