s6 episode 9 "S.R. 819" thoughts

still giggling and kicking my feet after last episode…

but i need to lock in this evening, because it seems that skinner is in grave danger this episode. from a MYSTERIOUS DISEASE. these things KEEP happening. how many secret diseases can be developed in one universe? what did he get into this time?!!! how are the agents going to hear about this?!! because i don’t think they are even allowed to talk to him!! and how will they save him?!

we must dive in to find out, but i assume that the msr pre-relationship honeymoon is over… for now. maybe they can pick it up another day. 

post-episode thoughts: i need to put the skinner and mulder/scully dynamic in a blender and drink it like a shot. scully grabbing his hand... mulder actually calling him sir...

i need to go sit down, bro. i need to pontificate.

we are in a hospital with skinner. “what’s wrong with him is he’s going to die”, says this doctor. OH!!!

wait… agent scully is his emergency contact… oh my god… hold on… i need a minute for this…

(author's note: after watching the episode, i don't think she is actually his emergency contact, but at the TIME, i, the viewer, had no way of knowing that she had been the one to accurately diagnose his problem and propose treatment, and was therefore who the doctor wanted to contact- a side effect of starting the episode in media res. still! that world where i imagined she was his emergency contact was so alluring, i want to retain the brief time i spent there for historical accuracy)

AUGH. HE IS PULSATING……. NASTY!!! NASTY and VILE!!! poor sweet man. but that is disgusting.

i repeat my grounding mantra: shoutout to the props and makeup team.

bleughhhhh… this one might be rough for me, if such grossness levels continue.

skinner’s whispering!!! he says a name and then flatlines!!

why won’t the doctor shock him back to life…. she says to let him go??????????????

is this ethically allowed? i mean, did it say in his file “DNR”, or did he whisper “DNR” or something? but like, he said a name, and DNR is not a name. so. why aren't they reviving him?

man… dr. cabrera… i’m suspicious.

shortened intro: i will never grow used to you.

skinner is narrating!!! IS HE REALLY GONNA DIE??? I DON’T WANT TO SEE THAT!!!! he says this is the course he chose. defending a center which cannot hold. so death chose for him.

THEY’RE COVERING HIM WITH A SHEET???????

WHAT!!!!!!!

is this a contract thing… like he’s barely been here this season, did he need out of the contract, so they killed him off…….?

i don't want that, man. we don't need that.

okay. jump back 24 hours in time. he is going to box!!! skinner is pummeling this guy named dre, but it seems dre gets some good shots in. that, or skinner is starting to die early on.

ah! he is all dizzy and gets knocked right out!!! so they take him to the hospital and he eventually comes to. 

why is he getting a creepy robot call saying “it’s in you”…? it says he has 24 hours. “you are already dead” 

WHO FROM THE GYM IS TRYING TO KILL HIM????

or is it this doctor plant gentleman tending to him who is behind this…?

dr. plant says there is nothing wrong with him except the bruise on his ribs that skinner does not remember getting. i guess he did get knocked around pretty well, but i feel like he would remember a massive rib bruise

mulder is tossing pencils at his desk!! why is he still in the office at 10 at night?? he must not want to go home. but skinner is here, too. spread out on the couch with his shirt barely on.

“what is it, agent mulder?”, skinner asks. and mulder has some tact for once, and does not point out that he looks like he’s dying, choosing instead to settle on “just thought i’d poke my head in and say hey”. a very even statement to make in such a situation.

mulder jokes about him having a hangover, and skinner says he couldn’t see and probably shouldn’t drive. which gets mulder to ask “you going to be alright, sir?” <- OH! the sir. they’re always in some weird power struggle... but now he called him sir. 

mulder calls scully down at 11:09 pm, and i know she was probably like "wtf does he need me for at this hour..."

all the lights are out because his eyes hurt, so mulder angles a desk lamp so she can examine his bruise which is just. so. AUGH. to me. i cannot place it. 

there's something deeply intimate about your beloved agent 1 getting you settled in the dark to accommodate for your pain, and then dangling a desk lamp so beloved agent 2 can examine your mystery wounds. while you lay there. in agony.

his bruise has white lines through it- OH!!! GROSS! he grunts when scully touches it, and mulder tells her about the mysterious phone call warning of his imminent death

scully is NOT going to let him sit up. YEAH! you tell him, doctor!

ooooo... mulder thinks there could be a conspiracy, and skinner hits him with a “oh, this is about you” <- low blow, buddy!! “you are so PARANOID, mulder” and historically he has had reasons to be!

scully points out that while THEY may not be on the x files, he still is. and he is therefore a target of the wrath of mystery syndicate men.

skinner does not want to answer their questions. and they want to ask very detailed questions.

mulder seeks clarification that he woke up alone... i see he did not figure things out with the wife. yet. there is still time. of course, unless he actually WILL die.

oh! but their questions are leading to him remember something!!

he recalls being grabbed in the hall by a guy who wanted to know what time it was…. so they find him on the security footage!!

scully recognizes him!! his name is dr. kenneth orgel, and he’s a physicist!! yeah, she would know the famous physicists, lmao <3 (said with SO much love)

scully says he should lay down, but skinner needs revenge. well. you have two people at your disposal right here that are more than capable of helping you get revenge AND answers! so lay down.

skinner and mulder go to dr. orgel’s house… oooo…. he says he doesn’t know who skinner is. and he denies coming to see him earlier. and then shuts the door in their faces!!

mulder whips out his gun and tells skinner to go around back LMAOOO oh, he is not messing around!!!!

noooo!!! there are guys in there!!!! they take dr. orgel away!!! and they shoot after mulder!!! he manages to grab one of them, but dr. orgel gets taken away by the others.

meanwhile, skinner is getting worse and worse, and now his veins are getting all horrible while he’s hurt on the floor of dr. orgel's place!!

the dude they captured is speaking arabic, but he has diplomatic papers, so skinner says to let him go. he’s from tunisia, and his name is lazreg. hmm...

mulder says skinner needs to get to a hospital, but he refuses to listen!!!

scully is talking with dr. plant, who saw skinner in the hospital earlier. he doesn’t want her to have access to his blood samples without skinner's written consent, but she says we don’t have time and gets in there anyway, LMAO.

i love when she breaks the rules. because she loves the rules. but she also knows that sometimes we simply need to trample all over them to keep people from dying. and i admire that about her.

the blood… it’s… separating??? augh.

