Oh boy. This is what he was worried about. Time to draft a copy of the interviews for the government. They need to know and he is keeping that starting relationship open. Will they answer whose department natural souls are? Just the title of the department and if they let more slip…he will be casually listening. Pay no attention to the law officer listening to you. Keep thinking just an Augmented. |
Most will shrug and say they don't know, that there's a lot of departments, and they frequently change names, merge with another, are split apart from another- basically, that it's hard to keep track. This is even true, though many are just as likely to use this as a redirect, or an excuse not to answer. Some will just refuse outright, whether they know or not. But it's possible to find someone who'll also shrug and give an answer: the modest sounding Department of Acquisition and Refinement. It used to just be Natural Resources, and dealt with things more akin to mineral rights. The last restructuring happened not that long ago, but they really don't know much more than that. It's not their business, how Natural Souls got there. |

And I assume they dismiss any talk of dangers from the space between worlds. What do they know about how natural souls were uh, caught. Do they stick to the Patho-gen stance that they are out to save their world. Or is it all as said above. |
Dangers...?! A provocative line of discussion, and they'll actually be interested to listen, but not really heed anything. Whether this persuades them in any direction is another story, nor is it particularly material, as they're now stuck in jail instead of working with colleagues who wish to explore other worlds. Do they know about how Natural Souls were obtained? No. That is not their department (their department isn't torture, either, but here we are). Natural Souls are natural phenomena... Probably came from wolves and stuff. That this may imply killing other creatures isn't concerning to them. Do they stick to the Patho-Gen stance that they're going to save their world? Their answer is more along the determined line of saving Karteria, wishing to save humanity. Many of these people are deeply concerned with the fate of humanity, but for some reason have it in their minds that Tamariah itself cannot be saved. Why, they're less sure about and have fewer answers. If reminded that conditions are measurably improving from Augmented intervention, well... Some of them may cede and say "I hope that continues to be true. Maybe then we wouldn't need to leave." |

I assume they don’t care to remember Aigmented we’re just human or so themselves before they altered them. But. If questioned about these rifts, what do they say? And if an Augmented clearly has knowledge of beyond their own world…how do the criminals react? |
NAHHHH they do not care. People from other worlds are basically not important. The rifts, they know sorry little about. They just talk about it like weird loons. But people who know about worlds beyond their own... They seem interested, though it's abundantly clear that talking shop about worlds beyond even Tamariah is beyond them, much less talking about the state of the neighboring island Ekklisis. They don't seem particularly worldly, much less other-worldly. But they're receptive to having conversations about other people's worlds, and may take one of two angles: either 1) how weak are the people there? or 2) how... nice is it, there? What troubles do the people face? Which topic they choose depends on how threatened they feel. If they feel threatened, they'll pick the former; if they're being talked to calmly, they may pick the latter, hoping to hear about a nicer world. |

Popping onto this question for the other way around version - would it be reasonable to assume some of the punished (particularly the ones who were overseeing experiments or transporting supplies) remember Augmented experimentees (particularly ones who got up to notable disruption and chaos...not naming any names...)? Relatedly, as Momo did try to sneakily filter out spores to a significant chunk of the facility as an opportunistic thing as he encountered people, with the mention on the Fungi soul page that it's very difficult to completely get rid of their spores once they've grown onto someone, might he be able to still pick up some bloodstream spores on certain people as a way of recognising if he encountered them directly? | Some of them do! About 1/3~1/2 of them remember some Augmented experimentees. ...And thus, a few of them may be afflicted by the spores. Clever, Momo. Clever. We'll go with about four of them having been exposed, though there is very little these sorry inmates can do, even while being supervised in their community service duties. Still, they will be Spore'd up. |

Thank you for a chill event this month :> Since Viktor and Jayce have helped with the teleporters in the past, what would Patho-Gen say if they offered to look at them again when the problems start? |
They'd be more than happy to have them take a look! As for what they'll find... Something is interrupting their function, but it's nothing like their internal mechanisms, their maintenance, or their power supply. While Viktor may not be so able to notice anything weird, Jayce, as a Golem-type... if he's harnessed any of his powers over the earth, each hiccup in their functionality aligns with a strange distortion of ambient magnetic fields. Whatever's going on, it's on a much, much bigger scale than will be sorted in a month's time, but some other soul types may be able to pursue more information... |

