Subject's vital indicators are all normal, suggesting she is rarely exposed to Originium.

Don't worry, Ms. Swire, Rhodes Island's hospital fees are quite reasonable. You only have to pay...

--S.S.E., Medic Operator

Any unfair charges to patients will have appropriate consequences.

-- Dr. Kal'tsit

Swire has no aptitude for manipulating Originium. The most she can do is remote-pilot an Originium drone, but this is adequate for her needs.

Adding a loudspeaker to such a drone lets her beam her voice to every officer in the field, a technique she has used to great effect!

But thinking about Swire's voice booming across a battlefield is rather intimidating...

Although her police officers would never say anything in front of Swire, they gossip extensively about her.

'Swire must be super rich!'

'Her family business owns some property in Lungmen! And they have even more in Victoria!'

'Why did she choose to be a police officer instead of inheriting the family business? What was she thinking?'

The officers would mutter amongst themselves behind Swire's back until they finished their mission or she lashed out at them. They were still fearful of Swire, as she always had her dreaded hammer in hand.

Now the Rhodes Island Operators do more or less the same thing.

'She sure is testy. And she's really mean.' -a Lungmen police officer who asked to not be named.

After speaking with Swire, most people find her as passionate as she is strict.

Swire is fine paying necessary expenses, but if she thinks a bill is too high, becomes intensely suspicious. She will double check her accounts and circle any seemingly dubious charges.

When she is angry, she deviates from her noble Victorian image. She will charge across the Lungmen street markets and no one can stop her.

Despite this, everyone is still willing to work with her. Swire is not as aggressive as Ch'en, but her focus makes her a good boss. In addition, she is very happy to share when she is in a good mood, and she will often pay everyone who's gone the extra mile out of her own pocket.

'She really works hard with you. She works like that with everyone.' -a Lungmen police officer who asked to not be named

I still remember that one kidnapping case.

It must've been before the Guard Department was founded, and Wei Yenwu had decided to clean up Lungmen. This kidnapping was the big thing in that campaign.

The kidnappers were really something. They had serious firepower, enough to wipe out all our detectives. If we screwed up, they would've killed the hostage and all our effort would've been for nothing.

The hostage's grandfather was a tough old man who seemed to be Victorian nobility. I think the kidnappers had some reason to go after this kid and it wasn't ransom. They wanted their story to be streamed to the public so Wei Yenwu would look weak. They weren't just ordinary kidnappers. It wasn't that simple.

The rescue mission was planned by Wei Yenwu and this kid's grandfather. They used a secret special ops team. It's beside the point, but that team was the prototype for the Guard Department's Special Inspection Unit. There were a lot of tabloids and novels written about them.

Anyway, they pulled it off. The ringleader was executed and most of his accomplices were killed on the spot.

The hostage? She was just a little girl. The kidnappers clearly didn't think about how traumatic the experience would be for her.

She didn't end up seeing anything gruesome. She saw a Lungmen police officer rushing out. She saw the heavy Christmas snowfall. She saw the street lamps and the Christmas tree outside the abandoned building. That's pretty good.

I hope the officers left a good impression on her.

How do I know all this? Some old police officers told me about it. Everyone's really proud of that mission!

Hey, don't ask me! I got nothing to hide.

--A Lungmen Guard Department supervisor

When did she break the habit of stuffing everything in her bag? And when should I forgive her for walking off with my bag, leaving me with nothing but a couple tubes of lipstick and a bottle of foundation to execute an arrest with?
