Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jemal" data-source="post: 5948390" data-attributes="member: 9026">Phoenix eyes Uomo thoughtfully for a moment before responding "Yes, It would appear we underestimated your information gathering skills.  If they are truly that formidable, they should be put to good use in our employ.  Very well, I admit our interest in Laura is more than just humanitarian.  She is, as you have surmised, a unique specimen among our kind.  The transferal of life energy that she is capable of shouldn't be possible, but if it is, think of the ways it could help, the healing we could do.  Imagine, Comrade, if disease and injury and death were to all of our kind as they are to you." He smiles as his gaze shifts from Uomo to Laura, looking proud.  "But first, we very much need to know how she does it, what makes her.. 'tick'.  Oh don't worry my dear, no invasive testing or locking you in a lab, nothing like that, no no.. just a sample of your DNA for our labs to test.  And we will, of course, provide you with a safe and secure location to rest after your ordeals down south... unless of course, you feel comfortable enough with these fine folk to help them on their next mission?"[sblock=Computer]Genie seems distraught at his words, ignoring his question about her own affiliation. "But we don't hurt people with our hacking.. Not like that ice golem attack, working with these terrorists.. I saw the security footage of what they did in Washington.  Why would you help people like that?  And giving them that poor girl.. I thought you were a better person than that, you're like me.. "[/sblock][ooc] Uomo's trickery has gotten some information out of Phoenix, and seems to have reinforced in him the notion that you are useful and trustworthy.His desire to use Laura's powers to 'help' seem legitimate, but you feel that is not his only motivation.  There is still more he is unwilling to divulge at the moment, but pushing any harder will likely be going too far.[/ooc]</blockquote>
