Details can be worked out. Ultimately, what's important is keeping people alive, and since we're often the first responders, it makes sense. I can tell him he has our support?
Why? Aren't always the first responders. Even if all of SEC were fully trained EMTs, still wouldn't be doctors. Med staff have got a job + we don't stop them doing it. Send out medical alerts whenever they're needed.
First, even if it were a stupid idea, he approached me quite politely and reasonably; I'm not going to respond to that with rudeness. Second, even if it were a stupid idea, it would still be one that fosters interdepartmental cooperation - something we have need of around here; we're harming ourselves and others by keeping to our own little corners, and if we cross over into others' then we'll be better and stronger for it. Third, even if it were a stupid idea, the fact remains that it's an idea and preserving the status quo certainly isn't helping anyone.
Finally, and most importantly: it's not a stupid idea. It's a very, very good one. Security is on the front lines; doctors aren't, and they shouldn't be.
[He frowns a bit at that. If there's one thing he doesn't expect from Tyke, it's her worrying about whether or not he's okay with something. So his response is relatively measured:]
It hardly matters whether I do or not; you're the head of security, and I follow your orders. That said, no; I don't mind speaking on others' behalf. Ultimately, that's what lawyers do.
[Another delay, considering and weighing her own gut instinct and experience against what Nathan Petrelli had said and how she usually deals with Edgeworth. But, eventually,]
[Not particularly like her to beat around the bush. He frowns slightly...but is also somewhat hopeful. One could not help but feel a sense of trepidation faced with such evasiveness - but, on the other hand, he likes having something to do.]
I suppose you would, though for what it's worth, you shouldn't. It's far more important that they trust you than they trust me.
Still; that answers my question. I'm not going to outright lie to them, just so you know. I'll phrase it as positively as I can, but I won't conceal the truth.
Team's a team. Not going to throw anyone out on something I wouldn't do myself.
Just tell them we're working on it. Reassure them. Encourage them about the team. Omit as much as you can. They do that no comment shit at conferences right?
[If it sounds like she might be repeating Nathan Petrelli's words and possibly not knowing what the hell she's talking about, that's because she is and she doesn't.]
They do that for journalists, who understand that a source can refuse to give information and are bound by rules of journalistic integrity. That won't be acceptable here; they'll need answers for everything. I'll make sure they have them.
We'd do a damn sight better if people would stop withholding evidence/information. Can I include a discussion of that idiocy?
Not just sign up for SEC if interested. Say about soldiers + police + combat experience. Other depts have been doing fancy advert shit.
Lot of people here from fucked up places. They keep secrets + they don't trust easily. Especially anything like a police force. Yes it fucks things up but I'm not going to be a hypocrite. + if we start yelling at them about it, they're only going to get worse. Obstinate.
If you want something with graphic design to it, you'll want to call in someone else. I'll do an advertisement, but it won't be fancy.
And I don't intend to harangue them. All I want to do is to point out that if they want to see justice done for their friends/acquaintances, they're hampering that by hoarding evidence.

But basic field skills to resuscitate or get someone stable makes sense.

But let him know we don't block med staff getting anywhere they need to be.

Just wanted him to know we don't get in medical's way.
Even if we're first responders.
Cooperation.

You were.
So flip it around so it doesn't sound like that.

You're okay doing that for me?

Something I need you to do.

We've got to say something about it, let people know we're dealing with it.
But you know I've got fuck all to tell them.

Do you want me to whitewash it and make people feel better? Or do you want me to tell the truth and take their vitriol?

She fucked up + I'll talk to her about it.
[But they don't need another upset woman developing a grudge against Edgeworth.]
Could run a recruitment call on it too.
Just had a jump.

It's not just her, though. It's systemic, Tyke, and it hamstrings us. We can't do anything when they hoard evidence like it's a souvenir.
