Civilian

"To the heroine known as Nexus Buster.

I am Detective Elena Shi, of the WCPD, and I am in need of your expertise. At whatever time is most convenient for you, I'd like to meet you at Washington Park and discuss this issue. You may rest assured that you are not personally under any suspicion, but I can't say any more until we meet. Regardless, all I can say is that this is urgent."

This was the rather straight-to-the-point message that Elena had sent to one Sun-hi Lee, aka Nexus Buster. During what was supposed to be a simple bust of some seemingly-average bank robbers turned out to be a rather dire situation. None of the robbers had any powers as far as anyone could tell, but they were armed with extremely advanced energy rifles of some kind. The kind that shoot lasers capable of burning nickel-sized holes through solid concrete walls. The saving grace is that the would-be criminals weren't able to handle how powerful these weapons actually were, and proceeded to drop most of them in favor of escaping. A lucky break, but also a bit of a mixed blessing.

Whatever tech was involved in creating these weapons, it was far beyond the understanding of anyone at the Police department, and the higher-ups didn't know where to even begin in dealing with dealing with this mess. At the very least, they wanted to know what these guns were capable of, is only to try and develop ways to counter their power. But either way, they didn't want anyone attempting to follow what few leads they had without getting a better understanding of these weapons; or at least get an idea of who made them and how. That was when Elena got the idea to seek Sun-hi's help in this matter. If anyone would know anything about this, she would.

At this point, all Elena could do was hope she'd show up and would be willing to cooperate with her. For understandable reasons, she didn't want any more weapons of this caliber roaming around the streets; otherwise, everyone's job was about to get a lot more difficult.
