BETE NOIRE

NETWORK	Who: Sam and Lithuania What: Sam has no idea he's in a different city. Go dystopias! When: 08 November 2009 (very early morning)	(I seem to be having trouble accessing Central Computer from here. Anyone else having this problem?)
NETWORK	Who: The Magistrate and Sam What: Sam has a NAME to look up, dammit. When: 08 November 2009 (ditto)	(Maybe you can explain what's gone wrong with the network.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Ginger What: Checking into the Victoria Hotel. When: 08 November 2009 (and again)	(Involuntarily, he looks her up and down. Definitely not what he'd expected to come walking out to greet him, and her appearance makes him act gentler, a little less businesslike, than he would otherwise.)
LOG	Who: Sam and the Magistrate What: A job interview. When: 08 November 2009	(At least for the moment, he has to operate on the assumption that this isn't a dream.)
NETWORK	Who: Rose and Sam What: Another confused arrival. When: 09 November 2009	([[Heeey, this thing does video.]])
NETWORK	Who: Nite Owl and Sam What: Someone's trying to make sense of all this. When: 09 November 2009	(It had been an unusual day.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Ethan Vaughn What: A chance encounter in Victoria's bar. When: 12 November 2009	(He sends a couple more quick, uncertain glances at the other man before he decides to speak. "Do you know what a F26-L is?")
NETWORK	Who: Percy Weasley and Sam What: Sam has a new co-worker! When: 15 November 2009	(That's perfectly alright. I'll be right down.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Percy What: ...and they don't get on very well. When: 15 November 2009	("...it's not like it's the first unusual thing I've heard since arriving here, so I shouldn't have... My apologies.")
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie Stackhouse What: Sam and Sookie meet for the first time. Sam is instantly smitten. When: 15 November 2009	(It's really not that interesting, is it? Also, was he seriously trying to impress her with this? ...Did he have anything else to work with?)
NETWORK	Who: The Magistrate and Sam. What: The Magistrate schedules a staff meeting. When: 24 November 2009	(We'll be ready to start working when you need us.)
NETWORK	Who: Sookie and Sam What: Sookie's planning a get-together. When: 28 November 2009	(Of course I've never celebrated the holiday before, but if you're looking for people to share the day with it would be a pleasure to join you.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: A Thanksgiving dinner. When: 01 December 2009	(This is not a bleeding date, a small voice in his head reminded him. The rest of him didn't seem to be getting that.)
LOG	Who: Sam, Percy and the Magistrate What: Sam and Percy finally find out the Magistrate's evil plan. When: 04 December 2009	("But, I thought... our job was going to be in writing policy." Not carrying it out.)
NETWORK	Who: Everett Young and Sam What: The colonel's looking for researchers. When: 08 December 2009	(Look, I'm just telling you what I've heard.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: A first date. When: 08 December 2009	(Here he was on a date with another woman, and he couldn't help thinking about Jill. Jill, who he hadn't even spoken to. )
NETWORK	Who: Sam and Everett What: Sam accidentally broadcasts his frustration. When: 15 December 2009	(Well, considering how long it'll take me to sort through this mess, you should have plenty of time to get them in order.)
NETWORK	Who: Sookie and Sam What: More accidental video, this time on Sookie's part. When: 16 December 2009	(If I thought I could be any help, I'd come over and do something about your unruly customers.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: Sam's sending Sookie a Christmas gift... When: 22 December 2009	(Let me know if it doesn't fit right. I can have it fixed up in time.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam and Sookie What: ...and it goes over well! When: 22 December 2009	(Have you heard about the masquerade ball?)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: Date #2. Christmas dinner. D'awww. When: 25 December 2009	(He was terrified for that second before she smiled, but then -- she was smiling, and toying with her hair, and thanking him, and he was watching, allowing himself to want her, just for now.)
LOG	Who: Sam and John Constantine What: The only two men wearing costumes at a costume party. When: 31 December 2009	(Yes and no. "Just something I came up with." And this would be precisely why Sam should have known it was a bad idea.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Tony, Sam and Sookie What: Further encounters at the New Year's party. When: 31 December 2009	(For now he skirted the outside of the crowd around the dancefloor, champagne flute in hand, looking for his Woman in White.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: They're stuck in Sam's flat due to the storm, and Sam is not a restful sleeper. When: 02 January 2010 (very early morning)	(Sam let out a sound that was almost a laugh. It really wasn't supposed to be funny. But at least she was keeping up a good humour about it.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam and Benjamin What: Sam is a bit fail at survival skills. Luckily Benjamin is not. When: 03 January 2010	(We've lost running water here. Has anyone out there got it, still?)
LOG	Who: Sam, Ethan and Ba'al What: A desperate attempt to melt the snow results in a fire and a riot. Ooops. When: 09 January 2010	(Like the old days, Sam thought as he shook himself free from Ethan's grasp. Right. He was here, now.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Tony What: No snow no more. Time for a drink! When: 12 January 2010	(Right there, Sam decided that he liked Tony. He'd encountered other Englishmen in the city, but Constantine made him nervous and Percy was just too prim. Tony had an easy way about him.)