mulder is going through dr. orgel’s stuff, trying to find clues. oh… he finds a photo of him with a senator???

hospital updates: someone put pure carbon into skinner’s blood??? and it’s killing him somehow?! this seems to baffle scully and dr. plant alike. it’s multiplying!!! these little things in the blood are multiplying!!!!

mulder is going to visit the senator… is this the same senator he would visit in s2?? and we never got any answers as to what they were doing??

ohhh, the picture of the senator and dr. orgel was them holding a senate resolution- s.r. 819. aha! they said the episode title!! 

he says it’s a funding bill for the world health organization, and mulder says well, it’s gonna kill my friend!

yes, it is the senator he used to visit!!! he tries to tell him to get lost!! “my intention is to save lives, fox, but i can’t save his”

so he somehow secured a ton of funding for the WHO in exchange for killing skinner?? EVIL!

who is this freak………

you cannot deter mulder for long, even if you show him out of your house. 

skinner is following one of the other dudes into some diplomatic area, but he is still getting worse and worse!! his veins are all blue now!!! and someone shoots!!!

but skinner dodges!!! HAHA! yes!!! he gets out and shoots back at this tunisian diplomat!!! 

but his vision is getting all blurry and he’s stumbling!!!

YEAHHHHHHHH, someone hits the other guy with a car!!!!! is it mulder????? no, not mulder with the well-timed vehicular manslaughter, although that would have been interesting. but skinner falls down!!!!!! he totally collapses!!

scully is still analyzing his mystery blood. she found something!!! it’s creating a matrix!! multiplying and building dams in the vascular system!!!!

this is not good.

news comes in that skinner has been taken to a different hospital, and scully heads out to go find him.

augh… he is so blue…. are they going to cut his arm off???!

scully bursts in!!! they try to kick her out, but she cannot be scolded in this manner!! and they DO want to cut off both of his arms!!

“who the hell IS this woman?” <- you watch how you talk about MEDICAL DOCTOR SPECIAL AGENT SCULLY!!

she says that cutting his arms off won’t do a damn thing, and you had best get a scope into him NOW!

“look, if you want to save this man, listen to what i’m saying!” <-YEAHHHH!!!!! you better tell them!!

assertive doctor scully, you are so important to me

ohhh... he’s stirring awake, and she’s telling him it’ll be okay, and that mulder is figuring out who did this to him, and “we’re going to take good care of you, i promise, we’re going to do everything we can” OHHHHHHHHH…….

man… whenever they’re at each other’s hospital beds, i feel secret emotions. getting throwbacks to him visiting her after her cancer went into remission...... and her following him into the ambulance after that other dude tried to kill him... man...

the next morning, there is a weird noise in skinner’s office. it's mulder! he is going through all of his stuff!! he explains to skinner's secretary that the boss has been poisoned, and then rips open the classified envelope on her desk. i hope there are no legal consequences to this.

back at the hospital, scully is in red scrubs. she looks really nice in red scrubs. it makes me wonder, why are most other scrubs blue, but she gets these beautiful red ones? did she have them on hand? did she borrow some extra ones from the hospital? have we ever seen her in red scrubs before? is red her color?

and mulder is here…. she says there’s nothing they can do to help skinner, except keep cutting open his arteries (GAG) but! her eyes are so blue...

trying hard not to let her face distract me from the plot at hand, but it's difficult.

ohhhh… the bill was going to be voted on by the senate, but it needed skinner’s review and an analysis by dr. orgel… so did they just kill him to speed up the process??? because they knew he would shoot it down?

mulder thinks orgel came to tell skinner about the violation of export laws involving new technology.

“you know what that means?” “well, i think i might” 

... aliens? alien bee virus?

phone call time… it’s the electronic voice on skinner's cell!! saying they can’t stop it!! your time is almost up!! so it has to be someone in the hospital making the call!!!

mulder sees someone typing into this pad sort of thing… and he runs after the guy with the long hair!!! he pulls out his gun!!! and runs into the parking lot!!!

he nearly shoots a nurse in his hunt for this dude with the weird pad thingy, and then makes an effort to appear non-threatening. which was kinda cute. when a car pulls out. and it crashes somewhere?? but the dude driving it got away!!!

the senator gets a phone call!! saying the bill is in danger!! it’s the guy with the long hair who was typing on the pad thingy on the other end of the phone!! saying that dr. orgel believes his threats!! he says he can tell him where to find him???

what is this dude's end goal...?

they found hairs from a wig inside the car, which prompts a smartass remark from mulder. and tons of PCBs on the tires. maybe from an old power plant?

oooo, the senator is also rolling up to a power plant. he looks so out of place in his prim and proper coat while the pigeons fly in his face in this abandoned facility. and he finds dr. orgel on a cot!!! he also looks very very very sick with blue veins! 

dr. orgel says he needs water, but the guy who has the pad is turning up some sort of level thing, and he starts screaming!!! his pad says “orgel active”

woah, is this like a remote control disease?

scully comes in to talk to skinner…. she wants to try filtering all of the blood in his body, and lets him know that this is a risky procedure. OH... HE SAYS “I’M IN YOUR HANDS” OHHHH…

the surrender of it all... resting in the knowledge that she knows what she is doing... the total trust. wow...

“i think i owe you an apology, scully. you and mulder. i’ve been lying here, thinking… your quests… it should have been mine” “what do you mean?” “if i die now, i die in vain. i have nothing to show for myself. my life” “sir, you know that’s not true” “it is. i can see now that… i always played it safe. i wouldn’t take sides. wouldn’t let you and mulder…. pull me in” “you’ve been our ally more times than i can say” “not the kind of ally that i could’ve been” 

OH!!!! hang on....... he, too, is consumed by the Guilt... we knew he had Guilt re: Vietnam and past violence, but that he feels he could have done more for the agents is new information... especially since he was the one that made the deal with CSM to try and get scully saved...

but since mulder ended up being told about the chip thingy, maybe he feels like he didn't save the day and instead was tricked into doing CSM's dirty work... and he must think that he could have tried to argue for keeping them on the x files back in the first episode of s6, but he didn't... i'm emo.

she grabs his hands……. and he says he remembers!!!! he remembers the guy’s face!! he was at the gym!! and the hospital!! and he hit that diplomat guy with the car!! and he was there at the office when dr. orgel grabbed his arm!! the long-haired guy with the pad!! he’s on the tape!!

mulder arrives to the power plant and finds the senator’s car there…. hi, pigeons, you are so beautiful, but we have a problem at hand. mulder is strutting in…. but someone watches…. yeah, hold that little gun out, mulder. i love your little gun.

the senator announces that orgel is dead, and what he knows died with him.

