IC contact post

Cooper here. I'm not available at this time, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

_{(ooc: Leave any message here you don't feel like clogging up the friends lists with! Specify video, text, or audio. c:)}

As the saying goes, "I can't tell you what it is, but I'll know it when I see it."

I don't have a name for you, but if that same ID posts somewhere with a name attached, I can match it. Zack is working through a sweeping program to capture and compare IDs as we speak.

Zack?

_{[Might not be important who's doing what, and he does sound a tiny bit distracted as he asks, but that's only because he's reaching over to flip open the notebook he normally carries and write stuff down.]}

My Porygon. The Dex claims he's cybernetic; it turns out that also comes with a knack for computer programming.

[Rather like his namesake, in fact, which gets a wry sort of smile out of her. Oh, Zack. He always did love his technology.]

I could do it myself, but letting him handle it gives me the opportunity to focus on other things.

_{[He nods, even though she obviously can't see it, udnerlines the memo he's written and shoves the notepad away.]}

Why are you telling me this?

_{[Not that he suspects any underlying motives or that he's questioning her actions, but he is interested in why she'd choose to go to him. If she knew about the resistance group before he brought it up she could have easily given the information to someone else.]}

[She doesn't sound surprised at the question, exactly, but there's something in her tone that suggests she finds it strange he'd even need to ask.]

I'm a woman of my word. I said if I found something, you'd know.

Words seem to be worth increasingly less. I appreciate that you stand by yours.

_{[It hadn't slipped his mind, precisely, but it hadn't been on the forefront of it. He hasn't yet placed Carmen in the 'People to count on' folder of his mental catalogueing, so it's a pleasant surprise that she might find a spot there.]}

[And she mulls on that a minute, knowing there's still the card up her sleeve that she's not revealing, that the two of them aren't quite as much on the same side of the law as she might have otherwise let on, but it's an important distinction in her mind that she hasn't lied. Bent the truth, yes. Concealed the full truth, certainly. But she is a woman of her word, and when she gives it, she keeps it.

Somehow it's important, hearing that he knows that.]

What they did today, to those girls...I'd never want to see that happen to anyone. I'll find the ones who did it. You can count on that.

Already am.

_{[Words that might be surprising, absolutely, but as he says them he finds them to be true. He considers the two of them similar and there are very few cases he hasn't solved himself and he doesn't imagine her record to be all that different.]

[Besides, unless she's lying - and she has no reason to - she's already shown a fair amount of skill. Pokémon help or not, there's still the matter of thinking it up, of knowing what to say or do to get results.]

[Not to mention he can hear the edge to her voice and he's very familiar with that kind of thing.]}

[And surprised she is. Not that she's unfamiliar with the idea, of course, but...no, it's been a long time since anyone felt the need to offer her a vote of confidence. Who would ever think to, with the level of confidence she always displays in herself? It's like being seventeen all over again, Suhara at her side.]

If anything else comes up, you'll be the first to know.

Keep up the good work, detective.

_{[It could have been vaguely patronizing but it's a sincere compliment and his tone is grateful.]}

"I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet,
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back...or say good-bye."

Good night, Agent Cooper.

[And after a slight pause, she disconnects.]

_{[He closes his own gear slowly, hint of a small, contemplative smile on his face when he rises to shut the window, mentally reciting the rest of the verse.]}
