[Video] Tuesday evening

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Wes was expecting just another routine patrol. Okay, it was probably going to go poorly because that's been a problem of late. But poorly in a standard way.

And the patrol had been fine. It was getting back into Poseidon when the trouble started. So now he's in his alternate accomodations in the Old City outpost. And a bit annoyed.]

Okay, what the kriff is going on?

To add fuel or to be it. They're coming after us now.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Go after the ones that stand out they, make a good scapegoat.

[It's probably bad that he can see exactly what's happening so easily]

Empire did the same thing with non-humans.

[unofficial_ambassador]

They think that we're behind those murders, and it's hard to blame them.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Wouldn't be surprised if that image is being cultivated on purpose.

[unofficial_ambassador]

That awful video that was leaked over the weekend was shot by one of us. Only someone with access to him or to our network could have done it.

[Which has some unpleasant implications. Inara has a suspect in mind and there is nothing good about this at all.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Wes grimaces]

That doesn't help.

[unofficial_ambassador]

You're probably lucky to be where you are. Things are only going to get worse.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Tends to happen, with civil unrest.

How is everyone doing?

[unofficial_ambassador]

At the Flop? Restless. Nervous. No one's been seriously hurt that I know of.

[The 'yet' hangs unsaid in the air for a moment.]

Most people are either trying to keep indoors or running around outside trying to put out fires.

[Which should let him know how Luke is doing.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Hopefully we can keep it that way.

[Realistically, someone is going to get hurt sooner or later.]

Staying in's the best plan for civilians.

[Luke and Kerra, of course, are never going to go for that. Wes wouldn't, if he was there.]

[unofficial_ambassador]

Staying in is the best plan for all of us. Seeing us only provokes them.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

At least some of us are better equipped for it.

[You try keeping... just about everyone from his homeworld away]
