Okay, so…

[Amado's tucked away somewhere, away from the rain and the attention of anybody he might not want to see him recording this. Nearby are Zari and Laphicet.]

Everything's pretty chaotic right now with the planned slave labor and the jail and stuff, but you guys have gotta see this shit. Me n'Zari n'Laphi managed to snoop around that broadcast station for a bit before the cops showed up and like...okay. Did anybody else have to deal with people who had KlarTech cybernetics and now they're useless 'cause the government pulled their sponsorship? There was a big scene about it and me'n Majima had to deal with it and apparently Laphi did too and afterwards we were wonderin' why it even happened in the first place, so the three of us decided to try and look and see if we could find anything.

Here's what we found.

[He attaches a copy of the recording they found. The CEO of KlarTech slighted the Prime minister in some insignificant social setting and as a response, the Prime Minister issued a recall on the business' cybernetics and pull their state sponsorship, which, as anyone who dealt with it themselves will know, caused a hell of a lot problems for KlarTech's consumers.]

Not that we needed anymore proof, but this guy's completely off his freakin' rocker. I think the only questions here are how and when do we show this to everybody with a functioning pair of eyes and if anybody managed to find anything else like this.

[Find some juicy info while exploring in the Electric Sheep log? Now'd be a great time to share it! Also note, Zari and Laphicet will be out in this post as well!]

[Amado grimaces. He's read about the shards a bit on his magitek, but all that stuff, even the mission Ophelia did to recover one of them, was before he showed up.]

Do we know what those...do? If it wound up in the upper levels, could it be makin' the Prime Minister do this stuff?

[hackedhistory]

Or maybe he could be using it to keep himself in power? Like ... can it brainwash people?

[It's highly likely that the upper class still doesn't care, but it's worth some consideration.]

[predomination]

Brainwash, no, but it's a power that shouldn't be held by normal humans. It's a piece of a larger whole, and the untold power the temporal crystal had isn't to be trifled with.

We haven't seen what a shard will do if in contact with a human, but we know it's dangerous to let it happen at all.

[tormado]

So we don't actually know what the shard does, but we do know there's one in this city, somewhere, and we think it could be with the Prime Minister.

...I suddenly find myself really hopin' these robot spies find it. Are they good robot spies?

[predomination]

They're very advanced audio recorders, unfortunately. Unless someone is actively talking about it, they won't find anything...