OHHH YEAH!! SOME MULDER VIOLENCE!!! ROUGH THAT MAN UP!!

he is talking about nanotechnology… machines…. other words...

mulder says he will stop this AND expose the senator!!! but he keeps yelling that it’s too late.

don't test that man. he loves a righteous crusade.

which brings us back to the beginning of the episode, where dr. cabrera won’t shock skinner….. why do they just listen to her??? and not even try to fight her to save him??? 

the dude with the long hair and the pad is right outside, and he turns the settings back to 0…. and skinner comes back alive. who is this dude?!?

three weeks later, scully tells skinner his prognosis is excellent!!! and scully found the long-haired pad guy on the video tapes!! but skinner cannot identify him.

good news, though: the bill was withdrawn without explanation. so no WHO funding to install some other murder pads across the world

whoever this mystery long-haired pad man was, he killed one of his own to save skinner… so mulder still thinks it’s about the x files. mulder would need skinner's authority to keep investigating. 

but he says no!! scully is not pleased. they look scared and surprised to hear this. she must be mentally thinking "sir, this contradicts your deathbed statements"

where is skinner going now…? to his car… a likely place for a guy to go after work, but the music is scary, so i don’t think that’s where the story will end 

KRYCEK???? IN THE CAR?? he says he can push the button at anytime??? and skinner has been EXPECTING him??

he gets out of the car and leaves???

THE END?

so somehow, krycek has the technology that can restart his nanotechnology disease?

wait. WAS krycek the bearded guy? hold on. i have to go back. 

YES. he was. i paused at strategic times and noticed that was, in fact, his face. and then i guess he shaved down his face and took off his long wig, which must be why skinner denied being able to recognize him!! to keep the agents safe?? is that his goal!? 

man. KRYCEK!!! the rat bastard….

oh, i bet the eagle-eyed fans knew it was krycek the whole time and were not shocked at this reveal. maybe they even had seen leaked scripts or set photos and therefore knew it was him. but in my defense, i don't pay too much attention to the background characters, nor could i ever imagine a BEARDED and LONG-HAIRED krycek!! his whole thing is being pretty in a prep-school sort of way!!

well, if you did see this coming, feel free to tell me what a fool i am. or you can tell me you also didn't notice, which would make me feel better. they didn't even put his name in the front credits! they hid it in the back! they were committed to tricking me!!

ohhh, this episode was pretty darn good!! i LOVE skinner and mulder/scully angst. it’s just soOoooooooOoo delicious. i still can’t articulate exactly what it is that drives me so crazy. but it DOES.

it's something about the way they would die and kill for each other. the way the lines get really blurred between "this man is my boss" and "this man is like a father or uncle to me" and "this man is sometimes actively withholding information from me that will keep me from finding the answers i need" and just when you think he'll do one thing, he'll do the other. MMM! delicious.

krycek… i was wondering when we were going to get back to him and his schemes. these episodes have been pretty good in quality throughout s6, but i’m lacking an overall vision or build up to a bigger plot, unless there is something between the lines i'm missing, which wouldn't really be that surprising.

we often get a lot of one-off episodes and then a two-parter with way too much going on at once, though, so this isn't particularly surprising, and i'm not sure why it feels like we know even less than every other season. probably because we are coming off of SO much being explained to us after fight the future in the way it usually never is, AND so many new questions being raised by the same movie. so now it's kinda like... are they going to get to that ever?? or just leave us wondering??

but: someone krycek is involved with is putting a secret technology disease inside of skinner. and then preventing him from dying?? who is he working with? and for what goal?

and krycek wasn't even IN the movie!! so what does he have to do with all of that?

wait! the diplomats in this episode were from tunisia… we saw CSM with the new (?) alien virus bee farm in tunisia at the end of FTF… so maybe the nanotechnology is somehow derived from the alien virus spread by bees? even though the symptoms were different? no chest alien births this time around

the dots aren’t connecting per se, but i am at least recognizing the presence of dots.

tbh, i have no real predictions as to what is going to happen next in terms of mytharc stuff. because we still have diana and spender on the x files, and kersh thwarting the every move of our beloved agents!! how can they even do anything about the plot?? just keep sneaking around?

part of me wonders if kersh is actually an ally who is just really selling his performance as an enemy. but we also did see him with CSM that time in triangle, so it’s hard to say. but then again, i guess we also did see skinner with CSM every now and again. but, if kersh WAS an ally, wouldn't skinner feel less guilty about having them switched over to his jurisdiction? hmm… unless he's a secret ally, unbeknownst to even skinner.

and now, skinner decided that death chose for him where he will stand, and he will (probably) get himself more involved in the x files, but he'll have to do it behind the scenes, because he knows that at any moment they could kill him... but of course, scully doesn't know this, so she thinks he just went back on his word... or maybe she thinks he has some sort of secret plan because they know each other pretty well by now....... HMMM...

well, i don’t have any theories beyond the ones i proposed a few episodes ago as to the source of mulder’s angst. maybe his angst is related to krycek and the plot?? somehow?? is he on some sort of secret mission?

idk!! idk!! we will simply have to stay tuned!!

I've mused on the avoidance of racial politics in Oblivion but never really got into the broader ideological context. since I'm on one lately, I organized my thoughts and put them under the cut. 🚨BEWARE: EFFORTPOST🚨

for those who heed my warning and scroll by, enjoy this screenshot from when I was trying to find the post I linked above:

who the fuck shaved my beautiful blog 😔

let's get the divine right shit out of the way

Despite the narrative at its heart, I don't think Oblivion is presenting a pro-monarchy message. No one in real life is an actual avowed monarchist anymore except for some maladjusted internet freaks, and we don't care about them, so I'm not gonna spill a bunch of ink on why feudalism sucks.

But still. Your HoK's job is to defend the bloodline, no matter how they might feel about it. If they don't, the idyllic heart of the Empire will fall to a demonically-aligned group of religious wackjobs whose only goal is wrecking shit for its own sake. Which could mean nothing.

the war on terror uhhh devils and stuff

From George W. Bush's public address on Sept 20, 2001:

Americans are asking, why do they hate us? [...] They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.

After a sleeper agent attacks you in the street for the nth time, you might ask yourself: "Why are these people so hot to turn everything into the Deadlands? That place fucking sucks."

