[ Hm. ]

It's not uncommon for people to go missing from the alienage. Of course, our esteemed City Watch would never decide that such cases aren't worth investigating and make up an easy story so they could absolve themselves of any guilt [ the sarcasm is palpable ] but perhaps there's nothing sinister to their refusal to investigate.

[clawings]

Maybe, but there's something goin' on. The unmanned gate tells me that much, and I was there long enough that if it was just someone going to take a piss, they'd have been back before I left.

[bouchonne]

Hm.

[ That is interesting. ]

Have you any notion how prevalent this sort of thing is?

[clawings]

No, I don't. Just that it stinks.

[bouchonne]

All right.

[ A nod. ]

Who else knows about all this?

[clawings]

I gave Vanadi the abridged version before I called you.

[bouchonne]

Good. Will you two continue to look into it?

[clawings]

Can do.
