03:50] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	Anyways, I continue to talk to that other ranger captain.
[03:51] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Anyways, I have 2 other things I wanted to talk to you about."
[03:51] 	<Happymancer>	He nods
[03:52] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Actually, just one for now."
[03:52] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I was wondering if I could talk to Nikolai."
[03:52] 	<Happymancer>	"What purpose do you have in that, because we've had enough problems with him already."
[03:53] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Oh? What'd he do this time?"
[03:53] 	*	Tristan_Vernon sighs.
[03:53] 	<Happymancer>	"He's had our pokemon guarding him nearly bust him out themselves."
[03:54] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Ugh. Lemme see if I can talk some sense into him."
[03:54] 	<Happymancer>	"What makes you think that's a good idea, you're the one who attacked him and brought him in."
[03:54] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"We go way back."
[03:58] 	<Happymancer>	"Well then try and smack some sense into him, we'll post guards so you don't try anything."
[03:59] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Alright. Though why would I try anything? I'm the one who brought him in? I'm more concerned about him trying something."
[03:59] 	<Happymancer>	"You just said you go way back, and I don't know what you want."
[04:00] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Fair enough."
[04:00] 	<Happymancer>	"Get in there."
[04:00] 	<Happymancer>	He motions at a tent set up
[04:00] 	*	Tristan_Vernon gets in there.
[04:02] 	<Happymancer>	You walk inside where there are several posts staked into the ground, both holding up the tent, and securing shackles to the prisoners
[04:02] 	<Happymancer>	Nikolai glares at you, "Where are they."
[04:03] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Sorry. We had to take them from you for now. I assure you they're fine."
[04:03] 	<Happymancer>	"No! You didn't! You thought you had to, you thought you had to do this."
[04:04] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Yes. I did think I had to do this."
[04:04] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Anyways, we need to talk."
[04:05] 	<Happymancer>	"Need, have to, you sure like forcing what you want onto things."
[04:05] 	<Happymancer>	He glares
[04:06] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"You make it sound like I had a choice. Sol was doing horrible things, and YOU were helping them."
[04:06] 	<Happymancer>	"I GAVE YOU A FUCKING CHOICE!"
[04:06] 	<Happymancer>	A ranger pokes his head in
[04:07] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"You call that a choice?"
[04:13] 	<Happymancer>	He just glares at you
[04:13] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"If you weren't going to stop being foolish, someone had to stop you. I wanted to make sure you weren't in a bodybag."
[04:13] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Sol was doing terrible, TERRIBLE things. I have proof. I don't care WHAT they're trying to accomplish. No ends can justify these means."
[04:13] 	<Happymancer>	"And now that I don't have access to the medication, what now, I end up in a body bag in jail?"
[04:14] 	<Happymancer>	"Congratulations Tristan, my hero."
[04:14] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I know someone who can help replicate it."
[04:15] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"We just need to reverse engineer it, any information on that would really help."
[04:16] 	<Happymancer>	he spits on the ground
[04:17] 	*	Tristan_Vernon sighs. "Nikolai..."
[04:21] 	<Happymancer>	"What do you fucking expect from me, I'm not betraying Sol."
[04:21] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Why are you protecting a bunch of murderers, rapists, and thieves?"
[04:22] 	<Happymancer>	"They're not murderers, rapists, and thieves!"
[04:22] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Arcturus was."
[04:23] 	<Happymancer>	"That's not true, he was just talked about, nobody likes what they don't understand!"
[04:23] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Really? Because I've been reading his PERSONAL logs."
[04:24] 	<Happymancer>	"Bullshit, you're just trying to make him look like a luna scum. You could say that about anyone!"
[04:25] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Nikolai. I have proof."
[04:25] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"In his own words."
[04:25] 	<Happymancer>	"Bullshit!"
[04:27] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(I already gave the Rangers a backup of my backup, BTW. Sans the Kal stuff.)
[04:27] 	<Happymancer>	Yeah
[04:27] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Well, if you promise not to break my laptop, Ill show you."
[04:27] 	<Happymancer>	(Haha, oh I promise)
[04:27] 	<Happymancer>	(/me breaks it over his knee, FUCK YOU TRISTAN)
[04:28] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(D:)
[04:28] 	<Happymancer>	"Fine, what the fuck do you want to try and prove then."
[04:28] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	<The first log Im going to show you, needs to remain secret. It's very personal information.>
[04:29] 	<Happymancer>	Showing him Kalipso sections?
[04:29] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	<And she has a right to privacy. Ill be deleting this after I show you it.>
[04:29] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(Yes.)
[04:29] 	<Happymancer>	He wrinkles his nose up, and pushes the laptop away after a bit, "There's, nothing to say you didn't just write that."
[04:30] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"When would I have had time?"
[04:30] 	<Happymancer>	"I don't- the."
