There was nothing to do in the infirmary, that was a given, it hadn't really been designed with in-built entertainment for Sun hunters. Not a single colouring book in sight. So Rep found himself - after twisting himself up enough to get hand mobility without agitating his shoulder injuries - resorting to his phone. Typing things was slow and laborious, but everything in this place was slow and laborious.
It occurred to him while nursing a glass of room temperature water that he hadn't checked up on the progress Mark had made, determined not to get scammed by the Death assistant. 500 dollars was a lot of uneaten confectionery and he couldn't simply let it slide.
Text Recipient : Mark Message: Yo nerdmaster, did you manage to dig up any info for me? Or should I have asked a Life nerd instead?

If you do have money and stuff you gotta enter the secret password:

Rep facepalmed, or would have had the gesture not been excruciatingly painful at the moment. The urge to type "not very" was almost overwhelming but, you had to use honey to catch a nerd or however that saying went. It was the most begrudged thing he'd written in a while.
Text Very ******** awesome. The awesomeest.

Upon answering the first box, there was a ping as another text box popped up, with a scrolldown, and a series of questions. Text from Mark YOU HAVE PASSED MY FIRST TEST, YOUN PADAWAN, but now the true trial begins! Answer all these questions correctly and the fountain of knowledge will await you at the end! 1) On a scale of 1-10, 10 being most awesome, how awesome am I? 2) On a scale of 1-10, 10 being most ruggedly handsome, how ruggedly handsome am I? 3) On a scale of 1-10, 10 being a Master Jedi, how much of an awesome Master Jedi am I? 4) On a scale of 1-10, 10 being very likely, how likely am I to win this year's Most Eligible Bachelor Award? 5) On a scale of 1-10, 10 being a brilliant genius, how much of a brilliant genius am I?

Rep sighed and rubbed his temples. This was a hundred times harder than handing over money. Ruggedly handsome and eligible bachelor. He could hardly keep a straight face. OH WELL.
Text 1. 10 2. 10 3. 10 4. 10 5. 10
If it got out, he'd never live it down

Rep had half dozed off, his increased painkillers at least doing that much for him, when his phone - ready to slip out of his grip - buzzed with a received message. He raised an eyebrow at the string of texts that followed only to laugh raucously till his sides ached at the repeating movie of Dwight. That alone would have been worth the five hundred dollars and he wasn't even going to pretend otherwise.
However the follow up texts were what really surprised him. Extra info?
He looked over the list and his eyes went wide as he slowly processed exactly what he was looking at. Genetics program. He remembered a few people finding fragments of something to do with that, back when everyone was cooped up in the bunkers. It had come up again since now and then, mostly as some kind of high clearance s**t going on behind the scenes. He hadn't really believed it, just assumed it was some sort of red herring, something mis-read somewhere. But no, it looked like even Mark had managed to get hold of some interesting s**t along the way regarding it from the official files. He hadn't been sure what to expect from his request but it wasn't this. He scanned down the list one name at a time, Jerry and Simon? Had to be distant, Jerry was about the single most disorganised person he knew. Then again there was probably one in every family. Gale and Lance? That was almost funny in an entirely politically incorrect way. They were probably about the same height. Technically. He almost read over Harrison's name, so used to thinking of him as simply Ace, forgetting he actually had a proper name that hadn't been foisted on him by Rep. But he backread when he spotted Aria's name. Surely that couldn't be right he thought grimly, related to the lead b***h of the b***h division yet so damn manly. New guy he recognised from twitter and almost skimmed the relative until he twigged who exactly "Henry, Dr" referred to. Had he been drinking he would have done a spit-take at him having bred at all, the only thing that made sense was that the resultant kid was yet another schmoozer. Candace and Edith he wasn't sure what to make of, Candace herself was in his opinion superficial and aggravating, he hadn't gotten a chance to speak with the moon lead though. He found himself wondering if she was similar.
Scrolling down his own name on the list made him stop in his tracks. Allan. THE Allan? He stared. And then stared some more, trying to deal with what this meant. A relative. A living relative. Someone who wasn't a junkie and a dead end. He'd always wondered about the family he didn't know, the father who had ******** off long before he was born. Was this his answer? That it traced back to Deus, that he was part of something? It was a fledgling sort of hope, all his life he'd considered himself a mistake, just an accident dropped on the world, tied to nothing and no one, outside society, outside families and everything associated. To be part of a chain of people, to have blood shared in some way with another person, was frankly staggering to Rep. Was that why he was here? Had it been planned in some way rather than just fate taking pity on the guy who owed nothing to anyone? It raised as many questions as it answered. But there was hope in this little list, and hope, no matter how small it was - was worth more money than he'd paid for it.
He read on in a daze, laughing at the tie between Clerise and Cael - about the only thing those two shared was their feistiness. And Melvin. Hah even Melvin was related to Julie. It was too much to take in, and almost staggering to even begin to believe. It couldn't be right could it? What did Mark even stand to gain from making this stuff up if he had?
He mulled it over for a while, staring at the strip lighting overhead. In the end he was faced simply with having to believe it - wanting to believe it in his own case. He'd need to tell the people on the list about what it said, he owed it to them.
First off he decided it was only right to text Dwight.
Text The day you have s**t that's of use to me is the day you get flattery. Till then, suck it up and stop crying.
Followed up by a much politer text to Mark.
Text Thanks dude, really interesting s**t on here. More than I expected.

After a bit of deliberation, and his discussion with Otto, Rep decided to finally share the information he had with everyone it concerned. He took some time splitting the information into who it was relevant to, and finally sent it out. Let other people verify it's validity for him. It sounded like a good plan.
((Everyone would get just their own relevant information from the text attachment.))

Text from Candace There are multiple reasons why I question the legitimacy of this information. One, it's coming from you. Two, everyone knows the people in power are trolls. A few minutes later Rep would receive another text.

Text from Rep I don't have any way to prove it's real. I got it from Mark, for good ******** money. Part of a list. A proper legit list. If you don't want to believe it, I can't make you. And if I wanted to wind you up I'd do better than some info.

Text from Candace You're taking information from MARK?! AHAHA! Oh god now I KNOW it isn't real! I hope you can get a refund, man. Rep would never know he hooked Candace's curiosity like a fish to a lure. Nope. Never.
