Hmm, it's kind of interesting to see the the perspective with which approach problems. The heroes all ask who turned out the lights. Meanwhile, the thief asks what takes eleven minutes to get in and out of.

[Encrypted to Poison Ivy]
Got a new warehouse set up at [address a good ways across town from the other one]. Ramus is cleared out, so whenever you can relocate the jungle is fine.

[Encrypted to Nanashi (Trowa)]
Still in the security system business?

[Encrypted to Logan]
You know, if you keep ignoring me, I'll have to find a new date to prom.

If it was to steal something...

Why do it all over the city? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

[meowminx]

Chaos can be extremely helpful in these things.

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But the whole city?

Good question. Doesn't mean that I don't want to know who decided that pulling that stunt would be funny.

Anyway, you can't guarantee that all eleven minutes were needed. It might have been planned for less time and the machines just took a few minutes to get up and running - some were up faster than others. Or it could have been not long enough.

After all [his voice turns drier] I don't think they could have practiced. Pretty sure we would have noticed it if they tried.

[meowminx]

Of course. Just pointing out there are smarter questions to ask than a lot of people seem to be doing.

[battothefuture]

The answer I want isn't so much what was it as how can we prevent it from ever happening again. Just seems like it'd be easier to answer the one after having figured out the other.

Perspective is such a valuable scope. Isn't it?

[meowminx]

I've always found it to be, yes.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Likewise. But you're advertising a dangerous fact of nature.

[liverletdie]

Interesting perspective. Have fun?

[meowminx]

During the blackout? Not particularly.

[liverletdie]

That's a shame. One of use should have had fun last night.

[chronosyoudidnt.livejournal.com]

Why anyone would need eleven minutes is beyond me.

[meowminx]

Not everyone is a time traveler.

[chronosyoudidnt.livejournal.com]

I suppose. But then, anyone other than a time-traveller would be hard pressed to manage a heist of worth in eleven minutes. Doable, certainly, oh yes, but-- [ Pause. ] What inspired this line of thinking?

[out_of_time]

You think the blackout was a cover for something.

[meowminx]

I think it's a possibility no one else has brought up yet.

Private

[out_of_time]

It could be. But there's been no reports of anything stolen worth blacking out an entire city for, let alone capable of being stolen in such a short timeframe. Then again, maybe it wasn't a cover for removing something.

I don't think I've ever gotten your name.

[sixgoodreasons.livejournal.com]

Didn't know I was going.

[meowminx]

Scott said you would be.

You okay?

[private]

[sixgoodreasons.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[encrypted/voice]

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

I can be.

[encrypted/voice]

[meowminx]

I'd like Ramus' new place to be a bit more secure than the last. Got him a new warehouse at [address] if you have any suggestions.

I'll pay, of course.

Eleven minutes is plenty of time for a professional to do what needs to be done.

[voice]

[meowminx]

More than some professionals need.
