[Cops & Robbers] GCPD Headquarters.

[johnhughthom]

All results pms out, phase six begins, 48 hours for orders.

Im going away for the Easter weekend... So JHT please sent my results PM to Renata also...

And take her orders for next phase.

Unfortunately I can only send results to anybody who was actually present during the events. I can take Renata's orders for you though.

[Renata]

Officer Dashwood, report! Who's our mugger? And good work, by the way; I'll stand you a Krispy Kreme.

Alejandro, Czarnecki, what do you have?

[Seon]

Not reporting anything unusual in my patrol ma'am.

[TheFlax]

Nothing much to report either, Lieutenant. Though I did that thing you wanted me to do.

Adelia moves nearer to the Lieutenant and begins talking to her briefly in hush tones.

[Chimpyang]

A moment in your office please?

[Skooma Addict]

*Walks in and places a big box of doughnuts on the lieutenant's desk*

No usable prints on the car. I found some clothing fibers. However, they won't be of much use without the original clothing to match them with. I ran the plates which came up empty, but it appears this is the same car that was involved in the Lemur Alley incident.

[Renata]

Well fancy that, we have a criminal in custody right now. Maybe someone could make sure he gets a comfy chair to sit in. You know, the kind that leaves fuzz all over your clothes, and vice versa. Don't forget to vacuum it first. Come to think of it, isn't the department secretary prone to walking around with tabs of double-sided sticky tape on her fingers? Maybe one of them fell off someplace useful.

[Double A]

Nathan walks up to the lieutenant's desk and swipes a donut.

Nothing to report from my patrol, ma'm. Maybe they wised up.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I scored a big fat zero from my mission.

I am contemplating doing what I said I was going to do, and start patrolling randomly. My assignments have all turned up nothing. Give me a chance, coach, I know I can do good.

[Beefy187]

I guess no pm means I've got nothing to report.

[johnhughthom]

I guess no pm means I've got nothing to report.

Sorry Beefy, org was screwy when I was sending the results, yours must not have gone correctly. I'll send it again now.

[Beefy187]

EDIT: Robbery occurred in mid town.

Two men, robbing an house. I saw the two, but they got away
Whip me

[Askthepizzaguy]

Okay, I am going to take a huge leap and risk a whole lot of everything on a hunch. Because I have gigantic diamond ones.


I am being blackmailed by folks who suggest that they are from Internal Affairs. They have sent me "evidence" that they claim they will use against me if I do not uncover corrupt cops among the ranks here.

However, the evidence doesn't seem familiar to me, and that's why I'm acting on my hunch.

I wish to submit this evidence. I believe it comes not from Internal Affairs, but from the criminals in this game. If we examine this evidence for fingerprints, or evidence of forgery, or other types of analysis, I would be willing to bet my box of 12 donuts that I have for breakfast every day that we find a substantial lead on what we're supposed to be doing. I bet it leads directly to people we're trying to catch anyway.

Further, I've made no progress on uncovering corrupt cops and I don't believe I will be able to succeed in this.... "mission"... in time to satisfy these thugs anyway. So, at this point, I've nothing to lose but my career.

I am willing to risk it all. This is phoney baloney scummery, and Pizza says examine the stuff they're trying to blackmail me with for clues and/or leads. It can't hurt.


Who should I take this to?

[Skooma Addict]

I've known you for a few years Rocco. You're not dirty. Strange, but not dirty.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I've known you for a few years Rocco. You're not dirty. Strange, but not dirty.

I've been told you're the man to examine the evidence. I trusted you with my life, I'll trust you with my supposed dirty laundry.

Find the criminal scum. I swear they are behind this, or my name ain't Rocco.

[B-Wing]

Blackmail?! Corruption?! Here?! But we're the police! This just doesn't make any sense. I thought we were the good guys; I thought we enforced the law. Now my world's turned inside out... How do we know who to trust? Can we trust each other, or our superiors, or neither?? I don't know what to do.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Aside from the overacting I would suggest if we can conclude that I'm being blackmailed by the Robbers, there are no corrupt cops, and that this whole thing was a wild goose chase to get me to avoid my policeman duties and to undermine the efforts of our entire team when we begin accusing one another.

I blame Sasaki Kojiro for all this. Or GeneralHanky. he would be that devious.

[Double A]

They haven't been playing games lately. I bet they're both behind all of this!

[Renata]

(Pizza -- take it to Skooma, obviously, unless it's not that sort of evidence. I'll look at it in that case.

@ All: I'm going to be ten times busier than I thought this weekend (now to Monday) so won't be able to cover for your orders if you don't send them. Please do. Suggestions:

Skooma -- look at Double A's car, check if there's any paint from the criminal's car left behind or anything
Chimpyang -- he's your catch; interrogate the mugger (unless the rules say only detectives and up can do it, I haven't checked. If so, it's Flax's turn.)
B_ray -- go look for witnesses to yesterday's Gotham Heights mugging, see if they saw anything useful

Everyone else is on his own, but please tell me afterward what you did and what the results were.)

[johnhughthom]

It seems there are quite a few people busy this weekend, so this phase will be extended until 2pm BST Tuesday.

[Skooma Addict]

So to be clear, I am to check out O'Connor's car? Is there anything else you want me on in case time for more actions?

[B-Wing]

B_ray -- go look for witnesses to yesterday's Gotham Heights mugging, see if they saw anything useful

But didn't we already apprehend the mugger??

[Askthepizzaguy]

I will patrol randomly, but it would be nice if someone went with me. I have a feeling "internal affairs" wink wink wink is going to come after me and I'd love some backup.

[Stildawn]

Tunney hands in his report:

As you are sitting in your car you spot Frankie Squilacci. Following him you see him walk into a bar. You follow him in and sit at a corner, nursing a beer for an hour. He leaves for a few minutes, and just as you get up to follow him he comes back. After a few hours he leaves and goes home. It seems you wasted your night.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Wasted your night? You drank a beer. I don't consider that a waste of time, Tunney, unless of course you DROVE HOME DRUNK, in which case, cuff him boys.

[johnhughthom]

Round over, I have to go into work for a few hours, supposed to be a day off, so may take most of the day to get the writeup/pms done.

[johnhughthom]

Writeup done, pms out (Apart from Renata. Clear your inbox woman!), phase 7 begins. 48 hours for orders.

[Skooma Addict]

*Comes in early, sleep depraved and running solely on caffeine and a slight sugar high, sets the doughnuts down and straightens the place up a bit*

[Chimpyang]

Come in, tried to interrogate suspect. Remembers that I got sued in the past for breach of role...passes it onto the detective's to take care of.

[B-Wing]

Well I questioned the locals near the scene of the Gotham Heights mugging that occurred two nights ago. I found several people who say they can identify him and will testify in court! We'll be able to put this creep away in no time!
