Yeah, whoop-de-doo that's a surprise! The guy who's acting totally normal and was trying to SAVE his FREAKING BOSS and didn't even know anything about this Dakova thing IS TOTALLY CLEAN!
[... well he's huffing and puffing at a medic, trying to change out of a medical gown for his usual clothes.]
Maybe if there were some jerks left behind from the attack you could try checking THEM too... but boy did you get to luck out and make me draw the short stick! Dakova or Avakado or whatever, you're barking up the wrong tree if you think there's something wrong with me!
Well... actually... there technically is. Mr. Dotrice was able to provide us during the meetings with countless brainwave samples of Erria inhabitants... every single one of them suffering abnormalities like him, except ofrentimes much, much worse.
The only known case of someone being on Erria and yet not being affected... is you.
... Say what?

... Right then. Never thought being normal could be considered "weird" but there's a first time for everything so go figure. But while all the eggheads were looking me over, somebody tried to find a match for the face of the lady who'd been calling the shots out there. Turns out someone figured it out after she'd used that fancy teleporting trick of hers.
Icequeen McTeleporter's real name's supposedly "Lilian Cavanagh". Never heard of her, and I would've if boss man had done any business with her any time in the recent past. But she'd been a scientist, working for the ESUN for a while before they discovered "oh hey, she's taking money from us so she can do her own stuff with wormholes!" After that she just up and vanished... until tonight.
And I got to thinking...
World Materials laid claim to Erria first, sure. Made it their legal property, moved all their stuff there and then bam. Dakova screws with everyone's brains like the dick it is. But what if there were other people that went there first so they also knew about Dakova? Maybe even worship it like some sorta freaky god? And they tried to go after boss man because they wanted to keep him silent?
Well tough luck for all of them! We know, we can deal with Dakova however those ESUN people decide they should, and I'm going to get my boss back!

[The less said about the former wall rug of destiny telling the better.]
But we're going to need well... you know... a plan and to know where those guys are?
[Volya's going to carefully put the words out, seemingly just a little tense as if awaiting a rather irritable rebuttal to that suggestion.]

... 'yer right. And I guess we've got two things working towards us then.
First is that if the nutjobs want to do anything with Dakova, we'll have that quarantine. And even Little Miss Teleporter can't just up and show up and not get noticed.
But on my end, there's still something I gotta and only I can do.

Boss man has a transmitter, just in case something like this happens. It's something he and I developed secretly, so the clowns who nabbed him won't know. And I'm the only one who knows the frequencies it operates on too.
If it's broadcasting, we can still find 'em.

I was just a bouncer for a bar a half-block away, but figured something was fishy and stepped in. Long story short, I've been keeping creep away from him ever since.

You think the changes didn't happen because you don't really spend much time on the island? Because you didn't grow up there? That's how it sounds to me.

... But the important thing is if worst comes to worst, I can do something about Dakova. March right back to Erria, find it, and maybe even kill it if we're backed into a corner by whatever else it can do.
From:
no subject
[That's actually really clever. It wasn't exactly something Volya expected from his first impression of Roy. The more you know.]
Where's he hiding it though? I mean... if they've got a crazy person who can teleport around won't they have some way to find things like that?

They won't find it, and they had to keep boss man alive for some reason. I just gotta keep an ear out... and pray.

So maybe... when we get the green light we could all just swoop in and beat down Dakova before it can do anything to us!
From:

[But then a thought occurs to him.]
... But if they just wanted him silenced then yeah. Why would a bunch of Dakova flunkies not just kill him?

This whole thing is fishy. I don't like this. I didn't like this already when they blew up a bomb in the city.
