Hi mods!
So, obviously, I wanted to run this by you guys first, but. In canon, Noé can see a person's memories when he feeds from them for the first time. How would that go if Vincent and/or Vanitas brought up the idea of using that against the Patho-Gen employees to learn more about the group? Obviously, I don't expect that to be easy, especially if they want to find someone who would be higher ranking, sort of thing that might have more access to info. But just curious.

Sorry for the slowness on this one... It slipped into Discord Purgatory, where none can view its existence (unless you view a hover-thing on desktop specifically, it seems, and we've been unfortunately Mobile this month).
We rolled a dice to see if Noé would even hit anyone with an inkling of knowledge of anything other than some clerical things, like "oooh I handle paperwork, so top-secret." Indeed, we rolled a favorable outcome. Noé can learn a thing.
Your random victim description of the day: a meek individual who looks deceptively younger than they actually are: Anh. While this individual has no major relevance to anything plot-wise, they are higher-ranking than one might assume by looking at them, disheveled and frazzled as they are. They are influential. Due to their education, they have been verily accepted into high places; their father's side has been involved in Karterian government.
The memory:
Anh gazes at the blurry letter. It's hard to read. Crumpled, with stains of grease and tears. The only phrases that can be read through blurry vision are: 1. "Everyone is gravely ill. Noram next door has already passed. The streets are littered with the dying, and your father's mind has regressed. He thinks I'm his nanny... Even I have the telltale signs of arcane radiation... I fear your dad's time is coming soon." 2. "We did not realize it was coming. The advice of your company was advice our people should have taken greater heed of. I am sorry you must pay this price. We love you, our dear Anh."
In the memory, Anh is frantic. They sit with a mug of tea in front of them, Patho-Gen's logo emblazoned on its surface. (They haven't been able to drink jasmine tea ever since that day.) They've read the letter, and know this: their parents are dying. To arcane radiation poisoning, no less, which has been defended against in Karteria already. What of Kelesis's barrier?! They should have one...! They have the technology, the plans, the help from Patho-Gen... The individual shakily grasps their Syntrofos, speed-dialing a superior. They shout: "What is happening in Kelesis?! What is really happening there?! M-My mom, she's--"
On the other end of the phone, their superior cuts in. "I'm sorry. They didn't take our deal seriously enough... so we withdrew our presence. But rest assured, Anh: we will return to our work in Kelesis someday." Rage wells within Anh. They cannot speak; they tremble silently as the call winds to an end.
