[ In which the former Chief of OOPARTS - now the Chief of Sector Security and the Lead Investigator of Sector Security's Supernatural Intelligence Division - conducts some on-the-ground beat work, without trying to attract too much attention to himself.

What're you going to do, detective? Well, let's check in and see... ]

One 'Lord' of the Warp, mmm...

[ He's taking out a notebook and a pencil, ready to jot down whatever you say. ]

Alright. Give me what you can, Ms. Funako. Any information on this is helpful.

The Princess of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers is constructing a tower to this world, forged from every piece and scrap and corpse and dream and nightmare that she and her legions could get their hands on.

So that she can get revenge on the ones that cast her back to the Lost Astral City of Mu.

I tried to stay out of her way, but she was furious, you could taste her rage.

The Princess of the Sea of...

[ Hrms thoughtfully, tapping his chin with his pencil. ]

Ceta Zoth-Ommog. Right. I have some notes on them. Not a lot but. I do... know of whom you speak, and who angered her.

It would check out they're looking for revenge after they attempted to eat someone and got soundly cast back to the warp.

Yes.

And again, this is all speculation and my 'kind' has no affinity for one another, so I'm not a traitor or feel that way.

My guess. Hunch. Is we'll see more Trial Balloons.

I suppose I should investigate the gate that appeared where you emerged and make sure it gets sealed. It should be rather simple to do that. And I'll investigate the boardwalk, too, to make sure other holes haven't been left open.

[ ...There's a long beat. He sighs, folding his arms. ]

Ms. Funako. While I understand if this may come off as rude to remind you, your life here is still one of a 'trial run', so to speak. There are many who, if they knew of your past life, would have me send you back there. There are quite a few who know of your existence here, but are trusting me to 'do the right thing', should you cause havoc.

I have no reason to doubt anything you told me is, if not credible, at least a sound theory that merits further investigating on my part.

But, again, as a reminder, should I find that you've been... not entirely forthright with me in any regards, regarding either your involvement or what you know, that I will be forced to reconsider your time here.

I trust that's clear?

Oh of course, I'm quite well aware.

::Waves her hand.::

I'm sure I'll get in trouble some day for something.

Well, let's hope that the trouble you get in is extremely mild compared to what people assume creatures from the Warp do entail. I do not mind your presence here and I am...

Admittedly intrigued about what we've done to help... 'rehabilitate' you, to some degree, so that you don't think of us as merely flesh to steal and eat. You've acclimated to the environs quite well, I will say.

But. This is all very much a house of cards that can come crashing down at any moment, so I do trust you will be careful.

...

You're flesh to steal and eat, but. You're interesting.

I'm complying but.

I'm always going to want to eat, Mr. Haita.

::Her stomach growls, giving a sly smile.::

I understand. I think there might be... some possibility we can investigate a way to alleviate that hunger in ways that aren't quite so.

Destructive. But that will take some resources I can't commit to right now. But I would like to help you... find ways to 'eat' without... needing to cause additional problems.

...

Hrm.

I have been looking into that, but I'm not sure today is appropriate, it's a different subject.

::Her thighs rub together a bit idly.::

I... see. Well, I would not mind having that conversation at a. Later time. To establish what you might. Need.

[ Hrm. Coughs. ]

At... any rate. That was the extent of what I needed to ask you. This gives me plenty to go on. Do you need anything from me, Ms. Funako?

::Gently dances her fingers on your chest.::

Nothing. I can. Think of.

V...very well.

[ This is. Danger close. Very danger close. Oh no. ]

Then, I'll... be seeing you later, Ms. Funako. If you need anything, please... uhm. Do keep in touch.

[ He's going to. Carefully extricate himself from this, and head for the door. ]

Don't be a stranger.

::Waves.

Her friend is gone, as you return to the front room.::

[ ...Hrm. I'm gonna commit that girl's appearance to memory. Juuuust in case. Just in case. She got a note and she left, huh...? That could be nothing, but it could be anything.

But I think I should. Just make my way out. Before I lose what remains of my composure.

This was more dangerous than I expected it would be... ]
