Receive data on Au Revoir's role in the murders

Your secret pass phrase once again allowed you access into the highly sensitive report prepared by Telegram. Last time, the thing had read with a tone of fun and adventure. You expected to see that they'd sobered up this time around, since this was their last investigation assignment as part of the task ****-- and a very dangerous intel collection at that. Instead, the person's words read as though they'd been having the time of their life and were only upset that they couldn't research the Goodbye Girls any further. You thought to yourself: if this whole job was so fun, maybe this Telegram member should be the handler from now on?

Of course, those sarcastic, bemused remarks would only last you so long... Once you got into the report and read into the discoveries, it was clear to you that all time for fun and games had nearly run out. {if Au Revoir's Role> 1999}

Wait a minute... You'd actually heard all of this from your agent already!{endif}

-FOR YOUR EYES ONLY-

I've got the scoop you've been hoping I'd get my hands on this whole time. The heart of the mystery! The truth behind the deaths of the former Ciaos. I'll keep my info to just what you need to know, for the sake of professionalism, but geez, the things I could tell you! I could make your head spin if we ever got a time to sit down and chat about this agent!

So, when you think of the three dead handlers, you probably think of a single killer, right? I can't say about their motivations, but I can tell you this: the manners of **** were so different, if you set the bodies side by side, you'd think you were looking not just at three different **** flick murderers, but three different genres of film. The first: neck snapped. The second: throat slit. The third? Beaten to a bloody, nearly unrecognizable pulp.

The first and the second could have been anyone, but if you saw the sealed up pics of that third guy-- and trust me, they were sealed up for decency as much as anything else-- a certain culprit would come to mind. This guy was brutalized with blunt **** trauma and left lying. He may have fought back, but you could barely call it fighting. Broken bones. Torn ligaments. A shattered spine. Blood everywhere. Whoever killed this guy, they made mince-meat out of him. Can you think of a Goodbye Girl who'd be capable of that? I'm sure one comes to mind...

But why?

I'll tell you what I learned about the guy and you can do your own thinking. This one was an unpopular sort of guy; the moment he came in, he mouthed off to everyone about "the truth." Somehow, he was determined he knew something that pointed towards the culprit or culprits of the first two murders and he was going to treat his assignment as a way to complete the theory. At the time, he looked like tinfoil hat kinda guy, probably, though I suspect everyone got nervous once they found him like this. If you ask me, someone wanted to make a message out of him: "dig at your own risk." In hindsight, the fact that Goodbye never told you more about this guy is almost cruel... I doubt she could even make herself speak about it. Her being so nervous all the time could be connected too.

Would someone kill this guy so awfully just because he was digging around? The guy didn't have CEDIT support; he was basically going off a hunch. He wasn't a big danger to anyone. Can you imagine the guy just getting straight up turned into dog food over that? I'm telling you, Au Revoir did it, but I think her reason for doing it could be a little what you're used to by now: **** and Adder brainwashing. There's the question of who gave her the order and what she was thinking when she did it, but I can just about guarantee you she was the one who beat the guy to ****.

Au Revoir cares about you, Ciao, even if you don't care about her. I'd keep all of this under your hat for a bit. I have a feeling if you try to blow the lid on this thing, you'll be the hamburger meat in the next photograph. For her sake as much as yours, you shouldn't act recklessly. She didn't care about this guy, that much is clear, but if she had to do the same thing as you... I think her mind would probably be lost for good. Hopefully the bond between the two of you is enough that she'd think twice before she clobbered you.

Well, that's enough of my theories and investigations. Hey, if you still wanted to believe Au Revoir was innocent in all of this, I'm sorry I had to break it to you that she was involved. I really wanted to think the best of her too.

This is going to be our last time talking... You barely know me, but I know a heck of a lot about you by this point. Doesn't really seem fair... Maybe once things cool down, I'll come introduce myself in person? Do me a favor and don't die before then, okay?

Signing off!