[04:30] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"You know that's not my writing style."
[04:31] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"That's just but one of the atrocities he committed."
[04:31] 	<Happymancer>	"SO?
[04:31] 	<Happymancer>	"*
[04:31] 	<Happymancer>	"That's just him, and that was a long time ago, there's no reason-."
[04:31] 	<Happymancer>	He holds his hand to his mouth
[04:33] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"[Axowhateverhisfaceis's name here] personally put him in charge. That says a lot right there. He's not the only guilty one either."
[04:33] 	*	Tristan_Vernon shows him the log about the 16 year old.
[04:34] 	<Happymancer>	He pushes the laptop away, "No, whatever, I'm not reading this anymore."
[04:34] 	<Happymancer>	"No, I know who I worked with, I know who helped me, they saved me, they helped me, they gave me this power."
[04:35] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"There's one more log I want you to read. They were using Redbeard too."
[04:35] 	*	Tristan_Vernon shows him the redbeard logs.
[04:36] 	<Happymancer>	He refuses to look at this point
[04:36] 	<Happymancer>	"I said I'm not reading anymore, get out."
[04:37] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I'll be back later."
[04:37] 	*	Tristan_Vernon walks off.
[04:37] 	<Happymancer>	You hear him trying not to be sick after you walk out
[04:38] 	<Happymancer>	You definitely had an effect on him
[04:38] 	<Happymancer>	One way or another
[04:38] 	*	Tristan_Vernon sighs and takes a large puff from his cig.
[04:40] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Well, I know another poor sod who needs to see the truth."
[04:41] 	*	Tristan_Vernon goes off alone for a bit, and deletes the Kal log.
[04:41] 	<Happymancer>	Who?
[04:41] 	*	Tristan_Vernon whips out Redbeard's pokeball, and sighs.
[04:42] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Hey."
[04:42] 	<Happymancer>	It looks at you noncommitally
[04:42] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	actually, wait. I dont delete kal log yet.
[04:44] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I managed to obtain some Sol logs... I think you should read this. I think those bastards were using you. Just dont hurt my laptop..."
[04:44] 	<Happymancer>	He nods, slowly burning, 'I know' into the ground
[04:45] 	*	Tristan_Vernon shows him the logs about him.
[04:47] 	<Happymancer>	He nods as he reads it, handing it back to you
[04:51] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"There's something I must know."
[04:51] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Do you support Sol's actions, even now?"
[04:53] 	<Happymancer>	He looks at you, then burns into the ground slowly
[04:53] 	<Happymancer>	'The dead only support their past regrets'
[04:53] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(Huh?)
[04:54] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(Is that a yes?)
[04:54] 	<Happymancer>	Is it?
[04:54] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(Or am I totally misreading it? Roll int?)
[04:55] 	<Happymancer>	Ok :B
[04:55] 	<Happymancer>	He's saying
[04:56] 	<Happymancer>	The dead have no sway in the world of the living, they only remember what they have done, and only regret mistakes they made
[04:56] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	AH ok
[04:56] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Fair enough."
[04:59] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"While definately not at the moment... He really needs some time to think right now..."
[05:00] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Do you think you could talk to Nikolai?"
[05:01] 	<Happymancer>	He shakes his head no
[05:02] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Fair enough, but might I ask why?"
[05:03] 	<Happymancer>	'I have dug his grave deep enough already, without further interference.'
[05:03] 	*	Tristan_Vernon frowns, and pats him on the head comfortingly.
[05:06] 	<Happymancer>	He bats at your hand, his mask :I'ing at you
[05:07] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Alright. I need to go talk with some rangers. Thanks for your cooperation."
[05:08] 	*	Tristan_Vernon returns him, and goes back to the rangers.
[05:08] 	*	Tristan_Vernon goes back to that other captain he talked to.
[05:09] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Well, I talked to him."
[05:09] 	*	Tristan_Vernon sighs.
[05:09] 	<Happymancer>	The Captains are busy getting ready to head out, trying to take count of prisoners, wounded, and dead
[05:09] 	<Happymancer>	"And?"
[05:10] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"He's got a lot to think about now."
[05:10] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"But I think he's beggining to understand."
[05:11] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Anyways, when we transfer prisoners, I'd like to request he be moved to Prism."
[05:11] 	<Happymancer>	"Under what pretense?
[05:11] 	<Happymancer>	"*
[05:11] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I know someone who'd like to know he's alive."
[05:12] 	<Happymancer>	"Hrm, assuming you mean his father."
[05:12] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Yeah."
[05:12] 	<Happymancer>	"Even though he screamed at us to keep this a secret." He thumbs through some papers
[05:13] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Still? Eh, Ill guess I have to talk to him about that too... Forget my request for the time being."
