Jack, do you think you can handle the New Brew on your own this weekend?  I know we're understaffed again, but I've been planning this camping trip for a month, and I'd like to get it in during a weekend where I probably won't become a cat or a high school student.

There are two items of business I'd really like to discuss with all the team leaders in town, before I move on them.  The first is that Red Hood has gone rogue.  I don't know whether or not his mission has changed, but his methods are likely to.  We can discuss what that means in detail, but first - as primary admin for Vigilance, I need to decide whether I'm cutting him off or leaving him in the loop.  At the moment his access is suspended.  I can remove him from the network entirely, I can restore his user privileges, or I can restrict certain privileges -- I've got the stripped-down anonymous communicator only version that I ported to Chief Beifong's phone, but he'll know I can use that to track him.  Chances are, if he doesn't want to be tracked, he'll be off-network anyway...

But the point is, being admin and having the longest working history with him doesn't entitle me to make that decision on my own.  We've got three teams operating here; if any one is concerned with him having continued access to Vigilance, I'm ready to cut him off.  Thought we should talk it over.

Second item.  There are a lot of new vigilantes here from my home universe, or the one next door.  How would you three feel about there being a fourth team on the island?

If you've got time, I'd like to talk.

[Message #3: Locked to Jack, Kate, Dick, & Steph]

It probably goes without saying, but I'm not actually going camping this weekend.

[Message #4: Locked to Damian.]

The situation's changed.  I'd like to update you and reopen the discussion.

Does your brother have a preferred form of address?

Are you over at the shop?

I just made lunch, only I seem to have made far too much for myself. I thought perhaps you'd be interested.

Laura's gone... Released, I think. I haven't had the heart to check the list yet, but all her things are gone. I hope she does well, wherever she's gone. She deserves to know more people who trust and appreciate her.

Oh, I just got a notification! Ah, Miss Stacy? It looks like we've been assigned as roommates. I didn't expect to be changing buildings again. Oh! I do hope you're not allergic to dogs... I'll be home at around eight, but if you'd like to meet sooner, I have a lunch break soon, and I might be able to ask for part of the evening off so that I can move in properly.

How do the kids put it these days?

"Come at me."

Oh, yeah, that's it. Of course, anyone who's really got a bone to pick with me is gonna do it in private and make things really boring. But I figured I'd put myself out there.
