After four months, all of her investigative journalism was compiled into a successful video documentary, which highlighted the Paladin program and boosted their reputation...
With each of the major changes that followed the leak, Cassie was there - documenting, interviewing, capturing, and writing it all. The sorrow of those mourning the lost, the anger of the convicted, the joy of speaking as systems were overhauled.
Cassie found a family in Beatrice and Rona - and paid respects to her own. A personal accounting of the MSV Freedom's final mission was published, and at the end, she had written respects to all who had ever served aboard...and she started her next piece on the Pequod.
@_FifthCircle Because the only way we grow is if we learn from our mistakes.
I heard your mother was at the hospital. You need to see her...I'll stay here, and do my work.
Cassandra spent time taking photos with her customized omni-tool. She captured moments all around C-SEC HQ and froze once @_FifthCircle appeared on her camera, further down the hallway before her...
@_FifthCircle I'll miss him. Clants didn't have any family that I know of...and VigilSoc is either dark or dismantled, now.
I'm not used to seeing chaos like this. It's not how I wanted to start my journalism career, but it needs to be captured.
@GraveTechs I am close to your age, technically! But, you're right. The balance of things is upset, and it will take time for society to restructure, but I recorded this. All of this...I have interviews to do, people to see, and...I think I'm about to become a mother, officially, too.
@GraveTechs My best friend died. He was difficult, and I was so hard on him, and I just wish I could have treated him better...
The people I know from VigilSoc have all vanished. I don't know, Clint. What would my father do?
@_FifthCircle *Cassie shut her with a kiss. Time didn't matter to either of them, now - only this moment did, and they had no intention of it ending anytime soon...*
Cassie took a quiet moment to herself after the talk with Stark. Passerbys in the hall gave her the occasional high five, and finally, she caught sight of @_FifthCircle coming around the corner to approach her...
@_FifthCircle *It was one of many empty offices throughout the building, and unimportant to the rest of the occupants - except the two of them. Cassie locked the door*
@_FifthCircle I'm here now, and I always will be. I love you, Bea.
*Cassie's hands slid from Bea's face to her shoulders, then down to her waist. Down the hall, Rona's voice called for Bea*
If only we had some more time right now...Go to her, she needs you now.
@_FifthCircle I don't know, I'll have to think about it.
*She looked away for three seconds, then snapped her attention back to Bea*
Okay, I'm done.
*Cassie leaned in, and they embraced each other for what was their first kiss in decades*
@_FifthCircle It has. Girl, the amount of drama that I've seen on the station, you would not believe...and I captured it all.
I think I'll write a piece when this is all over. All the corruption, the lies, it'll be talked about for the years to come.
