Alright, anyway, it's time to head to the island.

There really wasn't much to say on the way through. Just had me a bizarre dream equating my ex-wife to Dolores Dei. Then I found where the shot came from. Finally, I'm able to open the blast door and come face to face with "The Deserter". I spend almost an hour of real time grilling him on the what's, who's, and why's of his crime. I'm able to reason out that he also killed the previous negotiator for Wild Pines.

After everything, I go to cuff him, but I get a red Perception prompt. It's a 28%'er. But I've been interrogating this guy for an hour and have 5 level-ups to use. If I don't use them now, then when? I pump three levels into Perception, making it a 72% shot and go for it. And....... I can't even begin to describe my incredulousness as to what transpired. I find the fucking Insulindian Phasmid. It approaches me and Kim moves to take a picture. I'm able to stop him and converse with the creature. It explains that he is making the deserter mad through some magic field and it's deteriorating his mind. It goes on to say that humanity is the cause of the pale and a whole bunch of other shit that's hard for me to process at this stage of the game. I thank him for the info, share a quick physical bond, lick his uh.... juices that land on my arm (yes that is a real thing that happened), and tell Kim that he's OK to take the picture. We get a beautiful piece of artwork onscreen, and I back away slowly as he skims back across the water away from us.

I was 100% sure this was just going to be a distraction and the suspect would've been long gone when I came back to him, but no, he's still there. In fact, he's almost catatonic. Any questions I ask him anymore are met with incomplete sentences or empty stares. We reason that he's not in any shape to run from us, so it would be prudent to head back and gather a medical team to tend to him.

When I reach shore, I'm confronted by my other team members. They've been waiting to talk with me to go over how unfit I am to keep working. But Kim has my back and tells them about all I've accomplished over the past week. They admit that I still have the touch and accept me back on the team. I've even stirred some interest in Kim joining us. We all hop in the creepy guy's car and leave Martinaise once and for all.
