...If that fog ever comes back, just do me a favor and shoot me first.

[And that's all she has to say there.

But a few people will be receiving text portions locked individually to them, most of them reading the exact same:]

[Dylan isn't going to insult her by implying that she can't handle herself. She pretty obviously can. But that doesn't stop him from being concerned about her safety. He's concerned about everyone's safety and wants to reduce the risks as much as possible.]

You should have backup hidden nearby when you go blow a metaphorical raspberry at them. Just in case the Authorities react more violently than expected.

And three people to remove the collar, and someone with at least first aid training. They shot at least two non-humans, and collared one as an afterthought.

[Mr. Paranoid is paranoid still, and slightly cynical. But, he's also planning to get them to come after him as well so he can't necessarily argue.

However, it does give him the slight tone as having thought about it- not that he hasn't thought about every hostile scenario imaginable already.]

[At least they're not telling her she's suicidal. That skips a few of the more obnoxious steps. Concerned, she can handle.]

That's all assuming they come to the right place. [After all, if she feeds people four different locations and the the spy's in group C, Shepard might very well be in Location A while the Authorities show up at Location C. Or B or D, for that matter.]

We'll have eyes on each of the possible locations, at a safe distance of course. Teams of two or three, just to be sure.

[hunt4commonwealth]

Sounds like we've got the beginnings of a plan.

We should make a list of the most probable suspects and make sure that they're in different groups. And hope the spy doesn't turn out to be the clean cut person we were almost certain we could trust. [Don't look at Rhade.]

[truth_is_cold]

[No need to look at me, you're poking me with words.]

You do realize thus far, Edmund has had access to everything we've traded for. Not that I suspect him of being a spy, but if he keeps records-

[femshep]

I haven't had any dealings with him yet. [Which sounds more like 'for good reason' than 'so I can't really say one way or another'. She doesn't trust Edmund. That's a fact.

To Dylan's thoughts:] That's also a possibility. [A possibility she's factoring in on her own, not that either of the men here would know until after the fact anyway.]
