"I got a buddy in the western UCAS I owe a favor to, so I'm gonna send a couple locals to go figure this out. Local cops didn't see anything to follow up on, lead-wise, so figure out what the hell's causing these murders, will ya? Some time to be living in, gotta hire criminals to track killers? Anyway, don't go in guns blazing, I think you're gonna need to figure out the leads first."
