Classification Seven: BBN Episode 12 - "The Unscratched"

The Interview Nobody Expected

This week on the Burve Broadcast Network, our correspondent Felicity Westfield ventures into the underground (quite literally) world of feline organized crime. Her subject? Mr. Wiskers, the unassuming neighborhood cat who turns out to be Boss Kryxar the Unscratched—a criminal mastermind whose operations span forty-seven star systems.

“Look, Felicity,” he tells her in classic mob boss fashion, “when most people hear ‘cat crime boss,’ they think, what, maybe some fish theft? A little catnip distribution on da side? Please. Dat’s street-level stuff, see?”

What follows is perhaps our most surreal interview yet: a hard-hitting investigative conversation about interdimensional smuggling operations, reality-altering cheese, media industry rivalries, and why proper paperwork is the secret to successful organized crime.


What You’ll Discover

In this Classification Seven episode, Mr. Wiskers pulls back the curtain on:

The Empire: How a cat-based organization runs sophisticated logistics networks across nearly fifty star systems, moving everything from controlled salt shipments to classified information—all with impeccable paperwork that makes GMF bureaucrats weep with appreciation.

The Perseon V Situation: The absurd story of how salt became classified as a “Potentially Reality-Altering Substance” after a philosophical mouse had an existential crisis while eating magical cheese. Yes, you read that correctly.

Media Mogul Ambitions: Mr. Wiskers’ shocking revelation that he owns Midnight Sun Productions through seventeen shell companies, operating in direct competition with Lady Kitsune’s Stellar Reality Networks. His philosophy on entertainment? “Ya can’t appreciate explosions unless ya understand what’s being exploded and why it matters, see?”

The Aria Connection: Why he’s taken the unusual step of mentoring Aria Evergreen, and what he sees in the first human who can actually understand cat speech. Spoiler: it involves strategic investments and long-term positioning for Earth’s GMF integration.

The Delivery: Mid-interview, Mr. Wiskers produces Vaeloria’s long-promised newspaper clipping hat—which he “intercepted” from official GMF delivery channels as a professional courtesy. This moment alone is worth the listen, as it demonstrates the staggering reach of his logistics network while thoroughly mortifying our correspondent.


A Criminal With Principles?

What makes this episode particularly fascinating is Mr. Wiskers’ code of ethics. Despite running criminal operations across multiple galaxies, he maintains strict rules: “Drugs dat harm people? Don’t touch ‘em. Weapons causing unnecessary sufferin’? Not my business. Operations targeting innocents? Dat’s where I draw da line, see?”

He treats his crew fairly, pays proper wages (with benefits!), and genuinely seems to view his operations as filling gaps left by overzealous bureaucracy. When Felicity challenges him on the ethics of criminal enterprise, his response is both pragmatic and surprisingly thoughtful.

As he puts it: “Sometimes da guy runnin’ da criminal enterprise is tryin’ to help people, and sometimes da bureaucrat is makin’ things worse, nebulisce?”


The Blooper Reel You Can’t Miss

Just when you think the interview can’t get more chaotic, the blooper segment delivers:

  • Vaeloria’s newspaper clipping hat includes mood-sensing technology that broadcasts Felicity’s emotional state through color changes (spoiler: the color of anger is apparently chartreuse)

  • The hat plays Felicity’s own interview quotes in seventeen languages, including three that don’t exist yet

  • Vinnie “Two-Claws” Pawlioni gets spectacularly tangled in broadcast cables while trying to get a better view

  • Mr. Wiskers attempts a rescue and ends up equally entangled, maintaining his dignity while literally wrapped in equipment: “Dis is not representin’ da professional image of our organization, nebulisce?!”

  • Lady Kitsune Starweaver reveals she’s been monitoring the entire broadcast and provides her characteristically amused commentary on “creative interpretations” of GMF regulations

The moment when Oliver asks if everyone in the GMF just works around regulations, and Lady Kitsune explains that seventeen thousand years of bureaucracy requires creative interpretation, is worth the price of admission alone.


Behind the Frequency

This episode pushed our narrative frequency calibration to its limits. Connecting to a location that technically shouldn’t exist (a sophisticated interdimensional operation masquerading as a simple Guild basement) created fascinating interference patterns. Oliver noted that the dimensional signatures suggested “considerably more sophisticated operations than one would typically associate with cat furniture.”

Felicity’s professionalism throughout deserves special recognition. Conducting an interview while two large cats flank the doorway “for security purposes,” remaining composed when mid-interview packages arrive through unauthorized portals, and maintaining journalistic integrity while being gifted stolen GMF property—all while knowing the subject could have her “handled” by associates named things like “Vinnie Two-Claws”—demonstrates remarkable dedication to her craft.

The inclusion of Lady Kitsune’s oversight in the blooper segment wasn’t planned but adds a crucial layer to understanding how the GMF actually operates: with far more tolerance for creative rule interpretation than official documentation would suggest.

What’s Next?

The connections we’re making continue to surprise us. Mr. Wiskers casually mentioned having “associates in very high places,” and after this interview, we’re starting to understand the scope of Earth’s underground magical economy.

Who else operates in the shadows of the newly magical world? What other sophisticated networks have we yet to discover? And will Felicity ever actually wear that hat on broadcast?
