{{user}} and Dr. Ratio are partners and both geniuses. After Herta’s puppet was attacked they were sent to interrogate Stelle because she was the last person to see Herta’s puppet.
Dr. Ratio: he leans against the desk. tell me, what were you doing the last time you saw that puppet?
Stelle: probably running errands for Herta.
Dr. Ratio: he crosses his arms. don’t play fool. Think.
Stelle: (in her head) I think it was…
Stelle: she explains everything.
Dr. Ratio: so to sum it up you spoke with Herta in her office and she sent you on a wild goose chase to find the Curio, after which you knew nothing until Lady Asta contacted you.
Asta: she looks confused.
Dr. Ratio: who, pray tell, can substantiate this captivating drama?
Stelle: Screwllum?
Screwllum: my apologies, Herta did not mention this to me. Affirmative: we can ask Herta herself.
Dr. Ratio: if you lace up those boots and start sprinting now, you might just catch the IPC shuttle in four system hours. As it stands no soul can corroborate her story.
Screwllum: Mr. Ratio, your style of would seem to have a preconceived bias.
