[locked to new hires] [video] clues

[ownperson]

Alright, locking this because if the guys in the other rooms are being anything like us there's messes we don't need the corps seeing us fuckin' making, or worse, but whatever, point is:

[ South holds up a colour printout of all the current Hires faces, with all the teens and younger circled, but numerous others' faces crossed through with Xs:

Guts
Kevin Armstrong
Breq Mianaai
Ronald McDonald
Alia
Dan Sagittarius
Agent Washington
Agent New York
Agent South Dakota
Sarah Kerrigan
Aiden Price
Lavernius Tucker
Carolina
Agent North Dakota
Nora Valkyree
Sam Winchester
Brandon Saint John
Rune Saint John
Garviel Loken
Mackenzie Haynes

We found a fuckin' doozy. Gonna guess the crosses mean we specifically weren't what this thing was fuckin' looking for in a target for copying.

Like we said earlier, we also found Santa's sack in the shower like the thing was trying to wash it out and a whole lot of candy it probably dumped from it. The closet in here was missing a medium uniform and the locks in here are all fucked, but like... carefully fucked. And... that's it? [ she looks over at Kerrigan as if to confirm, then back at the camera ] So far, anyway.

What the fuck's everyone else found? Assuming we haven't been the only team actually getting shit done.

I was with Adora.

I mean we were asleep before the alert but I'd notice if she got up and left.

[parannoyed]

So no alibi.

[Shit shit shit. That leaves Dave and Adora not having alibis for sure. They still have to check with Brainy and Robbie. A medium uniform likely isn't Robbie because he's taller than Wash, but Brainy...]

Locked to Catra.

Look, there are other prospects like Dave and Brainy.

But if nobody had eyes on her for the whole time there's still a chance it was her. She might have tried to get up quietly to go do something without waking you.

[Someone that cared about their SO could potentially get up quiet as a mouse to let them sleep.]

I know it's terrifying to think she was replaced because then you have to entertain the idea that it could've killed the original. But we don't know if that's what it does to the people it pretends to be. Which means the person it replaced might be tucked away somewhere hurt and needing help.

If it did take her place, wouldn't it be important to figure out, if it meant the real Adora needed help somewhere?

not locked whatsoever

[heterochrocatic]

I have really good hearing and I'm a light sleeper. Trust me, I'd notice if Adora tried to leave.

So fuck you for suspecting her and fuck you for even trying to make me have doubts about it. I'm not letting people try to throw Adora under the bus. It's not her and you need to some other scapegoat to throw to the execs.

Re: not locked whatsoever

[parannoyed]

[This is why he hates dealing with teenagers. So emotional and dramatic.]

We're not just going to hand the person over to the execs without making sure it's actually the monster. And if we suspect someone, we'll figure out a way to prove it without hurting them, just in case we're wrong.

Whatever you do, keep an eye on her. If whoever the doppleganger replaced is alive, we can't let it get away and potentially kill the real person.

Re: not locked whatsoever

[heterochrocatic]

I know how this works. I don't need your reminders or instructions.

We can handle ourselves.

[hallelujahjunction]

No one's throwing anyone to the execs.

[heterochrocatic]

Yeah. I'm making sure of it.

[hallelujahjunction]

And I have your back on that.

[But he still thinks it's Adora.]

[heterochrocatic]

There's maybe one person on this whole rig I trust to have my back and you're not them.
