Carn:
"Well then Jester,"
"Jasper actually Detective. Dr. Jasper Briggs."
"Whatever, semtax,"
"Semantics, my good officer, Semtax is a form of plastic explosives."
"Well how about this, I'm going to let your okl buddy here do the talking for awhile now."
Arnold turns the seat Jasper is in, so he is now facing Carn in the Chair.
"Alister! So good to see you old chum! I would shake your hand, but they've sadly been put in a bind. Would you mind convincing the constabulary to loosen them?"
"I don't think so Jasper."
"Oh? Ohhhhhhh, I see. You've agreed to go on that expedition to investigate those ruffians I'm charged with aiding. Well, I assure you Alister. I never talked to those avians."
"I never said why I was here Jasper. And nobody said anything about avians."
Jasper is shocked. He never meant to let that slip. Alister somehow always put him at ease, and now that ease is causing him trouble.
"Quite right, well the men who arrested me said it was something about a mark on my arm. A tattoo that I am ashamed to admit, I do not remember acquiring. It suddenly appeared there one morning, after a night of debauchery I had!"
"Hogwash. We both know you never drink so much that you can't remember, and debauchery has never been your style."
"So then, you know. You want me to confess is it? Well fine. I confess to aiding, and advancing science. I confess to working with brilliant minds to further understand and improve the human body."
"And this group, the Birdmen," Carn's voice is slowly rising. Louder and louder, his cadence, tone, and volume, changing into what he almost exclusively reserves for combat orders in a storm. "THE SAME BIRDMEN, WHO ATTACKED ANVALA? THE BIRDMEN, WHO IN THAT ATTACK, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GUNTAR'S DEATH?!" The last four words are roared at a decibel that makes the two-way mirror shake briefly. Several seconds pass before Jasper responds, during that time nobody moved, nobody even breathed save for Jasper and Alister.
"Yes."
Carn stands, fists clenching over and over, grabbing for weapons not there, as he removed them before entering.
"And I know things about them. About their physiology, and methods. Those sound like things of infinite value do they not? I'm willing to make a deal. I give you the information, I get a reduced sentence."
Carn turns around.
"I'll give you a deal Briggs. You give me the information, and I'll kill you quickly."
He leaves, slamming the door shut behind him.
With a grin that would scare an infant, Jasper comments. "Well detective, I believe that will be all for now. You are dismissed."
"No, your dismissed. I'll be showing myself out." And with that inept comeback, Detective Arnold walks out, quietly shutting and locking the door behind him.
BdrLineAzn:
Finished, the door to the other side of the room opens and enters Carn and a sheepish Arnold.
Standing, Frey turns to the Detective, "Thank you for letting us be involve with this, we got what we need."
"Um yes, no problem. Is there anything you want to do with him?"
Looking through the mirror again to look at Jasper, Frey shivers as their eyes lock with each other, "Have him transported to the transport ship in the Militia Docks, make sure he is heavily guarded."
"Yes, sir." Arnold answers.
"You sure about this Commander, having a manic on board the mission?" Questions Enger.
"He is our only lead at the moment. I'll be at the transport to make accommodations for our special guest. Until then, Mr. Carn if you like to join me," Frey nods to those in the room as he exits.
Carn:
Carn follows Frey out, barely controlled anger marking his every feature.
"Your not serious. Him? On the ship? It's going to take everything for me not to just tie him to a rope, and lower him into a engine."
BdrLineAzn:
They arrive to the counter where they store any weapons on their person.
"All you feeling now is just anger. He may be directly linked to the creations on the attack on Anvala, but what is more rewarding; killing him now and get that quick satisfaction or be the person who got rid of them for good."
After signing back his pistol, Frey holsters it and turns to him, "Take a walk Mr. Carn and let some of the steam out. if you need me I'll be at the transport to make ready the brig."
Walking out of the building, he takes a mental note of how far the docks are and decides to call a cab. On the curb, Frey raises his cane into the air signaling for a ride. Soon a vehicle pulls over for him which he enters.
Koali:
Koali goes outside to show off the axe but sees that nobody's around.
"Why is it that I'm always the one who forgets to keep track of where everyone is?"
