Investigation Plan
Bus: I think that about covers the history class stuff.
Ravenna: Yeah. Sorry that I'm having a hard time concentrating.
Ravenna: I just can't stop thinking about having to go to Zetsfir's lab tomorrow.
Ravenna: It's not like I really have a choice.
Bus: I don't blame you or your dad for anything... but you know damn well I hate Zetsfir.
Bus: They killed my dad, after all.
Ravenna: He worked aboard the Morgan's Gate, right?
Bus: Yeah. He came across some info he wasn't supposed to.
Bus: I know because I was a nosy kid. Got into his files, found a bunch of shady stuff.
Bus: Higher-ups found out what he knew... next thing you know, he got pushed out of an airlock.
Ravenna: ...I remember worrying they were going to do that to my pop when he was assigned up there, too.
Bus: Same here. They tried to make it look like an accident but I knew better, Rave. It was no accident.
Bus: Y'know, if they're really using brains and other human parts for some... whatever... kinda project...
Bus: That might get an independent investigation going by the World Government to look into this migration business.
Ravenna: How would that even work...?
Bus: Yo, I got the cargo shuttle launch schedule, too. If we could find and take some evidence from a shuttle...
Ravenna: Bus, that's extremely dangerous, The shuttle docks are insanely well-guarded.
Bus: I can take out all of the surveillance equipment beforehand. All of the guards there are robotic, too.
Ravenna: They're robots but they have guns, Bus.
Bus: Yeah but they're slow. Their night vision systems also have this bad glitch...
Ravenna: Listen, Bus. Are you absolutely sure we can get past them?
Bus: No but there's a good chance. If we do things right, we could not only get the migration cancelled but have Zetsfir stopped!
Ravenna: My Pop could go back to his old university job then, too. Not to mention I wouldn't have to be part of a risky experiment.
Bus: And I could finally have those bastards held accountable for my Dad's murder, Rave.
Bus: The stakes are crazy high either way. What do you say...?
Ravenna: I'll sneak out early in the morning. Let's say... 6 am?
Ravenna: I'll pick you up. Meet me in the Saulsburg mall parking area?
Bus: Yeah. Gimme a call when you're on your way. I'll gather up all the data I can on the shuttle dock.
Ravenna: Great. We should...
Azurat: HAY GUYS! What's going on?
Bus: Oh! H.. hi, Professor Disphumis!
Ravenna: H..h..hey, P... Pop! What's cookin'?
Azurat: Nah, I'm not cooking anything this late. Just got up to re-fill my glass of water.
Azurat: Good evening, Marvin. How have you been? I trust that you're helping my daughter get good grades.
Bus: Yes, Professor. We just finished studying.
Azurat: Marvin, please just call me Azurat, okay? I consider you to be family, after all.
Azurat: Is everything okay? You both seem kind of nervous.
Ravenna: Oh, we were just talking about... uh... you know... those threatening e-mails.
Azurat: Oh... yeah. Don't worry about those, Ravenna. I've already spoken to the police about that.
Azurat: I understand that it's scary for both of you. Please try not to worry too much. Most of that stuff is just empty threats.
Azurat: The police do keep an eye on this house, your school, and the dojo.
Bus: Well, I should be getting home soon...
Ravenna: I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?
Bus: Right. Give me a call.
Azurat: Well... I'm going back to bed.
Azurat: Don't stay up too late, Ravenna. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow.
Ravenna: Yeah... big day tomorrow...
Ravenna: Yeah... big day tomorrow...
Azurat: Yeah... Try to get some sleep, kiddo.
