This was coming easy to him, and this just reinforced his desire to "get back to himself" and spend some time in his own identity. "Now, I just have a few questions Dr. Pascal. All I ask is that you be honest and be as descriptive and clear as possible. First, did you notice your project lead acting suspiciously at all during your time in the field? Second, did he "acquire" any items that were not previously on the "compound"? Finally, did he seem to be in a rush to depart or upon arrival did he rush off to get away?"
