[M - E03] Interrogation, finally

Recommended Posts

Location: E03 (Ertauq)

Tags: Spying

After scouting for the secret Octan base on Jurin II, Scorpio made a rendezvous with the MANTIS fleet in the neighboring planet's sector, Ertauq. He was finally going to close the chapter on that mysterious prisoner from months before.

****************

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg It's about time Starstriker. Come on, let's go. We'll use the secure interrogation room. Since she managed to completely disarm one of our own agents, we have classified her as dangerous.

24227707302_0d50984703_s.jpg Dangerous? I thought it turned out that the operative she took down was actually a Kawashita spy, something none of our own agents had discovered!

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg That is immaterial, Starstriker. She is a threat and we must treat her accordingly. If I recall, your report stated that you thought she seemed familiar to you.

24227707302_0d50984703_s.jpg She did seem familiar, but in a very distant way. I am not sure I have ever actually seen her before. I have tried since then to figure out where I might know her from, but I don't know.

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg Well, have you thought that maybe you are familiar to her as well? Perhaps she has a grudge against you, and only wanted you here to try and find a way to kill you! As happy as that would make me, we can't have that kind of situation on our hands. Ah, here we are.

****************

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg Prisoner No. 108457, in exchange for your cooperation in this interrogation, we have complied with your request and brought your original captor, S. Starstriker, to be present here today.

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg Finally. Let's get on with your stupid interrogation.

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg Urm, uh, right then. We will begin. What was your position at Octan?

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg I never worked for Octan. I was on a long-term assignment from Kawashita to infiltrate Octan.

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg Kawashita? So that's how you recognized and apprehended the spy in our midst. What was the nature of your mission there at Octan?

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg My job was to go undercover and try and learn the secrets of Octan's high security coffee machine production.

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg I broke into the Octan facility on Ertauq...

23940256704_6bfbf36e61_c.jpg

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg ...swiped a key card...

24200654659_39fa73ffc8_c.jpg

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg ...stole an operative's identity...

24486115541_1fc0370567_c.jpg

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg ...and attempted to get myself promoted to upper-level permissions.

24486109891_352cca5c29_c.jpg

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg However, I wasn't able to gain sufficient clearance for the coffee machine project, so Kawashita assigned me to infiltrate the missile defense and WMD research programs instead.

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg ...

24227707302_0d50984703_s.jpg ...

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg What?

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg Uh nothing. We'll follow up on the specifics of your mission later. The Kawashita spy you exposed here at MANTIS? I assume you had to stop her before she killed you, Kawashita didn't want you divulging any secrets?

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg Yeah, Agent Sega was afraid I was going to spill my guts. Glory and honor and all that nonsense.

She and I had trained under Agent Raven. Sega always bought into that kind of crap more than I did. For her, Kawashita was a way of life.

24201488979_256f0862c1_s.jpg And you?

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg For me it was a paycheck. I have seen enough dishonor that it's hard for me to believe in any of it any more. Your boy Scorpio could probably tell you more about that, though.

24227707302_0d50984703_s.jpg Huh?

24543076646_f0f909e077_s.jpg You still can't tell who I am? Figures. You always were dumb like that. You must have got that from dad, he was a moron, too.

24227707302_0d50984703_s.jpg What the..? Arsenica?

****************

Arsenica is a character I had been meaning to properly introduce since way back before I even officially joined AG, but for one reason or another it just never happened until now.

Sorry for the lack of balance between story and build this week--lots to read, less to see. Sometimes that's just how it goes. :sceptic:

Arsenica never leaves anything to chance; she is a meticulous planner, and is stubborn enough and determined enough to see that everything goes according to that plan. She is the crew's navigator, and is also tough as nails

Sure sounds like Raven trained her :sweet:

Raven isn't a big fan of honor and stuff either but she is very hard on loyalty. To bad Koro isn't on active duty :devil:
