Nightbeat nods along as Pee-Dee thinks out loud. Muzzle mentally prods him to stop staring at her teeth, because their brain does not need to go there, thanks.
"So you're going next door to talk to Rimshot, then?" he asks.

"Yes." Pee-Dee picks up the cube she hasn't yet touched and takes a long drink. It's nothing special, but the way it spreads through her systems makes her smile.
She looks at Nightbeat over the rim of the cube. "What does he have to say?"

"He gives you a description of the perp that matches what was on the cameras, fills in a few details that the cameras didn't get because of the angle. He'll ask you if you think he's in any danger," Nightbeat replies.

"I ask him what makes him think he's in danger."

"In the entertainment vids, the witnesses always get murdered."

Pee-Dee looks thoughtful. This is, in her world-view, a perfectly reasonable point-of-view, even if the other types of people who would find this reasonable usually wouldn't worry about being in danger because they have big honking axes and bad attitudes.
"I think that's murders," she says. "So if a body shows up, then you should worry. Unless there's something really valuable involved... What do you know about our buddy Crosswire?"

"He doesn't know much. He tries not to associate with the kind of 'bots that live in a place like this," Nightbeat responds, contriving to roll his eyes to indicate that yes, he, Nightbeat understands the irony of this statement, but he is speaking in character. "He says hello to Crosswire in the hall sometimes. He comes home overcharged a lot. Crosswire does, I mean, not Rimshot."

"Why not?" Pee-Dee tilts her head slightly.

Nightbeat makes a rude gesture with his hand. "Because he's an artist even if he's too much of a hack to have ever sold a joke, and he doesn't want to associate with the common rabble lest he catch the creeping rust." Pee-Dee may not watch the right kinds of TV to understand the concept of a bohemian.

Pee-Dee snaps her fingers. "The perp went straight to Crosswire's apartment. So he knows Crosswire in some way, shape, or form. Can I get a picture and see if Crosswire recognizes the guy?"

Nightbeat shakes his head. "The perp went straight to Crosswire's apartment. How do you get him knowing Crosswire from that? It's one possible explanation, but not the only one. You can get a picture, but Crosswire doesn't recognize the perp."

"How else would he know to go to that apartment for money?" Pee-Dee asks.

Nightbeat's face remains expressionless. One might imagine a raised eyebrow, if his optics weren't configured the way they are. He extends a hand and makes 'keep going' motions.

"Then he must know Crosswire in some way, shape, or form." Pee-Dee breaks off one of her fingertips. "Maybe it's not personal," she breaks off another fingertip, "maybe he doesn't know Crosswire's name, even, but," a third fingertip, "he knew there was something valuable there."
She breaks off her entire fourth finger. "That means there's a connection to Crosswire somehow."

Nightbeat reaches out to put his hand over Pee-Dee's. "Pee-Dee, you don't have to break your fingers off when you count on them."
