The vehicle Digimon's arm shifts sharply, motioning to the wreckage.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"I've been stuck here for two days, cordoning off the area and making a full report. Just gotta suck it up and do what I'm told... Boring stuff, really. Just a bit more and- ah, I'm getting carried away."</span></span>
It looks up at the roof with its bulging eye, trying to get a bead on you and your hiding spot.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"I gave you something. I'm gonna have to ask some questions now, in exchange. I spotted a whole lot of workshop goods in these ruins. How exactly do you know this guy again?"</span></span>
This was what you were afraid of. Sharing your connection with Doc will raise questions, and even if you find him, the city will have data if you snitch.
"He, uh... He's..."
You try hard to come up with some fake connection to link him to. But you have nothing. You just don't know enough about this topic to come up with a convincing lie. You can't even conceptualize some big social circle to include him in, that doesn't involve skulking around in the underworld.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"A code cracker, yeah. I can tell. And no puzzle-solver could make their way in here that easily. Sorry, lady. You're the only lead I've got. I'm going to have to take you in if I want to advance this case."</span></span>
The robot shifts about, getting ready to act.
"Wait!"
>Offer it something it wants to hear. If you want it to cooperate, you need to start sharing some info of your own. You'll need to reveal yourself as a customer, and share whatever you think you can spare. As bad as that sounds, it might let you lead into some other topic.
>Let Phascomon attack it. If you don't stop it from engaging hostilities, your partner knows to strike first. You have a hunch that you know what it takes to Digivolve, so maybe it's not an impossible foe.