You don't get much insight to the Mythic Dawn. Even when you infiltrate their hideout, no one really makes a compelling case. Mankar Camoran's manifesto is full of impenetrable theological ravings (which is a fun touch, dgmw) and when you finally confront him, his justifications are pretty thin.

It is worth remarking that one character calls Camoran's writing "revolutionary." I don't think this line is intentional propagandizing. It's just the normative line of liberal democracy: revolutionaries are terrorists. Their motive is bloodthirst, and their end goal is chaos.

I wouldn't claim the demonic hordes are a stand-in for militant Islamist groups. If that had been the intent, Bethesda didn't need to be coy about it (cw: video link, breathtakingly racist).

Instead I think the Daedra represent the ambient, pervasive fear of the time. We were at war with the concept of terror itself, after all. Politicians and media outlets put aside their differences to tell the American public that we faced a profound existential threat, and we lapped that shit up.

Or some did. Despite this heartwarming feat of bipartisanship, plenty of people retained their critical thinking skills and mobilized a record-breaking international protest. Not everyone was in favor of expansionism.

the machinery of empire

Now it's worth looking at Oblivion's weirder and cooler older sibling, Morrowind. Though it leaves plenty of room for your character development, the plot centers at least some extant critique of empire.

(please note it's been a long time and I'm murky on the plot but) the Nerevarine begins as a Blades asset who eventually brings an unruly province to heel. The player can interpret this any number of ways, but the game is explicitly presenting foreign intervention through the character of Caius Cosades. He leaves you to it once you become a self-sustaining instrument of soft power.

Most of this has been excised in Oblivion. In fact, Ocato tells the HoK that the Elder Council is pulling the Legion out of the provinces to address the crisis at home.

It's plausible to read this as a soft criticism of US foreign policy. There are a couple threads of non-interventionist thought that dominated opposition to the Iraq War: 1) the libertarian tendency, which was hardcore isolationist and 2) the liberal-left tendency, which called for defunding the military but might favor humanitarian aid to varying degrees.

Or it could just be a throwaway line. Fuck if I know! I still find it notable that the game had little interest in riffing on its predecessor, considering that the canon events are only a few years apart. Maybe something happened ✈️🏙️ that made people cagey about this stuff.

There was certainly a nod to religion as an arm of imperialism in Morrowind as well, through the missionaries. It makes sense that this wouldn't be visible in Cyrodiil, but where Morrowind gives you an ambiguous soup of competing faiths, Oblivion offers up a nice neat package.

crystal dragon jesus

The evangelical Christian right had a lot of political capital to throw around in the early 2000s, and a lot of visibility thanks to George W.'s cozy relationship. Freaky fringe millenarian shit was everywhere-- like the Left Behind series, which made the NYT bestseller list a few times.

This did not go unchallenged. Plenty of people found the bigotry repellent, the lobbying was a subject of national debate, and even that bitch John McCain was briefly bold enough to level criticisms at celebrity pastors.

Pop-culture Christianity was fairly anodyne, though it pains me to admit that. A few Christian bands broke into the mainstream charts (idgaf what anyone says, P.O.D. had some bangers). The "youth pastor sitting backwards in a chair trying to be cool" meme describes a genre of guy that spawned around this time.

Being an atheist during this time was more isolating than it is these days, but for the most part, it was some relief that most Christians wanted to distance themselves from the vocal fringes.

Enter Martin, my boy, my #1 projection dolly. The catholic themes are laid on THICK with the tonsured monks and the stained glass and the "I was once a devotee of the Fuck God" reveal. But he's like, quietly religious. Humble about it, even. He expresses some doubt! But in the end, when it's really down to the wire, he kicks Satan Mehrunes Dagon's horned red ass and then his dad The Lord a dragon lifts him to the heavens wherever incoporeal dragons hang out, and all humanity is saved. Subtle 👌

--

okay enough already

It could be argued that the fantasy genre as a whole skews reactionary-- other mega fantasy hits from the time were about returning to an ideal past (LOTR) and reviving traditions of the powerful (Eragon). Oblivion slots right into this. It is philosophically small-c conservative.

That doesn't automatically mean evangelical neocon. Maybe some of the game writers or company execs were those things. Fuck if I know!

But evangelical neocons were in charge of the global hegemony back then. It went right past me back in 2008 when I first played, because even though I loathed those fucking hogs, I was fresh outta high school and hadn't developed much of an eye for latent ideological currents. Over a decade later, when I picked the game up again, all this stuff was glaringly obvious.

This was the sewage we all waded in, and thus the game is just a reflection of the status quo.

I leave you with this song, which has nothing to do with Oblivion but it's funny how it aged like milk. I've been sending it to my IRL pop-punk-fan friends to torment them.

A pressure cooker is a kitchen appliance used to cook food quickly under high pressure. It works by trapping the steam generated from the boiling liquid inside the sealed container, which increases the pressure and temperature, thus reducing the cooking time. Pressure cookers are commonly used for cooking beans, grains, meat, and vegetables. They come in a variety of sizes and designs, including stovetop and electric models. Safety features like pressure release valves are essential to prevent accidents. When using a pressure cooker, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure safe and efficient cooking.

Brother knows best.

You know something Rantaro?

Yeah?

When you told me that you were gonna provide our ride to Mr Kizakura’s home...

This...isn’t exactly what I thought you meant.

Huh? Is there a problem?

Well...

*Shuichi looks out the window of the helicopter he and Rantaro are flying in.

You’re not afraid of heights are you?

No, not really. It’s just...isn’t this a bit much?

I wouldn’t say so. We’ve got a chopper on hand, and an ace pilot~

...

*Nico gives a thumbs up from the seat up front, wearing prescription sunglasses and headphones.

Plus, if we want to get here and back again, we can avoid traffic and train delays like this, right?

Uh huh...I guess when you put it like that...

Don’t worry, it’s fine. Nico’s not gonna go crashing into anything.

We’re on official business 404, refer to me as Agent Static.

Right, right, sorry...

...

You ok? You really that worried about the flight?

No, I’m alright with the flight...I’m just thinking about other things...

Like what?

Just...a lot of self-loathing really...I’m looking back at everything that happened yesterday night and...realizing that I was so stupid...!

...

I don’t quite know for sure if my feelings on the matter have changed but...doing what I did...hitting Kuripa back, calling everyone useless...and hiding from a truth I couldn’t accept.

Hehe...

*Shuichi hangs his head.

