Bring it over and I'll tell you what I can about it!

Very well, then.

[You know, he will show up at a reasonable hour this time? Probably because everything isn't going to shit for once. He seems to be in...well, not a good mood, because Wesker just doesn't do good moods very well, but he seems far less of a mess than he has for the past month and a half and that's likely saying something.]

[That's good! That's actually really good and goes a long way to putting Jaeger's mind at ease. He'll let Wesker in and once again lead him to the study, just because that's his favorite place to sit.]

So you received a gun recently?

So I did. Unloaded and with no ammunition, at least. Probably for the best, given that they mailed it to me, the same as they did with the knife.

[He'll take it out from where he's been carrying it and pass it over; it's a custom-made kitbash abomination of a Baretta, with the RPD medallion inlaid in the grip, as well as the S.T.A.R.S. logo engraved on the slide. Along with the other ridiculous amounts of mods that it's got on it - the accessory rail, the dotted sights, the fucking laser, the...absurdly high-tech silencer...the fact that for some fucking goddamn reason the entire lower half of the gun has been replaced with stainless steel?]

I just can't imagine why so much of this is necessary on a handgun.

[Like, was this made for a legally blind assassin? What the fuck is any of this.]

[Well, he'll examine it but from the expression on his face, this is utterly baffling.]

I've never seen a handgun modded like this before. This is... certainly something. I don't really know what to make of it, honestly.

Apparently it's police-issued, for some reason - that's what the insignia on it would indicate, anyway.

I've recently recalled parts of that, incidentally. Not much, but some.

Oh? You were on the force?

[...]

You?

[Look, he knows these memories are very different but he can't wrap his head around Albert Wesker, The Police Officer.]

...Believe me, I wasn't expecting it, either.

[HE...HE UNDERSTANDS...]

Apparently I was in charge of some sort of specialized unit. Special Tactics and Rescue Services. [He gestures vaguely at the engraving on the gun. S.T.A.R.S.] Alpha Team was apparently mine; I held the rank of captain at the time, I believe.

Really! My, I certainly wouldn't have expected that sort of thing from you, but that's an interesting occupation! What else did you remember about it?

Unfortunately, not much. But the fact remains that that's possibly the sanest thing I've remembered so far.

[He does remember that something may have been...wrong with it, in some ways, but no worse than anything he's doing here in terms of what's ethical and what isn't.

It sort of goes without saying, though, that he's pleased with it in some way - because someone who was in an occupation like that surely can't be completely terrible, despite all the other memories he has indicating that he probably deserves hell rather than reincarnation, if that's truly what this is.]

It sounds like a nice thing to remember after the other things you've told me!

[And the things you haven't told him, which are still bugging him, but he's not going to press.]

Don't tell me you have any interest in police work now, though...?

[He's clearly teasing.]

Absolutely none.

[Oh, come on...]

I don't remember much of the actual work that I was doing with it, which is...odd, but it seems that whomever created these memories I'm recalling didn't stay with one occupation all his life, either.

Then there's still time for you to join the force!

[He laughs once that's out there and leans back a little in his chair.]

It really is good that you've remembered something that isn't terrible. I suppose I was a little bit worried about you!

[he was Very Worried]

Has it really been that concerning...?

[...It has absolutely been that concerning.]

Well, yes, it has been. You've received memories that are far worse than mine, ja? As far as I know I haven't killed anyone!

[It's not nearly as light as it could be, but it's not totally serious either. He's not really sure whether to be serious or not and it shows.]

Thankfully, outside of the murder, most of them have just been aggressively surreal.

That's good! Well, not good, but it's better than it could be.

[he's trying, okay.]

...I watched a few people with handguns take down a giant plant creature once...?

[...yeah.]

[what do you even say to something like that.]

I'm not exactly jealous, but I sincerely wish I had some memories nearly as interesting as that.

As I've said, not so much terrible as aggressively surreal.

[Anyway.]

...I wouldn't necessarily say that mine are worse or more deserving of concern, however, given that one you've told me about.

[You know, the one where you woke up after you fucking died.]

...The less I think about that one, the better, honestly!

[...]

But it's the only one I've received like that. Everything else has been either odd or... mildly upsetting, I suppose? Maybe I just need to stop discussing memories with Elda.

[SERIOUSLY SHE'S UPSET HIM TWICE OVER MEMORIES, THAT'S TOO MANY TIMES]

...That might be a good idea.

[He tries very, very hard to not discuss his memories with Elda.]

Mine don't tend to upset me, which is perhaps saying more about me than I care to think about.

You've also been trying to put a lot of distance between yourself and them though, ja? Maybe that's it.

[He knows Wesker's a little Weird but he's trying to give him the benefit of the doubt here.]

Something like that.

[He's quiet for a moment, though.]

The memories simply don't seem upsetting at the time, however. Emotions do come with them once in a while, but I don't ever seem to register being upset or afraid, regardless of what's happening.

The lack of fear is a good thing, I think. The lack of response overall is...strange.

Ja, it certainly sounds that way. I can't imagine a memory that doesn't have some sort of attachment to it.

You're probably right about the lack of fear, though. Fear's the worst.
