MNN INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE: SARGENT BANKS SPEAKS ABOUT THE LYNCHING
I was able to catch up with Sargent Banks of Lone Star outside a Court Facility in Renton. I asked him a few questions.
Gavin: "Will the body of evidence against Renaldo be released post-mortem?"
Sgt. Banks: "It's interesting that you asked about that. You see all the information that we've been collecting about Mr. Joganic turned up missing the other day. Including our backups. On top of that, the Hospital records are missing as well..."
Gavin: "Where did the records go?"
Sgt. Banks: "Lone Star's official position on this, is that someone or something is deleting these files. Possibly another Technomancer or a skilled hacker."
Gavin: "OK, then how about the physical remains?"
Sgt. Banks: "Well, those remains were shipped off to be examined awhile ago. I'm pretty sure they're in cold storage at this point."
Gavin: "Also, are there actually DNA tests to determine if one is a technomancer?"
Sgt. Banks: "From what I understand, Technomancers have abnormalities in their DNA that we can test for. However, in this case, the hospital indicated that Renaldo had AIPS, which is typically associated with Technomancers."
Gavin: "Who was responsible for the chain of custody of Renaldo's body?"
Sgt. Banks: "Lone Star is typically responsible for the body until an investigation is closed."
Gavin: "So Lone Star's ineptitude in chain of evidence protection and sanctioning of Vigilante Justice is just going to go unpunished."
Sgt. Banks: "Our Internal Investigations unit is already looking into this."
Gavin: "Who heads up your Internal Investigations Unit?"
Sgt. Banks: " Max Scardina heads up that division, now if you don't mind, I've got an appointment to keep."
Gavin: "Thank you for your time, Sargent."
Later that day, Max Scardina refused to grant MNN an interview.

Remind me again why Lone Star is considered to be superior to... I don't know... The Boy Scouts? Or a bunch of Shopping Mall Security Guards with NacroJet Pistols?
Its easy to hide behind a wall of bureaucracy anymore, people do not even blink at blatant abuse or ineptitude. Both have been common since the turn of the century on all levels of government and corporation everywhere, certainly it was there before that, but not on the massive scale we see as everyday. Remember, however, that runners hide behind this veil of inefficiency every time they run, get paid, or piss in a public urinal. While the more idealistic among us might find this disgusting, one would have a hard time arguing the fact that we are a symptom and adaption to a social-ecological niche that needed filling.
Personally, I've gotten over it.
I haven't. I want accountability for what my Taxes pays.
I'm just glad that I get to vote often. ;-)
They don't call'm the biggest gang in the plex for no reason.
The most we see of the Star in my 'hood is a rotor high up out of range.
None of my kids ain't got the smarts not to get traced so we're nil persp.
Star is the biggest hoop ache a tusker can get for just being.
Sad thing is that half the people who joke about how crooked the Star is don't really believe what they're saying. Deep down, they're just too damn scared to bring themselves to believe just how quickly everything they've ever worked or stood for can be swept under the rug by some fragger with a badge. It's even worse with the hospitals though; Joe Wageslave can't even bring himself to contemplate the possibility that perhaps Dr. Friendly down at the free clinic gets a few cred richer everytime an inconvenient file disappears.
Got it in one, Whip. Every day I've had to deal with Cops, I thank $Deity for the lessons Grampa gave me about dealing with them when I was growing up.
OK folks, things just got worse.
A trio of idiots just tried to string me up to a light post. One will be eating through a straw, another will be learning to type with broken fingers, and the third was seen going 120 km/h towards Vegas attached to the trailer of a automated transport by his ankles in a noose.
They accused me of being a "Techno-Monster".
