JB Lass: "Cobie, we've already had Security Officers examining this all morning!"
Cobalt: "Lolita, shhh..." <fills glass> "Its much easier to think when you've got a pint in your hand. After all, I was trained by Matlock, the best detective in the last 1,000 years!"
Now...
<watching secret monitors at SHAKES>
...nothing on what happened to Vee, though Lardy's report suggests he wasn't bleeding. We see Roy enter. Roy has helped Legion World in recent years, but I have a long memory. I remember in the Dark STU Saga when he murdered Giant Squid right in front of us. Someone once asked me who Roy was and I gave the best answer I could. I've never had the heart to tell Quis, but I'm not sure if I can ever forgive Roy for what he did. We can never rule out that Roy has once more taken to the path of evil.
<watching>
Who is this? Look Lolita, you almost miss him. Can you adjust the volume? ... ... ...who is Rex Veridian? Something tells me I'll know soon enough.
<pauses so he's alone for a second>
(And why does he remind me of...Sarya?) <look of pain on his face>

Need to be more careful! I can't afford to get caught up in whatever has these locals all excited.
Rex cautiously moves on down the alley and disappears from view
You'd think this was the Galaxy Awards presentation there are so many people coming and going! Well, at least I'm on the trail now. Let's see where it leads.
And Legion World is quiet. Too quiet. But now I wait.
Because my spiritual powers sense something coming...and I can't help but feel it'll be in SHAKES...

Too many. But most don't fit right now...still...
<Cobalt thinks to himself>
...hm. Let me think more on it.
Beer?
<fills Lardy's glass>
We need to find Vee and the Inquisitor. But what the Inquisitor was saying...about a higher power chasing him. We can't rule that out.
But something is influencing my spiritual powers. Like an alarm, telling me there is danger coming. Its an odd feeling and only now am I getting more in tone with this instinct. Its worrying me.

<takes a small sip, discreetly spits it out>
Pal, I know to trust your instincts. And this thing with Vee is just the latest in a series of strange events: Gary Concord, Frio, Rockhopper Lass disappearing, my robot missing...
<Cobalt gives him a look>
Yeah, Des...I've done my homework. Lot of...time on my hands these days...
Anyway...there are some others unaccounted for, too: Seth Gaterra, Helena Handbasket, Clark Marlowe...maybe a few others. You think they're related to the Adelie thing or my robot?

Its possible. But I can't help that this is something different but with some indirect connection.
But the Concord thing still is something that needs to be addressed. Its Frio I'm worried about. And that Lonestar Ranger character hasn't been seen in awhile--and we know for certain that he's an opportunist. But none of them present the real danger I'm sensing.
I wish Eryk were here. His luck lord sometimes would steer use in the right direction.

Yeah, I haven't seen EDE or his luck lord since I got back a couple months ago. In fact we've barely spoken since I first returned from Hrykosia last year. Maybe...maybe he's let go of the idea that we're brothers. I..I don't know how I feel about that...
You think he's back at Greg Evigan Island? Should we...call him?
