Yes Braedon.
I’m going down to that one café on drum hill. You wanna come?

Can’t. As soon as I send this email I’ll have to stick to my computer until the digital lab gets back to me on this card’s data.
What’s wrong with it?
Bunch of corrupted images and videos. Some audio as well.
Why is it so urgent?
Well…
Ahhhh, come on. Being stuck in a lab all day is gonna kill you eventually.
When you put it like that it makes me wanna get it over with.
Don’t talk like that man.
…
Alright now I’m forcing you to come with me. It’ll be fun.
”Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.”
That’s the spirit.
You haven’t watched that movie, have you?
No I have not.

So how’s your report going overall?
Crap. I’m interviewing that one guy. He has a straight story but it needs a lot of verification I can’t get.
I guess the EPA really is the bottom of the food chain out of all the government R&D agencies.
When was the last time you heard about something coming out of the Coast Guard R&D?
Hmm. True.

So what’s with that goofy-ass hat, and why are you wearing a scarf?
Scarf is from my wife. Hat makes me feel like the mad hatter.
Ah. Say no more.

So you recorded a disc for the Richards interview right?
Yeah. Ran out of space though.
Full 80 minutes?
Yeah. The full time it took for Richards to escape was over a week. We barely made it over two or so hours in one 80 minute interview.
Jesus.
Yeah. You gotta be really in depth though with these things.
But there might be an upside to getting his full story though, right?
Like...?
Richards hasn’t been interviewed about his full story yet. When they did the feature stories on X4 and CCBC they just got the same boilerplate response he prepared after getting asked the same questions by every single newspaper and magazine up and down each coast.
Getting his whole story, on audio too, would really help other agencies if they need it.
So you think this could get us up on reputation with other groups.
Exactly.

Sooo... We got about 13 minutes of walking to do. It’s 70 degrees out, during the gregorian month of September, in Massachusetts.
Feels nice.
You wanna talk about anything in specific?

Task as either Jacob or Braedon: Ask some questions, be it about Callum’s interview or anything else current.
>Questions that best fit the conversation or what the character would follow up with will be chosen first, and others might be discarded. Make sure to specify who’s asking what question.

2/30 minutes of break time left.
>Both Jacob and Braedon have limited time on their break. Asking questions will take up time.

Jacob: ask if there's any progress in the cleanup effort.
Braedon: ask if Richard got to the part where he put together his makeshift (I'm assuming) hazmat suit.

Braedon: ask him how many people went missing during the event, seems like plenty of people went poof during it.

Well, I don't know what info Braedon has, so I don't know what questions I'd ask him. I have plenty of questions about the event in general, and proooobably addressed to Jacob (unless they're both working on The Event, or have substantial knowledge thereof?), though some of the answers would probably be spoilery. Like...

What caused it?
Will it spread?
Has the mechanism of action been identified?
(...Can it be used for good?)
Was the culprit identified?
Can it be prevented or detected in the future?
Will there be subsequent ramifications? Plagues of mutant zombie frogs, poisoned water seeping into neighboring towns, etc.
Did anybody else escape?

>>1034580 - q1
Did you check in with the cleanup crew today?
Yep. Portland and the Scarborough area are almost clean. The crew commander said there was a small portion of the atlantic that they wanted to remove the fish from before opening it back up.
Well that’s good. Are they sure that the water isn’t still contaminated?

>>1034724 - q5
The chemical tests became available again, so they tested water from the US-Canadian border to New Jersey, all the way out to the edge of the EEZ. Nothing.
And they aren’t worried that ocean currents might have carried it deeper than the economic zone’s border?
Well if it did there would still be trace amounts in the water.
True.

>>1034724 - q1
They also were talking about recovering a bunch of documents from the initial release site of the material.
The NECC facility? That’s a death trap.
Well, they’re considering using some new tech to do that. EOD robots, kinda. They’re gonna try operating the robots using higher range wireless transceivers to go into Millbrook as a first test.
I know the state court is paying other agencies to get as much evidence as possible against the NECC, but if this is their demo run then that’s putting too much on an expensive metal box that might not even be recoverable.
I dunno, it might work out, hopefully.

>>1034580 - q2
So has Richards gotten to the part where he builds that crazy-ass hazard suit?
Wait, what? He did?
Yeah the dude made a hazmat suit out of a couple sheets and like 8 rolls of duct tape. That thing needs to be in a museum.
How that guy is still alive will forever be a puzzle to me.
A hundred miracles in one week.

>>1034724 - q7
Have you considered interviewing any of the other survivors? Callum is an obvious choice since he was the one who warned us of what’s going on, and the whistleblower from NECC made like the wind, but I think it’d be worthwhile to get other people to give their take on surviving there.
Yeah, I have a list of people. The other people who were at the radio station are good candidates as well. Still gonna be working on Richards though.

>>1034722
Did you get a copy of the new dead persons reports?
Yeah, unfortunately.
Have they added a list of missing persons, or are they still only calling the dead and living?
Well considering the cleanup teams haven’t been able to get much near Millbrook they’re not calling the people who used to live there living, missing, or dead, just “unconfirmed.”
That’s depressing.
Yeah.

Task as either Jacob or Braedon: Ask as many questions as you want.
>I might avoid/dance around spoiler-y questions or ones that don’t really fit in with the previous questions, but I will attempt to get at least one question from every suggestion an answer unless it’ll disrupt Callum’s storyline too much.

11/30 minutes of break time have elapsed.

Braedon: Ask how things are with Sarah

So how are things with Sarah going?
She’s doing fine. The kids, too.
I’d imagine completely relocating to California would really suck.
Yeah. I’ve been having calls with her occasionally. When work permits.
But you basically work from dawn to dusk every day. Even on the weekends.
And by ‘occasionally’, I mean once every two weeks.
Ah.

Soooo... Do you have any idea what you’re gonna be getting?
Nope.
For someone who so desperately wanted me to walk all the way down here...
I know, I know.
Funny thing is I don’t know either.
Yeah. They have those donuts back again though.
Ooooooh. The jelly ones?
Yep, raspberry jelly donuts.
Oooooohoohoo.

Task as either Jacob or Braedon: Continue to ask questions, and maybe decide orders for the coffee shop.
12/30 minutes of break time have elapsed.

Hmm, what's the public response yet? Any protests? Uhh, long term environmental impact...
Would it be spoilers to talk about what the hazardous material does, or what it is?

One of them can ask the other what they think about people saying it's the end of the world.

>>1035490
Have you been reading the news on those protests in Boston?
Yeah. Read a bunch of blogs and opinion articles talking about NECC and how they should be dissolved.
If we put up enough red tape they might find it less profitable to keep it open, but what’s stopping them from starting up under a different name?
Probably license issues and public reaction.
They have a reputation now for being sloppy, getting people hurt, and bringing the entirety of New England to a screeching halt. They can’t really shake that, even if they start a whole new company.
Hey wait, hold on.

Take your badge off.
Right.
And if you see Jen, don’t tell her anything new. Out means out, and she chose to leave. I gotta call someone real quick.
Alright.

Task as Jacob: Get lunch.
14/30 minutes of break time have elapsed.

Dang, only one minute to get food? Better get to that menu and order the usual. Might have to rush back.

Possibly look for whatever food they have under the heat lamps, rather than order something to be cooked new
