<Snipped quote by Session>

*You find the desk area empty, with no one present to meet you*

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

*Stops and looks at you momentarily, then takes Luke's folder from the inside of my coat*
Would it ever kill you to respond first?

@Armed Forces

No.
*Takes the folder without looking at it and tucks it away*

Hm—
*Wanders, looking for a staff area entrance*

@Session

*You find one with relative ease, but it seems devoid of activity as well. A few individuals do round the corner from a far hallway, coming from where signs indicate would be a cafeteria*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

No.
*Takes the folder without looking at it and tucks it away*

@Revolutionary

I trust you to get it done. You know the drill- The mission is yours to handle, and from this point forward, I know nothing.

Mmm...
*Follows the crowd and looks for obvious staff*

@Armed Forces

Of course.
*Turns and slowly steps toward the view port*
You're willing to take a questionable mission on to save these people?

@Session

*You find a substantial amount of the building's population collected here, with myself directing others as they hand out food and other goods from an opened metal crate with the IA's name plastered on all of its sides*

[Armed Forces]

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Of course.

@Revolutionary

I would.

[Revolutionary]

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I would.

@Armed Forces

What's their worth?

@Multifarious

*Approaches with a disarming smile*
Hey there, the name's Lynn. I was sent by the IA to investigate this planet's situation.

@Session

*Stops what I'm doing to look at you, then steps over and looks you up and down*
We wait all this time for some real help, and we get just one guy?
*Looks over each of your shoulders*
Who brought no equipment of any kind?

[Armed Forces]

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

What's their worth?

@Revolutionary

I would help regardless of their worth.

[Revolutionary]

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

@Armed Forces

*Turns my neck to look at you sideways without fully facing you*

@Multifarious

Let's not be so quick to judge!
*Claps my hands together*
I'm uniquely equipped to investigate this kind of development. But on the occasion that I do need some kind of equipment I don't have with me, I'm certain borrowing a scalpel or two won't be a problem.

@Session

... No, it wouldn't.
*Turns back toward the supplies and continues sorting through goods as I speak*
But you won't find the problem here.

@Revolutionary

I'm serious.

[Revolutionary]

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I'm serious.

@Armed Forces

We both know you have a good heart, General. But we both know good hearts don't justify full operations and resource investment into foreign aid while your own society is still in recovery.

@Multifarious

Excellent!
*Shoves my calloused hands back into my jacket pockets*
Which is precisely why I came to you. You see, I'd like to examine a few patients from this world to get a reading on control cases. At least one well and at least one sick with a different disease would be a great place to start.

@Session

Well, we have plenty of those, since we were never able to receive our shipment from the pools.
*Puts down a small box of fabrics and rests both my hands on the table*
How deep are you expecting to poke into people?

@Multifarious

My prodding is uncomfortable, but far from invasive. I try to avoid chopping people up when it becomes counterproductive to making them well.
