Good plan. I'm still surprised she ... did this. Did she happen to harass you publicly before? I can go check it out.
[Kate's impression of Lizzie was that she was nice, but nothing about this screams "nice."]

No, I mean, she seemed really nice in public, and then she asked me like the next day and offered to do chores? But I wanted a few days to get back into things before I dealt with like. Loki and missing Teddy and Tommy and other emotional stuff, you know?
[Man she made him feel guilty and selfish about it, too.]

Okay, but why come back to you when she already got the information from me? Any ideas?
[She's trying to piece this together. Especially in light of what Freddie told her. Porter radiation has literally only been mentioned in specific scenarios. She even kept it off the FAQ.
And Kate doubts Loki's floating it around anywhere.]

Maybe she thought that I was...hiding something from you?
But then why would I tell her if I wasn't telling you?

Or she didn't trust my information. But that doesn't make sense, because she still came to me.
In the newspapers and in official reports. Where else? What about normal people? Do people get in trouble for speaking their minds?

Did our anonymous friend come across this information through any sourced channels? From what I understand, the government explains a lot of things away through radiation. I wouldn't spout that off for sure. Even some people's godly talents are explained by this mysterious "radiation." You see what I'm getting at?
It does seem like she overheard it, hence why I'm curious about the channels.
The names are Ruka and Kanaya Maryam.

I'm not telling you her channels. Needless to say, they sound feasible.
and brb, giving Ananke a call.

[ one phone conversation later ]
she neither confirmed nor denied it, but got noticeably hostile after I mentioned that the decrease in radiation was linked to when the porter shut down.
I'm sending this to print. This stuff is gold.

Freddie, you need a linked source. I'm not a journalist, and even I know that.
Tattlecrime is a TABLOID. How many times has the Enquirer said that so and so was having wild sex parties without any proof of it? Besides, Ananke's refusal to deny my claim speaks wonders.
It speaks volumes, but have you even looked into my names? Have you contacted them? Plus, the "radiation" doesn't make sense combined with the information. They voluntarily shut down the Porter before. So why would the radiation become smaller in its amount?
You know what you could do? You could be the journalist responsible for blowing the lid off the government's BS. That could be you.
But you can't do it without a named source. Without named SOURCES.
No one will believe you. Especially right now. Too much dirty crap is in the air, and you saying "I heard something from an anonymous source" is going to sound like you made it up. And then the conversation with Captain Ananke, that can be misinterpreted or reinterpreted too, I bet.
Think about it.

Anne's anonymous and I'm shooting Kanaya and Ruka texts now. I know I'm not going to get any named sources because why the hell would someone in the government confess or deny it to me, of all people?
Sure the details of the file leak were wrong, but it at least spurred the government into action (as well as blowing up the traffic). The most I can hope to do is make a big enough stink that the government has to address it somehow.

Okay, but look at it the way I would reinterpret your conversation with Ananke:
"Wow, Miss Lounds. Why would she want to have a conversation with you or even entertain your questions after all the trouble you've solved?"
You have a bigger story. I recommend you try to find it. This won't fly right now.

But if the dots to connect don't show themselves, I'm running with what I have, bigger story be damned. After all, Lunatic can't keep killing people forever. I'll need new material eventually.
I have psychometry. You give me a hint of what Anne's source happened to be, and I might be able to verify it.
I need to know this, too, and I admit I don't want it tabloided up before we get it.

It's going to get tabloided up no matter what. I'm me. And I'm not going to tell you the full extent of what I know until AFTER I've put it out by myself first.
Then let's make a deal. I confirm it, I don't let it outside of me and my team (my surprisingly secretive team) until you publish.
And I can try to verify your source.

Loki, Billy, America, me. I'm going to be doing a recruiting drive, but no one new will be let in on it.
Loki especially will appreciate this choice of mine. America will support it, and she's not the blabby type.
And Billy and I need to know what's up.

Billy and America are fine. Billy saw the Porter first hand and I don't think this America chick will blab.
But you cannot expect me to trust someone who styles themselves after the god of MISCHIEF.

He doesn't style himself after the god of mischief. He is the god of mischief.
And given that absolutely no one from your world is honest (NO ONE), you cannot judge him. You're not even anywhere near a position of "it makes sense for Freddie Lounds to judge him."

[ yeah, she's about to rebut that "Abigail Hobbs is totally honest!!!" but no. Abigail isn't. her world is full of liars. ]
Get Loki to promise to me to keep his damn mouth shut and then you'll get the information.

So for clarification, what I'm telling you is strictly between you, Billy, and America.
