He backed up a bit, placing himself in a defensive stance that was natural from years of practice. "Ma'am, I think there has been a misunderstanding. I wasn't denying that Nero was me; he was one of my cover identities that was created as part of my investigation. I have access to some rather fast travel accommodations, so that is how I managed to make it here so quickly."

Thankfully he had non-lethal rounds loaded at the moment, but that would only do him so much good when the two MPs were factored into the equation. Damn...I never thought she would act like this. Her profile and my interactions with her led me to believe she wouldn't be so quick to take action like this. I'm guessing it has something to do with the remains they recovered. "Now, if you will take a second and calm down, we can come to a mutual understanding. I still need to ask you some questions, and I would like to get my previous questions answered at some point..."

He could tell that she had told them the story - as best she was able to determine - about how he had died. She really does care about these men and women that she recovers...she wants to tell their story and give some sort of closure to the families. "Now, what is it going to be Dr. Pascal? I know you've certainly had a stressful and emotionally draining day...what with delivering that soldier back to his family and telling his story to them."
