[ACTION; PUBLIC LIBRARY]

*Seems like it's not only the heroes who have been paying attention to the string of events. Hiroshi's at the library today, but as a bit of a break from all the reading, he's pulled out a map he bought of Sirocco, and currently has it spread on a table. He flits with his phone a bit, nodding, before adding small marker points all around the map.*

Hmm... so the last one was here, but the one before was way over there. It's almost like they're deliberately as scattered as possible. Curious...

Hey, kiddo. What'cha working on?

[Gordon ruffles Hiroshi's hair lightly with a grin. A small pile of geological survey reports are tucked under his arm again.]

[all_onis_are_true]

H-hey!

*You're ruining his cool and collected image, man!*

Er, *ahem* Actually, I was charting out the pattern of attacks based on what I've heard in the news about these random "supervillains."

[As an adult he's obligated to make you look lame occasionally. And you immediately have his attention, Hiroshi.]

You did that? Wh... did you find anything?

[all_onis_are_true]

I only just started, but so far all I can tell is that the attacks are all happening as far from each other as possible. See...

*He pulls up the map.*

The first incident occurred about here. And the second one occurred... way over here. Then the third one happened back around here or so. And so on.

[He peers at the mess of dots. He's right. There's no clustering or clumping. Pure, homogenous chaos.]

I'd actually mentioned to Booster the possibility that the attacks are... well, someone else's doing. If this guy's smart, and we think he is, he would spread out his attacks. Of course, it could just be pure randomness we're looking at, too. It's hard to tell with this little data...

[all_onis_are_true]

To be fair, I haven't really finished putting them all down yet.

*He adds a few more dots. It's LARGELY random, except...*

...that's odd. They all seem to be lining up along this sort of this curve, see?

[trustycrowbar]

[He drops the journals onto a nearby table. That can wait for later.]

Yeah, I think I see something! But what kind of shape IS that? You have anything else you can add so it?

1/2

[all_onis_are_true]

There's a few more! I just need to add this, and this, and this, and -- !

2/2

*It's... shaped like a smiley face.*

...this some kind of a joke?

[trustycrowbar]

[...the icon says it all.]

It is.

[all_onis_are_true]

Well THAT was an amazing waste of time.

[trustycrowbar]

At least we KNOW it's a waste of time, now. [Not much of a consolation, but...]

Hm... he might still be using this pattern, actually. Ridiculous as it looks, it COULD still be useful.
