[When the NV turns on, there's some faint noise in the background. There are a few people talking, too far away from the device to be heard properly, and there's the sound of a piano somewhere.]
When I worked in investigations back home, the worst I ever had to worry about was paperwork. The system was meticulous - overly so - and everything had to be done perfectly. Actual crime was low and the perpetrators were always caught and dealt with in one way or another. No one remembered criminals, either. Their names and ID numbers would disappear off the grid, smothered into silence. In retrospect, it was as efficient as it was suspicious.
[There's a hushed voice near the NV and Re-l thanks someone briefly.]
I've said it before, when I first arrived here, that this system is so much more corrupt and lacking...and yet it's also similar to my home. It's not the police and it's not the politicians, necessarily, that are the trouble. It's the people. They're so full of hate and stupidity, and they lash out at anything that's different. No one can be critiqued, especially not by a Newcomer.
[A bottle is opened and she pauses to pour herself a glass. She drinks it down quickly.]
They hate us enough to treat us like animals and hunt us. The best part of it is that no one wants to admit that it happens and no one is safe. Not official citizens, not cops, no one. Charming, isn't it?
[She leans back in her chair, the wood creaking. She's silent for a few moments, and though she wants to say something helpful...she just can't. Not over the network.]
If you have information about the people who were caught or those involved in the destruction of the hunting grounds, I suggest you go to the authorities immediately. Fill out a report, make sure you get a follow-up call, and cooperate with the detectives. If you come into the station ready to throw chairs or threaten officers, you will be thrown out or locked up. Don't piss them off.
...And one more thing. [She sets the bottle down with an audible thump.] Behave yourselves and stop getting your names on my desk, goddammit.

Take it easy on yourself and don't stretch yourself too thin.

Or as close to over as it can be, anyway.
