Hey doctor, I know this isn't your wheelhouse but if you're in Temba, just a head's up about that "Edogawa" kid. He claims to be a detective and has got it into his head that he should look into these murders.

I didn't mention you're the one who I gave the evidence to that I gathered but since I'm not on-planet I figure you have a better idea of who-all is and can get someone to keep an eye on him so he won't get into trouble.

There's something weird about him and the whole innocent ask about Shinichi's whereabouts is super suspicious.

[butterfly_kiss]

You're saying little Edogawa-Kun is suspicious? If it were anyone but you saying that I would definitely be hesitant to believe them, but you have never let me wrong.

I suppose I shall have to seek him out and try and keep him out of trouble. Granted I can't get a sensible young man like you to do so, so I wouldn't be shocked if I failed.

[thepurpleone]

[He may or may not be pouting at the tablet right now.]

A-anyway, it's that whole innocent query about this Shinichi person. Which I probably wouldn't have looked into if he'd bothered mentioning at all- well anyway, there's just something weird going on but I can't really figure what just yet.

[butterfly_kiss]

[Don't pout. She's trusting your take over her own here, Donnie.]

Alright. I'll see what I can figure out. He's Japanese like me, so perhaps I can find something out.

[thepurpleone]

[He's pouting at the implication that he gets into trouble! ...which might be somewhat true but still!]

For the record I approached him anonymously over the network so I'd appreciate not being namedropped.

[Again. But this is a different matter anyway and Tae doesn't seem like the sort that would use Shaw's tactics at least.]

[butterfly_kiss]

Then I shall not do so. I see no reason to disturb your approach there. Though do you not require the Comms datapoint to be anonymous? Therefore would he not have a smaller pool of suspects?

[thepurpleone]

You do, but only to set it. My brother knows how to do that much now, and that keeps me from having to swap between that and engineering just to do things.

If he figures it out then good for him, but that's only if he cares enough to look.

[butterfly_kiss]

Ah, that's quite fair. Still, it's sad to see.

Have you seen the crew roster? I'm reviewing them now and it looks like this Conan is the same I met. There's no records for the individual he's looking for. Perhaps he's convinced his brother is here somewhere. Or there is a mental dissonance. Not my field. But I'll do what I can.

[thepurpleone]

If it's actually his brother. "Niichan" can also be a generalized term right? Not necessarily by blood relation.

Anyway I wasn't implying that you had to take responsibility, I was just wondering if you knew who all else was "downstairs" to keep an eye on him.

[butterfly_kiss]

[It can be, but there are different weights to them, and Tae thinks she's good at reading the unsaid things.

And she got fooled by a 17 year old in the body of a 7 year old. While they already have an android with a similar weirdness. All on her, though she knows it not.]

It is, but it seemed applied in a specific way. But I will figure out people to help with this task.

[thepurpleone]

[That's probably good, because you know who's not good at reading between the lines when it comes to people? This guy. ...he's not great at reading people in general, honestly, that's pretty much why things with Billy and Stu happened.]

Okay.

[butterfly_kiss]

Donnie, dear, get some sleep if you can. Your brother is worried about you.

[thepurpleone]

I know, I know.

[butterfly_kiss]

I worry about you too. Now go. Get back to whatever you're going to do that is ignoring doctor's orders. I'll arrange a meeting with the young man.

[thepurpleone]

I'm just trying to fix things!!

[Because he's just so used to doing things himself.]

Laters, doctor.

[Aaaand he hangs up.]
