Drake was never one to follow rules or protocol, he always did what he wanted when he wanted and for the longest of time General Vulture has put up with his antics because of how valuable he was to the Crimson Vulture but after today that may all soon change. It was unwise to sneak into the office of your boss, even more so when they commanded an entire army and could have you executed for pretty much any reason he pleased. But Drake didn't care about that. When it came to Ayanna, Zach, Meryl and those he cared about there nothing he wouldn't do, no rule he wouldn't break. And that's why he found himself in General Vulture's office on the top floor of the main Isafaro base found at 'The Core', an area of military bases that from a bird's eye view looked like the letter H.
The office was empty meaning General Vulture was more than likely off somewhere at work, giving him free reign to check his office as none of the underlings who worked on that floor would ever think to question why someone of Drake's stature was in the General's office. He looked around, digging through all kinds of secret files to find that one piece of data. The Golden Boy of Isafaro finally would find it underneath some yellow envelopes as he booted up the computer on Vulture's desk and put the disc inside to see what it says. A list of names, meetings and dates then appeared on the monitor. Drake looked over the list, a lot of the names he recognized as high ranking officers and well-respected scientists that worked with Isafaro, nothing new. But then there was a name that appeared on the list he didn't recognizef that caught his attention.

Kailix really had no reason to be at Vulture's today. After all he was out, but there was another matter. It came to his attention that Drake had gone missing. He had probably went after the data disk. And that meant he too would be here today. No one in the mian part of the building even seemed to notice him. It was better this way. At least for him it was better. Sure if he had been intruding and the General found out they would all end up dead, but sometimes prices were necessary. One look around the place confirmed his suspicions. Drake was here. The confused looks on what to do about him spolke more then their words ever would. As if right on cue as soon as Drake asked that one question he appeared leaning on the doorway. ”That would be me Drake.” he said tipping his hat to him as soon as he had his attention. He finally opened his eyes to look at the other. ”One could ask why you were snooping around the General's office. Especially while hes away.” he said taking the opportunity to close the distance to stand in front of the desk. His statement was neither an accusation, nor a question. It was just a statement. One that Drake would be hard pressed to deny. It was odd that it was while he was away. Maybe Kailix could use that somehow later.

"That would be me Drake."
Drake looked up from the computer monitor towards the green headed man at the doorway. Why couldn't people have normal hair color anymore?
"One could ask why you were snooping around the General's office. Especially while hes away."
“Looking for porn, what else?”
Drake walked around the desk to the other side, keeping his eyes on the man and examining him seeing that he fit Meryl's description to a tee. Which could only mean one thing.
“So, Meryl was telling the truth. You set her up.” |

Kailix chuckled at Drake's response. Truth be told he hadn't really been expecting a straightforward answer to his question. If Drake could've been doing this on legal means there would have been no reason for him to be up here while the General was away. ”I would've thought considering your reputation, you would've preferred the real thing. I suppose that every person has their own secrets.” he said with a shrug. Kailix didn't seem concerned as the other man walked around the table. To be honest he had no reason to be really. Drake's accusation didn't startle him either, in fact he was tempted to see just how much trouble he could cause with it. Or at the very least how much he could mess with Drake. A slightly confused look passed over his face. ”Excuse me?” he asked taking his time in his next reply slowly almost as if he was trying to recall each word. ”Meryl? Private Meryl perhaps?” he asked removing his hat and almost absent mindely rubbing his fingers against it. ”Ah, yes. Private Meryl.” he said slipping his hat back on. ”I remember reading her initial report about her latest encounter not to long ago, but then her squad had conflicing reports. You still believe her?” he asked just a hint of doubt in his voice. Every action was pointing to the fact he really didn't know anything about it, which is exactly how he wanted it.

