[The ID reads Clark Kent, as always. Not the right time to try fooling the network yet.]

Sadly, Captain Holiday was put under intensive care not long before I ended up here so I never got to talk to him. But I was hoping some of you might have gotten a chance to contact him before that. If you have, I'd appreciate if you could tell me about your conversations with him.

You don't have to tell me what the conversation was about, I understand a lot of them were confidential. [That word, he hates it. Lois might see it as a sign that she's pulling the right strings but Clark only sees it as a wall he cannot punch or fly over.]

It's really him I'm interested on. If you noticed anything weird in how he behaved, perhaps, or if he was acting completely normal.

[He pauses for a second. And then:]

I'd also be interested in talking with people who've been able to take a look at the Porter, or been in contact with it. I understand it's a privilege to be allowed near it?

Thank you.

And in that time, how many 'public' appearances did Holiday make? I'm talking network posts and such. I just want to get a feeling on how 'out there' the man was, or if people had to contact him themselves.

[acclimatized]

The last post he made was back in May. It was the first time I really got to speak to him. I know he always had a direct line for people to contact him.

[He nods. That's pretty much what he's gotten by looking at the network, so it fits.]

Thank you, this has been really helpful. Mr... [A glance at the ID.] Watson. There's still something weird about the way he was taken away, but it's sounding more and more like the government is covering something up.

I just don't know what yet.

No problem, I just wish there was something we could do for him. He seems like a decent bloke and he doesn't deserve all this.

That seems to be the consensus. I wish we could do something for him as well, but so far we can't even visit him. It feels like he's being punished for being on our side.

[acclimatized]

It does, doesn't it? And I'm guessing he still isn't being allowed visitors?

[andaway]

Not last time I checked, no. If he really needs the treatment then of course far too many visits from imPorts would be counterproductive, but they are basically leaving us in the dark. The closest I got was talking to his husband.

[acclimatized]

Did he have anything to say about all this?

[andaway]

He was mostly sorry Holiday left so suddenly, and he thought we deserved to know more. Sadly a lot of it was confidential.

[He attaches a Text file with a transcription of the conversation.]
