[A very tired looking Tom is looking over some notes and looks at the device.]

That's great and all but I don't know how many would volunteer for the instant transmission thing. Um...how would it work?

[Video]

[my_own_friend]

It's simple, really. Your minds would all be linked, courtesy of me, so you could transfer your thoughts to each other instantly. Much faster than these clunky devices, I should think.

[Video]

[junior_cop]

[Now that sounded promising.]

So just in case someone loses theirs by accident, it's damn near fool proof. Alright. I'm in.

[Video]

[my_own_friend]

Very well. Should you ever need me, or anyone else, just direct your thoughts to me, and I'll patch you all in.

[Using A nearby device.]

[hunted_by_fbi]

Get me a link.

[my_own_friend]

Are you part of the investigation, dear?

[This one seems unsavory somehow, yet she senses something of a kindred spirit.]

[hunted_by_fbi]

Yeah, you can say that. My device is elsewheres an' I'm not much fer babysitters or babysittin'. And I don't like borrowin' things.

[my_own_friend]

Mmm. Very well. Should you ever need to contact anyone else in the investigation to exchange information, just think of me, and I'll link you in.

[She offers him a sly smile.]

[im_in_ur_exit]

Ah - thank you. [The moment of relief is visible, and if she's paying attention, as much as his surface thoughts are a sprawling flowchart from hell with a flood of little details of time and chemicals and possible movements and mental maps? He has almost actually said out loud either "I could hug you right now" or "...I think I love you a little right now" for the help.]

We need to move soon [Now, yesterday...] - that would help greatly.

[Video]

[my_own_friend]

[His surface thoughts are indeed a mess, but there's a definite order and reason to them beneath it.]

Yes. I understand the dire nature of the situation. I'm glad to help in any way.

[im_in_ur_exit]

Can you reach people that haven't actually responded to this? We can use the number of people on this to our advantage if we can get them coordinated. [And yes, he's already thinking in terms of forming a net where the subtlety game won't work anymore.]

[Video] [Private]

[my_own_friend]

I don't know everyone here. Tell me who you want to include and I will.

No, on second thought, just think about them, and I'll be able to find their minds and link them in.

[agentmisora]

That would be very helpful. We're extremely grateful for your service. Thank you.

[my_own_friend]

Of course. I'll be sure to link you in.

[Audio and L] [[PRIVATE UNHACKABLE]]

[worldsrunnerup]

[Hm. Maybe she can be useful.]

Emma Frost, you have no objections in throwing yourself into this investigation? Please express any qualms you have now before you become part of the ongoing investigation.

Re: [Audio and L] [[PRIVATE UNHACKABLE]]

[my_own_friend]

Hmm. I wonder which of the three Ls floating around this place you are.

I can look out for myself, if that's what you're implying. You think I want a maniac running around this place and slicing people into bloody ribbons? I'm a superhero back home. I'm willing to do what it takes.

[Audio and L] [[PRIVATE UNHACKABLE]]

[worldsrunnerup]

The real one.

[This could work out better than he thought]

You seem to be up to the challenge. Alright, Emma Frost, I will take you up on your offer.

[Audio and L] [[PRIVATE UNHACKABLE]]

[my_own_friend]

Of course, any one of them would say that. But you seem to have this investigation's best interests at heart.

[So she'll trust him, for now.]

Very well. I suppose we'll stay in touch, then.
