[Narvin is suspicious and paranoid and generally thinks that people are out to get him even under the best of circumstances. So hearing from the news report that the person who set off the skeleton spawner is possibly an import--someone he knows--is stoking the paranoia, and building fears that the native population might turn ugly against them all.]

How lovely learning that one of us may be responsible for attempting to slaughter everyone. I'm sure that endears us to the natives.

[Narvin leans forward, steeples his fingers.]

Of course, a psychic scan could quickly clear all this up. Targeted for only relevant information, of course. If you're innocent, you'd have nothing to worry about.

At least he's not recommending the mind probe.]

I'm speaking purely as a civilian offering a potential resource for clearing up this mess.

It's not… that I'm implying you're overstepping your bounds, but generally people don't go to that kind of extreme so quickly without… [A shrug.] at least being pretty odd.

[Sighs.]

If you were not the CIA Coordinator or someone with a similar... sort of history, then you would be odd. To other people.

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

There's an abundance of eccentric people here. Who will pay mind to one more?

[Wynter has no horse in this race, so he shrugs himself.] If you say so.