I haven’t changed...I’m the same coward I’ve always been...Unable to accept the truth, therefore I question whether it’s right to even reveal it...

But you still did so, right?

...?

I might not have been around to watch for myself, but I’ve heard stories about the things you did. Sounds like a lot of people have reason to thank you.

I’m not going to claim that I’m the reason we survived the Killing Game, Rantaro...If that was the case, more of us would have gotten out alive.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Killing Game’s, it’s this...No matter what, they always take up around 6 chapters of our lives.

Huh?

I’m saying that no matter what, Danganronpa would have gone on for as long as the creators willed it. If something had gone wrong in production, they would have fixed it.

Say Tsumugi dies, they’ll just make someone else the Mastermind and incorporate it into the plot. 

So...the fact that 3 of you got out as opposed to 2? It’s not much better, but it’s still an improvement over the fact.

...

I still feel like I haven’t learned anything...I thought after the Killing Game ended, and we got a chance to live new lives here, I believed I had what it took to help people...

And with Mrs Kyoko taking a shine to me, I thought I could do it...But in the end, I became arrogant and self-centered, and I took things too far...Now in an attempt to rescue the girl I love, I ended up setting us all back...

I ruined everything...

...

*Rantaro pats Shuichi on the shoulder, and turns him around to look in his eyes.

You know what the biggest problem with you is?

...Huh?

it’s not that you’re weak, nor is it that you let your emotions and feelings get the better of you. You’re smart, compassionate, and you’re generally a good guy.

I know you hit some bumps recently, but even the most patient man cannot retain his stance 24/7.

No...the problem with you, Shuichi, and what has always been your biggest weakness...Is that you rely too much on the people around you.

Huh?

Hm...Ok, maybe the more accurate phrasing would be that you’re...too dependent.

I’m not ashamed to rely on my friends. If anything, I think the fact that I have friends who I can be there for, and who will be there for me, is a good thing.

It is! 

But it’s because you think that, that clouds your judgement.

You’ve gotten so used to having people by your side that you assume that you can fall back on them all the time, every time, whenever you’re in a rough situation.

Up until now, that’s been true. Kaede and Kaito in particular always have your back.

But with the current situation...I mean...You get the picture...

Kaede’s not with me and...Kaito is...

To be honest, you sort of pushed him away. I think that might be on you.

...

Too honest? Sorry...

On top of that though, Kyoko has made it hard for you to really rely or depend on anyone, now that she’s cut you off.

I mean...There’s you who’s helping me now, right?

Hahaha!

I’m sorry...Who was it again that said he couldn’t trust me under any circumstance?

...!?

You’re taking back what you said only because I’m the one person who’s still here for you. Do you see the problem now?

...

Trapped in a potential death trap or not, the reality that you can’t accept, Shuichi, is that your friends aren’t always going to be there for you.

I mean...All your friends are striving towards different goals. Kaito wants to go to space, Maki wants to settle down somewhere...Even though you’re all fighting against Zetsubou, they’re all free to make their own choices, and in those situations...They can’t be there for you, and there’s little you can do to help them. 

Not to mention that in those times, you need to decide yourself exactly what you want to make of yourself too.

The more time you have together, the better. You’re happy with your friends and family around you, and I’m in no way saying you should ditch them and start living a life you’re not enjoying.

But there are times in life where you need to deal with problems ALONE. Or times where you need to take charge and be EVERYONE ELSE’S emotional crutch.

And THAT is what you lack, which stops you from being the kind of leader and detective YOU want to be.

...

To be honest, it’s kind of Kyoko and Byakuya’s fault too. Sure, they had good enough reason, given that you saved the Future Foundation from total inside collapse

But the fact that you were able to pull that off doesn’t necessarily mean you have what it takes to be a Branch Chief. We all have different skills for different tasks.

Rich coming from someone who’s good at almost everything.

Hmph! You have no idea! In our world, Agent 404 is as big a noob as they come!

Seriously, he barely even knows how to brush his teeth properly!

Thank you Static...Good to know you care...

But she’s right you know...I get how easy it is to fall for the trap of relying on everyone around you who seems more capable...But if you do that...then you limit how much you yourself can grow.

If you really think you haven’t changed much...I think that may be the reason why.

...

Maybe you’re right...But what can I do to fix that?

Shuichi...asking me would be missing the point entirely.

Only YOU can figure that out...

...

Hey, I think we’re near our location. Anywhere I can safely land this thing?

There’s a park not too far away, just drop us off there. Take off as soon as we’re out so the local police don’t come for you.

Isn’t Himuro-san a member of the government though?

Yes, but for finance. It’s not a good look if she’s using a chopper for her own personal use.

Just let me know when you finish up down there.

Let’s go.

...Yeah...

*knock!* *knock!* *knock!*

Hm?

*Koichi hears a knock at his door, and goes to answer it. Shuichi and Rantaro stand in the doorway, Shuichi akwardly diverting his gaze while Rantaro retains a stern expression.

H-Hello, Mr Kizakura...It’s been a while.

Ah! Young Mr Saihara, nice of you to drop by!

Who’s your friend?

Oh, this is Ran-

Uh! This is Agent 404...of ERR0RM3SS4GE.

ERR0R0M3SS4GE? Isn’t that this...phantom thief hacker group thing that’s been going around lately?

My real name is Rantaro. I’m actually an old friend of Shuichi’s.

...!

You sure you should be telling me that stuff?

Think of it as an equivalent exchange. We have...lots of questions we need to ask you today. And I’m gonna need you to trust me.

Oh yeah? Hehe...What can I help you with?

...

Mr Kizakura...It’s been a while since we last spoke, so I imagine you’re a little out of the loop...But recently, one of our agents was trapped by Organization Zetsubou in a heavy-duty, militaristic lab.

Sounds rough...

Yes...But the reason we’re here is because we think you may have some information.

The trapped agent turned up some old documents that proved the lab was property of the Future Foundation back in the day...and you, sir, were one of the agents who was present in the operations of the lab.

...!

*Koichi’s face becomes serious.

Just to check...did you find out what exactly was going on at that lab?

All we know is that it has something to do with contamination, and that human test subjects were involved. Your name appeared on the documents though, so we figured we’d have to come to you for any more information.

...

Are you willing to let us in to talk?

Just one question...did Kyoko put you up to this?

No. This is a personal investigation. The more we know about the lab, the better.

Though more than likely, I will be reporting the findings of my results to her once the incident is resolved.

...

Hmph...Fine, I guess I’ll bite. Come on in, both of you.

