Think hello!

Comment and I'll get back to you -- voicemail, videomail, textmail, telepathic messages, they're all good.

 

Email: eeb1@pobox.com
AIM: booksbeth

I check email more often than I log into AIM, so that's usually the best way to reach me, but feel free to say hello if you see me on AIM, and I can chat there at length if we meet up by prearrangement or happy coincidence.

telepathy

[Mentally, he's not exhausted, simply tired. There's strain showing around the egdes, and it's effecting the fine tuning of his mental volume, making him a little loud.]

Emma.

Here. What is it, Michael?

[A moderate concern for Michael, and a stronger one for the general situation, is deliberately projected with the query.]

Did you see the news feed this morning?

[Ignoring the concern directed at him - he'll be fine.]

Yes. Kevin's lawyer says he can't talk to me about it and thinks that the fact that the law singles out age makes the question of age a triable issue of fact that he was planning to research.

...

I have more immediate concern for Kevin's ... self-control. I would have urged him to practice periods of time without using his powers if I had had more time to mentor him in. I would not have urged him to stop using them overnight and let the desire build to the boiling point.

Bail is being applied for; the occasional perception of Newcomers as being able to just go home is a problem, as is the severity of the charges.

Since when is someone being willing to discuss a matter with you an issue?

As do I, which is why I was urging Julian to have him speak to me rather than through Julian.

The Core's ability to hold Newcomers is a moot point. Bail or not. I still maintain this wasn't a legal arrest.

Since I was trying to have a conversation with someone whom I don't trust with the information that I can read his mind at range? He was planning to have a paralegal find cases in which physical evidence as to age of animals had been admitted since he didn't believe there was precedent for physical tests as to age of humans, if you mean what else he was thinking.

You realize unless we get Kevin released to our custody either on bail or as a minor, technically we'll be kidnapping him long enough to get his addiction partly under control.

Can you think of a case where a Newcomer vanished from the prison itself, or from direct observation? In terms of legal arrest, I agree but that won't help Kevin - even if they throw out the evidence, now that they know who they can just ask him the same questions and get the same answers.

If you want to spite Batman and/or make it clear the precedent does not allow a private individual - one with a legal bounty on his own head if I recall correctly - to waylay an individual after Sirens and drag him even to the police, be my guest. Let me know if I can help. Even if I weren't angry I don't like the precedent.... SERO/AGI could claim that the person they were apprehending for medical research/slavery had been intended for the police.

It's not as if Kevin lives in hiding, would have been difficult for the police to find, or had a bounty on his head by name. Someone couldn't be bothered to do it that way, or more likely just plain wanted to do it himself.

Which reminds me. When Batman angered you, could he have been trying to create villain to hunt?
