3:26:38 PM <SickFae> Wuxtree works in his office, sparing a moment to check his watch and schedule book. It appears that he has an appointment for one 'Jennifer Banks' coming up. In preparation, he pulls out any files he has access to on her and does a quick check over them.
3:28:17 PM <SickFae> Afterwards, he gets up, unlocks his door, and cracks it open just a bit.

3:29:49 PM <•Talonair> Anomalous agent, in Lambda-9. Artificially created human, tailored to be a 'perfect' detective. Described informally as a 'walking forensics lab', she's known to be a consummate professional, distant in attitude, and a strict adherence to protocol. This last fact seems to be enforced by her physiology; knowingly breaking, aiding in breaking or allowing the
3:29:49 PM <•Talonair> breaking of law causes harm to her body, ranging from light headaches and nosebleeds to full-blown neurotoxic shock
3:30:47 PM <SickFae> Ah, finally a professional in this madhouse, even if she has little choice in the matter. That's refreshing.
3:30:57 PM <•Talonair> At /exactly/ thirty seconds to the half-hour, the half-hour being the listed start time of the appointment, ther are three sharp raps on the door
3:32:05 PM <SickFae> From his desk: "Come in." And punctual, too.
3:32:20 PM → Smaugnolia, TheRaven and Prior joined
3:49:14 PM <SickFae> From his desk: "Come in." And punctual, too.
3:51:03 PM <•Talonair> The door opens, and she walks in crisply http://www.gsmd.ac.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/photos/Acting/Graduates/Hayley-Attwell.jpg She's /tall/, really tall, primarily due to her limbs being long out of proportion to her body, giving her a very slender profile. Dressed in a crease-free, well-tailored suit with a skirt and professional heels, her hair back in a
3:51:03 PM <•Talonair> pony tail, wearing minimal make-up, and carrying a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver at her side
3:51:52 PM <SickFae> (Want Wuxtree's description?)
3:52:06 PM <•Talonair> (Please!)
3:56:51 PM <SickFae> Jennifer is met by this man http://scp-foundation-origins.wikidot.com/local--files/character:reed-wuxtree/reed-wuxtree though rather better lit. He is wearing a charcoal grey suit and fedora, over a white shirt, with a black tie. Horn-rimmed glasses frame his face. There's a bottle of whiskey at the corner of his desk, though she'd note there's not much of a
3:56:51 PM <SickFae> scent of alcohol in the room. There's also a small dish of mints, if she'd like one. Depending on how closely she looks, she may see the slight bulge of a Walther secreted carefully away in his left suit pocket. "Good evening Agent Banks." He gestures to the seat. "Please, make yourself comfortable." Seems pleasant enough, if a bit stiff and professional.
3:59:51 PM <•Talonair> She nods, taking a careful seat as she meets his eyes. There's a discomforting quality about how she's studying you, Wuxtree. It's akin to being under a surgeon's scalpel, as if her gaze is slowly peeling away at the layers that make up a person, picking out truths and very personal details just by looking at you. "Thank you, Agent Wuxtree." There is no
3:59:52 PM <•Talonair> accent to her speech. No regional inflections, nothing

4:00:33 PM <SickFae> Strange, Jenny. You're met with a nearly identical look, though somewhat veiled.
4:01:33 PM <SickFae> "Do you know why I asked to arrange this meeting?"
4:02:14 PM <•Talonair> "I can make a number of informed inferences as to the purpose of this meeting."
4:04:03 PM <SickFae> "Which seems the most likely?"
4:04:14 PM → •DSJ (halfopped) joined
4:05:40 PM <•Talonair> "The most likely reason is that as a member of Internal Affairs you will be meeting and interviewing the entirety of Lambda-9 on a one-to-one basis due to the manner in which the operation in Istanbul was handled."
4:07:22 PM <SickFae> He nods. "The Istanbul operation is a small part of it, though it is only part of a larger audit of the task forces stationed at Site-77. Do you have any questions, comments or concerns before we begin?"
4:07:36 PM <•Talonair> "I do not."

4:08:56 PM <SickFae> "Very well." He pulls out some sheets of notepaper. "How would you describe your treatment as a foundation agent?"
4:09:54 PM <•Talonair> "I have no alternative to compare it to. However, given what I have seen of other personnel, I would describe it as 'well-treated'."
4:11:31 PM <SickFae> He nods. "So you do not feel that your status as an anomaly causes negatively affects due to the responses of other personnel?"
4:12:44 PM <•Talonair> "There have been some instances, caused in part by my manner of interaction."
4:12:49 PM <•Talonair> "However, on the whole no."
4:13:11 PM <SickFae> "Would you be willing to elaborate on any of said instances?"
4:13:14 PM ↔ Klurg nipped out
4:13:41 PM <•Talonair> "If you feel it is relevant?"
4:14:28 PM <SickFae> "I do."
4:15:14 PM <•Talonair> "Very well. Some personnel have referred to me with unflattering language, mostly regarding my manner in interactions."
4:15:54 PM <SickFae> He takes notes as she speaks.

