((Any more input? What would you like to ask Karista?))

Nothing until she's safely cuffed. but for starters...

1. Do you know what was inside you?
2. When did you get infected?
3. What are the odds that the big one that saved you, will be alive?
4. Did you willingly take on the infection for revenge?

Dramatic imperative indicates that she is currently safe, if a possible enemy agent at some distant time. More pragmatically though, she should probably be sedated and quarantined until proper containment, interrogation, and therapeutic facilities are present...

Se seems pretty clearly to be aware of what happened. obvious questions would be:
What measures did it leave behind in case of discovery or departure? Do we need to worry about bioweapons being released on the Morey homeworld if it doesn't send a message once a week?
How long until it's handlers know that it is missing? Does it have a regular timetable of sending reports?
Who did it trust? Can we get a list of known enemy agents?
What was it interested in? Did they send any Morey technology home? Did it organise extensive scouting or fortification of any locations? Maybe it went to pains to leave specific locations undisturbed...
Why was it here? Attacking the Vanguard personally using predominantly Morey technology seems like a big risk to take when they basically controlled the Morey...
Ask the Morey to conduct a formal investigation into what happened to Karista. We want as reliable a source as possible to convince the Morey populace of what transpired.

Well what the rush

P.S. if it's not your signing data you can claim back your travel costs , ditto interviews if they occur outside your "area".

You need to get proof of your travel costs and the reason you had to go, i.e. a letter, then you go in to the jobcenter and ask nicely for them to cover it, as long as your claim is reasonable (i.e. a bus ticket not a taxi) you sign the form and they pay the money into your bank account.

It's a hassle but it helps.
It's one of the things they don't tell you about, like Budgeting Loans (there interest free loans to help with work cloths and the like.)

Does that only work for Job centers? I heard something here in the U.S actually, but it was one of my college proffesors who said if he gets tax breaks because he reports travel costs. Not sure EXACTLY how it works but i'd like to find out as a helpful note in the future. ((I DO NOT INTEND TO USE IT FOR STUPID THINGS I.E TAKING A FLIGHT TO HAWAII AND HAVING MY GOVERMENT PAY FOR, THAT'S JUST BEING A DICK IMHO.))

I have no idea how the US tax system works, but it sounds like he's getting money back for travel costs as there businesses expenses.

(Take that flight to hawaii and there gone ask why'd you need to go? and was that a reasonable way to travel?)

In theory, if you need to take a flight 'from' Hawaii so as to meet with the welfare agency then that would seem necessary... Indeed, it is difficult to find a reason other than 'obviously evil' that al return transport costs would not be valid business expenses. I mean, it is obviously impractical for a business to facilitate employees at whatever random location they chose to spend their recreational time at. There are probably perfectly legitimate psychological issues that could necessitate time in new surroundings with a nonemployment focus... Honestly, the whole thing seems like a fundamentally untenable idea to me. But hey, it hasn't exploded yet...
