Addressing: Rebel </i>​</div><br/><br/>"Outside patrol right now just needs to help folks to move on, however that needs to go. I don't want them to run in a panic and I don't want to hurt anyone, but those that come back or take all this too personal.. You can imagine how that's going to look to me. There is very little I won't do in order to protect Abendblume and my family within it." Hale was honest about that, at least.<br/><br/>"I've been working to make sure that loyalties are where they need to be," he explained.<br/><br/>"I've released these people all for various reasons, but like the situation with Sou-yeon, nothing was as straightforwards as it seems and much of it should remain private. No need to start airing everyone's dirty laundry, simply because people want an explanation. They aren't entitled to knowing every single little detail about everyone in the community." He imagined that privacy would appeal to Rebel.<br/><br/>"Everyone on the outside has the potential to be an enemy, because they aren't one of us. Things are getting desperate now. No longer are these the panicked stragglers, but rather those that have had to rely on cunning and trickery and dishonestly to get by, so make sure you and the rest of the patrol are acting accordingly. I apologize you had to learn about Sou in this way." Hale frowned, then pushed off the desk, keeping it to the point. Brief was better, especially when they were all still dealing with unorganized chaos.<br/><br/>"Now, if there's anything I can get you, please let me know. I'm sure there are other matters that need my attention, but if you would like to discuss this in more detail, or your further contribution to the community, I can have it scheduled," Hale told Rebel, moving towards the door. Greg had everything ready for Rebel packed away neatly in its cases, stacked on the counter.
