Letters to Super C: #7
This letter was originally written back in July of 2019, although it refers to events from earlier than that. The man who wrote this letter has since retired from the company.
To the Cat of Steel, SuperCat
Dear Sir:
I work for QubicaAMF Worldwide, the company that initially commissioned Nathan Knight (Cripto) to create that bowling package, the Bowl O'Rama. I felt I, on behalf of the whole company, owed you an apology as well as the whole organization, because it was a few of the higher-up bosses that don't work there now who pressured him into creating that bowling package with his powers. We admit that he shouldn't have used his powers like that, but it was our fault more so than his because the people who forced him to create that stuff literally gave him just five minutes to think of the whole thing; he is truly creative. Why do I say "forced?" Because we know now that there were CNG smugglers involved trying to use that stuff to influence the company into doing rash things. As a result, when the people called him to make the request, they came off as bossy and demanding, and said, "You're doing this, or else, we're filing false police reports on you!" You guessed it. The smugglers died the next day.
Is that why you placed the demerit system on him? Either way, we want you to be angry at us, not him. CNG wants us to dwell on it day in and day out, but we're not, because we saw it as him acting in self-defense.
Sincerely,
Bobby Robinson, age 47 (human being)
Mechanicsville, Virginia, USA
P.S. My hometown is home to company headquarters; you can also find headquarters in Bologna, Italy. Wonder if you've been there?
Super C's response:
Dear Bobby:
There are certain things the G-52 Code of Conduct forbids discussing in public and/or with the public, but I will tell you that this is just one of the reasons we placed the demerit system on Cripto; the other reasons are forbidden. The system has expanded to all G-52s, but in Cripto's case, it was for his own good, and it was to teach him that he didn't need his powers for everything. That, his stint in the Army National Guard (albeit a short one), and some other counseling, were the first steps; since then, he has made substantial progress, and we're proud of the improvements he's made. Now there are other areas the rest of us need to work on, so we need to focus on those instead of reverting to old bad habits, one of which was glorifying Cripto to the point of no return. (He subsequently let it go to his head without knowing he was letting it go to his head. So we all failed in that regard.)
However, the organization and I personally accept your apology, since there was a side to the story that wasn't being told. It was still the right move for us to ding Cripto with a demerit because he gave into temptation, but the fault was equally yours because you provided the temptation. But if CNG effects were what gave you folks the idea to start with, let alone pressuring my number one into panicking, it's a different sort of issue than if it was your genuine idea to exploit his powers for your own gain. It wasn't.
That being said, the Bowl O'Rama is his best-selling invention, and his powers automatically power it because of the way it pays people to bowl. However, he recommends people still work regular day or night jobs, because you can't really make a living just earning money from bowling on that machine. And besides, not many homes have bowling alleys in their homes.
If the C.I.D.F. doesn't know about this, let them know; they keep records of all CNG-related incidents, even if it is a cold case.
Thanks for writing to me, and let's keep in touch. I enjoy talking to the people my duties as the G-52 commanding officer state I am sworn to protect.
Respectfully yours,
Simon Corrineson, a.k.a. the SuperCat, the Cat of Steel
P.S. I have not been to Bologna; at least, I don't think I have.

Super C's seventh letter, referencing an earlier case of how the public pressured Cripto into exploiting his powers for their own gain. These days, anybody who wants to do that dies from attacks related to the CNG crisis.

Chuong: Bologna is where Leonardo the Renaissance Lion lives in so we've been there.
Zax: Earth's oldest university is in that city too.
Konrad: Does Bologna have a lot of CNG cases?
Zax: No, but almost enough to get people worried as heck. One more CNG related incident there, the government there will order their humans to hide in their bomb shelters or stay at home under lockdown orders.

Super C: I think at the time this letter was written, I hadn't traveled to that place yet. Sometimes my memory fails me.
Leo: Is that where you dove into the volcano? Sometimes my memory fails me as well.
Cripto: No; I think that was in Sicily. Too bad I didn't get there fast enough; the smuggler was already dead.
