[No greetings, no introductions... Fumi's just getting right down to business.  It's not often she bothers broadcasting things over the network herself, after all.  Leaning back in her office chair briefly, she folds her arms before addressing the feed.]

For those of you who were acquainted with her, Miyako Hotsuin is no longer in the city.

[Her voice is flat and her face its usual deadpan expression as she says this.]

As this leaves me as the only official member of the JP's branch office, I will be assuming control of the newly renamed JP's Hinoto-Ri Branch.  It's been here long enough that continuing to call it the Nagoya branch seems a bit silly, and I'm relatively sure Miyako had been preparing for an official name change anyway.

[But wait, there's more.]

Additionally, following the departure of Kandori, Takeba, and Kirijo, and in view of the fact that I worked with each of them personally before the recent attack, I will also be taking over administration of the MAGI facility following the cleanup and reconstruction effort.

[No questions, no voting, she's just doing it, apparently.]

However, as there were three branches of the MAGI facility itself without even considering the resources required for the upkeep of the JP's location, I will be conducting interviews for the additional staff and personnel needed to keep things running smoothly.  For my own part, I will be acting in Takeba's capacity as the new head of the MAGI Research Branch.

At minimum, I will also require colleagues to take over Kandori and Kirijo's work as the respective heads of the Weapon and Development Branches.  Please contact me via secured network communication to apply for any of these positions or as support staff for either MAGI or JP's.  You may contact me in the same fashion if you have any questions about what the positions will entail.

...That is all.

...Naoya taught me everything I know, so he'd probably use the same tricks. And the ones he never taught me. But I'll check in to see what he's up to.

I was talking more about securing the M.A.G.I. databanks, though.

[terminally_clever]

Agreed. Those should be heavily secured. As you said yourself before, we can only guess at what's stored there.

[otakuro]

...Of course, to properly secure them, I have to try and figure out what I'm securing first.

Uh. ...Different kinds of data need different kinds of protection.

[terminally_clever]

You're a terrible liar, Kihara.

[otakuro]

I-It's for a greater cause! I think they call those 'unfortunate necessities' in the corporate world or something.

[The cause of greatest curiosity.]

[terminally_clever]

There's no need to be cagey about it. We're in charge now, remember?

[otakuro]

...

I think, on paper, at least, we should pretend to be responsible human beings. That's how a good corporation works.

[terminally_clever]

Of course. It's not as if I don't intend to be responsible about this.

[For a certain definition of the word.]

But it's true that we'll need to know what we're starting with, so I don't think it should be an issue to look into the data that already exists.

[otakuro]

Basically, if we can find out what they're working on and if we can actually continue along the same lines, we'd be doing the jobs we're supposed to, anyway.

If they're not around, we've got to step up to the plate, whether or not they'd want us to.

[terminally_clever]

Yes, of course. But I also don't think there's necessarily any problem in utilizing MAGI's resources to expand into new areas of research, either.

[otakuro]

I think the really important question is...

Do these jobs come with really awesome places to live?

[terminally_clever]

Hmm... I wonder.

[otakuro]

...If they come back and find us living in their penthouses, we could say we were keeping it clean for their return.

[terminally_clever]

See, now you're thinking like someone who's in charge.
