Who: Kurt and YOU
What: A reprogrammed Kurt does the government's bidding, looking at captured metas and doing spy work
When: During the event
Where: Around the city and the lab Kurt works in
Warnings: Sample gathering, but nothing too invasive at the moment


Experiments
Seeing as Kurt did this sort of thing back in his reality, the government decided to put him in charge of studying the metas that get captured. Mostly this means gathering tissue samples or running experiments on them, such as reflex testing.

Kurt doesn't need to tell anybody brought in that they're special, because the metas don't go for that like the human abductees do.

His boss tells him that another meta's been brought in, and has been restrained in the lab. Guess it's time to do his thing. Kurt enters the lab and hovers over the test subject, strapped to the cold exam table.

"Hey, buddy. Don't get weird."

Field Work
When Kurt's not examining the government's prisoners, he's being sent out to spy on the civilians and metas. Even though Kurt's not a very good spy and his fellow Reptilian no doubt thinks their bosses are making a mistake by letting Kurt do field work.

Wearing his human disguise, Kurt makes his way to a cafe to order himself a mocha and keep his eyes and ears open for anything suspicious, or that sounds like rebel talk.

i'm sorry for his inner monologue. he's a judgemental douche

Perhaps Archer shouldn't have been, but he was critiquing this man's approach. If it was him and he was trying to get someone to a location they clearly weren't familiar with he would have talked it up more. The way Kurt put it, well, it all sounded so mundane. If he really had been a tourist, well, he would be quite disappointed even before they would arrive.

"I see. It's a shame there aren't so many philanthropic sorts in this day and age. Before I came to America it was quite common to see large parks at regular intervals in cities." He makes himself sound as though he's nostalgic. "They are far less common where I live now."

"So where do you come from, then?" Earth geography isn't Kurt's strong suit, and it mostly amounts to him having glanced at a map of the Earth once. But if you asked him to pinpoint a country without looking at a map, he'd have to admit defeat.

It should be weird that Kurt gave away that he doesn't actually know a lot about Earth landmarks, but for some reason it just doesn't occur to him that he said more than he should have.

"From Japan," he says with a smile. "The Johto region, to be precise. It is a lovely place. And yourself?"

Where he was from was easy - while some things were different in this world, much of the geography was in many ways similar. Perhaps he would have been in a far less beneficial position had he come from outside Japan, as several regions appeared to have completely different names and some locations were seemingly scrambled in comparison.

"I'm not from anywhere you might have heard of," It's technically the truth, since Kurt's from another planet that not many humans would have heard of. But he makes it sound like he's from some backwater town that you wouldn't even find on a GPS, it's so obscure.

He chuckles lightly. "That's fair enough. I must unfortunately admit that I am ignorant of many places in America, not the least of which being those that even the native population would have difficulties pointing out on a map." He spares a few casual glances to the area around them, making it look as if he's simply admiring the scenery. "Does this area get much in the way of foot traffic?"
