recklessenough[ It truly had not been his intention to make any sort of announcements over the general network. He was gathering plenty of information from the communications others were putting up and while he did like the sound of his own voice, Lockwood could recognizes when there was an inundation of requests, raising the risk of something being lost.
But as he sifted through the wide range of helpful intelligence, he kept coming back to a missing piece. A piece that Lockwood knew he relied upon back home and which he also recognized was not in his wheelhouse.
He needed George Karim. Or in this case a George stand-in.
Lockwood started to record the message as video, then stopped and decided to go audio instead. His voice often provided an image of age to go with maturity, where his face and lanky frame screamed teenager. Best to go with your strengths, when admitting to a weakness. The voice coming across the network is deep, cheerful, his diction crisp and clear, despite his posh accent. Taken together, his tone might make one imagine a large smile to go along with the words, if one were given to such imaginations.]
Hello.
Apologies to add yet another introduction, but I will do my best to keep mine brief.
My name is Anthony [ his pronunciation drops the "h" an-tun-nee ] Lockwood, please feel free to call me Lockwood.
Back in my world, I guess you would call it, I am the head of my own agency called Lockwood and Co. We're ghost specialists, for lack of a better term. Not overly important here, except that in working with my team back home I've learned the invaluable important of meticulous research, the gathering of information about a mission or a job, before actually conducting the field work.
[ He's stretching the truth a little here. Oh he knows the importance of information and research but Lockwood would rather wash dishes before picking up a book. In addition, more often than not, he doesn't give George half the time the younger man needs to do a thorough job before Lockwood is racing head long where angels fear to tread, dragging Lucy and George along in his wake.
But those are minor details and not pertinent to this situation. Well. Except for the fact that Lockwood has access to Sabriel's file; he's just trying to avoid having to read it himself. ]
By sending this message out, publicly, I was hoping to learn who, among our team here, are considered our go to researchers and scientists when we're out in the field?
I am laboring under the assumption that we all play to our strengths, and mine is certainly neither research or science. George, a friend back home, has taught me to respect those who have the dedication to find nuggets of gold in deluge of information that can otherwise cloud an objective and I'd love to know who I can ask for help when I've gotten myself into the weeds, and need to clarify my understanding of our situation.
[ Lockwood may always keep his own counsel when it came to his final decisions regarding action, and George might feel unappreciated at times. But Lockwood was working on that perception, because he did recognize George's brilliance when it comes to all things research and scientific. ]
