Drawing this, I wished I had given Lúthien that donkey-style hair-ruff from her first appearance.
...but not enough for me to go back and edit it in throughout the whole Master's Edition.
The credibility-building ideas came from Sparrow (rescue info for missing persons), Bianca (medical treatments), and Miranda (catching some of those Ponzi schemes). I was really happy with how the textures and outlines distinguished those background scenes from the foreground characters.
A commenter identified the officer in the first scene as the BICP version of Ragnild Nibelungsen. That...was not deliberate. I just only have so many faces/hairstyles I can draw.
Bennett: Okay, I don’t think we need to go through every individual viewer! Dr. Rosen — let’s skip to the part where you tell me about the answers you prepared before coming on tonight.
Rosen: Of course! Viewers at home may have already begun to see online rumors about the results in motion.
My afternoon was spent informing law enforcement about the locations of missing persons . . . medical researchers about treatments they should pursue, which I can get from Lúthien without asking for personal details on their patients . . . and financial authorities about details of large-scale corporate frauds and tax evasions.
Three of my friends suggested these as ways to establish Lúthien’s credibility. The more people come to trust her information . . . the larger the problems we can fix. Together.
Bennett: Are you worried at all about somebody deciding they need to protect their secrets . . . by murdering you? Say, one of these incredibly rare bad-apple rich people who do unethical things with their money?
Rosen: Mr. Bennett, I have no worries about rich people, murder, or apples.
