016. [Anonymous Text + Images]
[And tonight, with no fanfare, a text hits the network. Completely anonymous, as always; those who have done their homework would recognize the 'Gear number as the one ascribed to the device that's been showing off several other attacks that have been broadcast to the network.]
Good evening, Johto.
The last few times we've spoken have been a bit unbalanced, wouldn't you agree?
[Ah, there are the pictures. Still images from the attack on the square in front of the Goldenrod Department Store, along with a few other images - the attack on the Kimono Girls and against a few random civilians, the Goldenrod Pokémon Center being destroyed. Little unpleasantries like that. Scroll past them and the text will pick back up, don't worry.]
You've told me so much about yourselves, during those attacks. I've gotten to know several of you quite well, actually.
For the time being, I would like to even the playing field a little. It will keep things interesting, I think.
From the time that you contact me onward, you have an hour to ask me anything you like. I can't guarantee you'll like or be satisfied with the answers, but it'll be better than nothing, I imagine; anything is up for discussion, short of my current location.
And don't worry - I'll introduce myself, just to spare you some time.
[There's one more image after the text ends; it's the sort of picture that usually closes out these transmissions to the network - a shot of the Rocket agent in question from the chest down to about the waist. The room behind him is dark, though it appears to be a meeting room of some sort, if you squint; the Rocket insignia emblazoned across his shirt is clearly visible above his hands, which are obscured by the pale gloves that come with the uniform. Instead of the usual Pokéballs clasped in his hands, however, there's a white card with a few words written on it in thick, blocky writing, as though someone had written the letters and gone over them repeatedly, rendering them unidentifiable through handwriting alone. The words are highly visible, standing out against the stark, glaring white of the card in the flash of the camera:
MY NAME IS SETH.
PLEASED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.]

IS THAT SO? WHERE I'M FROM, THE MILITARY ALSO HAS ITS OWN LAW ENFORCEMENT BRANCHES, BUT THOSE ARE PART OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, NOT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AREAS.
no subject
...also what are you even talking about, bro]
But don't the people who defend the country have the right to decide what's considered just within it? Dividing it like that makes no sense.
no subject
[He's generalizing to keep things simple. Gordon doesn't think Kimblee needs to know about additional branches of law enforcement like the U.S. Marshalls or the ATF, DEA, etc.]
THERE'S OCCASIONALLY CONFLICTS OVER JURISDICTION, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WHEN DEALING WITH CRIMINALS LIKE YOU, EVERYONE'S WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CRIMINAL IS PUT SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY CAN'T DO THAT AGAIN.
no subject
HOWEVER]
If I may, why are you still yelling? If you've dealt with nearly as many "people like me" as you seem to be claiming - and correct me if I'm wrong - then surely you shouldn't still be completely incredulous at the knowledge that I exist.
I can hear you just fine without the screaming.
no subject
[He's not being malicious about it, even though he's talking to a criminal. He's just really loud. Almost all the time.]
no subject
Hard-of-hearing, by any chance?
no subject
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
no subject
no subject
no subject
That said, I think we may be done here; for future reference, since you won't give me a name, how would you have me address you?
no subject
AND FEW WOULD ENVY THIS. IT'S PRETTY TERRIBLE; THAT'S FOR SURE.
no subject
...you're certainly an interesting one, aren't you.
no subject
[He's actually pretty normal compared to some of the people where he comes from.]
FURTHERMORE, I'M SURE THAT YOUR COMMENT IS AN ATTEMPT TO PUT ME AT EASE SO YOU CAN GATHER MORE INFORMATION ON ME. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, SETH.
no subject
Though I suspect that I could probably also call you paranoid and not be inaccurate.
no subject
[He'll explain, too.]
YOU SEE WHERE I COME FROM, PARANOID PEOPLE ARE THE TYPES WHO JUMP AT EVERY LITTLE THING OR THINK SOMEONE'S ALWAYS OUT TO GET THEM. I THINK ACTING LIKE THAT IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM BEING WORRIED ABOUT GIVING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO A GUY WHO GOES AROUND BLOWING THINGS UP. I'D CONSIDER THAT TO BE MORE OF A RATIONAL FEAR, AND NOT PARANOIA. ONCE AGAIN, I THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
NOW IF WE WERE HAVING A NORMAL CONVERSATION AND YOU WEREN'T SOME SORT OF TERRORIST, AND I STILL REFUSED TO HAND OVER ANY IDENTIFICATION, NOW THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A SIGN OF PARANOIA.
