Research is important! After leaving the classroom where he, Piper and Rhett had had their meeting, but before calling the team together to come up with a plan, Aaron decided to swing by the archives to see what he could dig up. He can still be found there now, at a computer terminal; he went and grabbed Jim's file, and is now looking up anything he can find on him in Paradigm records! Mr. Amtrum said he hadn't been encountered in about five years, so he's starting with searching through mission reports in the Paradigm database, looking for the most recent reports describing encounters with Clavish.

What exactly happened in that sting? Did Clavish engage anybody directly?

The report doesn't say as there were no survivors. The whole team was killed.

The plan had been to infiltrate the event as staff and to assassinate the targets. The controller, who is the one writing the report isn't sure how the cover had been compromised. But there had been gunfire that lasted less than a minute, and then raido silence. No one emerged from the event.

Disturbing. You'd think people more competent would've been sent after him.

He scrolls through other reports he finds, starting from the latest ones and looking for any descriptions of Clavish in action. Particularly anything that might suggest hypnotic or outright mind-controlling abilities.

He doesn't find anything suggesting hypnotic or mind control. He sees plenty of reports detailing Jim in firefights. Sniping. Using explosives, either on himself or on hostages.

Has he ever displayed physical abilities beyond the capability of a well-trained unpowered human?

Nothing in the reports he has indicates that other than his power to come back to life and regenerate from even the worst of injuries.

How fast has he been known to regenerate from non-fatal injuries?

Do any specific injuries or causes of death seem to have kept him down the longest?

Being blown up into tiny bits has one of the longest respawn times it seems.

How'd that turn out? Immune? Did he grow a new head and start walking around?

The report just has him listed as a "confirmed kill".

So he can reattach his head somehow, but nobody'd seen it happen to write down what happens for sure. Hrm.

Had anybody ever attempted to recover his remains after a "confirmed kill"?

Yes. But he still has shown back up despite it.

What happened last time his body was in Paradigm custody?

Now that's interesting. This is a lot more metaphysically complex than "just" a super powerful healing factor, then.

It does make him question just how the hell they're supposed to get him back to Paradigm, though. How long did the body take to dissolve?

About an hour.

So an hour after death, his body broke apart into nothing and he just... popped up somewhere else, probably. Like nothing happened.

Curiouser and curiouser. He doesn't even know where to begin on getting the bastard to stay down, then. And for all they know, he'll have wherever they're supposed to ambush him wired to explode.

Had Paradigm ever captured him alive? Pre-dissolution, were there ever autopsies conducted on him?

Makes sense. He'd usually have backup to stop that happening, Aaron imagines.

Anything unusual on autopsy reports? Or has his body always vanished before there was a chance for one?
