"Well, I am by no means an expert at hypnothereapy, but I can give it a shot."

Pruitt relaxes in a chaise lounge as Darrow begins this process. In a few minutes he is under. After asking several questions, the doctor gives up in frustration. Still, you can tell that what he did uncover has profoundly disturbed him. A basic breakdown:

(1) He recalls little about his childhood. He admits to growing up on a farm, evidently a dairy farm, but can give few details about where.

(2) The war he believes he participated in was apparently conducted in outer space. The US and USSR united in the face of an alien threat. He says he speaks some Russian, and that the rocket crews were of mixed nationalities. With some sort of advanced technology the Earth was able to build and launch space vessels. But the war went badly and the earth was destroyed. He assumes he is on some sort of hidden base orbiting one of the outer planets.

You can roll Sense Motive roll based on what you have heard.

Heywood says to Bishop, "I'm not an expert in hypnotherapy, but from what I do know, he at least believes what he is saying about the war. The question is: what do we do about it?"
 

"We were sent to try and discover the story on this guy. And to figure out if he was telling the truth. We have the first part down. We know his story, now we need to figure out the validity of it." Bishop will state.

"Doc is it possible for you to keep this guy for a couple days under our authority? Hell give the guy a fake name and number. Say you have to figure his true ID out." Bishop will tell the Doc "That should give us a few days to discover a little more on this guy."

"From there we can start to piece together this guys story." Bishop will finish.
 


"We haven't talked to Dales on this yet. But my fear is that if we let Pruitt go, he will disappear on us." Bishop will state to the Doc.
 

"Can you give us a minute, doc?" Heywood pulls Bishop to the side. "I don't know about you, but I don't want to run to the brass every time we have to make a decision. We're not going to get much more out of this guy."

He pushes his glasses up his nose. "We don't know where he grew up. The only concrete thing we know that we can investigate now is the Manhattan Project. He said that is what triggered the aliens into moving against us. That means they are monitering us now. I know a little about the project. Part of it was done right next door in Los Alamos. Why don't we just send a telegram to Dales telling him we're following up on some stuff and that we'll be in New Mexico? Then we go check it out and see if we can't find something."
 

"I agree with you, I don't want to run to Dales everytime. But if Pruitt is anywhere near telling the truth I want to be able to track him down. If we let him go, I have the feeling he is gone forever. We will never get the chance to do a follow-up interview. I want to see if the Doc will hold him for us, at least for a week." Bishop will state to his partner.

"New Mexico sounds like the next stop then." Bishop will state.
 

"Sounds good to me." Heywood walks back over toward Dr. Darrow. "So, doc, is there anyway you can hold this guy here for a week or two?"
