call

[momchester]

Kurt and I tried talking to the media. Five different- five.

call

[hejhej]

They're not interested in the story.

Why would they be? We're Newcomers.

[momchester]

No shit.

[She barely swears- or she didn't used to. She's really fucking upset.]

They said they're not interested in the "Newcomer agenda." [A harsh, bitter laugh.] Agenda. What crap.

[hejhej]

Then I guess the peaceful way isn't working.

[As she expected.]

[momchester]

I don't know. I'm gonna find someone who'll listen to me, but until then- I don't know. I don't know how to fight something like this, all I can do is shoot things and kill vampires.

[hejhej]

You don't physically fight. You bring it down from the inside.

[momchester]

How?

[hejhej]

Infiltrate. Take out the infrastructure.

Spencer is too big for us right now. We have to take out each hunter separately.

Send a message to the masses.

[She's a little psycho okok]

[momchester]

How do you do that?

[hejhej]

You become part of their world.

[There's a long pause, as if the call has dropped. But it's just Lisbeth thinking things over.]

I did it once. Back home. Emptied billions all around Europe to an account in the Canary Islands from a crooked financial mogul. He ended up being murdered a week later because some of his men couldn't find their money.

[momchester]

Wow.

That's... something. But how do you start?

[hejhej]

You pick an identity, pose as someone associated with them. Find out if they're affiliated with AGI or SERO or anyone else.

[momchester]

I can't do that. I have a life- I've been in the news.

[hejhej]

[Really, Mary.]

Change your appearance. Wigs, eye contacts, new clothes, different make-up. You'd be amazed what it can do.

[momchester]

That doesn't fly here. Even setting aside the superpowers, everyone on the island is accounted for. It's a closed world- if they don't know who I am and can't trace it, they'll know I'm a Newcomer. And that'll make them look harder.

Maybe you can do that. I don't think I can. I can act, sure, but- there was a statue of me in a public park, god knows why.

[hejhej]

[Another pause.]

I can get you documents. Citizenship papers, put your name in the system, social security number.

You have to trust me on this.

[momchester]

[There's an even longer pause. It's tempting. It is.]

It sounds- it- but it sounds dangerous, too. I have a child to take care of. If I'm putting myself in danger, it'll be with something I know I'm good at.

-Other than infiltrating, is there anything?

[hejhej]

[She has another idea, but she doesn't like it because ew people.]

Seeing if there are others seeking revenge. Form a team.