...!

...That was easy.

*Rantaro and Shuichi fist bump as Koichi lets them in his house.

Audio Communication Monitoring Market Witnesses Surge in Adoption Among Healthcare and Insurance Providers

Understanding the Audio Communication Monitoring Market: Trends, Drivers, and Future Outlook

In an era where communication is critical to business operations, customer engagement, and regulatory compliance, the audio communication monitoring market has gained substantial importance. From customer service centers to financial institutions, organizations around the globe are leveraging audio monitoring technologies to ensure quality assurance, compliance, and enhanced user experiences. As digital transformation accelerates, this market is evolving rapidly, offering vast potential for growth and innovation.

What is Audio Communication Monitoring?

Audio communication monitoring refers to the process of recording, analyzing, and assessing audio interactions—typically telephone conversations or voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls—for various purposes such as compliance monitoring, customer service quality, employee performance evaluation, and security. These systems can capture live conversations and apply speech analytics to extract insights, detect anomalies, or ensure adherence to legal standards.

The tools used range from simple call recorders to advanced AI-powered platforms that provide real-time transcription, sentiment analysis, keyword spotting, and even predictive behavior analytics.

Market Drivers

Several key factors are fueling the growth of the audio communication monitoring market:

1. Regulatory Compliance

Industries such as finance, healthcare, and legal services are governed by strict regulations that mandate call recording and auditing. Laws like MiFID II in Europe and the Dodd-Frank Act in the United States require businesses to retain records of client communications. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and reputational damage, making reliable monitoring systems a necessity.

2. Enhanced Customer Experience

Customer service organizations increasingly rely on audio monitoring to evaluate agent performance and identify service issues. Speech analytics can reveal customer sentiment, pinpoint training gaps, and suggest improvements that boost satisfaction and retention.

3. Security and Fraud Detection

With growing concerns about data breaches and fraud, especially in sectors like banking and insurance, audio communication monitoring tools help detect suspicious behavior or unauthorized information sharing in real-time.

4. Technological Advancements

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning has revolutionized the capabilities of audio monitoring systems. These technologies enable automated tagging, intelligent searching, and contextual analysis, dramatically increasing the usefulness of collected data.

Key Market Segments

The market can be segmented based on several factors:

By Deployment: On-premise vs. Cloud-based solutions. While on-premise deployments offer greater control, cloud-based solutions are gaining popularity due to scalability, lower upfront costs, and ease of integration.

By End-Use Industry: The financial sector remains a major user due to compliance needs, but adoption is expanding in healthcare, retail, government, IT, and telecommunications.

By Application: The most common applications include law enforcement, call centers, trading desks, and crisis response teams.

Challenges in the Market

Despite its advantages, the audio communication monitoring market faces a few hurdles:

Privacy Concerns: Invasive monitoring practices can raise ethical and legal issues. Compliance with data protection laws like GDPR and HIPAA is essential, especially when dealing with sensitive information.

Data Management: Handling and storing vast volumes of audio data requires robust infrastructure and well-defined policies to prevent data loss and ensure accessibility.

Integration Complexities: Legacy systems often struggle to integrate with modern AI-driven monitoring platforms, slowing down digital transformation initiatives.

Competitive Landscape

The market is moderately fragmented, with key players including NICE Ltd., Verint Systems Inc., Cisco Systems, IBM Corporation, and Genesys. These companies are focusing on product innovation, strategic partnerships, and geographic expansion to strengthen their market positions. Startups and niche vendors are also emerging, particularly in the AI-based analytics segment, driving innovation and competitive pricing.

Regional Insights

North America holds the largest market share, driven by strong regulatory frameworks and early technology adoption. Europe follows closely, particularly in banking and finance sectors. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth, fueled by rising investments in IT infrastructure, expanding contact center operations, and increasing awareness of compliance requirements.

The Road Ahead

As the hybrid work model becomes the norm and remote interactions increase, the need for robust communication monitoring tools will only grow. Future developments will likely focus on real-time monitoring, emotional intelligence analytics, and integration with omnichannel platforms. Additionally, evolving regulations around AI and privacy will influence market dynamics and innovation.

In conclusion, the audio communication monitoring market stands at a critical juncture. Businesses that invest in modern monitoring solutions not only ensure compliance but also gain strategic insights that can improve operations and customer relations. As technology continues to evolve, so will the sophistication and scope of audio communication monitoring making it a cornerstone of modern enterprise communication strategies.

AI Call Centers: Boosting Efficiency, Reducing Costs, and Improving Customer Experience (CX)

In an era where customer expectations are higher than ever, businesses are under mounting pressure to deliver seamless, responsive, and personalized customer service. The call center, long considered the front line of customer interaction, is undergoing a significant transformation. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), modern call centers are becoming more efficient, cost-effective, and customer-focused. AI is not only redefining the traditional call center model but also laying the groundwork for a future where customer experiences are proactive, intelligent, and effortlessly human-like.

The Rise of AI in Call Centers

AI technologies have made significant inroads into many aspects of business, and customer service is no exception. In the context of call centers, AI refers to the use of machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), speech recognition, sentiment analysis, and robotic process automation (RPA) to automate and enhance customer interactions.

From AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants to intelligent routing and real-time analytics, these tools help streamline operations, improve agent performance, and deliver faster and more personalized customer support. As a result, businesses can handle a greater volume of interactions with increased precision and reduced operational costs.

Enhancing Efficiency Through Automation

One of the most immediate benefits of AI in call centers is the dramatic boost in operational efficiency. Traditional call centers rely heavily on human agents to manage inquiries, which can lead to bottlenecks during peak hours. AI mitigates this issue through automation:

Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: These tools can handle a wide range of routine queries—such as checking account balances, tracking orders, or resetting passwords—without human intervention. This allows human agents to focus on more complex or sensitive issues.

Intelligent Call Routing: AI systems can analyze caller data and intent in real-time and route them to the most appropriate department or agent. This reduces wait times and first-call resolution rates.

Speech Analytics and Voice Recognition: These tools monitor live calls to identify keywords, emotional tone, and customer sentiment, offering real-time guidance to agents and ensuring adherence to compliance and service standards.

Together, these innovations drastically reduce handling times, improve issue resolution rates, and enable 24/7 service availability.

Cost Reduction Without Compromising Quality

Staffing is typically the most significant cost center for call centers. Hiring, training, and retaining agents is both expensive and time-consuming. AI reduces the reliance on large agent pools by automating many repetitive tasks and supporting agents with smart tools that make their work more effective.

