Case #48: Video

[19centconstable]

[It's formal announcement time! George stands in his cabin with his helmet tucked under one arm. The brass buttons on his uniform are particularly shiny.]

It's my duty to inform you all that Detective Hoffman is no longer my inmate.

[George lets that hang vaguely in the air for a moment, before continuing:]

Because Detective Hoffman has graduated! Please do heartily congratulate him. He has earned it.

Useless

[Stildyne isn't sure what to say, but he looks like he might be fighting a smile.]

[thinkb4ublink]

You're leavin'? [Actually, it's more a statement than a question, he just happens to not be certain of the answer.]

[made_a_choice]

That about fucking figures.

[most_feared]

[Hey, look at that! An actual smile from Kay!]

Good job to both of you. [He knows it wasn't easy on George either.]

The beginnings of a voice comment

[creatingalegacy]

[Amanda starts to say something, but just...

She can't. This is too complicated for too many reasons. She'll wait to talk to Hoffman.

The connection goes dead.]

[nolongerhollow]

Well done, both of you. Certainly he shall have my congratulations.

[Drac sounds a bit subdued, but he's sincere.]

He did it. I suppose I should find that a hopeful sign.

[timesbureaucrat]

Congratulations to both of you.

[Narvin ponders whether he should get something for Hoffman. That's the Earth custom for bosses when their lackeys have a big accomplishment, yes?]

[marshal_art]

Congratulations, Constable. I'm sure you're real proud.

[scentbombed]

Congratulations, George. You earned it, too.

Just have all of my CR

[themountie]

Excellent work, Constable Crabtree! I'm sure your superiors will be very pleased. And may I say, a fine job on those buttons.

ALL OF IT.

[yeahscience]

He what??

[psychic_hotline]

You must be Constable George Crabtree. I've only recently met Detective Hoffman, but he spoke very highly of you. Congratulations to both of you.

[some_kinda_hero]

[In which she flounders for a response.] I...well, glad you're sticking around. And...congratulations, Constable.

Private.

[yourunichase]

I'm glad you're staying. I'd hate to lose you.
