These past few weeks have been a little crazy. What sucks though is that Dad is gone. This place officially sucks. I mean, it sucked before, but it really sucks now. Also, I can't seem to find Mr. Barnaby, and I haven't seen anything from him on the network? I have to check his apartment, but...I think he's gone, too...

Yeah, this place sucks times a thousand. Maybe more.

Anyway, I went on my first mission! Not of my own choosing, of course, but it was fun, and I came back with some items, too! This music player is great since the Initiative hooked it up to the network, too, so I have the tablet and this. (Okay, so maybe they suck times 999 instead.)

Also, I mentioned it before, but Kido has a gang, and I'm a member of it now! I found a hoodie for my "official uniform" and it's really comfortable. I love it. Plus Kano & she are awesome in general. I'm glad I met them and have someone I can go to for advice, although I've spoken to many awesome older people, too.

All right, my shake appeared, and it would be a shame to let it get warm from me putting down my thoughts on paper.

[ The video feed comes on, and if her surroundings look familiar to a few Transports, it is because she is currently sitting in NORA cafe, treating herself to a milkshake as she munches on a piece of candy. ]

Hi! I was wondering if anyone who knows Barnaby Brooks Jr. has seen him lately, or if they know he is for sure gone? I haven't heard from him lately, nor seen him...

He is! Being the King of Heroes back home does mean he's held to a higher expectation by the people of the city.

"King of Heroes."

Sounds like a pretty big title to have.

It is, and he carries it well. Sky High did, too!

Sky High? You lost me there.

[ She giggles after she finishes sipping some of her milkshake. ] Sorry! Sky High is another Hero from back home. He's also held the title of "King of Heroes" in the past.

Gotcha. You planning on following in their footsteps?

Maybe. I would have to do some training to really master my powers, although I'm not sure how...

It just so happens you're in a place where the people running it want you to get stronger.

[ She nods as she puts a finger on her cheek. ] You're right, Kerrigan. I'll look into it. [ But she does have doubts about how helpful they can be with her powers. ]

Try not to have too much fun.

Right!! I'll talk to you again soon, Kerrigan!

I gotcha.