Lower Training Costs: AI-powered platforms can guide new agents with real-time coaching and support, shortening the learning curve and reducing the need for extensive training programs.

Reduced Turnover: With AI handling mundane tasks, agents are more likely to remain engaged and satisfied with their roles, leading to lower attrition rates.

Scalable Solutions: AI systems can be scaled up or down quickly depending on demand, making them ideal for handling seasonal spikes in call volumes without hiring additional staff.

Importantly, these cost-saving measures don’t compromise the quality of service. In fact, they often enhance it by ensuring customers receive faster, more accurate, and more consistent responses.

Improving Customer Experience (CX)

Customer experience has emerged as a key differentiator in today’s competitive marketplace. AI helps companies exceed customer expectations in the following ways:

Personalization: AI analyzes past interactions, purchase history, and customer behavior to deliver tailored experiences. Whether it’s recommending products or preemptively addressing concerns, AI creates a more personalized and satisfying interaction.

Proactive Engagement: AI can predict when a customer may need assistance based on behavioral cues and reach out before the customer even initiates contact.

Multichannel Support: Modern customers interact with brands across a variety of platforms—email, social media, chat, and phone. AI ensures consistent and integrated support across all these channels, creating a unified and seamless experience.

Moreover, with AI’s ability to understand natural language and context, conversations with virtual agents feel more human and less robotic, further enhancing customer satisfaction.

Empowering Human Agents

Rather than replacing human agents, AI empowers them by acting as a supportive co-pilot. Real-time analytics and recommendations help agents resolve issues faster and with greater confidence. Some of the key ways AI assists human agents include:

Real-time Suggestions: Based on the ongoing conversation, AI can suggest responses, highlight relevant information, or flag potential compliance risks.

Knowledge Management: AI-powered knowledge bases can surface the right answers instantly, reducing the time agents spend searching for information.

Performance Analytics: AI can provide feedback on agent performance, pinpoint areas for improvement, and identify training opportunities.

By relieving agents from routine tasks and equipping them with powerful tools, AI enables them to deliver higher-quality interactions that build customer loyalty.

Overcoming Challenges and Concerns

Despite its many advantages, the integration of AI in call centers is not without challenges. Key concerns include:

Data Privacy: AI systems rely heavily on data, raising concerns about how customer information is collected, stored, and used. Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations is critical.

Customer Trust: Some customers may prefer speaking with a human and may feel frustrated by automated systems. It’s essential to provide easy access to human agents when needed.

Implementation Costs: While AI reduces costs over time, the initial investment in technology and infrastructure can be significant, particularly for small and mid-sized businesses.

However, with thoughtful implementation, clear communication, and a balanced approach that combines automation with human empathy, these challenges can be effectively managed.

The Future of AI-Powered Call Centers

As AI technologies continue to evolve, the future of call centers looks increasingly intelligent and adaptive. Innovations on the horizon include:

Emotion AI: Systems that detect and respond to emotional cues in real-time will make interactions even more empathetic and human-like.

Hyper-Personalization: AI will offer increasingly nuanced and predictive customer experiences based on deep behavioral insights.

Voice Cloning and Avatars: AI-generated voices and digital avatars may soon be able to mimic human tones and expressions, further blurring the line between human and machine.

The integration of AI will continue to redefine the role of the call center—from a reactive service hub to a proactive, strategic asset that drives customer loyalty and business growth.

Conclusion

AI call centers represent a transformative leap in how businesses engage with their customers. By boosting efficiency, cutting costs, and elevating the quality of service, AI is reshaping customer support into a smarter, faster, and more personalized experience. While challenges remain, the benefits are clear: empowered agents, satisfied customers, and a more agile, cost-effective support operation. As AI technology matures, businesses that embrace this evolution will be better positioned to thrive in the age of customer-centric innovation.

Improving Response Time with Generative AI in Customer Service

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, customers expect quick, accurate, and personalized responses to their queries. Long wait times and inefficient support processes can lead to frustration, negatively impacting customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. This is where Generative AI in customer service plays a crucial role. By leveraging AI-powered automation, businesses can dramatically improve response times while maintaining high-quality customer interactions.

Understanding Generative AI in Customer Service

Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence models capable of generating human-like text, responses, and even conversations based on contextual data. Unlike traditional AI chatbots that rely on scripted responses, Generative AI can understand context, generate personalized responses, and learn from past interactions to continuously improve. Tools like ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized how customer service teams operate by streamlining communication and reducing response times.

How Generative AI Improves Response Time

1. Instant Query Resolution

Generative AI enables real-time interactions with customers by providing immediate responses to their questions. This eliminates the need for long wait times associated with human agents, improving efficiency and customer satisfaction.

2. Automating Repetitive Queries

A significant portion of customer service inquiries consists of repetitive questions, such as order status, refund policies, and product troubleshooting. Generative AI can handle these common queries autonomously, allowing human agents to focus on more complex issues.

3. Smart Routing & Prioritization

AI-powered systems can analyze incoming queries and route them to the appropriate department or agent based on urgency and complexity. This reduces unnecessary delays and ensures high-priority issues are addressed first.

4. Contextual Understanding & Memory

Unlike traditional chatbots, Generative AI retains contextual information from previous interactions, enabling it to provide relevant and personalized responses. This prevents customers from repeating information, streamlining the resolution process.

5. Multichannel Support

Modern customer service happens across multiple channels, including email, chat, social media, and phone. Generative AI integrates seamlessly across platforms, ensuring consistent and instant responses regardless of the communication channel.

6. 24/7 Availability

Human agents require shifts and breaks, but Generative AI operates 24/7, ensuring that customers receive assistance at any time of the day or night. This is particularly beneficial for global businesses catering to different time zones.

Real-World Applications of Generative AI in Customer Service

1. AI-Powered Chatbots

Companies like Amazon and Shopify use generative AI-powered chatbots to handle customer queries efficiently, reducing response time and agent workload.

2. Automated Email Responses

AI-driven email assistants can draft quick, accurate, and context-aware responses to customer inquiries, significantly cutting down response delays.

3. AI-Assisted Human Agents

AI can assist human agents by suggesting real-time responses based on customer input, allowing them to respond faster and more effectively.

4. Voice AI for Call Centers

Voice AI systems can analyze customer sentiment, provide real-time call insights, and even resolve simple queries through voice interactions without human intervention.

