Has everyone gone nuts? Is that this week's experiment? Because I don't feel nuts.
[A brief pause as he considers his previous statement.] But if I were nuts, I wouldn't think I was, would I? Huh.
[Wait, no. Shaking his head.]
Whatever! Point is, we have to keep our heads.
And, uh... well, I guess that's it.
[...]Does anyone need any help? I

Okay, so if they're jerkish and evil, they're being controlled. What can we do to fix it?

You got it. And as far as what we can do....no idea. I mean, I guess there's the killing option but I really don't like that one. It kind of really sucks as an option. Besides, there's too many of them for that. I guess the best we can do is watch them and try to keep the people are aren't being controlled away from them.

Woah, yeah, no, let's not kill anyone. Watching them works as a temporary measure... but there has to be some way to... release them from whatever's controlling them.

There's.. not a lot of people that trust me this week, and I don't blame you if you mistake me for someone else... but there is something you can do to help.
We're evacuating the people who live close by to the known controlled people. People without powers, or too young to use them to defend themselves. Taking someone in could go a long way to keeping people out of harm's way.

Why don't people trust you? You don't sound like you're a jerk, or evil...
That sounds like a good idea! Do you happen to know about anyone who needs taking in?

[Yeah, that's really the crutch of his defense.]
"But whether you're you or I'm me or not, I haven't seen you before, so I doubt you'd target me. You sound pretty sane to me."
[He pauses in a moment of contemplation. Ugh, Much as he hates to admit..]
"At this point, I'd say the best we can do is keep ourselves safe. No telling who has been affected."

Yeah, I guess so. Still, there has to be some way to fight this... we just haven't found it yet.

[Despite the idle threat, Jet is smirking a bit.]
"I don't plan on giving you any reason to think I'll need to be taken down a few pegs, but you can assume I'll do the same for you."
[Jet crosses his arms. It's time for the thinking face.]
"Donno how many weeks you've been around here, but we don't always get a cure to experiments. Until we figure out what's wrong with these people, we can't assume there's any way to help them. One thing I do know though? Fail to protect yourself and get killed by them and you'll hurt them worse than the other way around. You have some means of defending yourself?"

Man, I didn't even think about that... but that's okay, because I'm not going to die. I promised someone I wouldn't. So yes, I can defend myself.

[Ya like that explains anything.]
