Our most volatile target was taken out on Sunday, Shi. I think we all also need to be prepared for the fact that it's not going to be as clean cut as "blame the murderous robot" from here on out.

[god, that's the worst.]
Going after people who can't fight back is despicable. [she clenches her fists because her hands are shaking with anger.] It's just - it's wrong.

Alright then. We figure out who it was, and we close this. We can't afford to mess it up again, especially not now.

That's incentive enough, isn't it? We have to catch someone, I just... y'know. Would prefer it was whoever killed Luca. That's my selfish request.
