The hours go by slowly when there is not much happening, but that doesn't mean Nagi is any less alert. He sits at his work desk, which is basically a giant holo projection monitor that covers the entire wall, updating location, surveillance, audio capture, social media, news feeds, everything in real time. One slip of information that he misses could have consequences, even if it doesn't look like anything exciting is about to occur any time soon. Criminals don't always have the most predictable patterns, or else Nagi could've written a program to do his job.

That doesn't mean he's got to put his eyeballs on everything, though. He's written a program to alert him to any anomalies that should trigger further investigation, like a phone call made to any particular numbers, or avatars that sign in to certain locations on the VR. Meanwhile, Nagi himself keeps most of his attention on the map that lights up half the wall, which can pinpoint the location of a mouse within a meter radius of that neighborhood, in three dimensions. Nagi created this map himself, based off of one he once programmed back in high school of their academy.

His gaze pauses on the dot that signifies the location of his partner, who is currently following a lead on the streets.

"Ever wish you were the one sitting behind a desk at midnight?" he muses thoughtfully. The rainy weather has finally let up today, at least. A damp stakeout can be messy.
