The facility doesn't look like much from the air but that's because most of it is underground. A couple of Keepers in scrubs (flanked by a kind of concerning number of armed Security) take the patient away.

Another Keeper meets the medical team as they disembark the helicopter and explains that they should proceed to the civilian quarantine facility, which is [this way], and someone will be by soon to debrief them. Well. As soon as they, themselves, have a slightly better idea what's going on. No one is believed to be in any immediate danger, they aren't known to have been exposed to any alien diseases or anything, but they do have to be maximally cautious about these sorts of things.

... Merrin, in particular, has now been awake for a kind of implausible number of hours and should probably get some rest before her debrief?

He very much regrets to inform them that they will not be allowed to leave at least until the Keepers have at least a better idea of what the hazards here actually are. He wishes they could have been given the opportunity to recuse themselves but that's not the way the situation happened. The facility is able to meet pretty much any reasonable request they might have and they'll obviously be generously compensated for the inconvenience, as well as for their service today in keeping the patient stable. (Normally there would be numbers attached to this but this Keeper has, in fact, read Merrin's file.)

Yeah it's coming up on like 22 hours now. Merrin is simultaneously utterly exhausted and also still really wired on stimulants! She...is probably not super up for debriefing right now, no, but she also isn't actually going to fall asleep until she's had longer to convince her brain that the emergency is, in fact, over. 

(She is not going to think about being quarantined here and not even being able to tell her MOM until her brain is working slightly better in general.) 

....Also, as usual after an intense rescue, she is finding herself kind of upset about handing over the patient to another team. Obviously there are lots of reasons why she shouldn't herself be in the room, and she knows she shouldn't deliberately seek out more information on a grade-six infohazard situation, but - given how she was already exposed to the patient - would she be allowed to watch the treatment from her room? 

So, he can probably just go ahead and tell her this because she's surely seen enough evidence to deduce it for herself, but the problem is that the patient has almost completely unknown alternatephysics abilities and is not thought to be particularly aligned with Civilization's values. (This second part is in fact a massive euphemism; telling a healthcare worker that their patient is a true-murderer is considered a mild personal-scale infohazard of its own.)

Oh, and there's also rapidly accumulating evidence for her being PASSIVELY MIND-AFFECTING EVEN WHILE UNCONSCIOUS.

So, basically, no. They'll keep her updated, if she really wants to be (shit Merrin has probably been ensnared by the patient's ero!witch powers), but in a low-bandwidth way that probably doesn't allow Merrin to be mind-controlled at three degrees of separation.

....Aww, okay, fair enough. 

(Merrin is not picking up on the ero!witch subtext, and they aren't explicitly telling her about that specific expected mind-control.) 

Merrin would like to hear, via whatever number of degrees of separation they think is necessary, if the patient substantially deteriorates. If she stays in her current state of 'surprisingly stable and even-more-surprisingly slowly improving', they don't have to interrupt Merrin with that information. 

And then she will go to whatever room they're providing her with and, for lack of anything else to do, take a really long hot bath before she attempts sleep. 

Meanwhiler and elsewherer, in an even more secret underground installation than the one Merrin is currently in, Athpechya's precautious-sedation protocol gets overridden only a few minutes after it actually takes effect. When she wakes up she'll see Therril, the Basement's point person on Containment, who is apparently literally immune to all forms of talk-control yet invented by dath ilan and is frankly kind of scary, even to lesser Keepers.

She does not literally have a higher Will save modifier than the archdevil Dispater, but a negotiation between the two of them would, in fact, come down to the throw of the dice.

[The first part of the conversation that follows is neither writable nor interpretable by Meta-Reality, but the gist is that Athpechya's values have not been corrupted by contact with the Unknown. If anything they've actually become more aligned with Civilization's.]

"So the part that the system doesn't have an option for is that I made an agreement with one of the 'gods' who looked acceptably aligned and now have magic powers as a result."

"I assume you had a very good reason why that couldn't have waited for review."

"If I hadn't I'd now be in their infinite torture dimension because that is apparently how they do ' ' 'corrigibility' ' ' over there. Also, the goddess in question swore an Oath not to act in dath ilan until Her alignment verification had been approved by someone authorized."

"I'm authorized but first I would like someone to think for a while about the possible consequences of ever having any causal interaction with that literal flaming s-risk of a universe again—there was some debate about whether the sheer number of Exceptions you keyed in was a software malfunction."

"No, Golarion is just in fact that bad."

In that case, after a more thorough debrief of Athpechya, Therril will convene a brainstorming session on the risks of sending an intelligence-gathering party to Golarion.

Actually, urgent message: can she possibly come to the other side of the planet ASAP to help interrogate the other hostile anomaly with possible mind-control powers?

No, because there may in fact be EVEN BIGGER PROBLEMS over here. (Related problems; she isn't throwing another Exception.) They can have dath ilan's second-best talk-control-resister, though.

When Abrogail comes to, she's surrounded by a dozen armed Security, and beyond them, three Keepers.

She's not, actually, going to try to fight her way out of this.

"Can you understand me?" asks one of the Keepers.

"Yes. What the Abyss do you people want?"

She attempts a Silent Still Detect Thoughts on the Keeper speaking to her.

He has a divination-blocking helmet and also a Will save modifier of 'lol you tried'.

"To begin with we'd like to know why you murdered nine Security officers, including one in a way that prevents us from recovering his brain-soul."

"They were in my way. Was the Disintegrate a problem? I don't know how your souls work around here, but from my perspective that's just a more expensive Resurrection."

Yeah, uh. Tell us more about the whole 'Resurrection' and 'afterlives' thing. That's something Civilization values sufficiently that we might be willing to overlook the fact that you're evil about it.

And don't bullshit us about Hell. We've heard what it's like.

"I can't do Resurrections myself, that's a cleric spell.

"Hell's legitimately not that bad. I've been there myself."

(Why is Lawful Good like this even in OTHER UNIVERSES.)

Meanwhile, in a metaphorical group chat consisting of high-level Keepers modeling each other based on facial microexpressions:

[She genuinely believes the second thing.]

[We'll check it out but I think she's just insane.]

Oh, yeah, tell us about your AGREEMENT WITH AN UNALIGNED ANTI-ALIGNED SUPERINTELLIGENCE because if you don't see why that's super concerning you're possibly too stupid to live in Civilization even if you weren't evil.
