[Charon sure doesn't recognize him as one of the members of the security team, that's for sure.]

You're not security. Who are you?

Narvin.

I'm a computer specialist and technician. I work in the research lab analyzing alien tech excavated from the ruins.

You're a civilian.

[As far as he's concerned, at least.]

There's no alien tech or computers down there. Just dead bodies. Stay outta the mines.

Yessir. [Narvin says, disappointed and with a tiny touch of snark. Being a civilian is terribly inconvenient when one wants to stick ones nose into everything.]

I'll just stay up here where it's nice and safe and do safe things with the other civilians.

[And try not to let his curiosity and desire to root out the terrorists drive him crazy.]

[Sorry, was that sarcasm? Charon is immune to your sarcasm!]

Sounds like a plan.

[timesbureaucrat]

Wonderful.

[More sarcasm, spoken in vain in the face of Charon's stoicism.]

Enjoy your crime scene.
