Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

"Yeah, if they've got a focus on the group," says Cade with a half-smile. "Then it's on the others, they'd think we're just the grunts."

When Diego heads out, Cade uses the webcam to keep an eye on the situation, watching Diego's back so to speak. Not only does Cade want a number count, as well as to gauge their activity, but he's curious to see if the vehicle is registered like the other one.

Nick reports the appearance of the van to the Cade via IM and suggests that maybe we should call the folks back at the institute and report what's going on before we do anything else.

Running the numbers of the new SUV indicates that it's registered to one Jon Jonston, a similarly non-existing person. On this check, Cade also finds that are certain protocols in place, which would warn off police from continuing an identity check on the vehicle and the person it's registered to. Checking the previous SUV discovers a similar protocol in place for it as well.

Meredith shifts uncomfortably in her seat, and finally snatches a napkin and writes on it. She then passes it around, looking a little embarrassed...and worried.

Do you think we can talk freely? Are they just watching, or are they listening in too?

Nick read's Meredith's note and simply shurgs. The expression on his face says everything: Good question. I wish I knew.

Once Diego makes his way backl around to Cade's location, he'll inform him of what he learned from running the SUV's plates.

He'll also IM the information to Nick and Larry.

Diego - still trying to walk casually - makes his way back around to Cade.

"Two MIBs" he explains. "Watched me like vultures. I don't like this. We should call the office and ask what they know, and what to do."

The concept of running home to daddy wasn't one that felt any good to Larry, but the Doc had shown good instincts so far. The black vans were a tad over the top, almost as if they wanted us to spot them. Meredith's paranoia seemed appropriate. Taking the napkin, he hastily scribbles:

Hav Cade talk 2 boss

To cover the written discussion in case they were been eavesdropped on, Larry begisn to tell a story of his experiences when he'd worked as a short order cook in a diner just like this one. He sprinkles some amusing anecdotes while the others keep their discussion going.

Nick will send the IM to Cade and suggest that they contact the Institute and notify them of the situation.

 

[Friadoc]

Once Cade gets the word from the others, he'll contact the Hoffmann Institute, however he will pull back a bit farther around the corner, letting Diego keep an eye out, for trouble.

Overall, Cade will give the Institute a sitrep (situation report) on where things currently stand (both the group being in two places and both of the SUVs), as well as what they've observed about the girl and her family, including possible theories.

The key point of Cade's contact will come at the end, in which he lets them know about the actions of the MiBs.

Cade feels confident in contacting the Institute via his laptop, due to 'Z' and her statements about the security of OSIRS.
