>>6166863Mr. 'Soap', running a hand through his two day stubble, considers your response that you actually kinda know most of this already. Ethically dubious bioresearch lab in the back of a reptile-snack store? Check. The Rootpiercers made all of Dr. Despango's monitoring kit? Yeah, check. He was hunted by Red Crane operatives and they're here, even now? Yes. The Autonomous Noodle Stores are a little more advanced than they should be and seem to have opinions on taste and manners and are having some kind of feud? Yes.
Mr. 'Soap' considers for a little and then he shrugs and ask okay well do you want to sample the water? He can help with that. It's not HIS fault you wandered into the one building in this entire market that held a secret lab before asking him about permission to have a nGI fry through his cycling facility up north. Which, by the way, you are totally paying for the repair off.
Anyway, the koi fish.
Did you know they've been eating each other?
Ha ah! So there WAS something he knew you didn't!
