[Video post/From Black's Rise Bracer/Backdated to early aftertoon/Locked to DATS but hackable]

[warp_ring_tech]

[The video starts to show BlackV-mon. He is someplace dark, the only light coming from the screen of his Rise Bracer. He gulps and looks around to make sure he is alone before speaking.]

This is BlackV-mon. I...I can't do this anymore. DATS, if you can hear this, I want to turn myself in. I can't keep running like I have been. I want to give myself up. I will accept any punishment you see fit. But...I have some information you will want. I want to give it to you but I don't trust the Comm network.

I want to meet with one of two agents and only them. These agents I know can be trusted and they are the only ones I'll meet. If either Daigo or Mr. Sanders sees this, please contact me and I'll set up a meeting with one or both of you. And only you. I don't know if anyone else in DATS is involved but it might be the case. I don't know.

Please, contact me as soon as you can. I don't know how long I can be gone until they notice.

[Black looks around again and ends the video feed.]

... you're seriously giving yourself up?

[forgive him if he seems ill convinced that this isn't some kind of trick]

I am, I swear. I...I can't do this anymore.

[The digimon sounds genuinely scared.]

Please believe me...

Re: [DATS lock/unhackable]

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

... okay.

[how to do this...]

Where are you currently?

Re: [DATS lock/unhackable]

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

I'm hiding in Neon City. I can't give my location over the Comm. I don't trust it. They might find out. I'll set up a location marker on where we can meet up. Promise me you won't bring anyone else except Daigo. I...I don't know who to trust besides you two.

If we're doing this, Mr. Sanders, we're doing it together.

I remember this one, things are rarely what they seem...

Daigo...

I...I remember what you told me...that day.

I...I'm sorry for what I did to you...

I believe your words, and I heard your soul.

It is your actions that will matter.

We will come to you shortly.

Re: [DATS lock/unhackable]

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

Then here.

[Attached: Location marker for downtown Neon City.]

I will meet you there in half an hour. Please hurry.

Re: [DATS lock/unhackable]

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

I'm aware. I was just about to call you.

Ready whenever you are, man.

Re: [DATS lock/unhackable]

[the-man-of-men.livejournal.com]

Very well. I will come to Neon HQ. We can prepare there.

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[not looking forward to it, but it has to be done]

[sage-of-x.livejournal.com]

You realize, this would be easier had you let me dispatch the female when I had the opportunity.

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

I...I know. I didn't have...

[He stops himself and sighs.]

I was confused then. Now I know what I must do.
