009 ✞ [VIDEO] - Backdated to before the fog rolls in....

[Midii payed close attention to the Network.  Often.  She saw the conversation passing publicly between individuals.  Noticed the patterns occurring.  Such as the recent increase in people disappearing.  Possibly being sent home.  Coincidently, starting from soon after the Emperor had been killed, except Midii didn't think it was a coincidence.]

[But that wasn't why she came to the Network that day.]

[She had a different question in mind.  Something she had been wondering about more and more, with every conversation she carried here:]

What if...somebody doesn't want to go home?  

Could they make us?  Or would they let us stay?

[Hypothetically speaking, of course.]

[Only it wasn't hypothetical at all.]

What's your name? I can try some of my people, see if I can get him to talk to you.

Midii.

Midii Une.

[She didn't expect him to recognize the name at all. Unless a member of her exceptionally small social circle happened to mention her in passing, which she couldn't think of a single reason for any of them to do.]

[There's no sign of familiarity. Costigan's never heard her name before that he can recall.]

Billy Costigan. I'll see what I can do.

[Good. She always felt better when people she didn't know didn't know her, either.]

Thank you, Mr. Costigan. I appreciate it. Really.
