No, nothing like that actually. A lot of the raves are run by a group of Funkotroni expats. Jen just didn’t know what to look for in the gummys.

(The Funkotroni have serious security to seal with that kind of person at the raves they throw, and many of them are off-duty NAPD, specifically to deal with them properly.)

Lost track of the color code. It happens, especially with the lighting they usually have at these things. They really need to start coding them by shape instead.

Or Phoenix Wright.

Who better than her?

It might be, but if I was going to try a plan like that, I'd at least like a past record of various EoJ responses.

"Hmm. If we hit a bank in the Claremont district at night, we're more likely to get one of the Titans or the Bats. But a fake kidnapping here...that has a 68% chance of drawing out Hellbringer, Gryphon, or another Detian."

"68%? Is that the best we've got?"

"Without risking another team on a bait op to draw attention, yeah."

Insert humorous comment here.

Punch line: They didn't even take into account the 15-percent chance that they'd get the Stig.

He's not the Stig, he's the Stig's cousin with no taste in movies.

He's not the Stig, he's a very naughty boy!

Yes, but they figured it might be a good test on them, too. I mean, why not give it the best possible range of tests?

The Zardon Justice Department does not like admitting to possible mistakes, like when a secret black project allows their pet biotechnology to be stolen by Big Fire infiltrators, especially to outsiders who should technically not know about it even if they are an allied law enforcement agency. As said in that first CSI story, "The Justice Department is a harsh mistress."

No, but classically he's been a Spider-Man villain, and I gave a nod to that in the comment he's worked the less than legal side of the biotech scene.

I told Gryph he wouldn't need to go back and make changes on my previous credits, so I think that would be acceptable. If you could bounce me a link in a private message on release, I'd like to read it.

Can do. Just, uh, I don't really know how many months from now it'll take me to get to those two or three sentences...
