Right, so, I don't know how to say what I want, and none of the votes so far really cover it. What Sirrocco has posted looks almost exactly like what I want, but isn't posted as a vote. Given that I seem to remember him being good at writing votes, and I'm worried I'll miss the deadline because I don't check often, I'll just vote for him. This should also work if he ends up voting for Earthscorpion, as has happened a great deal.

Heh. No pressure or anything.
Admittedly, mostly my strategy in this quest has been reduced to to "present reasonably convincing arguments, with which to hopefully influence the unstoppable write-in force which is Earthscorpion" but I'll see what I can do to tune my plan into something resembling a viable vote. Now if you'll excuse me for a bit, I'll be going deep-archive on the known facts on INVISIBLE BEAR.
EDIT:
[x] "Scott-free? Following the events you describe, I was enrolled in INVISIBLE BEAR - a program of pharmaceutical enhancement and heavy psychological reconditioning. My superiors considered it an appropriate response to my actions, and having it done left me in a position where I could once again contribute usefully to the cause."
[x] "Still, you are correct. Your being left here for this long was regrettable and, I believe, unintentional. The technocracy as a whole suffered a class 4 catastrophic event in the late 90s, and we lost track of many of these mothballed projects."
[x] "I'm here because my amalgam recently uncovered evidence of a number of projects like yours, and I've been tasked with investigating some of them for reactivation. I understand that you are angry - you have reason to be, and I apologize if our history makes this difficult for you. I could try to get you reassigned to another investigator if you prefer, but it would be likely to cause delays. If you do not wish another investigator, than any assistance you could offer would be most appreciated, and would help me to expedite the process."
[x] If at any point she is wanting/willing to vent, then by all means let (and help) her vent. Remain standard-issue "professional but sympathetic" throughout.
[x] use Mind 1 for self-augmentation, but don't apply any effects directly.
[x] Complements, asking about her current situation, and/or scheduling follow-up appointments will depend on how she reacts to this. The sort of assistance we'd be asking for are things like the ability to tour the facility, possibly interview some of the employees, maybe look through their files. Obviously, we're intending to investigate them *anyway* (otherwise we wouldn't have come in pretending to be a prospective hire) but help makes this all faster.
Should get across more or less what we're looking for, and it doesn't even require suppressing Chameleon, as we're presenting ourselves as significantly more conditioned than we currently are, in order to both get her into the proper bureaucratic mindset (after she vents), have her see us less as "this person who screwed me over" and more as "semi-faceless minion of the technocracy" and help sell her on the idea that we *didn't* get off scott-free.
That's what I got, anyway. I don't doubt that some of the long-form vote-writers could do it better.