Challenges & Considerations

While Generative AI offers immense potential, businesses must consider a few challenges:

Accuracy & Hallucinations: AI-generated responses may sometimes be inaccurate or misleading. Businesses need to ensure AI outputs align with brand policies and facts.

Human Oversight: AI should complement human agents, not replace them. Complex issues still require human empathy and decision-making.

Data Privacy & Security: Companies must prioritize customer data protection and ensure AI models comply with privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).

Conclusion

Generative AI is transforming customer service by significantly reducing response times and enhancing the overall customer experience. From automating repetitive queries to providing instant support across multiple channels, businesses that embrace this technology gain a competitive edge. However, successful implementation requires continuous monitoring, human oversight, and a customer-first approach to ensure AI-driven interactions remain accurate, ethical, and engaging.

By leveraging Generative AI in customer service, businesses can create a more efficient, responsive, and scalable customer support system—ensuring happier customers and stronger brand loyalty

Conversational AI for Intelligent Contact Centers

In today's digital era, businesses strive to provide exceptional customer experiences while optimizing operational efficiency. Traditional contact centers, often burdened with high call volumes, long wait times, and agent burnout, require a transformation. Conversational AI for Intelligent Contact Center is emerging as a game-changer, redefining how businesses interact with customers. By leveraging AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants, intelligent contact centers can enhance customer satisfaction, streamline workflows, and reduce operational costs.

The Role of Conversational AI in Contact Centers

Conversational AI leverages technologies like natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), and speech recognition to understand and respond to customer queries in real time. It powers chatbots, voice assistants, and virtual agents, enabling businesses to provide seamless support across multiple communication channels such as phone, chat, email, and social media.

Key benefits of Conversational AI for Intelligent Contact Centers include:

24/7 Availability: AI-driven virtual assistants handle customer inquiries round the clock, ensuring no query goes unanswered.

Reduced Wait Times: Intelligent automation eliminates long hold times by instantly addressing common queries or routing customers to the appropriate human agent.

Personalization: Advanced AI analyzes customer history and preferences to deliver tailored responses, improving engagement and satisfaction.

Cost Efficiency: Automating routine interactions reduces the workload on human agents, lowering operational costs.

Scalability: Conversational AI can handle multiple interactions simultaneously, making it ideal for businesses with high customer interaction volumes.

Enhancing Customer Experience with AI-Powered Conversations

One of the most significant advantages of Conversational AI in contact centers is its ability to provide a human-like and context-aware conversation experience. With advanced AI models, chatbots and voice assistants can interpret complex customer requests, detect sentiment, and provide relevant solutions dynamically.

For instance, if a customer contacts support regarding a delayed shipment, the AI system can retrieve order details, provide an estimated delivery time, and offer alternative solutions without requiring human intervention. Additionally, if the issue requires escalation, the AI can seamlessly transfer the interaction to a live agent while retaining the context, ensuring a smooth customer journey.

Boosting Agent Productivity with AI Assistance

While Conversational AI enhances customer experience, it also plays a crucial role in assisting human agents. AI-powered tools can:

Provide real-time suggestions: AI listens to customer interactions and suggests the best responses or solutions to agents in real time.

Automate routine tasks: Tasks like data entry, follow-ups, and appointment scheduling can be handled by AI, allowing agents to focus on complex queries.

Enable sentiment analysis: AI detects customer emotions and guides agents in handling interactions empathetically.

By integrating Conversational AI, organizations can enhance agent productivity, reduce burnout, and foster a more efficient work environment.

Future Trends in AI-Driven Contact Centers

As Conversational AI continues to evolve, contact centers will witness further advancements, including:

AI-powered voice analytics: Detecting customer emotions and providing tailored responses.

Multilingual AI assistants: Breaking language barriers and enabling global customer support.

Proactive AI interactions: Anticipating customer needs and offering solutions before they even reach out.

Companies looking to stay ahead in customer experience transformation must adopt Conversational AI solutions that are scalable, intelligent, and adaptable to future needs.

The Justice Department’s campaign of retribution against officials who investigated President Trump and his supporters accelerated late Friday with the firing of more than a dozen federal prosecutors at the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, according to a department memo.

Emil Bove, the acting No. 2 official at the department, offered no evidence those targeted had done anything improper, illegal or unethical. Instead he cited a legal technicality.

Those informed of their dismissals had been hired to investigate the Jan. 6 riot as the office struggled to manage what became the largest prosecution in the department’s history.

The move came on a day when the F.B.I. indicated it would scrutinize thousands of rank-and-file agents involved in Trump and Jan. 6 investigations. It amounted to a powerful indication that Mr. Trump has few qualms deploying the colossal might of federal law enforcement to punish perceived political enemies, even as his cabinet nominees offered sober assurances they would abide by the rule of law.

Mr. Bove, who has overseen an opening volley of threats, firings and forced transfers since the inauguration, accused the Biden administration of illegally hiring prosecutors in recent months to permanent posts after being assigned to the Jan. 6 cases through the department’s probationary hiring program.

The hirings, he wrote, “improperly hindered” acting U.S. attorney Ed Martin from fulfilling his “obligation to faithfully implement the agenda that the American people elected President Trump to execute.”

Mr. Bove said he would not “tolerate subversive personnel actions” and suggested the now-empty slots would be used to make “merit-based” hires. 

Mr. Martin, an ultraconservative activist who supported the far-reaching clemency for the rioters convicted of storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has himself issued a series of threatening memos and emails instructing career prosecutors to follow his directives or quit.

In his memo, Mr. Bove directed supervisors to “preserve all records, including documents, emails, text messages, and other electronic communications” — leaving open the possibility that they could face disciplinary action over the decision to retain and hire them.

The memo capped a week of chaos, menace and bombast seldom seem at the department, which Mr. Trump has repeatedly described as the center of a “deep state” conspiracy in the federal bureaucracy to destroy him.

On Monday James McHenry, the acting attorney general, fired more than a dozen prosecutors who worked for the special counsel who prosecuted Mr. Trump, Jack Smith, saying they could not be trusted to “faithfully implement” the president’s agenda, a Justice Department spokesman said.

Justice Department veterans called the firings an egregious violation of well-established laws meant to preserve the integrity and professionalism of government agencies.

What made it all the more jarring, current and former officials said, was that such a momentous and aggressive step had been initiated by an acting attorney general, operating on behalf of a president with a stated desire for vengeance, and few advisers with the stature or inclination to restrain him.
