[20:02] <Paradox> "Hello Miss Maxwell. How have you been?"
[20:03] <Alexis> "Okay until the Sleeper showed up, really."
[20:03] <Paradox> "Well, I have news for you. This isn't a Sleeper."
[20:04] <Alexis> "...not a Sleeper? Who are they, then? Why are they targetting us?"
[20:04] <Paradox> "Team Astra is back, Ranger."
[20:04] <Alexis> "After so long, too."
[20:04] <Alexis> "New leader? New MO?"
[20:04] <Paradox> "
[20:05] <Paradox> "Certainly a new MO. That ... mask, we've never seen anything like it."
[20:05] <Paradox> "We ... don't know any specifics yet. The Prisoner has not been cooperative under investigation."
[20:05] <Alexis> "Keeping silent?"
[20:06] <Paradox> "Not exactly 'silent'. Just ... incoherent. Feverish, deranged."
[20:07] <Alexis> "Side effect of the drugs, possibly. Did you identify the substances?"
[20:10] <Paradox> "They're similar to subtances used by Team Astra 15 years ago to modify and enhance Pokemon."
[20:11] <Alexis> "And now they're using it on -humans-? What the hell?"
[20:13] <Paradox> "Quite. I don't want to keep you much longer, Ranger, as your friends will grow suspicious but..."
[20:14] <Alexis> "Anything I need to know?"
[20:14] <Paradox> "I'd just like to say I hope you've been enjoying this last week. Things are going to get dicey from here on out. Keep your eyes open for anything concerning Team Astra, Vincere Tenebras, and The Sleepers, of course."
[20:15] <Paradox> "... And try and keep an eye on your manager. Her files are ... spotty. And I don't think she's telling us everything she knows."
[20:16] <Alexis> "Noted, but...she doesn't seem to be a threat so far."
[20:16] <Alexis> "She is quite secretive, though."
[20:17] <Paradox> "Alright. Get out of here, and get out of town."
[20:18] * Alexis nods. "I'll contact you if I hear anything."
[20:18] <Alexis> "Stay safe."
