He calls me up, calls me on the phone

One of the local urchins is telling me he has information on the Zeitgeist. High likelihood that it's a trap, but I might as well try to spring it and see what I can learn. And perhaps I'll get lucky and it won't be. I'll keep everyone appraised.

But an allergy, that could kill you!

They're not idiot, Doujima. Obviously they'd do a swatch test, same as an interrogator with fast-penta would. If I come up with a rash, that means the drugs will be useless and they'll just switch to good old-fashioned physical interrogation because the point of interrogation isn't to kill your prisoner before they cough up any details!

You’re sure. Because I seem to remember that they’re a bunch of thieves and more, and I don’t trust the medical knowledge of this place farther than I could throw you, Vorrutyer.

Being a criminal doesn't make you an idiot! It just makes you a criminal! I only wish crime had a stupidifying effect!

It's not stupidity I'm worried about! It's lack of regard for human life, carelessness, and arrogance. I've seen some very intelligent people make stupid as hell mistakes because of those last two. Hell, I've done it way too many times for my own comfort.

Ah. Well. You have a point there.

I still want to tough this out.

I know. I’m not happy about it, but I know. Maybe I can get Konishi to stand by after you’re… done. He’s got healing.

I think there's a couple others with it too. But yes, that might be nice.

[permastubble]

I’ll contact him, then.

Thank you.
