She still had a little while before she was supposed to go back to Jack. She had things she needed to learn first. Sitting down at a computer, she typed up everything she had seen in as great detail as she could, including the appearances of the people he made deals with. Then, that done and those pages printing, she turned to the Internet and looked up the names he had given her, starting with Elizabeth Clarkson, using the birthday she saw on the gravestone.

Three years later, there's another, much sadder story as Elizabeth was caught by an explosion during one of the Empire's expansion efforts into Sweden.

Birth certificates for all three, marriage license, and death certificates. Then, she would look for pictures of his wife and child to print off and add to the file she was building.

Including the offered deal, the name that was given, and the deaths of his wife and kids. Hesitating for only a moment, she had one last thing to check. She looked up Kieran Clarkson, first looking for a picture. Gotta make sure it's actually the same guy. Then she would look to see if there were any important news articles about him, or anything he had accomplished in a life on the right side of the law. « Last Edit: Dec 14, 2015 21:28:51 GMT -6 by Evelyn Cravens » Back to Top   Jack Makaila Moderator Director of Terror [color=limegreen]I'm your daddy.[/color] [send pm] Joined: March 2011 Posts: 21,584 Getting the Details (JackGM) « Dec 14, 2015 21:33:42 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top The picture of Kieran is slightly different, in that he has slicked back, darker hair, but otherwise seems to be the same person. He owned his own fitness club in England before the tragedy that befell his family. Back to Top   Evelyn Cravens Mentor Intelligence The world forgetting by the world forgot.

Gathering that all together, she placed it in a file and logged out, leaving the library behind. She needed to stop at the cafeteria, ordering a small meal for herself and a slightly larger one for Jack. Balancing his tray atop the folder and having them put hers in a bag, it was easy to carry everything. Evie sighed softly, using her mad waitress skills to make it upstairs and to Jack's office without incident. Knock knock.

"I wasn't sure what you would like, so I told the staff who it was for." She moved over to sit on one of the comfortable chairs across his desk, setting her bagged lunch on the floor and looking down at her file. "Would you like to eat lunch before I show you what I found, Sir?" She was staring at that file with a sad sort of smile.

"Kieran was cooperative and allowed me access to his memories. He tried to convince me that he would uphold his end of the bargain through memories of him doing so. I'm not sure I believe them... Memories can be altered." She shrugged slightly, starting to finger through the pages. "He wants us to help him take over a country. In return, he says he will give us access to the Empire's 'front lines.' He seems adamant about that, about getting us a place to fight the Empire." « Last Edit: Dec 14, 2015 22:11:25 GMT -6 by Evelyn Cravens » Back to Top   Jack Makaila Moderator Director of Terror [color=limegreen]I'm your daddy.[/color] [send pm] Joined: March 2011 Posts: 21,584 Getting the Details (JackGM) « Dec 14, 2015 22:13:52 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top "That's... unusual."

She takes a moment to look at the pair, and a sadness touched her features. She ran her thumb affectionately over the picture. "Yes, Sir," she said finally, and lifted the picture for him to see.

Just to prove a point, she put the picture back into the file and found the copy of their marriage license, showing that to Jack as well. After only a few momemts, she replaced that and looked over the article of their death. "I found evidence that states they were both killed in an explosion, caused by the Empire.... but that's not all. I was in his mind, Jack. I saw through his eyes, staring at those graves.

Jack asks, leaning against one of the arms of his chair. "They're fortified, they're actively preparing for war with weaponry at least a decade ahead of us, and they're spoiling for a fight, which suggests that they've found the answer to deal with what caused the cease fire in the first place."

"That's a large part of my concern," she admitted, though her voice sounded distant, thoughtful. "If we bring the fight to them, they have an immediate advantage; it's their home stretch. Kieran said he'd help us get INTO THE Empire, but we don't know if he will help us AGAINST the Empire, or if he'll turn the moment we're inside. And then, we're boxed in, in enemy territory." She pressed a finger to her lips, balancing options and, at that point, just thinking aloud. "But if we wait for them to come to us, they'll... they'll have access to kill more of us, and civilians, too."
