If this is what takes me out, it's been a long time coming. But it would still probably be worth starting at the unaffected hospital so I can see what healthy looks like for these people.

@Session

I like the way you’re thinking. However, I’m barring you from taking any form of linear transport onto the world- You’ll have to warp. And once you’re there, I’m only going to be able to provide you support and communicate with you remotely until the mystery is solved at minimum. For reasons I’m sure you understand.

I would hope everything. A suspicious force draining residents mentally and physically outside of one specific region. That sum it up?

@Session

To make a long matter short, it does. And we are unsure how safe it will be to actually send you down to have a look at anything.

I don't make a big show of my work. What the people do after the fact, well, that part's out of my hands.

@Session

*Nods, and continues walking all the way up to the window, looking down at the world*
How much of what I shared with Luke, was he able to share with you?

*Follows along*
Not as an institution. I may have visited a planet or two of yours in the past.

@Session

*We step out onto the bridge of a large IA capital ship with its viewport facing a lively world, with many parts of its surface clearly so heavily industrialized that its sprawling urban landscapes can be seen with the naked eye from our place in orbit. Several officers and other staff members are performing various duties around the bridge, with some coming and going intermittently*
Couple things you should know, then. This operation is not confidential, and while that means you’re not obligated at this time to keep any secrets, some aspects could change that in parts. Also, despite that, there aren’t any outside entities active at the moment. No media or anything like that to pester you. It’s not confidential, but it’s also not a spectacle. Would prefer to keep it that way too.

Thanks much; come back soon~

@Server

My thanks to you in kind.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Returns with a strong grip of my own*
I'll make every effort to exceed your expectations. Lead the way.

@Session

*Steps toward the nearest door of the building and opens it*
Worked with the IA before?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Slides the bag toward me*
Let me get you change before you go.

@Server

No time. The excess is a tip.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

That sounds like a plan.
*Holds out my hand*
Lynn. Lynn Gomen.

@Session

I hope that everything I’ve been lead to believe about you is true, Lynn.
*Clasps your hand and gives a very quick but firm shake*
I need it to be.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

It sounds like this is a quest of sorts itself. Can't say I'm not excited.

@Session

You could definitely call it that. Though we’re on a bit of a time crunch, so we can chat on the way.
*Reaches into my coat and drops a hefty pouch of metallic pieces of currency onto the bar*
We can exchange information on the way, if it’s all the same to you.

*Hours later, arrives at the tavern*
Alright! Who called for a doctor?

@Session

*Turns away from the bartender, setting down a glass of water*
I would believe I’m the one, unless you’re another quest taker.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Always. I'll go make that call.
*Stands up and exits through the main door, waving once without turning around*

@Nimda

*Sets the glass down without another word*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I have no doubt. They'd call their own work into question.

@Nimda

*Slides my own glass back toward myself, picks it up, and takes my first swig*
In that case, it’s been a pleasure.
