A Memory Faded

[DarkTails]

Nova became very suspicious after seeing the flicker of purple in Reyes' eyes, but remained calm on the outside. "We're not going to hurt him. We're only doing what we need to know everything that happened to you and your people. That stone won't be around to bother you or anyone again. It'll be locked up after I study it a little more, unable to speak or do anything to anyone again. And don't worry about Hemlock, I'm doing my best to look after him. What did you mean by you don't know if he's 'all there'? Did something happen?" Nova's voice remained soft, speaking like she was trying to comfort a friend, despite not knowing Reyes at all, she was still concerned.

One of Nova's men kept tabs on Hemlock in his forced quarters on Juneau, to keep Nova informed, while her lab team went over the stones design and trying to figure out it's ability to speak.
