Some Important Follow-Up

[photonicfighter]

Excuse me. If everyone who went to Santa Carlita has a moment?

[Dakki pauses briefly to give people a chance to pay attention. That's how this is done, right?]

I've followed up with Tachibana, and it turns out that he put a tracking device on something that belonged to me. It's gone now, but apparently, the agents are now on the lookout for interdimensional aliens, not just ones from other planets.

I should have been more cautious. I'm sorry. Could the other agents confirm if they've planted anything, too, before I go and get everyone shaking themselves down for bugs?

...and that said, now that we're all back to ourselves, I'm very curious... did the 'aliens' pose any actual threat? What was that all even about? I'm not impressed with a government whose first reaction to extraterrestrial life is to panic and try to lock it up. That can't be the entire story, can it?

I phrased that wrong. I should have said any killing, no matter how necessary. There just... has to be a way around situations like that. I know that just makes me naive, but that's how I feel.

But if there is something I can do to help with that I want to contribute... and if we're faced with monsters, I can deal with those.

People become creative when they are trying their best to avoid something, and we can use more creativity here. [ The sigh in his network message can almost be "heard." ] And it is true, we have had no shortage of monsters on Jaunts.

Creativity isn't always my strongest point, but I will give it thought, at least.
