LU 156 - Dr. Thornberry 40

I ran into the AE, only going to pass through to get to the lab. But I was stopped in my tracks again when I saw a new face. Putting on my most kingly smile, (yes since we’re an Empire, I’m a king now!) and greeted him. He introduced himself as Stanley and said he was a mechanic. Interesting, someone who makes things. Space also found us, and we all had a friendly chat for a few minutes. I told Stanley to make sure to let me know when he finished his store and left with Space.
We immediately made our way to Shroom’s cell, since I did say I would be checking on them everyday. We had a stupid argument about each other’s morals and ideas. I kept whispering with Space throughout this conversation because I was bored, and he congratulated me on my capture again. Wow, he’s been complimenting me a lot lately. I couldn’t help but smile. 
After a while, we left, hearing Shroom yelling at us through the doors. I just had to laugh, seeing them like that felt wonderful. 
Space insisted that we go to the Verdure to meet some person Shroom kept mentioning, but I told him I had to go check on Hallthorr since the kid locked himself in the lab. He reluctantly came with me, but left shortly after telling me to catch up to him. I told him to stay safe, and went back to Hallthorr.
When I first opened the cell, it was no memory man, and I tried to explain that I didn’t do this when they switched. Memory Hallthorr told me that he wanted to stay, and that there was no option to retrieve his memories than to either get experimented on or to stay in the lab. As much as I didn’t want either of these options, I let him stay. I gave him the key to all the doors and wrote a quick page in his book before he switched again.
’Hey Hallthorr, this was your decision to stay here. I gave you a key to everything and you can come home whenever you need to. Please stay safe, I love you. -Vice Thornberry’
I threw the book for him to catch, took one last look at him, and ran to the Verdure to find Space. But finding him wasn’t as hard as I had thought. He was speaking to some woman, who apparently was Shroom’s mother. Which was obvious, they both had the same horrible personality and attitude. 
I tried to fight her, but Space held me back, fighting her was not a good idea. He instead told me to go find Shroom’s stasis, which I ran off to do.
After looking and looking, I couldn’t find it, but finally I saw it with Space when it was too late; Shroom’s mother had already gone down. We prepared for a fight, but we lost the two of them.
Space and I were done. Trying to find convicts was damn annoying, so we both just headed back to the office.