"I would've thought considering your reputation, you would've preferred the real thing. I suppose that every person has their own secrets."
“Mm, a guy who likes sex that also watches porn. What a secret!” he said sarcastically.
"Excuse me? Meryl? Private Meryl perhaps?"
“Naw. The other Meryl who goes door to door selling chocolate chip cookies.”
"Ah, yes. Private Meryl. I remember reading her initial report about her latest encounter not to long ago, but then her squad had conflicting reports. You still believe her?"
“All I know is a jackass with stupid hair that I never heard of before appears on the same day a friend of mine gets in trouble and describes a man matching your description exactly as being on the scene doing what her teammates are accusing her of. And here you are on the data that was stolen and standing in front of me. Now as you no doubt may know, I'm not some low-ranking class officer. I'm an elite. And if I never saw you before this incident the chances of Meryl seeing you at any other time are slim to none. But please if you have another explanation do enlighten me.” |

Kailix chuckled at both of his responses. At least it would be an interesting conversation. At the very least if nothing else he would have some fun on the commentary. Kailix listened to his rant, but there were several things wrong with it if one actually looked at it. Was he aware? Perhaps not, but the major thing he took from it was one part in particular. That was his major objection to it. Although he could come up several more reasons why, but he started with that. ”You're saying my hair is stupid?” he asked a tad bit more concerned about that. He shook his head. That was for another time. ”However. Even with what you're saying theres flaws with the theory itself. As you now know from the data it's not just anything. It's info on well known people in the government. If my name is in there that means I have some connection with them. Not against them. Of course I'm not at liberty to describe my relationship with the government. Need to know. And given the fact you didn't know I'm going to say you aren't in the know.” he said with a wave of his hand. ”Secondly the type of technology needed for a shield as described in the report doesn't exist. If you eliminate that, it leaves magic. Once you get into that category however you enter into a realm of virtual limitless. If that is indeed the case it may have been possible for the real assailant to change forms. Or maybe even be using using a device that changes appearance. That still doesn't explain the conflicting reports however.” he said. He was leading Drake along while at the same time disproving his theories. At the very least he hoped he was.

"You're saying my hair is stupid?"
“You look like a head of cabbage.”

“And Meryl knows less than I, yet she knows what you look like. Explain that.”

Great he was conversation about hair with someone whose own hair looked like a mop. Drake had to know thats what his hair looked like. Still no matter what you didn't mess with a man's hair. Unless you were trying to provoke them. He wasn't sure if that was Drake's intent or not. Either way continuing this line of thinking wasn't going to help anything in the least. At least for his purposes so he let it be. Kailix shrugged at his question. ”As I already said the use of magic could have been involved. There is also the possibility of a look a like running about. I'm sure you're aware of the merging realms. So I trust you can figure out it may be all too entirely possible for another me to be running around as it is for you.” he said. Of course there were other reasons involved, but he would get to those later. For now he had other matters to reply to and work around. The first was convincing Drake of his innocence. The next was of course setting some things up for later. Always good to see some fireworks after some hard work. ”There’s a problem with your theory. I've never meet any of the other soldiers. Even if you asked them yourself you'd get the same answer. Secondly I wasn't even in the area. I was actually getting this.” he said slipping a hand into his pocket pulling out a data disk. Drake should be able to pin his department down by that. Intelligence. Kailix handed it to him. ”Look it over if you like. It's a device that can supposedly change ones appearance. Also a viable explanation.” he said waiting to see if there were any other objections he had. What would his next explanation be? Or would he still be hung up on this one?

Another Drake? This world ain't big enough. Better hide your wife.
"There’s a problem with your theory. I've never met any of the other soldiers. Even if you asked them yourself you'd get the same answer."
“There's a problem with your brain...”
"Secondly I wasn't even in the area. I was actually getting this. Look it over if you like. It's a device that can supposedly change ones appearance. Also a viable explanation."
Drake took the data and ran it on Vulture's PC to make sure it was legit. Once it was proven so he put it in his pocket and headed for the door. The defense for Meryl's innocence was cleared from the get-go and now he had actual evidence to back it up. If they could convince Vulture and a court that the attacker was someone who looked like Meryl it would bide them enough time to find the real attacker. He gave the head of cabbage a wave as he exit the office.
