You showed that that incident got stepped on, yes. But you also showed us Zeb not being particularly surprised about being publically confronted in a massively-aggressive way by the DIA. The impression I got was that that's how he kind of expects the DIA to act - even though they're not supposed to. I came out with the impression that the rules are generally winked at unless someone goes way too far.

I hadn't noticed that all the DIA instances were people forwarding them (see what we mean about people getting impressions that weren't what you were aiming for?); it actually doesn't make any difference, though, because - for instance - Agent Des forwarded an email because, what, someone may have hacked his emails? And he clearly expects the DIA to do something about that? That's a very intrusive, very we-will-control-everything picture of the DIA right there, and it's one that I don't particularly like.

(But, y'know, I also don't particularly like the tendency for Bad Slash missions to be high-rated, the fact that people don't use appropriate disguises, and the way the Department of Floaters has ballooned up into one of the largest in the PPC. It's a good thing my preferences aren't The Law, n'est pas?)
