[Broadcast]

[A young man with dark, slicked-back hair gives the screen a polite smile.] Hey, so I'm guessing a lot of you have been here for a while, and I was hoping for some tips. Any favorite protein food recipes? [- said with some humor to it. He sighs.] I'd really like to get home as soon as possible, but I'm sure that's a common sentiment.

I was wondering if anyone here has heard of a PASIV device. That's P-A-S-I-V. If you don't instantly recognize the name, you most likely don't know what it is.

Oh, I'm Arthur, by the way. [He gives the camera a quick, flippant salute before turning off the video.]

[Action] (Red Fish)

[Arthur sits in the kitchen, picking at his food for a while. After a few minutes of that, he gives up, taking out his red die and rolling it around thoughtfully across his palm.] Feels real.

If you mix them together and it turns brown, I'd avoid it. [But maybe that's just a totally immature decision that has nothing to do with actual taste.

It's a dismissive joke though, delivered with an easy smile, before he leans a little closer to the camera and grows a little more serious.]

Yeah, that doesn't sound concerning at all. What's a PASIV device? It's not some WMD is it?

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

Great advice, thank you, [said with a touch of humor and a lot of sarcasm.

He smooths out the front of his suit.] I suppose there's no real problem with you knowing what it is. 'Portable Automated Somnacin IntraVenous Device'. It administers the drug Somnacin and allows the users to enter the subject's subconscious. And no, it's not a WMD.

[bigvessel]

Always glad to help. [He is a fan of the sarcasm game.

And the suit. Good choice. He does like a man that understands fashion. He's sporting his own at the moment too.]

Yeaaah. So it's like a brain roofie?

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

[His eyebrows rise, but his expression remains pretty neutral.]

Well... it was developed for the military, like a training program. It's used with the subject's consent.

[It's totally not used for crime shhh]

[bigvessel]

Yeah, cus consent and military go together so well. [Not like he has room to judge with the shit the CIA does.] So, are you military then?

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

[He smirks, amused, and answers,] No.

[He settles back in his chair.] You?

[bigvessel]

So, it's just a military project that you're interested in? [And there's a quirk in his brow that says he doesn't believe that in the least.]

Nope. [And that's not really a lie. CIA is a whole different ballgame.]
