A Quest for Truth

Because the hard drive Aren had found was unlocked by his friend, he had been pouring over the contents of it. Sadly there wasn’t much helpful information towards him in it, in fact it spoke very little of him much to his confusion. So eventually instead of looking for information directly from the hard drive, Aren searched for people that could give him answers. Aren had no clue where any of the scientists of the Foundation currently were so he hoped he could find someone who was merely an assest the Foundation counted on.

Aren spent hours going through buisness transcripts trying to find something, anything that he could use to help him and after all the time spent he finally found something. The Foundation had occasionally relied on the assistance of someone named Sarah Evita for machinery that they would use in their containment procedures or during testing. After some reason Aren had learned that Ms. Evita actually resided in a mansion on the island. Excited, Aren quickly got dressed and rushed out the door to her address.

The mansion was larger than Aren had expected it to be. In fact it was actually a little intimidating for him. Aren carefully walked to the gate that blocked the entrance to the mansion and buzzed in at the terminal. “M-Ms. Evita? Are you there? I-I-I wanted to ask you some questions...about a group called the Foundation?” Aren said meekly to the terminal in hopes of her letting him in.

Aren was relieved to hear Ms Evita over the terminal respond to him. He was completely unsure if she was even him so it was nice that she was and that she was willing to talk. Of course Aren was suprised however to not see Ms Evita greet him personally but instead a very cute girl. Aren’s face went bright red when he noticed her. “O-Oh o-o-Okay. That’s f-fine.” Aren would begin to follow the girl across the pathway into the mansion. When she asked for his name Aren tried best not to hesitate. “Oh i-it’s not a problem at all! M-m-my name is Aren Mulivic. I’m a junior at the academy.”

Aren merely smiled and nodded to what Belladona was saying, his mind currently racing with questions to ask Ms Evita when he finally did meet her. Aren barely even noticed the grandeur of the mansion itself as he was too lost in his own mind.

Aren eventually snapped out of the trance that he was in when Belladona asked for him to sit down. Aren softly nodded to her and took a seat in one of the luxurious chairs in the center. The chair was very comfortable but it was obvious Aren was still unnerved by the entire meeting despite him being the one who sought her out. “M-My relationship with Ms Evita? The relationship...isn’t really anything. I’m just a nobody tied to the Foundation, and it’s her tie to it which brought me here in the first place....”

Aren was very quick to notice the opening of another door, watching an older woman (whom he presumed to be Ms Evita) walk out into the parlor. He had only just met the woman but she had already unnerved him. If the Foundation listed her as an asset then she was certainly human but something about her made him uncomfortable. “O-O-Oh n-no your daughter was p-perfectly fine.” Aren said, shuffling uncomfortably in his chair. When she asked if they had met before Aren had simply shook his head. “No we have not. T-The Foundation wasn’t one to s-share secrets easily. M-May I ask what the Foundation told you about themselves when they h-hired you?” Aren knew very well that the Foundation wasn’t a group to let their inner workings leak easily. If Ms. Evita was told something it was probably lies or very vague.

Aren looked rather confused at Ms. Evita’s comment. Be more specific? How could be more specific? He understood how she might had misunderstood him but he was honestly still surprised. “The Foundation, thats their name. I can’t be more specific than that as they often weave stories to tend the people they hire.” Aren perked up at Ms Evita’s other question however, not paying much attention to Belladona. “O-Oh I have an old hard drive from them that contains information on all their assets, you were listed as one of them.”
