The Blue & The Grey (Veterans Affairs)

You can make a Knowledge (anything with "Science" in it) or just check wikipedia....

"He's a biologist, and a real whiz. Actually, it was he who notified me of the existence of people like this Mr. Pruitt. Apparently, folks with outlandish stories like his have cropped up all over the nation, attempting to contact government figures. The last one I heard about said he was from Atlantis, and the one before that claimed he was one of our 'space brothers,' here to enlighten the human race about the evils of atomic bombs.

Here's the thing. Each person has made it seem like it is inevitable for us and the Russians to somehow unite, or renounce atomic war. I'm the last guy to agree with Joe McCarthy, but if this is some kind of Communist plot to sway the government, stories like these sound like just the ticket to do that.

Of course, if even one of them is telling the truth, things get a bit more complicated.

Pauling has tried to get information out of the Air Force Technical Intelligence Center at Wright Field - they've snapped up every one of these guys so far. He's gotten bits and pieces, though. Each contact has some sort of physical proof to back up his story. A jumpsuit impervious to small arms fire. Documentation of a 'psychic' power. He'd like a firsthand look at one of them, and I think that's a good idea."

It always comes back to Commies, doesn't it? "Okay, sir, we'll pick up Pruitt and take him to see the professor."

He hangs up the phone and turns to Bishop. "I guess we can delay our trip. Dales knows a professor at CalTech, name of Pauling. Apparently, there's guys spouting stories similar to Pruitt's all over. There's talk that it could be a Communist plot, which wouldn't surprise me. Anyway, this Pauling has done some research on it. We're supposed to take Pruitt up to see 'im."
 

"Looks like it is back to see the Doc. Looks like we are also headed to Pasadena." Bishop will state "Why doesn't a communist plot suprise me."

Bishop will get a cab and head back to the Navy base.
 

A quick trip gets you back to the doctor. Unless you have anything else to ask or say, he wishes you well and offers to help you out in the future. During this time Pruitt has been in a nicely-furnished reading room examining the latest Saturday Evening Post.
 

"All right, Mr. Pruitt, it's time for another ride." Heywood takes him and escorts him outside, hailing a cab for the trip to CalTech.
 



Heywood sighs. "No, Mr. Pruitt. This is all on us. Just sit back and enjoy it. There's another guy who wants to hear your story."
 

"Listen David this guy is going to listen to your story. Why don't you get some sleep while we ride on the train." Bishop will state to the man.
 

You say your goodbyes to the doctor and walk out to wait for a taxi. Prior to one coming, a slim man in a suit, with a military haircut, steps up to you.

"Agents Bishop and Heywood? I was hoping to have a word with you about your charge. I'm afraid I can't let you leave town with him."
