- TheRaven "Well, if I am, it might have something to do with the fact that the last person we had here doing psych evaluations was utter scum."
- Roget "Mmm. Tell me about him."
- -->| Gara ([email protected]) has joined #farrecon
- TheRaven "He started hitting on a woman I was close to at the time, following which he was put into a coma by the current maintenance director."
- Roget "M'kay. So, uh, you think I might be like that?"
- Gara "I half want to get my hands on that chart."
- Positronium "Just half?"
- Gara "No, I want it. It would be useful to have."
- TheRaven "No, but it never hurts to be careful."
- Positronium "I can see that."
- =-= Wilt is now known as Mr_Wilt
- Gara "But, then, getting my hands on it would not be easy."
- Roget "Mmhmm. So, what do you think of the task force stationed here?"
- Positronium "No, and he seems to always be examining people, so he'd miss it if you did."
- TheRaven "Don't like it."
- Gara "My hope is that he wouldn't know it was me."
- Positronium "Well, you could take a quick picture."
- Positronium "Put it back where it was."
- Roget "Mmm. Why not?"
- Gara "That is what standard is. But, then, I lack a camera."
- |<-- Mr_Wilt has left irc.synirc.net (Ping timeout)
- TheRaven "For one thing, nobody's told me what they're doing. They have no experience dealing with the phenomena we handle here, so they're a tactical liability, and as far as I can see they're not doing anything we couldn't have handled internally."
- Positronium "Well, it seems like you're in luck. I happen to be a photographer."
- Gara "Are you? I am not sure you mentioned that."
- Roget "Mmhmm. What do you know about the former Director Lee?"
- Positronium "I am. Remember that room? The one with the gore?" He takes out his camera and places it on the table.
- Positronium "Years of practice."
- Gara "Oh, I totally forgot. Sorry. Yeah, we could try to sneak out later and do snap a picture of it." She whispers this. "Yeah, but there is no way we could get past the MTF. It's void." This, however, is outloud.
- Positronium He whispers "Well, I'm almost as sneaky as you are."
- Positronium "Are you sure that's for the best?"
- Gara "Yeah." More whispers.
- Gara "And, I could distract them."
- Positronium "Feminine wiles and such?" He grins.
- TheRaven "Nothing more than what I read on the files the task force had us retrieve from the site ruins. Don't believe I ever met him, even."
- Roget "Really? Nothing else?"
- Gara "Would you prefer I didn't? That would be perfectly understandable."
- Positronium "Well, I know what you /really/ think about them, and I doubt it would get very far."
- TheRaven "Why would I? The only reason I met any of the directors outside my department was for pre-operation briefings, which were mostly Dr. Corbette's area, and one unpleasant encounter with the late engineering director over an incident with the submersible."
- Roget "Mmhmm. One moment." He gestures to one of the MTF agents.
- Gara "I would keep them distracted long enough for us to figure it out."
- Gara "And only that long, of course."
- Roget The MTF agent brings him a tarnished file. Taggart, roll perception.
- TheRaven 6df+10 tagging What The Hell Was That
- Glacon TheRaven: tagging What The Hell Was That: 7 (6df+10=0, 0, -, 0, -, -)
- Roget It looks like the same file you found with Fish's ID card.
- -->| Proto_Lost ([email protected]) has joined #farrecon
- Positronium "Alright, then.
- Positronium "
- Positronium "Later tonight?"
- Gara "Yeah."
- Roget Glut takes it, and begins casually looking it over.
- Proto_Lost Simon's been wandering around the site so much, he's practically half popsicle. He decides to head to Rec to warm himself up.
- TheRaven "Are we done here?"
- Roget "No, no. I had a few questions for you about this file here."
- Roget "You recognize it?"
- TheRaven "Nope."
- Roget Taggart, roll bluff
- TheRaven 6df+4 tagging I Know What I'm Doing
- Glacon TheRaven: tagging I Know What I'm Doing: 4 (6df+4=+, +, +, -, -, -)
- Roget 6df+7 Can't lie to me
- Glacon Roget: Can't lie to me: 9 (6df+7=0, 0, +, 0, 0, +)
- Roget Glut arches an eyebrow. "I think you might want to tell the truth, uh, agent.
- TheRaven "I might have seen it once, during a retrieval operation. I don't see how that's any of your concern."
- Roget "Well, the information here is well above your clearance level... among other things."
- TheRaven "And I'm thinking it's above yours too, and this wouldn't be an issue if you'd use your own people to find your papers instead of sending us in."
- Roget "Well, this particular file was in a place you weren't supposed to, uh, be."
- TheRaven "Take that up with your clearly incompetent security."
- Roget "You think this is some kind of snark off? Because, uh, it is a lot more serious then you seem to , uh, realize."
- TheRaven Is there anyone other than Glut and Taggart in the room?
- Roget There isn't. But there is only a tent flap between him and about a dozen MTF agents
- TheRaven "What's more serious than /you/ seem to realize is that the two idiots guarding your door let me walk in here with a loaded 10mm automatic and enough ammo to cause some significant problems. So yes, it is an issue on your end, with utterly moronic goons guarding your valuable assets."
- Roget "Shut up. You think that dancing around the issue by blaming my security is going to achieve something?"
- TheRaven "You think letting idiots who clearly want me to shoot you in charge of your personal protection is a good idea?"
- Roget "Again, not the issue." he sounds impatient. "What did you read in this file?"
- TheRaven "Very little of any significance. And I'm betting you don't know /where/ I found it, or what was with it, do you?"
- Roget "You found it in the back of the brig, after one of my former agents allowed you access. You took it, read it, maybe showed your boyfriends, then hid it in a tree."
- Roget He puts emphasis on /former/
- TheRaven "Take a wild guess what I found it next to."
- Roget "I frankly do not care about what you found it with, because this was the only classified information there."
- =-= Scantron is now known as Scandinner
- TheRaven "But what I found with it will be a great deal of help in your CI witch hunt."
- TheRaven "I wasn't poking around back there looking for classified information."
- Roget "Tell me then."
- TheRaven "Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Have you heard of an agent Fish? Transferred in shortly after the destruction of the site."
- Roget "Ah Fish. We have investigated him, and dismissed those claims."
- TheRaven "Well, you might want to look into them again."
- Roget "I'll get right on that."
- TheRaven "We were there looking for an ID card he claims to have dropped when wandering around the site, which I don't need to point out is yet another failure of your task force."
- Roget "Agent Fish had his reasons for being at the brig. We have dismissed claims against him."
- TheRaven "Then explain why I found his missing ID on the ground right next to the file you're so interested in."
- Roget "There is a good reason, that I am not going to tell you."
- TheRaven "Oh, I'm sure there is. Or at least, you've been told there is."
- Roget He smiles. "I was there personally overseeing it. I know for very certain that he isn't what you seem to think he is."
- TheRaven "Well, I'm no spy, but do you know what finding a classified file that conveniently placed says to me?"

- -->| Faminepulse ([email protected]) has joined #farrecon
- Roget "Enlighten me."
- TheRaven "That screams setup. You don't need to be looking at us. Your issue is internal."
- Roget He smiles. "You have no idea..."
- Roget "Anyways... you can go. For now."
- TheRaven "Oh yeah, one more thing. If I get another report of your task force agents harassing my people, we're gonna have a problem." He walks out.
- Roget Glut watches him go.
