[ Steph has set up this PSA perfectly framed so that everyone can see the exasperated expression on her face. Not angry, thankfully that whole ordeal is over, but deeply unimpressed by her fellow interdimensional travellers. ]

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone of Murphy's Law.

You may not call it that. You may not know it exists. But I promise you, it holds true for every culture, in every time period, in every universe:

Anything that can go wrong, will.

Does it seem like a bad idea? It is. Is there a chance it'll blow up in your face? It will, and probably everyone else's face too. Is it going to make strangers mad at you? Don't do it.

[ She looks the camera dead in the eye, glaring as though she can stop people from being stupid by sheer force of will. She will damn well try regardless.

I'll take it either way. And it is useful to have a tech expert on the team. The... completely hypothetical team that... hasn't actually been needed yet, much less put together.

[ But she has some reliable people in mind! In case she needs them for Batgirl things. ]

Ahaha!

[ There's no helping Monika's reasoning, alas! ]

Well let's hope said hypothetical team will remain unneeded... But unless the culprit is found, I have my doubts about it.

Given the general pattern of my life, it's going to happen sooner or later. Murphy's Law, y'know.

Don't worry too much about these guys, though. If they're stupid, they'll meet up or talk when I'm watching. If not, they'll wait a few weeks until they think I'm not watching. A few months of casual surveillance should be plenty.
