"Treat somebody...? Do I look like a therapist to you?" Kabocha sighed and rubbed at his forehead, wondering just how he was going to pull this off. Viral wasn't listening to his friends, why would he then listen to the punk that had just been fighting with him? "But at least we're familiar with PTSD, so it makes sense for one of us to be the ones to go. And I'm going out on a limb here, but it's probably best I go anyways. At the very least I'll get his attention so he'll listen to me." There was a fair bit needed to know in order to really do anything though. As they all knew PTSD was caused by some nasty events, something that really left a mark on you. I know it's got to have something to do with what was done to him, but what exactly?" 

"Bring Yumi with you, Viral seems to be more inclined to talk around her than anyone else." Vegeta added, turning to look at his friend. "Make Kabocha apologize if you have to, then try to get him to say something that'll help us. We can't keep dragging around trying to help him like this, we've got to figure out what is bothering him." 

Having Kabocha along for the ride didn't seem like a good idea at all, he butted heads just too much with Viral. An apology from the kid though was definitely needed, and maybe it would get the Beastman in a little better spirits. "All right... But don't expect any miracles from us. I mean we've all already tried talking to him." Yumi reached out and snagged Kabocha by his collar, starting to near drag him towards the back door despite protests of being handled like that. Once outside she honored his complaints and let him go, stepping back and looking up at the roof. "Viral? Are you up there? I want to talk, come down please!"

Ka'shra led Takeshi right into his home, through a cluttered dining room and into a den. Leaning over and plucking a stack of sheets off of one chair he dropped it onto a small end table gesturing for the boy to sit down. "Now what are these news that you've got to share with me?" 

"Right! Well we went to visit Katas earlier, and before we left he asked us to run some errands for him. One of them was to stop by here and ask if you could go to his office. He's got something he wanted to share with you I think."

"Share with me...? Why is that nutjob asking for me? I'm retired, I've got no stake to any of his business and I scarcely know the man." That was a terribly curious request, Ka'shra couldn't fathom a reason for it. 

Takeshi had to take a pause for a moment as he thought that over, trying to bide time for an answer. "It's some military tech I think, something he's hoping to give to the troops," the Saiyan answered, shrugging his shoulders. "He didn't say why, but I'd guess he wants a veterans opinion about it. Maybe to see how you think it'd be used?"
"That's nothing he couldn't ask the general for, no reason to ask for me. This entire request is a waste of my time." Ka'shra was about to dismiss the Saiyan until he spoke up rather hastily.

"He doesn't want the general knowing about it!" Takeshi said a bit panicked, biting his lip nervously as he was scrutinized for that. "W-Well... He said that it's a prototype and... If it fails he's worried about being in trouble for wasting resources. So uh... He figured asking you first was safer, since you're not in charge of him." Crap, there was nothing to hold over this guy like there was in the case of S'uma. Now he was stuck blowing it out of his rear trying to come up with something convincing.
