-teleports back in, Kabal in tow-
... What has happened to him?
He took a beating from Shinnok. And we're wondering whether you can remind him who he is.
... I'll Try. -walks up to Stryker- You were the best cop we've ever known, you were a badass, you put fictional cop heroes to shame. And you were a Loyal friend. You and I used to make jokes about Cage's movies... Do you remember the invasion?
-started out smiling, then turned grim when the invasion was mentioned- This is not happening
No, no stop remembering, uh... Do you remember the good times, like when we busted that drug gang? Together.
-started smiling again-
Ok, I think that maybe mentioning the Invasion was a bad course of action.
"You'd never do something as irrational as dying."-slaps head- He wanted to retire from fighting after this. Mentioning his career as a cop won't help. Though he'll go back to it. He isn't prideful in it.
Damn, he was always too humble about how it's just his Job.
We need someone else... -scans Stryker's mind- Perhaps we need to find this Rosarita that's cropped up in his mind. She can talk to him perhaps
Rosarita? Wasn't she the one who fought Revy? How does Stryker know her?
Hmm... I'm not sure whether I like this idea.
"You'd never do something as irrational as dying."