NETWORK	Who: The Magistrate, Selene and Sam What: New instructions from on high. When: 17 January 2010	(The focus has always been to lessen crime throughout the city. This is just another method of doing so.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam and Selene What: Young's stepped down as co-Chief. Can Selene handle things on her own? When: 18 January 2010	(I can handle organizing the placement of cameras and lights, but I think it best to leave the criminal psychology to the experts within the police themselves.)
NETWORK	Who: Laurence Dominic and Sam What: So about this police force... When: 23 January 2010	(The police force is personally funded by the Magistrate. We have more than enough for all the equipment we need. )
NETWORK	Who: Sam Tyler and Sam Lowry What: Tyler's just arrived and is just a little confused. When: 23 January 2010	(If you've got any money on you, you should look for the Victoria Hotel. If not, find the church.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Rachel Conway What: Accidental drug trips ahoy! When: 25 January 2010	("Oh God," he said, his voice weighed down by grim realization. "You're a reporter.")
NETWORK	Who: Everett and Sam What: Following his injury, the colonel is returning to police duty. When: 29 January 2010	(I'm sorry you had to bear the worst of the city's wrath.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Adam Monroe What: Magistrate's Tower asplode. When: 30 January 2010	(The floor is uneven, strewn with smouldering rubble. Sam concentrates on the placement of his feet, willing the room not to start doing pirouettes.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam, Everett and Selene What: The Secretary of Justice wants some answers. They may be slow in coming. When: 01 February 2010	(You've at least a hundred and fifty officers working the day shift; surely you can spare someone to investigate.)
NETWORK	Who: Sookie and Sam What: Sookie's checking in on everyone. When: 01 February 2010	(As soon as they were certain I wasn't going to keel over, I was sent off. I can hold an ice pack to my own head easily.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: Clearing the air. When: 01 February 2010	(The very first thing to run through Sam's mind at her confession was, don't think of naked people.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam Tyler, Tony and Sam Lowry What: Any forensics in this city...? Any at all...? ...Hello? When: 04 February 2010	(Even with the -- current climate, I'd rather not see an act of terrorism go un-investigated.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam and Tony What: Sam wants some bro time... When: 06 Feburary 2010	(Furor's would probably be best.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Tony What: ...so he and Tony shall bro! When: 06 February 2010	(Sam thought it might invoke a sort of camaraderie, sharing the same sort of drink.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Pansy Parkinson ("Fleur") What: A failed attempt at robbery. When: 10 February 2010	(He's only been in a minute or two when there's an almost ear-splitting CRACK from the other side of the curtain.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam, Percy, Sookie, Selene and Komui Lee What: Takin' care of several kinds of business. When: 11 February 2010	(I want to talk to you about Everett Young.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Rachel What: Random encounter in the hostel. When: 13 February 2010	(Sam doesn't think he'd go so far as to say everyone in Bete Noire is unstable. He certainly doesn't feel like it himself. Most of the time.)
NETWORK	Who: Adam and Sam What: Adam is resigning from the force. =( When: 14 February 2010	(I'm very sorry to hear that. You've been a credit to the force.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: Valentine's Day ♥ When: 14 February 2010	("It's as far away from Bete Noire as you can get without being sent back.")
NETWORK	Who: Sam, Rachel and Sam Tyler What: A PR exercise. When: 15 February 2010	(This city must establish a system of order based upon not only justice but the law. If we can prevent it, there isn't a reason to add to the number of citizens living in fear.)
NETWORK	Who: Selene and Sam What: Bit of a spat. When: 17 February 2010	(I told you I wouldn't stand in your way when people were getting hurt.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam, Benjamin, Sam Tyler and Tony What: Donating to the hostel, appointing an Interim Police Chief. When: 24 February 2010	(I'm considering candidates.)
LOG	Who: Sam, Ash and Dr. Claire Saunders What: The demon possession begins. When: 25-28 February 2010	(Except he isn't like everyone else. He's better.)
LOG	Who: Sam, Tony and some unfortunate NPCs. What: Tony catches demon!Sam in the act, then takes him back to his flat. When: 26 February 2010	(That's all this city does -- it destroys everything good, one way or another.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Sookie What: Demon!Sam's final act destroys his relationship with Sookie. When: 28 February 2010	(He feels her moving away -- he can't bear to have her leave him now. Grabbing hold of her, pulling her near, he spins her around and presses her back against the wall.)
NETWORK	Who: The Magistrate and Sam What: City business. When: 09 March 2010	(Very well, sir. It's not my department anyhow.)
NETWORK	Who: Sam and Inara What: Sam needs to talk to someone. When: 09 March 2010	(I'm wondering, has a client ever hired you... just to talk?)
NETWORK	Who: Sam Tyler and Sam What: Someone familiar to Tyler has stumbled into town. When: 13 March 2010	(You know this man?)
LOG	Who: Sam and Madame Mirage What: Sam discovers a strange loiterer in the Tower. When: 13 March 2010	(His eyes sweep over her body, quickly and involuntarily, but he's more repelled than attracted. Sam doesn't trust that kind of beauty.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Inara What: Tea with a Companion. When: 15 March 2010	("You can promise that all of this is confidential?")
NETWORK	Who: Gene Hunt and Sam What: Y hallo new shift leader. When: 22 March 2010	(Congratulations on taking up the position.)
