DONE
From recent events, I can see that there is definitely anger and resentment among the status quo. However, to achieve my goals, I need the status quo to exist. So I would like to know your intentions more than your personal reference.

And besides, they're unitmates. It just makes sense to be.... mostly open. ]
I will report back to B and Intensity— that shouldn't be a surprise. But the purpose of I2, first and foremost, is the life, health and safety of its inhabitants. If people want to run off on their own, like Hurricane and Nem, we want them to be aware of the risks posed— ah, although none of us knew they were going to do that, but that's the flaw of an opt-in system. So long as the audition idols aren't an overt threat, we're going to keep the specifics about audition idols to ourselves. The last thing anyone wants or needs is a witch hunt, certainly not half our unit. I'm not here to pass judgement or make assumptions. I just want to know what you think.
no subject
What do you mean overt threat?
no subject
I mean community-wide, no room for plausible deniability, clearly tied to the aforementioned spymaster violence.

I do not mean to be confrontational. Tell me, besides the well being of the inhabitants here, what is your goal? Though I suspect the answer is more akin to break free from the shackles of Hell rather than play the game and return home.

Tenshouin-san said that was a waste, considering how hard I work, but that's just what I do. The same way investigating is also what I do. If I don't know something, I do my best to get to the bottom of it.
no subject
Thus, your intentions have become clear. What of the rest of I2?
no subject
I can't speak for everyone else's motives, just that everyone is tired of people disappearing without telling a soul, resulting in slapdash rescue attempts that are just as harmful. The welfare of the general populace and ideally, discouragement of going on expeditions without adequate planning are the primary goals. Distribution of information relevant to their lives, health and safety is the secondary one.
no subject
Not that goal.
Such an uproar we did see. Such passionate people. Such resentment for the Production. I've met enough heroes and heard the tales. Do the community as a whole not wish to see the Production topple? Does your I2 agency?
This is where our mutual cooperation may come to difficulties. I need the Production in place, whole and able to provide graduation. If you can assure me that, you have my cooperation.
no subject
Idealistic enough to think that attacking the Producers is a fast track to a happy ending. I'm sure at least a few are seeking the same boon as you. We aren't a resistance group. I'm sure those exist, and they have access to the same notes everyone else has, but not what we discuss.
no subject
If we can, I will inquire further upon your request.
no subject
That being said, the only ones I'd speak to would be Intensity and B. Even if the other members of i2 have been vetted, I don't know them well enough to ensure their reaction will be the same as mine.
no subject
[He sighs.]
And I do not mean to take my frustration out upon you. I would much prefer to work together than not. Between the two of us, I doubt it would have taken much to reconcile. I will vet your peers as I have little time or patience for would be heroes.
Though if I might ask a personal question in return. I do know you are dedicated heavily to your work, but if all you wish is to return home, what do you get out of ensuring the safety of the masses? BARiTONES benefits, of course, but do you truly feel so strongly about their security?
no subject
It probably doesn't need to be hidden, but given the negative sentiments about the Producers— that one in particular... discretion is best.
As for why I do it... I don't really want or expect anything in return. I saw the need, and felt what little experience I have in that capacity could be useful, so I provided it. It's not as though I have any strong feelings about the Producers, or the system, or that my struggles entitle me to anything, be it more lenient treatment or some reward.

Though I would recommend finding a passion other than being a cog in an elaborate machine. ...Or perhaps you already have, and I am uncharitably belittling it.
Thank you for your candor, Miss Yvette. I will make my inquiries and hopefully be able to provide you with the same.
