[.... Why, Jaune?

Just why.]

... Don't say it over these things. [Jaune!!!] If you have something of worth to report, I will meet you somewhere.

There's no time!!!!

[ Wow, he's yelling?? ]

Listen! Remember that CEO of Ceres that's been missing for a while? Julius Vincere? Well, guess what, t-turns out he's dead! Like for real!

[ Jaune runs a finger by his neck, even though Sousei can't see him. ]

Got stabbed right in the back!! Or... or the front. I'm... not quite sure, I'm still gonna need to double-check my facts, but... but yeah.

[ Guess who's reporting Old News to you, Sousei. ]

He's, uh... pretty dead.

[...............................oh.

he really should have known.]

Stop yelling.

[He's exasperated, but otherwise his tone is as level as ever.]

Yes, we all saw that broadcast. It was rather difficult to miss, and I'm aware of the states of Julius Vincere and Lucius Octavii.

[A pause, as he considers that. He's been here long enough that now that he's thinking about it, that's--strange...

Elia wasn't in that broadcast. They'd all been working together, hadn't they?]

...There was not a third man there, correct?

[ Unfortunately, Jaune hasn't been around long enough to know there is a third guy. USELESS DUCKLING IS USELESS. ]

...No? I-I mean, not at the crime scene. Wait, why? Think he did it? We should tell the police!

Calm down.

[calm down!!!!]

That doesn't mean that he did it, but it is strange we have heard nothing from him. Elias Segej was his name. If you are going to focus your efforts on investigating, investigate that.

W-Whoa.....

Are you...

Are you trusting me with a mission?! Like, for real? This isn't one of those "I'll send Jaune on a wild goose chase so I don't have to train him" deals, right?

Are you capable of it? Or are you going to continue to waste both of our time?

[Look, he doesn't have a lot of patience right now, murders happened.]

[ GASP. SO IT IS FOR REAL. ]

O-Okay!! I'll do it! Special Agent Arc is all over it, don't you worry!

Is there anything you can tell me about him? Something that can maybe point me in... some kind of direction? .......Anything at all? Maybe a picture?

I do not have a picture of him, but he addressed the community at large once. Dark red hair, blue-green eyes. He seemed to be a programmer of sorts.

[...]

And very fond of giraffes.

A programmer... and giraffes. I should start at the zoo, then.

[ ... ]

Wait.

Wait a minute.

I just realized something...

[ This could either be a flash of brilliance or something stupid. ]

[he's incredibly aware that it could be either of those things.

he's probably going to regret this, isn't he....

Longsufferingly--]

What is it, Arc?

I was just thinking, when you described what he looks like... I-I mean, that Mosley guy who was holding the camera... I haven't seen what he looks like either.

And if I know anything about plot twists [ because he loves his movies. ] I'd bet that they're the one and the same! Maybe old Elly has been right under our nose the whole time!

[It isn't a bad idea as such.

It's just--]

Their voices were definitely different. I have heard both of them speak now, and they were not the same.

So that's one theory out of the window...

I guess that just leaves me with the zoo. This is good, we're narrowing it down. We're gonna catch that guy any day now!

I'll keep you posted, Captain Bossman Sir!!

[A sigh, faint as it is. At least Jaune is...directing all of that energy to something...sort of useful???

He's trying to look at the bright side here.]

Yes, yes. Do what you can.

[He won't even say "report your findings" because he's pretty sure JAUNE WILL...WHETHER HE TELLS HIM TO OR NOT

Which is why he'll also save Jaune the effort and hang up as well.

That was......almost productive???]