[05:14] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"One VERY important thing though. He needs a medication to live, a side-effect of the experiments Sol did on him. I have some samples of it, which I'd like to get analyzed, and reverse engineered."
[05:16] 	<Happymancer>	"How quickly is he going to need this, and what experiments."
[05:16] 	<Happymancer>	He gives you your full attention at this point
[05:16] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(How often DOES he need the doses?)
[05:18] 	<Happymancer>	I don't think you ever read that
[05:18] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	(I dont think I did either. Is that information there?)
[05:18] 	<Happymancer>	no
[05:18] 	<Happymancer>	It would have been in the medical logs
[05:18] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Do I have those?)
[05:19] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	*(
[05:19] 	<Happymancer>	No
[05:19] 	<Happymancer>	They might have been in physical form
[05:19] 	<Happymancer>	Or in a different network
[05:20] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I admittedly don't know how often he needs them... But there's still a bit left inside the Sol base. I know a guy who has access to some heavy lab equipment, but I can't get to him too quickly, and there's another sample I need to send him as well."
[05:21] 	<Happymancer>	"Who is it, we'll see if we can spare any for him."
[05:21] 	<Happymancer>	"But we'll be taking care of the analysis."
[05:22] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"He wont be needing any from the Sol base. I have some of my own, which I aquired in another raid."
[05:23] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"And it's Red Labrat."
[05:24] 	<Happymancer>	"Hrm, well I'll make note not to appropriate any out to you then, because you've already taken some for yourself."
[05:25] 	<Happymancer>	"Anything else?"
[05:26] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I was wondering if there was a way I could send my contact some safely."
[05:27] 	<Happymancer>	"We can take care of it."
[05:27] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	Also, Mind read on this guy.
[05:30] 	<Happymancer>	<Hrmm, which raid did he get this out of, and why is he friends with a sol admin.>
[05:31] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Alright. who should I go see about this getting sent to him?"
[05:33] 	<Happymancer>	"Captain Pine COULD take care of it, but he's busy, so I will."
[05:34] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	MIND READ
[05:34] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"That he is."
[05:35] 	<Happymancer>	<Get the guy with a background check, test the chemicals to see what they actually are, then we'll see about getting them there.>
[05:37] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"By the way, I dont think we've properly introduced ourselves to one another..."
[05:37] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I'm Tristan Vernon. I guess you could say I work under Ranger Cross."
[05:38] 	<Happymancer>	"Alright, we'll get it taken care of Vernon."
[05:38] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	Mind read.
[05:38] 	<Happymancer>	<Alright, time to get to work.>
[05:38] 	<Happymancer>	What else do you want from him?
[05:38] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"And your name?"
[05:41] 	<Happymancer>	"Captain Powell."
[05:41] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Alright. Here's the samples, Captain Powell."
[05:41] 	*	Tristan_Vernon gives him ONE dose of the medication in a vial.
[05:41] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"This is the medication I want sent off."
[05:42] 	*	Tristan_Vernon hands him the mystery bottle of 'sugar water'.
[05:42] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I half expect this is just sugar water, but one of my comrades found it, and I want to know what the bloody hell it is. It was found in Sol hands."
[05:45] 	<Happymancer>	"Alright."
[05:45] 	<Happymancer>	He nods and goes about his business
[05:45] 	<Happymancer>	 /session?
[05:45] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	mind read
[05:45] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	and yes. I've done all I needed to do I think.
[05:45] 	<Happymancer>	ffff seriously he's not thinking anything bad
[05:45] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	actually one last thing.
[05:46] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	Need to actually CALL Red Labrat.
[05:47] 	<Happymancer>	Tomorrow?
[05:48] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	How late is it in-game?
[05:48] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	Or IRL tomorrow?
[05:48] 	<Happymancer>	irl
[05:48] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	Actually Im probably busy tomorrow. The call will only take a few minutes I think.
[05:49] 	<Happymancer>	ok
[05:49] 	*	Tristan_Vernon calls up red labrat real quick.
[05:49] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Hey."
[05:49] 	<Happymancer>	"Yessss?"
[05:50] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Im having the rangers send 2 samples to you. One I just want analyzed, and the other, I'd really like reverse engineered. Lives are at stake for the latter. It's a medication Some sol members need as a side effect of experimentation."
[05:50] 	<Happymancer>	"Ahh, jeez, alright."
[05:50] 	<Happymancer>	"Is Eliza doing alright?"
[05:51] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"As far as I know, yes."
[05:51] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Should I have her call you next time I see her?"
[05:51] 	<Happymancer>	"Yes please."
[05:53] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"Alrighty. Will do, and thanks for doing this."
[05:53] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"I owe ya one."
[05:53] 	<Happymancer>	"No problem, look after yourself."
[05:54] 	<Tristan_Vernon>	"You too, man."
