Shucks, guy left the party before SWAT got on scene.

Got my hands on that night vision scope today. I'm disapointed, not what I thought it was going to be at all. I've got it upstairs, some UNVS 441, or something like that. It'd be OK for body shots but not any real precision shooting. 3x magnification and a very small luminated cross hair.

Sarge said the view is crystal clear though. I'm going to check it out tonight. I'm also already trying to talk them into trading it for something I can use.

Just a little clarification. Our version of SWAT is actually called the Emergecy Service Unit and has been around since the '20's, when they used to drive around in fire truck-type vehicles with Thompsons and messed with gangsters. They're actually a lot better trained than the average SWAT team in that they can do so much more. They can fix potholes, break into stuck elevators, scuba dive, do urban search and rescue, pick locks, open up wrecked cars and do almost anything in addition to the usual SWAT stuff. I've seen them in action a couple of times and they are the very best. They also took the bulk of our casualties at the World Trade Center.

Score this one for the Detective Bureau. I'd bet that it was one of their guys on the security detail for the Speaker that took the shot.
