Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

If you want to reach Blue Beetle, his voice is technologically altered, a slight robotic tinniness to his otherwise human voice.

"You've reached Blue Beetle. Leave a message after the beep."

You've been collecting information on Project Chimera, haven't you? The powers stolen from kidnapped transports for those UE soldiers.

[khajidont]

Yeah, I have been. Why?

[velveteened]

I'm interested in what you've found out.

Re: text; blue beetle line

[velveteened]

It's not really fair to just ask like that, though. I was one of them, so if there's something I see that you're missing, I can tell you about it.

[khajidont]

Sure, I'm down for an info swap.

[He would have given away the information regardless, but he can't say he's not happy to get some more, free of prompting. He's starting to feel a little bad about chasing down all these traumatized people and making them relive their experiences.]

I've been making a bunch of lists for it. I'll send it over.

[Linked is this document, minus the information about the corpses found - that discovery came later - and the list of people receiving the information.]

[velveteened]

Thank you.

[velveteened]

( and after a look-over )

Actually, just one thing. Whatever I tell you, please don't share who you heard it from.

( it's clearly not the case in the document, but one never can be too careful. this is the first time he'll speak of it to anyone with any detail. )

[khajidont]

Sure thing.

[velveteened]

Blood was one thing, but they were also interested in hair and skin — anything you can get DNA from, I think. There were experiments as well as tests, though I couldn't tell you what the purpose was. It was probably to collect as much information as possible; the UE wanted the scientists to finish as quickly as they could. They were examining peoples' cells too.

[khajidont]

All right. What kinds of experiments are you talking about?

And by cells do you mean like blood cells or the actual cells you were kept in?

[velveteened]

They weren't very interested in telling us. But not everything matched up with just trying to study us or collect samples.

Ah, body cells. There weren't anything like traditional prison cells.

[khajidont]

Oh. Right.

[Yeah, he was totally imagining big traditional jail cells, like something out of a movie.]

Anyway, thanks for telling me. I know it's not fun talking about all this. You want to get another copy of this once I know more?

[velveteened]

( he was too before he saw the place, honestly. )

It's fine, and yes.

[khajidont]

Sure thing. I'll keep in touch.

Let me know if you find out anything new?

[velveteened]

( he's leaving some things out as it is but, )

I will. Blue Beetle, right? I'm Oz.

[khajidont]

You got it. Nice to meet you.

[...because hey, even talking about killer child clones in a moonbase, Mama Reyes taught him his manners.]
