The interview takes maybe 10 minutes.  You get no indication that you are being detained or are under suspicion of participating in anything here, beyond what you said.

"Now, what did you want to say on behalf of the people involved?" of anything.

Now Cathrin is even more careful than before.
"I got the impression that there was a huge misunderstanding. Between the two of them. And though they, Rachel especially, are... powerful... that it wasn't intended to cause that much harm. Or damage. None of them is... willingly dangerous. Anger issues perhaps, yes, but not damaging things on purpose."

"In fact, it is possible to talk to them. Even in such a situation. Someone who I would consider a bad person would not do that."

The officer looks at you a little askew, "There is major damage to one car, which does look to belong to one of those involved, some concrete damage, damage to one light pole (which was punched) and a few broken windows on the shop.  That is not normal for a person to do.  You're say this was a 'misunderstanding'?"

"No, it's not normal for a normal person. They are metas, after all." Cathrin makes a pause to gather her thoughts.

"What I was trying to say is: you can talk to them as you could do with 'normal' folks. It is not usual when two people have a fight that goes violent, that it's possible to talk to them, calm them down with words. That goes for normal folks. Given that Rachel would have been able to, well, get me into hospital if not worse should she have decided to do so, I'd guess she's not a bad person at heart."

"Don't you see? She is strong, really strong. She could have done harm to anyone around here easily. Did she do that? No! And I know that she was angry. At Red, but still."

You get a dubious look, but she takes down some notes.  "Anything else?  Do you have a car around or can you make it to where you are staying?"

One simple statement from her wouldn't change much, that was clear. Though Cathrin hopes that it might help at least a bit.
SHe shakes her head. "Nothing else."
"I can make it back home on my own."

The evening is quiet, but with some many things to think about and do, it is long.

The next morning, as you arrive at the office for your meeting, you find a full team there ready to go.

[OOC]
Will running the meeting in Mindstrike's thread (The Boss).  Proceed as you will.

"We can.  What time?  Who do you want there?"

Cathrin thinks for a moment. "1 PM? The one who made the slides, Steven, you. FOr a start."

"I can do that."

[OOC]
How do you spend your day?  Give us an idea of what a 'new' job day would look like.

"Great!"


[OOC]
Mostly getting to know the people and what they do. So there is the music they have to do for the commercials. But someone did the story board, for example.
The musicians are of course the ones Cathrin is most interested in, even though they are only a part of what she's doing here.
And, most importantly, get an overview of the current deadlines and things that have to be done until then.

Getting to know the people is also to find out who might be better with less interference and who might need more support or encouragement. That will take some time, though.

[OOC]
The whole studio was an organic project.  It started about 10 years ago when there was a need for quick samples, basic video editing/syncing, and simply nowhere to do it in a timely fashion.  And with studio time being expensive (studio itself, musicians, etc.), the department grew what it needed to do the quick chores.  The department has been contributing to mostly 'English' speaking parts of the company.

[IC]
"We do have a supplies account and a discretionary 'music' account that we can purchase from.  You will have a $5,000 limit, when/if purchasing gets done."

"Oh, that sounds great. But for now we're all set, as it seems." Dichlan looks at the things already there and the possible needs of the tasks at hand.


[OOC]
'English' speaking parts: only about language or something else as well?

[OOC]
Their projects have covered CA (non-French speaking areas), US, and UK in general.  The team does not have any strong non-English speakers and there are resources in other countries.

The schedule for the next few weeks includes some samples needed for version one of a few videos, background music for a radio spot and the technical review of sound bite needed for a news video.

There are a few requests for supplies, a request for resources for an employee video (six month project), and a project for audio review and upgrade to some older training videos.

Cathrin would see to it that she finds the time to at least take a short look at every ongoing project for the next weeks. Helps in getting to know the people there and how they work, too.

Oh, and she would like to take a look at the news. If there is anything about the trouble at Reds garage yesterday.

[OOC]
There are a lot of things in the works; a lot of the work is samples for 'working versions'.  That of course means that there is more work to come, once things are reviewed and approved.  Chicago is the only office in North America with these facilities.

Internet news on what happened is limited; no names, 'meta-fight' with little details.  The sites that track superheroes have more information.  Give me a roll.

Cathrin doesn't mind the work. Usually.


[OOC]
05:07, Today: Dichlan rolled 12 using 2d10 with rolls of 5,7.

[OOC]
You can look at the sites from work.  The following is what you get from your roll.
1. "Red" is also known as G. Prime (see details in hero/villain post)...all the sites seem certain of that.
2. They all seem to confirm the relationship between the two of them.
3. One site questions why "the robots" were not seen...it is a cover-up?  You can find the general names for the robots being 'Onslaught' (large 'transforming' bot about the size of a Ford Ranger) and 'Blitz' (smaller...thought to be dirt bike sized).
4. A lot of speculation as to why Agent Anderson and Agent Franks were there...government + paranoia = no good.

When Cathrin realizes what she just read about Red... she's becoming somewhat nervous - and hoping for her workday to end soon.

She tries to busy herself with the tasks here, but that doesn't really help. She decides to look up some more news when at home.

The day passes eneventfully.  It is busy and the time goes quick.

[OOC]
I'll need a roll to see how lucky you are as 'hacking' isn't your thing.  :)

[OOC]
05:29, Today: Dichlan rolled 4 using 2d10 with rolls of 3,1.
Seems as if it's really not her thing ;)

[OOC]
You do not find anything but what has been discussed in the various thus far.  Speculation only.

What would your next move be?

This evening Dichlan stays awake for quite some time, knowing that she will regret it the next day. But the whole situation is something that keeps her awake.

Sleep does comes slowly.  You have a dream of arguing with your sister in a street...cars are damaged...concrete is cracked...nobody is hurt and it ends in a hug.  When you wake, you realize that was a better ending than happened yesterday.

Not feeling rested at all, despite the good ending of the odd dream, Dichlan gets ready for work. Maybe it is time to talk to her boss about the events with the metas and the agents. Though not as employee.
