>You try not to dwell on it and go get some breakfast. A bowl of cereal ought to do it.
>As you gather breakfast, you check on Archer. She tells you that everything's been fine all night, if boring as hell. Apparently there have been some traffic snags visible from the roof, but otherwise nothing of interest.
>As you eat, you check various news sites. The response is...not good. Practically every article is full of shock and "How could this possibly happen?" Comment sections are full of regressives blaming every left wing cause under the sun. Left wing response has been split between a responding "THANK GOD!" and others chiding for taking such a low road, which is quickly devolving into a circular firing squad as it usually does. Government response has been mixed; some are fairly measured, and others are entirely content to invoke this as casus belli for something. A 3 AM tweet from the president probably sums up the latter sentiment the best: "When we find out who's killing our finest citizens, we're gonna bomb the HELL out of them, believe me! There will be nothing left!"
>Midway through breakfast, Archer returns and plops down on the couch.

>"Well, the news is about as bad as you'd expect when someone as visible and polarizing as Koch ends up murdered. Some people are angry, some people are cheering, some people are angry at the people who are cheering. I wish I could say I knew how any of this is going to work out in the end."
>Can we see any news info pertaining specifically to credible theories or the police investigation locally?
Tashi:
> This couldn't be all. Surely not. If we take Assassin's Noble Phantasm into account...

>Archer nods. "I'm surprised that anyone would be on his side. But then again, a lot of things about this place surprise me."
>As far as local news goes, there hasn't been much announced. Apparently the bullet type has been released. On the speculation side, there's all sorts of people putting up their their theories about fantasy assassins; who are generally foreign and not white. It kind of reminds you of things you heard about the Oklahoma City Bombing back in the day, when the news was salivating over the prospect that one of the bombers was of Middle Eastern descent. In fact, it seems at least one local news network is going for exactly that. Others seem to be keen to blame Black Lives Matter or The Black Panthers (new and old, if they even know the difference), Antifa movements, George Soros, Jews as a whole, or liberals in general since they are the real nazis.
