[Video]: Official statement

[mindoirsurvivor]

[Shepard's face appears on the screen, taut and grim to the point of being nearly expressionless. His eyes are bloodshot and surrounded by dark circles, and the light from his cybernetic implants in plainly visible along one cheek. Looking straight at the camera, he reads -- obviously off of a prepared script -- with barely any emotion showing, and switches off the camera the moment he is finished speaking.]

At 4:58 AM this morning, a citizen's arrest was made, apprehending a suspect in the murder investigations of local medical student Sanjay Chamrajnagar and shop attendant Cally Horn. The suspect was turned over to police custody along with evidence sufficient for charges to be officially filed against the perpetrator.

The department can confirm at this time that the person in custody is Police Chief Thomas Kreise, who was discharged on a medical leave of absence to recover after the trauma of his recent abduction. The possibility has been raised that Mister Kreise was non compos mentis at the time of the incidents -- the murders, and with the potential of an insanity plea in mind, both legal and medical evaluations of the situation are being obtained.

The department has no further comment at this time.

[riseup]

fuck.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Yeah.

[riseup]

i don't understand

[riseup]

 

[riseup]

can he have visitors?

[mindoirsurvivor]

He says yes and the law says yes. Between you and me, I think it's a bad idea.

[riseup]

i know.
but i need to talk to him.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Visiting hours are ten to four, and then six to eight. You need to set an appointment a day in advance. Don't bring in any personal items and stay back from the glass.

[riseup]

thanks, officer shepard.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Yeah.

[turnedleft]

I'm so sorry John.

[riseup]

i am not sure if this is a thing you should apologize for.

[chronosexual]

Jesus Christ...

This is serious?

[mindoirsurvivor]

No, joking about my former boss's arrest is my idea of a good time.

[chronosexual]

Can't imagine it would be.

You really think he did it?

[mindoirsurvivor]

The murder weapon was advanced technology. Kreise had it on him. Unless the doctor who arrested him planted it on him.... I doubt there's anything else like it on this rock.

I can't comment on an ongoing investigation.

[chronosexual]

Then I'll find someone who will.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Be my guest. But if you interfere in an ongoing investigation I'll give you a nice, quiet cell across the hall from Kreise, and you can talk over the details there.

[chronosexual]

I'll pass. I think he'd enjoy it too much.

Make sure to keep him locked up tight. He can get creative with violence. Trust me.
