Eliot pushed a folder at the former inquisitor. "Go through the files here. I want your unique and authoritative opinion on each one. First one you'll recognize. you've hunted him and he showed you the path forward. And after you've assessed them there is a questionnaire at the end I'd like you to answer."
Jer was about to open the folder when Eliot put his hand down on top of it. "Not here. In your down time. Take your time. We aren't in a rush. But I do have something I want to talk to you about. Hunter to hunter. We were both one once, right?"
Jer nodded. It had been years since he hunted anyone that was not already Atharim.
Eliot procured another file and placed it on top of the other one. This one was much thinner. "This is a new anomaly. He leveled several empty warehouses taking out what we can only assume were some thugs who attacked him. Two hunters have attempted to take him out, the first dying much the same way as his sparking event, and the second is in the infirmary as we speak nursing 3rd degree burns all over their body. As a hunter, what would you do?"
This was a test. A test every single person he talked to would be asked. They'd be given the same information and he'd access their reactions. There were of course no right or wrong answers, but he needed a base line.
