The Lux Sentinel Hunter Shigure had just delivered a bit of bad news to the owner of the house that he had searched. He was now standing in the doorway on the houses front porch. The owner was a former newspaper writer and editor, who had retired just prior to the rise of Lux, the man was dumbfounded by what Hunter had just said, and began to protest."But, I've already told you, I'm not printing any illegal copies of The Predicament (Nox's newspaper) here. I let you search my house for them and nothing came up, so why are you placing my house under surveillance?" Hunter had hoped that the man would not protest over this, and sighed as he began his explanation, "While I did not find any copies of The Predicament, I did find a large printing machine in your basement, Mr. McDowell. It is highly unusual to find a printing machine of that size which isn't owned and operated by the government. Furthermore, why would you need such a machine if you're retired?" The man's response was an attempt to use his knowledge of the government against Hunter, "There's no law against printing, you can't pin any crime on me simply for printing papers!" Hunter's response was quick and to the point, "Which is why I haven't placed you under arrest at this time, sir. If you truly aren't printing anything illegal, then you have nothing to worry about. But we still need to place your home under 24/7 surveillance." The man was starting to get restless, and was now practically yelling at Hunter. Everyone nearby would likely be able to hear him as he blurted out. "This is an invasion of privacy!" In a calm, nonchalant tone Hunter responded, "Civilian safety takes precedence over individual privacy, sir."
The mans face began turning red as he looked like he was about to reach out and try to punch to purple haired sentinel in the face. Hunter saw the writing on the wall as to what the man might try if he stayed where he was. "Local officials will be showing up within the next few days to begin their surveillance Mr. McDowell. I highly recommend that you cooperate with them, or you'll be in even more trouble than you already are." On that note, Hunter turned around, and walked off of the mans porch, and on to the street. He made a right turn and began to walk towards the local Sentinel office to file his official report on the man, and to make his injunction for surveillance officers to descend on the mans house.