For the romantic hallucinations in Kelesis, are these necessarily current loves, or might they take the form of former loves as well? For the drama. | Interesting question! These can absolutely be former loves. Especially if some flame yet flickers in the individual hallucinating. Ultimately, we love drama. Do it. |

the kelesis hallucination of a loved one: how long does it last? Is it a matter of being simply shaken out of it and told it's not who they think it is, or does the delusion extend past all reason into something more prolonged? | It can last as long as you'd prefer it to, but it will surely end if the character somehow leaves the city of Kelesis. It can end if the character hits their head on something too hard, or if they're slapped; it could end if they trip and fall, or if their senses are engaged with something that pulls them out of the hallucination, like a familiar or provocative smell, touch, sound, or taste. Their sight, however, is utterly useless. Thus, being told that the person they're seeing may not be enough to snap a person out of it. It could work, but it depends on how deeply the individual is lost in the sauce. It can be an intoxicating, dreamlike hallucination; it can be something more shallow too, if the player prefers. Short answer: it can last as long as is preferred within Kelesis (though it probably wouldn't last longer than a day); it can be as easy or as difficult as preferred to shake out of, but the best results will be from engaging any sense other than sight. |

For the ex-Patho-Gen people, would plant pheromones and giving them an alcoholic hot drink like Irish coffee or spiked hot chocolate (ostensibly to help them warm up while working outside) lower their inhibitions enough to let a few things slip that they might not have intended to? | Ooh, good question! It very well could. Most of them don't have anything to offer beyond the scope of their clerical duties, or the fact that they weren't all that important in the grand scheme of things. Some may even state their regret for their involvement, but not for any, ah... moral reason. It's purely because they feel so small, thrown under the bus like this. So disposable. Most of them are grunt workers. Janitorial. Clerical. They were in charge of guarding a doorway, or making sure paperwork went unseen. They were in charge of cleaning supplies, or replacing scalpel blades. They admit things like their overall hatred of the upper class, or their disgust towards the lower class; they'll talk about how Patho-Gen will find a way to salvation. That's what all of this loyalty is all about. Salvation. ... For this firm belief in salvation, these imprisoned Patho-Gen members sure don't seem to know much about the plan behind attaining salvation, however. Something about unlocking the pathway to worlds beyond this one, this miserable place. Hardly worth saving. To try to fight its destruction is delusion. They fear the encroaching arcane radiation. These staff members spiral at this point, if drunk/drugged enough; they're sad, scared, powerless. Even though they're complicit in horrific crimes, at the end of the day they're rebelling against a world they're certain is going to kill them. They don't believe in the angle of trying to solve or understand Katalyth, and believe they need to give up on the world, and rebuild on another. |

Asking the obligatory: if any Augmented offered to play some music at the lower-and-middle-class party, would that be accepted? I assume they'd want the same sort of genres as mentioned, but Re:vale do have a couple of jazz/swing vibe songs. | Yes! They will heartily accept, even if it does stray from their usual preference. They're welcoming to anything the Augmented wish to bring to the table, performances definitely included. |

Also asking, but please disregard if this will be detailed on the post: for the tortured Augmented who have remembered some things, are any of these ex-PG employees recognizable? Or are they just randos (that are likely scapegoats)? | While they're small cogs in a greater machine... some of them may be recognizable. Staff members who ferried vials or syringes to and fro; people complicit in this overall endeavor. A few may even be those tasked with overseeing experiments. Others, however, are completely unrecognizable. Regardless of which staff member is asked, they will be forthright about what part they played, and admit to it. Whether they were present at the Holiday Destination, or acting remotely from Patho-Gen HQ in some capacity, they'll say that much.

obligatory q.............. for velvet claw quest #1, would they let someone with a criminal record who would definitely do nefarious things with such power (not naming names...) supervise these folk? | Heheh... Elijah... No. They would not. The families of these individuals would protest greatly, claiming that the lives of their imprisoned loved ones are directly threatened by such fiends. However, there is a workaround. Characters like Eli who have a criminal background, or who have a particularly bad reputation with Patho-Gen or the government, will be allowed to supervise with another Augmented One present! This was negotiated heavily, and even then, some members of the govt/Patho-Gen don't care for this outcome. This is to say, Elijah could supervise... or, co-supervise. He is 100% required to have a supervisor to his supervising. How that supervisor supervises Eli is another question entirely. |
