Best to stick with broad questions. You're not sure how much she knows and you don't want to waste time. Every second here counts.
You nod at Wendy to go ahead and start it. You have no doubt she'll be an excellent bad cop.
Wendy immediately smashes his baton into the Silver Agent's leg. While the Agent barely reacts to it at first, the tell-tale sound of a bone CRUNCHING and the leg suddenly bending in an angle it shouldn't is enough to get the Agent to let out a low hiss. You can't make out her face through the static covering it but you're certain she's not smiling anymore.
"We want quick, short answers. No tomfuckery. No long winded or vague statements." Wendy plants her foot right on the Agent's chair. "Are we clear?"
<span class="mu-s">"Crystal."</span>
"Good. We know you've been fucking around with REFINEMENT machines, collecting anomalous artifacts. For what purpose? What are you using them for?"
<span class="mu-s">"They didn't tell us much. Higher ups don't tell grunts like me everything. From my understanding, the artifacts are to condition us into tolerating outside anomalous influences. Machines? Well, <span class="mu-b">to refine A-Energy.</span> Why pay for C-Extract when you can make it yourself?"</span>
<<span class="mu-b">"We need a lot of energy, after all, to create the resources necessary to train and supply us. Buying enough from P-Corp would bankrupt us."</span>>
Huh. They're trying to become self sufficient.
"Does more than refine, that's for sure." Kiara hisses. "Your kind wasn't feeding it what it was supposed to be fed with."
"That is something I want to question." Naomi points out. "Why would someone try to forcefeed it human bodies?"
<span class="mu-s">"I suppose it's an attempt to make ICP. From what I understand, <span class="mu-b">it requires human neurological matter to properly create.</span> So, they cut right to the point."</span> Well, on one hand you're glad the Agent is being to the point with her responses but at the same time, that's revolting.
"Good. No more beatings for now, you get to live a bit longer. You're up next, Boss."
"Alright. Step back." After waiting for Wendy to get away from the agent, you take her place. You take a moment to clear your throat before you continue the questioning. "So. You know as much as I do that the Head is going to have a meeting soon. What kind of stunt are you fucks going to pull during it?
<span class="mu-s">"Why would I tell you that? I wouldn't know."</span>
"Bullshit. You somehow knew what the hell ICP was despite us never mentioning it. You know how REFINEMENT machines work even if it's surface level. You have to know something."
<span class="mu-s">"Feh. Again, I only know what they tell me."</span> <<span class="mu-b">"Her antlers look familiar. Didn't my bosses warn me about her?"</span>> <span class="mu-s">"To my understanding, the Eye in the Sky will be closed that day. Everyone's eyes will be focused on the 26 CEOs. <span class="mu-b">Too risky for us to engage with.</span> I'd probably use the time to recognize where our bases are.</span>"
