[So the investigation at the Smith house was a bust. Honestly, Ema's lucky to have gotten out of there injury-and-death-free.

She's more than a little frustrated with the time wasted, but no matter. She has a Major General to talk to.]

I wasn't injured, but all we learned was that we're heading the wrong direction with them.

...Tell me what you can do, and what you're willing to do. This isn't child's play.

That's frustrating, but at least it's helpful in its own way.

I'm not someone you want on the front lines; I'm no fighter. I'm looking into getting a firearm to defend myself, but I'm not a great marksman either.

I'm a homicide detective with forensic science training; my skills come in investigation and gathering information and, occasionally, drawing conclusions. I hope to get something resembling a lab together where I can take a closer look at evidence that crops up or already exists.

I'm willing to put myself into danger to collect or analyze information--I know this isn't a game.

...Then I want you teamed up with intel: Scout, Crowe, etc. Kay Faraday, as well. They've all been instrumental. Work with them on gathering information on city hall, the police station, and the Smith women.

If you haven't read the file on Westport, you're welcome to that. A second set of eyes for analysis will do us some good. If you come up with anything meaningful, I'll introduce you to the head of my intel team.

I'm glad you've volunteered. We're finalizing the last attack details, and we need every body we can get.

Understood.

I've seen Klavier's copies of some of the documents, but I haven't seen the original files. I can try to run forensic analysis on anything that was recovered from Mayfield, although my abilities are limited by the technology of the time. I'll give it my best shot, though.

I'm glad to help. If we don't take a stand, we're never going to get out.
