A fine line is being walked between that illusion of safety and whatever information is being withheld. The attempted block on the rumor mill either came too late and the patrol is simply trying to keep order, or there was some sort of complication that would instill panic. I don't like either option.

We're in agreement, I see. I'm afraid any method of protection I could offer is difficult to teach, but if you find yourself in need of assistance, I'd be glad to help.