4:18:18 PM <•Talonair> "I have been called 'creepy', 'unsettling', and 'weird' in the past, and some other intelligence officers have accused me of 'cheating', or having an unfair advantage."
4:19:08 PM <SickFae> "I see."
4:19:22 PM <SickFae> Everything she's said so far check out?
4:19:28 PM <•Talonair> Yep!
4:19:40 PM <SickFae> Great. That's always helpful.
4:19:42 PM <•Talonair> "They are in the minority, however."

4:20:54 PM <SickFae> He nods. "Regarding the Istanbul incident, do you feel that all actions taken for the mission, including the… unorthodox amount of secrecy exercised, were both necessary and in line with the goals of the foundation?"
4:22:47 PM <•Talonair> "I do not. The deployment of Psi-7 to the area was entirely unnecessary within the confines of the original mission, the security forces detailed were clearly not acting in the best interests of the Foundation to the point where I would be tempted to accuse them of treason or gross incompetence." Her tone remains entirely flat and level
4:23:26 PM <SickFae> He nods. "And what of the actions of Lambda-9 specifically?"
4:24:06 PM <•Talonair> "The actions of Lambda-9 were necessary, and justified under Foundation protocols."
4:26:01 PM <SickFae> "I expect that, if there is any, it has already been relayed to the Site director, but are there any details regarding the reasoning behind your task force's actions that were not included in the mission reports that you are able to share here?"
4:26:19 PM <•Talonair> "No."
4:27:05 PM <SickFae> He nods. "What are your general opinions about the Foundation, its goals, and its procedures?"
4:27:47 PM <•Talonair> "I believe the Foundation is justified in its goals, but its procedures will need addressing in the near future."

4:29:36 PM <SickFae> "Do you have any specific recommendations for procedure revisals?"
4:29:49 PM <•Talonair> There's… Something a little /too/ well-crafted about her, the more time you spend looking at her, Wuxtree. And the feeling of being under the scalpel hasn't abated
4:29:56 PM <•Talonair> "None at the moment."
4:30:34 PM <SickFae> Define 'too well crafted'
4:31:17 PM <•Talonair> Are you familiar with the uncanny valley?
4:31:28 PM <SickFae> I am.
4:31:38 PM <SickFae> So, doll-like then?
4:31:59 PM <•Talonair> Sort of. She's too symetrical, her movements are too precise
4:32:08 PM <•Talonair> Every blink is the exact same duration
4:32:17 PM <SickFae> That is unusual.
4:32:20 PM <•Talonair> There are no involuntary twitches or movements
4:32:38 PM <•Talonair> She's not even fiddling lightly, or adjusting her seated position
4:33:10 PM <SickFae> Hopefully such things won't completely interfere with his ability to check if she;s lying, but… he makes a note to compare her comments with the less composed members of her team later on.
4:33:43 PM <•Talonair> Every one of her movements is measured, deliberate and economical
4:34:11 PM <SickFae> "During your service here, have you ever been coerced into an action or actions that you objected to on an ethical or rational basis?"
4:35:10 PM <•Talonair> One may get the idea that the apparent messiness of her ponytail is a finely crafted illusion as well to belie the apparent perfection of everything else. "I have, but not without due reason."
4:37:47 PM <SickFae> "Would you care to elaborate on any such incidents?"
4:38:36 PM <•Talonair> "At times it has been necessary to kill or otherwise injure individuals."
4:38:58 PM <SickFae> He nods.
4:42:44 PM <SickFae> "Are there any other concerns you would like to raise before our meeting ends?"
4:42:52 PM <•Talonair> "No."
4:43:28 PM <SickFae> He scratches a last few lines before closing his notebook.
4:43:32 PM ↔ Klurg nipped out
4:43:51 PM <SickFae> He extends a handshake. "Thank you for meeting with me, Agent Banks."
4:44:46 PM <•Talonair> She nods, and takes it to shake. Not too firm, not too limp. Her skin is smooth
4:45:35 PM <SickFae> 4df+12 anything good he picked up over the course of the interview that was pretty clearly a lie, or that he can toss in his little stash of personnel profiles? (PERC)
4:45:35 PM <Glacon> SickFae: anything good he picked up over the course of the interview that was pretty clearly a lie, or that he can toss in his little stash of personnel profiles? (PERC): 13 (4df+12=-, +, +, 0)
4:47:23 PM <•Talonair> Absolutely no lies, as far as he can tell
4:47:33 PM <•Talonair> Her profile seems accurate already
4:49:29 PM <SickFae> Great.
4:49:43 PM <SickFae> She's welcome to a mint before she leaves, if she so wishes.
4:50:26 PM <•Talonair> She does not take one
4:52:54 PM <SickFae> His scalpel-eyes follow her on her way out.
