Paige's P.O.V.
"Yesterday morning, approximately 6AM, a link to a youtube video was emailed to all government employees in all 50 states across America. The CIA, and numerous other agencies would like your help on finding the group responsible and putting a stop to this. We've had people working around the clock, but we've made little progress, so this is where we ask for your help, what do you say?" The man on the screen asked sternly.
Everyone else looked deep in thought, already coming up with multiple solutions to the problem, except for Paige. "Okay, so a youtube link was sent to government workers all across America, what exactly's the problem here, what was in the video?"
"I don't have anymore time to explain, your friends seem to get the just and I've already explained everything to Agent Cabe, will you take the job? I'll forward a link to the video and all progress we've made so far to you as soon as I end this call," the man behind the screen barked impatiently.
Walter's P.O.V.
"Send it over, we'll have your results soon enough," replied Walter as he hurried to his laptop, the call with Agent Smith was ended and everyone returned to their desks. Walter didn't even need to await the CIA's email, the video was all over the news. Pulling a clip off youtube, he set it to play for the team on the big screen.
"Attention, government employees of America, today is the day you chose your future. You can contribute to our revolution, and help us to bring down the corrupt government you are oppressed by now. Together, we will create a better America. The other option, is to refuse this offer, in which case, your entire life and identity will be deleted. Bank statements, hospital and health care records, licences, property ownership, all will be gone. In the eyes of society you will not exist, you will have nothing. We await your decision."
"I want an analysis now, find out as much as you can," called Walter. "I'll see if I can trace the upload location and the account. Happy, I want you to find out what program was used to make the video and track the email address. Toby, see what you can figure out from the voice and Sylvester, review the CIA's current progress. We need to know who this is and where they're working from."
Everyone shuffled to their desks and became immersed in their work. Walter didn't notice Paige slip off to drop Ralph off at school. Oddly enough no one did except for Cabe.
Toby's P.O.V.
He only had to listen to the clip a few more times to come up with some solid leads. Typing away furiously at his laptop, he prepared to notify the team. Somewhere behind him he heard a door open, but was too busy to really notice.
"So, Sly, correct me if I'm wrong but the speaker doesn't appear to have used any sort of voice scrambler. This points to overconfidence and a sense of arrogance and cockiness, presumably from a successful life of crime. Due to his past feats, he's confident in his abilities and his plan to succeed, so he doesn't feel the need to hide or mask his voice. Of course showing his face would be down right dumb, so he stuck to the voice. The reference to 'we' in his speech implies not just citizens and government employees but also that he has men, maybe a gang backing him up or supporters aware of this plan across the country. Based upon his voice I'm going to take a wild guess and say he's a white male in his early forties, somewhere in the 5.6 to 6 feet range. Accent is American, he seemed at ease with the words meaning he wrote the speech himself, so based upon that, by the vocabulary used we can guess he's from the west coast somewhere."
"The West Coast idea matches my results, he was able to bounce around the signal but I was able to trace it back to the north-west, specifically, somewhere in Alaska," pitched in Walter. "The account was recently created, most likely solely for this purpose. I'll hack in and see what more I can find out."
"The program used looks like pretty much any ordinary software you can download cheap off the web, or that comes already installed. Analyzing the font used though, it looks to be an Apple based program," added Happy.
"Well compared to what you guys had, the CIA had nothing," laughed Sylvester.
"I think such progress deserves bagels, come an' get em before they get cold," called over Cabe. Everyone jumped up and headed to the kitchen. Food was always welcome.
