“Oh yeah?” Rebecca said to Dexter with extra sass. “Will you feel better if we evolve again and get even taller?” She was beginning to think that she was getting over this whole eldritch nightmare issue. She was making good friends chasing these terrible mysteries. She nodded blankly when the Growlithe said that Celes probably roughed that dude up enough, though. 

As they explored further, their client informed them that his organization was obsessed with humans. Her eyes widened to the point where you could practically see the lightbulb above her head if you were looking hard enough.

“Ohhhhhhhh!” Rebecca realized. “That explains so much! Yeah, humans had like these really big cities and kingdoms. It seems like the entire land from coast to coast was under one government at one point. And like, almost [i]everyone[/i] had a proper roof over their head.” She began to pay a lot more attention to the equipment around here, but it seemed to be very… charred. Bummer...

Their client used some sort of keycard, prompting a discussion about why they didn’t just use normal keys, and Rebecca frowned. She thought they were easier to produce somehow, or easier to carry, or you couldn’t pick them, but she actually wasn’t exactly sure of why they used them. She might need to ask if she ever went home.
