Shepard-san, I know you've been willing to help us in our investigation before. I was wondering if I could make a request of you.

Private: The Investigation Team, Team TARDIS, Team John & Karkat, Steph, TimI thought I'd update everyone on this. Since no one's been kidnapped, we've decided to explore

i can fly at the barrier if you need me to.

[yearoftruth]

We'll keep that in mind, thanks John.

[wearthehood]

i will try to think of other ways to help.

[yearoftruth]

We'll keep you in the loop.

Is there any way to compare the release list to the people on the island? We've been getting wary because there hasn't been a kidnapping, and we want to make sure there was no one taken. It's possible that they didn't show up on the Midnight Channel.

SUBJ: Bullshit.

Went into the archives to check, because there aren't any missing persons cases on my desk. Turns out we have two categories for cases like that -- fictional and nonfictional. And the nonfictional case folder doesn't unlock for me. Hell, I nicked the Chief's ID # and password, and it doesn't open for them either.

Folders are only created for open cases. Someone's missing. I just can't tell you who.

SUBJ: That does sound like bullshit.

Then we've got work to do. With not that much to go on.

Thank you for sending this.

Regarding your last point.. I agree that has been weighing on my mind as well. I suppose it is foolish of us to assume this system works exactly as the same as what we are used to, considering the differing variables we have been confronted with. However, then the point of all this remains elusive to me.

[yearoftruth]

It's been bothering me, too. They're still Shadows, so even if the system is different, wouldn't that be the same? I guess there's a reason it isn't.

Do you have any ideas about the link between Iwatodai and Inaba?

[twinknife]

Huh..... speaking of the kidnapper, maybe we should take another look at the people who've gone missing inside the Dark Hour? They haven't been on TV or gotten famous recently, so maybe he's targeting them for a different reason??

[yearoftruth]

Yeah, we need to find a link between everyone. We might be able to predict who's taken next.

Unfortunately we're not really limited between fictional and nonfictional.

[detectivewonder]

The only thing consistent about the victimology is that everyone had an inner conflict they were hiding. Something that reached a crisis point for them around the time of their disappearance.

Unfortunately, nobody's open enough about that kind of thing to form a useful predictive model.

[yearoftruth]

There's no way we can unless we're invasive. That might trigger it, too.

I've snagged us an aquatic explorer! All we need now is a boat to get him a ways out from shore.
