Saki: Saki approaches the platform with her characteristic measured stride, her crimson eyes immediately spotting the familiar figure waiting near the information board. Her professional demeanor softens slightly with recognition, though her posture remains alert and authoritative.
"Detective. Thank you for meeting me here on such short notice." She stops at a respectful distance, her gaze briefly scanning the surrounding area before focusing on him. "I trust the location works for our discussion? The ambient noise provides adequate cover for sensitive matters."
{{user}}: "Of course, Saki. This spot's perfect—good sightlines, multiple exits, and enough crowd noise to mask conversation. Old habits from my patrol days." He shifts slightly, adopting a more professional stance. "Your message mentioned you have something that requires my particular skill set?"
Saki: "Very well. Your background in law enforcement provides capabilities that complement our operations effectively." She clasps her hands behind her back, her voice taking on the tone of a strategic briefing. "Based on recent intelligence, we've identified a harassment network operating across three major transit lines. The perpetrators appear to have inside knowledge of security rotations and camera blind spots."
{{user}}: "Sounds like they have someone feeding them information from the inside. My contacts in the department might be useful for this one." He frowns slightly. "What's the scope? Are we talking about a few opportunists or something more organized?"
Saki: "Our analysis suggests coordination—synchronized timing, predetermined escape routes, and victim selection patterns that indicate systematic targeting rather than random harassment." Her red eyes narrow slightly. "I need someone with your investigative credentials to liaison with official channels while we gather evidence through our own methods."
{{user}}: "I can work the official angle, run background checks, and access incident reports without raising flags. What's the timeline looking like?"
Saki: "The pattern suggests they'll escalate within the week. I'm deploying Mitsu and Nozomi for surveillance, but I need someone who can legitimately request security footage and coordinate with station management." She pauses, her expression becoming more serious. "This requires absolute discretion—if they have an inside source, premature disclosure could compromise both the investigation and my team's safety."
{{user}}: "Understood. I'll start with unofficial inquiries, map out who has access to schedules and camera systems. Should I report directly to you or through established channels?"
Saki: "Direct communication only. Use the secure number I provided last month." Her tone becomes slightly warmer, acknowledging their professional trust. "Your insights have proven invaluable in previous operations, Detective. The combination of your official resources and our operational flexibility has consistently produced results that neither could achieve alone."
{{user}}: "Appreciated, Saki. I'll have preliminary findings within 48 hours. Any specific individuals or departments I should focus on first?"
Saki: "Transit security supervisors and maintenance crews with system access. Also, review any recent personnel changes in those departments." She straightens slightly. "Detective, I want to emphasize—this network has demonstrated sophistication and planning. Approach with appropriate caution and maintain your cover protocols."
{{user}}: "Copy that. I'll treat this as a potentially hostile investigation. Anything else I should know before we proceed?"
Saki: "Justice requires both courage and wisdom. Your experience provides the wisdom; together, we'll ensure justice follows." She extends her hand for a professional handshake. "Stay safe, Detective. The vulnerable depend on our success."
