Secret meeting with Shelley - Planetarium - Wed, approx 8:30 PM

The letter under her door was to the point: "Planetarium at 8:30. Need to talk to you as a friend and storyteller. Come armed if you'll feel better. -Caine."

If she does, he's waiting, and closes the door after her. He holds up the journal. "Probably shouldn't look at this yet. I'm absolutely sure it counts as disclosing my experimental or control status, and I'm not keen on either of us Blissing Out in a place like this."

He's dead serious. Not a completely different person, but more, say, what happens when Keenan goes to war. And he has gone to war before, if his stories from home are to be believed.

Private conversation with Mikami - Tuesday - KC's room, approx 9 PM

I have important info about our situation. Can't reveal all of it but there are things I can talk about and ask. My room, 9 today, alone. Armed if it makes you feel better. - Caine.

Indeed, Caine is waiting in his room. He closes the door behind him, then picks up a black notebook.

"Showing you what's inside this is... probably against the rules, right now," he says. "It's got stuff I've been thinking about, that I've noticed. I want the actual detective here, among others I've told, to know I've got it in case something changes."

To the point. Direct. Not quite as childish as Mikami is used to him seeing, but not out of character for a self-described soldier.

"There ARE some questions I think are safe to ask. That I want a gumshoe like you thinking about. You saved our asses last trial, Mikami. With any luck I can help you save us all."
