Backdated to Right After the Fire/Right Before New Tick

[3wingedangel]

WHO: Sephiroth and anyone he talks to
WHERE: Around Temba
WHAT: Interviewing people and tracking footprints
WHEN: Right before New Tick
WARNINGS: Murder investigation

Sephiroth is furious. Another murder attempt, with four people in various states of injury. This is intolerable. He’d been over the building once the flames were out, but opted not to broadcast his findings, if any. Instead, he decides to continue his investigation by talking to everyone involved.

When he finds each person, he'll be asking them questions such as what they saw and if they noticed anything unusual (besides the obvious). He found many tracks in the snow, understandably, and he wonders if any might still be from the killers. Not that he really thinks following them will lead to said killers, but he will try anything. Maybe there will be a clue along the way.

For each victim he approaches, he starts off with, "Hello. How are you feeling?"

Sephiroth looked at it. "... I suppose I have to be grateful the Agrii haven't done that," he said. "The mind invasion is bad enough."

[tempredmental]

"Mind invasion?" Keith looked confused for a second. "Oh... the Data Points. Yeah. Honestly, these are the same thing, just attached to us instead of floating orbs in town. But we didn't exactly have a place to store Data Points for a while. I came into it a few years after the season I was part of started," Keith said. "At that point, they'd only recently picked up a central ship for the Fleet that had the ability to host things like that. Before that, it had just been a group of smaller ships."

[3wingedangel]

"Those, but also those occasional pulls that we have to go somewhere," Sephiroth said. "Those are very troubling. I was told it happens every now and then and not just when we first arrive."

He nodded to this information. "I see. I wonder where they picked it up."

[tempredmental]

"I honestly forgot," Keith said quietly. "I think I have some of my notes back on Temba, though. I might have it in there." Keith had tried to regain as much of what he'd gathered during his time in the Fleet as possible. But it was hard to explain what he was looking to get from the Agrii's request box.

"But, yeah... that compelling thing." Keith sighed. "I don't think the Agrii understand the point of an 'invitation' is that the invited party is allowed to decline."

He huffed.

"It would be a good idea to revisit everything you have since it might have a bearing on our current circumstances," Sephiroth said.

A dry smirk. "I wonder how hard it would be to teach them."

[tempredmental]

Keith nodded.

"I'll see what I can dig out." He had a lot, but not all his notebooks came with him when he got pulled from the Fleet. Hopefully, what he had was at least somewhat coherent and he could fill in the gaps.

"Heh... I don't know. It can't hurt to try, I guess."

[3wingedangel]

"Let me know what you find," Sephiroth said.

He nodded. "I believe I will, the first chance I get."

[tempredmental]

Keith nodded. "Yeah, sure."

He then snorted a tiny chuckle. "Good luck."

[3wingedangel]

"Heh. I'll take whatever luck I can get, if it's not bad," Sephiroth smirked.
