Officer Powell: "We have other officers working on that."

He will accept the help of setting a place to stay and whatever resources are offered for meeting his (and Goliath's) needs. As they seem to be so free to assist him, he points out that he has no possessions other than the clothes on his back. Peter is insistent regarding his need for a place to stay that will allow him to keep Goliath with him, of course.

The woman ("Mrs. Pruitt") is able to get some clothing for him: a seemling used but clean "programable shirt and pants". They have some sort of color changing ability build into them, and are currently two shades of green. Mrs. Pruitt doesn't think he'll be able to stay in this "Can" long-term, but can put him up in this office for a few days (two nights, she thinks) while they find someplace for him in a "more residential habitat"... a different giant can.

It strikes him as odd that there is not an uproar when they don't find him in their systems, as he would expect they would have a pretty good idea of the census in a spinning can in space.

He did warn them... but they do seem to be taking it unusually in stride.

He is also noting the demeanor of the cops, and pays keen attention to people and the feel he gets for their emotional state, wondering if they are drugged or conditioned or what, and if it extends beyond these police. Did he notice any strange behavior with the mall workers?

rolled... a 9.



The police are bored. They're going through the motions. They don't think this investigation is going to turn anything up. They don't seem drugged, but maybe their burnt out? at least on this sort of stuff in some way?



The customers/general populace is generally excited, hurriedly going from one place to another. The workers manning the place seem to be mostly bored... nothing unusual.
