[Actually the Arisatos and Hanyuu are a bit of an overkill to add to that filter since they should know already but just in case...]
Just a small heads up to the lot of you, not that it has happened that I can remember but... I won't be answering to any call through the journals unless it's filtered as high as you can.
Which means that, Elicia, you tell your dad beforehand if you want to call me for something.
[A pause.]
Actually if any of you have problems with filters or something just call for Souji instead, I'll answer if it's any of you calling.
[That sounded casual enough, right? Let's hope no one goes into too much of a question mode as to why he suddenly wants to be so secretive with the journals.]
[Filtered to Ami ||70% 100% Unhackable]
Are you free to meet up and talk? [The library would sound good but he can almost imagine Takano there looking for information so... And the medical center at the battledome is as out of the question as anything that is related to medicine.] Does the lake sound all right with you?
[Filtered to Hughes ||70% 100% Unhackable]
Hughes-san, where could we meet to talk? Alone if possible as I told you.
[Hopefully it won't be a place where Keiichi can imagine Takano around easily. Though maybe he's just being a bit paranoid.]
[Filtered to Adell ||70% 100% Unhackable]
Oi, Adell, I think I heard around that you knew about one of those groups, Blue Rogues, I think? Can I ask you a few questions?
[Filtered to the Malnosso ||70% 100% Unhackable]
I... I'm not entirely sure how to do this... Can I talk with... Catherine, I think it was?
[Sincerely he has not much hope, he has been out of things for a while and who knows if that guy hasn't been changed or whatever. But he won't lose anything for trying, right?]

It's hard to tell where starts her own mind and where the syndrome. As far as I know the clinic was settled in before the dam project started even, or when it was starting. The curse only began months if not even a year later. More than enough time for her to get infected and go up some levels due frustration on having the research at a stalemate or something. I hadn't been in the village for more than a few months and I'm already infected so...
Still I think too that it may be a mixture of the two options given all that I know... You see if she had been successful in killing Rika... The next step would have been to gas the whole village and make it look like a natural disaster. But that may have come from the higher ranks she worked for and not from herself...
[It's hard to tell when the puppet is the culprit and when the puppeteer is the responsible one. At any rate Keiichi stops to think. More to the story? Actually yes, but he doesn't think it really matters. At least not now. He has told Adell about the syndrome, the medicine, Takano and what she was after. There's not much else to share, at least that he can think about now.]
No... At least now I can't remember anything more that needs to be told, but if I forgot something I'll let you know as soon as I remember.
[A sigh.]
That's why I was asking about monitoring... If we could get someone to keep an eye on her without her noticing or realizing it, we could be one step ahead of her if anything bad happens. Whether if it is her doing something to someone in the village or her hurting herself. And even if she did something, confinement wouldn't be a good idea, the syndrome would eventually just... Make her kill herself and the only way to avoid that would be to restrain her completely... Which is inhuman.
Back home... The guy that defended her when we got her, he was her boyfriend or something. He had been working with her but knew basically nothing of all the things they were doing. He was completely kept in the dark and used, she kept an eye on him that way... I suppose that would be the best way to monitor her, to have someone befriend her naturally, without her noticing that they are doing so to keep an eye on her, and have them keep an eye on her that way.
At least it worked for her.
[Action]
Just... arrgh. This is a completely lose-lose situation, and Adell would really like nothing more than to go down and just start kicking some ass to solve his problems. He misses those days a lot. That was the thing about the Netherworld! Solving problems was easy. You didn't need to be subtle.
Here though, as the leader of the Blue Rogues and dealing with mostly humans things got much more complex. And this whole Hinamizawa thing sounded almost like the dreams of a madman. Or some form of horror story.
Gassing the village after committing murder. Hell. Even if that wasn't Takano's idea, that's still disgusting and she might've still had a hand in it. But either way, it still doesn't change the fact that she hadn't done anything here yet.]
...Deception to that degree really isn't my style, man. And I don't know anyone who could or would be willing to pull that off. It's a lot to ask someone to do something like that. I can't really condone using methods that she would. Indirect monitoring's really the best I can do, and like I said, I'll have to go outside of the Rogues to do it.
I mean, I guess you can try it if you find someone who'd be willing to do it, but I've got no one who can. I personally couldn't ask anyone to do it, either way.
And I know imprisonment is going to be bad for her. But if she tries something against you or anyone else in the village, I'll be damned if I let her stay free and do it again, especially if she's as manipulative and dangerous as you allude to.
[He lets out a tired sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose.]
I know... this is something of a really sensitive area for you. You suffer from the Syndrome as well. And given we don't know how much of her actions are caused by the illness and where her mind is... we might be fighting and jailing the Syndrome, not Takano.
...If she tries something and we have to detain her, we'll do our best to figure out whether it's her or her illness that's causing problems. If we can figure it out, we'll just go from there. Does that sound fair?
