"All the evidence seems to point to such, or the other nations' faulty government operations would not be in such a sorry state of ineptitude with these creatures." His eyes narrowed. "This is much more practical. A much better drug than the primal Amabarbital. I apologize in advance. I know these things tend to slow one down for some time." He tapped a metal digit along Kristoff's arm, then carefully injected. He was at least steady, so it would leave little bruising. He tossed the empty syringe to the table.
"Now if you will, Kristoff." He motioned for him to lay in the scanner, looked to Maxine and sighed a bit, realizing he should explain. "Skrulls can apparently copy a person down to their very neuropaths--all they have learned, all the memories and cognitive processes. Even, yes, down to the miniscule cell structures which can fool a simple blood test. However, copying down to that extent means that one should be more vulnerable to exactly the same chemical effects of a human. Thus, inject them with an inhibitor, and make sure that inhibitor affects them exactly as you know it should and that they are not falsifying their answers. Simple, really."
