Since PurpleMetro is taking a one-week break I might as well make a massive dramatic update myself with his permission. Take a seat.
"Please... go on. I love history."
: Good man. Listen up - I was once the chief of a peaceful village, named Vayejeg. A rather small village, yet almost everyone but Reeves and a few others is in this organization. One day, I was watching the outskirts, when a horde of robots - Stryker's robots, y'see - came in and started taking the entire place down, offing anyone disagreeing. I have a photo of the entire ordeal...
: My position wasn't the best one, but thankfully they couldn't see me. Then --
: Excuse us, if I may interrupt...
: It's fine. What are the results of the search?
: Okay, Reeves and I did not find Coleman Stryker anywhere. He seems to have left the castle.
: One of his robots has killed Derjavus, one of my close friends.
: Oh dearest that sounds bad. And then there's this newcomer sitting beside Sid.
: Knew he looked kinda phoney. Data, Streaks. We need to talk.
You are rather rudely dragged into an empty room and engaged in
psychological combat
: So, Streaks.
What place were you at before Data found you?
: Well, uh I was at Mechin right nearby, when Data came at my doorstep.
:
That village doesn't even exist!
: ...oh, nevermind. But it still seems close to our hatch and kind of far from Coleman's castle. Doesn't make sense, I would of have seen Data scurrying around.
: Data,
have you seen anyone else in Coleman's castle?
: There were two people watching me and him fight. He pushed me down and threatened to end my life and soul if I didn't tell him the location of our hatch.
: I quickly got up and ran behind a wall, narrowly dodging a shot.
: So you afterwards snatched one of the three people and dressed him up in that robe? I saw absolutely nobody here, except the robots.
: You probably scared them off and they used the back exit.
:
We saw no back exit there. Your words make less and less sense the longer I listen.: Actually there WAS a back exit, somewhere in the library. It's just that it only opens to Stryker himself.
: And it's a generic rotating bookcase with the red book for a button!
Anything else can you make up, Stryker?: ...Stryker?
: Yes. Did you know actually trying to be stealthy is quite good for your health?
All the cool kids on the block are doing it.:
Data, you have failed me for the last God-damned time. After dinner, we're going to condemn and execute both of you.: For the time you'll be locked in here, until we agree on a fitting execution for the both of you.
Make your time.
Reeves loudly slams the door behind him. You are left in the room. Congratulations, you just got psychiatrially stabbed in the heart, leaving you in a shock.
What do you do?
