You think back on what you said to Adam.

"You brought a man back from the verge of distortion. Isn't that something to be proud of?"
"I- Anyone could've done that. Or maybe it's because I was a friend of his. So what?"
"I've seen countless anomalies but that's the only one I saw 'reverted'. That has to mean something."
He turns his head to the side so you can't see his reaction.
"...Do you think I could revert you back? I saw your organs - They're pink slop. I don't know where your heart starts and your liver ends."
"The surgery I did on you? It was guesswork - I think your body just accepts whatever I do as healing it."
"Heh. Guess you're good with anomalies then."
>ADAM gains +2 WILLPOWER, +1 MAX RESTRAINT and [ANOMALY TAMER]
>[ANOMALY TAMER] He knows how to deal with anomalous entities and artifacts that are far, far beyond his understanding. He adds his COGNIZANCE dice to any WILLPOWER check involving PARADIGMS or other anomalous items. Anomalies also tend to stay calm when he's around.
>He is now at 6/8 RAPPORT!

As for Anderson?
Yeah. This dude is shady. He's been following you around for what must've been hours and when you magically find his gun, THAT'S when he reveals himself?
It's almost like he expected you to find it. Which, frankly, that sounds like the type of bullshit luck a cartoon character would have.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] We were told he would be here by the Antennae Voices. That we shouldn't trust him fully - Even if he wants to help us.
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] He is drawn to this gun for one reason or another. Ask him. We need more information before we decide on anything.
[UNSTABLE] SHOULD WE EVEN TELL HIM WE HAVE IT?
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] I don't think we can hide it.
You show him the bolt action pistol. Anderson leans closer to look at it but you pull it away. "Somethin' about this gun is bothering me. I instinctually KNOW that, for some reason, no one here can use it."
You try to squeeze the trigger. The trigger refuses to budge even a single centimeter. Like it's pushing your finger away. "Why is that?"
You think he's smiling under his gas mask. "Why can't I use your shotgun?"
"How do you know I have THAT?" "Well? Do you?"
You squint. You toss over your FEDKILLER, fully loaded, to Anderson. He calmly picks it up and aims it right at Naomi. The trigger refuses to budge either - His finger is being repulsed from putting any real pressure on it.
He tosses the gun back to your feet. "Let's just say, unlike yours, I'm not tied to it in a way where I can summon it back to me."
Hm. So it's a PARADIGM and he has SOME link to it but it's not HIS PARADIGM, like your FEDKILLER or Maruyama's katana. Interesting.
"Okay, weird gun aside, what's uh." Adam snaps his fingers while he tries to remember what he's going to say. "What's going up on the surface? We've been stuck here for hours"
"Ah. Now that's a question worth answering. To put it bluntly, <span class="mu-r">every District in the City on high alert.</span>"
