Mr. Wesker and I have spoken a handful of times and he's been on my consideration list for some time. [So there's that.] You can see why I'm hesitant, but at this point I'm not too picky. We're at a disadvantage and I'm not about to say no to somebody who actually wants to do something. Why do you think I sent Anna on her own, or why I'm letting somebody who actually held a blade to my throat come back into my office for an assignment?

You've made a good case. I'll give you that.

[scythegun]

[Jaeger nods at the first part; that's exactly what he wanted to hear.]

I see. It sounds like you're really in need of help here...

[Good lord.]

Should you want my assistance, I'll do what I can.

[recollecters]

Trust me, I've been saying that for a while but nobody ever listens to me just because I'm the lowest on the totem pole. [Thanks Retrospec!!!]

What kind of skills do you have mastered by now? I haven't looked at your file for a while.

[scythegun]

[Thanks, Retrospec.........]

Fighting, primarily. I have knowledge of four different weapon types: sword, scythe, crossbow, and rifle, though I've received a bow that turns into a knife, so I could presumably remember how to use those as well. I've also remembered very powerful abilities called "artes", and I know how to use the majority of them.

[He usually doesn't, because he's good enough without them and because yelling attack names is embarrassing.]

I have slightly enhanced speed, strength, and durability, though nothing that really puts me above human limitations.

My skills primarily deal with fighting, but I can negotiate, should that skill be required instead of strength.

[It's true, but he's not exactly great at it, and he does have a tendency to get worked up very easily.]

[recollecters]

Then you're probably best suited for the field. If things are turning out the way I think they are, I'm going to need people who can hold their ground and fight when necessary. I'm hoping the people in other regions and stuff will come quietly but...you know. There's the whole trust issue.

Plus with everything on the sixth layer I don't even know what else to expect.

[scythegun]

Ja, of course. At this point, fighting's almost a requirement!

[Not that he's really complaining, he's enjoyed fighting since he first remembered how to handle his weapon.]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind, then. I think that's it for questions I have about what's coming up.

[...But obviously that's not it for questions in general, given the way he pauses. Sorry about that.]

How much do you know about the inner workings of Retrospec? I'm specifically asking about the processes behind who is placed on the app and what memories or physical regains are given out when, but anything you can tell me about the company would be appreciated.

[Depending on how much you know about him and his husband and their regains, it might be pretty obvious why he's asking.]

[recollecters]

...truthfully? I don't know as much as you guys probably want me to know. I know why people show up on the app in theory, but not the whos and hows. It all has to do with how much progress your soul has made at any given time.

You're all regrowing. I was regrowing at one point, too. Some of your fragments from your old worlds are easier to find than others so your soul stabilizes a lot faster. Generally we give back anything that's relevant to you so that you recomplete yourselves. That's...a flawed way of doing things, admittedly, but that's how it was decided.

I don't know if that makes sense. Think of it like sorting and separating. When things match, they go together. When they don't, they hang out elsewhere until a match comes up.

[scythegun]

I think I can make sense of that, yes.

[It's a bit strange, but that actually does make sense.]

That does lead me to another question, though. It's something that's been bothering me for quite some time, actually. Does Retrospec care at all about the people we are now, or is the end goal to "overwrite" us with our past selves, so to speak?

The person I am now and the person I was then are completely different. Even once I've regained all of those memories, I can't possibly be the same person. I don't want to be. I'm just curious if that's what Retrospec is trying to do to all of us.

[It's neutrally stated, but it is something he really wants to know.]
