What the heck are you all complaining for?

"I hope you're happy," "You're getting the people who don't want to fight involved," "Stop fighting you're just making Grady angry."

Keh.

Just because some of you might want to stay here doesn't mean the rest of us do. 'M not the type to give up, and I'm not going to be still be here working as some

What's so wrong with being a detective, anyway?

[kaitopants]

Detectives are stupid. [said with all the conviction that this is the most obvious thing in the world]

[lafillebleue]

My dad does some of that kind of work, Kaito.

And there are a lot of good people on the force who are detectives.

[kaitopants]

Your dad couldn't catch a criminal handcuffed to a jail cell.

Like who. Hakuba?

... Protecting others is my function. It's one thing for those involved to get themselves scrapped, but it's another entirely when innocents are dragged into the mess.

That is my issue.

[kaitopants]

No one's getting hurt. No one has gotten hurt because of what we did. A few hours of brainwashing is nothing.

[weaponsparked]

Ah, you forgot one important counter argument.

"Yet." No one has been harmed yet. Considering the last time said "over-sized balding officer" was unhappy, there was a drone revolt and acid rain? I don't think expecting the worst is out of line.

[kaitopants]

Then we'll go out of our way to protect the innocents if something like that does happen again. We can't just not do anything at all.

THANK you!

[If you could see him, Raz would be throwing his arms up in a "HALLELUJAH" motion right now]

[kaitopants]

Someone needed to say it!

[ra_ra_razputin]

Talk about no respect! I mean, jeez!

[kaitopants]

It's not that we're trying to get innocent people hurt. We'll make sure they don't, we just need to get out in the process!

[artwithknives]

Your logic is all wrong.

[kaitopants]

Not as wrong as the logic of people who don't want us to fight back at all.

[artwithknives]

No, it's just as wrong! You can speak on high like that but what if they decide to stop bringing people back to life and start using hostages? Would it still feel good standing on that creaky pedestal of justice? I bet it would start getting a little cramped when you realize that you might have escalated whatever kind of warfare is already going on.

[kaitopants]

Like I told Sideswipe, the innocent don't have to get involved if they don't want to. We'll fight back, and we'll make sure they don't get hurt.

[braided_icarus]

You know I'm with you, Kaito.

[kaitopants]

Good. We need all the support we can get.

[braided_icarus]

Of course. Either way, you and Simon know I'm in.

[kaitopants]

Glad someone here is with us.
