49th Memo- Message from the D.O.I. [Voice]

[maggotbone]

Callie Maggotbone here, giving you a friendly little update on the matter of things.

The D.O.I. City Handbook is under construction. Since Jack Bauer's release, he has been updating information as it has been coming. If there is additional information of features you, our population, would find useful, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We have completed arranging affordable, secured housing for natives that lose their homes due to... various shenanigans. This housing is also available to anyone who doesn't care to stay at the MAC, for whatever reason.

[Private Encryption to current D.O.I. Skrull Plot participants- M'gann, Laura Kinney, Romanov, Hank McCoy, Wild Tiger, Khashoggi, Rin, Bobbi Morse... more to come...]
To our other special supporters... we will have a secure meeting at the D.O.I. conference room this Thursday afternoon at 6. Don't be late.

[ In reference to This sign up, Jack, Callie, and Julian contacted various people via their preferred mode of contact. We can hand wave this interaction, but in a nut shell, assume a conversation about Vulcanus and Skrull activity has happened.]

-- ain't puttin' up with this again.

[ the camera jostles a little before the feed becomes steady, focusing on lillian crawley's aggravated face.

it's hard to tell what's making her mad -- the list of things that could set her off probably stretches around the earth twice -- but you might notice on the couch behind her is a humanoid woman with vibrant blue dreadlocks and white eyes. she's dressed in a large sweater and little else -- and judging by the scratches on her arms and her throat, it was a fight for lil to get even that on her. ]

I ain't. Someone else can babysit her goddamn bot ass. If she thinks I'm gonna let her stay here after she comes waltzin' in, tellin' me my husband's really gone an' she's upset about it --

[ lil purses her lips. her face is angry, but the slight break in her voice suggests she's choosing anger over more miserable feelings right now. ]

Someone come an' take her. Before she blows her own goddamn head off again.

[ Wow, it's a VIDEO. A great start into technological competence, indeed. Faintly in the background, this music is playing… but at first, all that's visible is a placard that reads, in very carefully written print:

STAY SAFE!
FIGHTING CRIME?
MAKE SURE YOU'RE TRAINED!
WORK WITH A PARTNER!
ORGANIZATION IS IMPERATIVE!!
☺

The placard is removed and someone steps back; the communicator is propped up somewhere, stationary, displaying a view of Riverside Park. In-frame is Hooded Justice, joined shortly by Nelson in his Captain Metropolis costume. He's got his mask in his hand. ]

Good evening! To those of you who don't know me, I'm Nelson Gardner, alternatively known as "Captain Metropolis"; I've forgone my right to maintain a secret identity so that me and my associate Hooded Justice here might better demonstrate the importance of safety when it comes to standing up to crime. It isn't as easy as it looks. More important than will is know-how -- watch what could happen to the under-prepared would-be hero.
