So. How're we going to blackmail a mind reader?

Let's assume mind control and mind reading are the same thing.

Well, we're going to try to sell the pictures that prove that Utsuho is alive and had recently fought Nitori. That might be worth a little bit, but it's really not too terribly helpful for Satori and Rin. What WOULD be useful information, though, is the fact that Nitori's two assistants fled the base: if Satori and RIn can find them, then they can find Utsuho. However, we don't know that yet, so we'll have to hope that the opportunity to find the camera footage that shows them leaving will present itself.

Shouting "I have information about Utsuho" would probably get some attention.
