Are you awake?

I know it's late, but I do not think I can sleep before I

I may be in need of your judgement.

And your expertise.

1) Why are YOU awake?
2) But luckily! My judgment is. What's up?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] Long night. I'm unwinding.
[......]
[2] Do you know anything about Nathan Milbury?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] Did you have fun??
[2] [...] No. But I can change that. Why?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] No. But that wasn't my aim.
[2] Did you?
[...]
[3] Somethings off about him. If there's more to know about him, I think it would benefit us to know it.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] I was pretty busy. So. Yeah.
[2] What was your aim?
[3] I'll look into him. Off how?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] Is that all it takes?
[2] You've seen the headlines since Emma and I were made public. I need to [...] rehabilitate my public image when I have the chance. As much as such a thing is possible.
[3] Gracias, Gatita.
[.....]
[4] I don't know.
[5] He's not a known mutant, from what I can tell, but I couldn't sense his emotions at all. And there was something about his eyes. [...] All of which could mean nothing. Many mutants prefer to keep a low profile. I can understand that. [...] But he was asking a lot of questions about the team. And something about him put me on edge.
[6] It's intuition. I suppose.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] I am very easily amused, yeah
[2] Feel all rehabilitated?
[3] […] I trust your intuition more than most and he sounds shady. And if he got in here he has money to spend on that investigation. Certain degree of power.
[4] Give me a day or two. Sweep your stuff for any listening devices or cameras.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] Honestly? I do not think it made a difference.
[...]
[2] I appreciate that.
[3] Your trust and your help.
[4] Let me know what you find out.
[...]
[5] You think he had the opportunity to plant something like that?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] You shouldn’t have to prove anything to them anyway.
[2] Ofc. His Facebook is weird but I’m on it already
[3] Yes. No fault of yours. They’re just small.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...]
[1] It only hurts the team if I don't, no?
[...]
[2] A fair but unsettling point. I'll see if I can find anything.
[3] Weird how?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] You're not going to hurt the team.
[2] We're behind you. No matter what people think. Or what happens. Our actions speak for themselves.
[3] Like imagine him in a Christmas sweater.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[x] I already have.
[......]
[1] We're getting off-topic.
[2] A Christmas sweater is more tacky than troubling, no?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] there can be more than 1 topic
[2] It's in the stance. His family might being held hostage or they're just serious. Idk.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] I prefer to focus.
[......]
[2] Perhaps you'll find some context when you get deeper into the search than Facebook.
[3] What's the family situation? He was alone at the gala, no?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] Can't you focus on more than 1 thing?
[2] I will. I don't want to do that this late but I will.
[3] No wife or kids. Looks like maybe siblings. Parents. I'm going to try to see if I can find where they live and go to work/school to verify.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[......]
[1] Perhaps it is too late for subtlety. [...] I appreciate your reassurances, but I disagree with your premise and I don't want to argue. Is that fair?
[2] You don't have to do it now. Even you work better when you're rested.
[3] Makes sense. If you can verify any part of his presentation is a front, that will tell us something.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[1] [...] Okay.
[2] Tells us a lot. Why hide if you don't have anything to hide.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...]
[1] Gracias.
[x] I do not mean to be
[...]
[2] Exactly that.
[3] I hope I'm wrong; I know my guard goes up when anyone can shut me out. But I can't shake this feeling.
[...]
[4] No cameras or listening devices, at least.
