"There's no statute of limitations on most of Juni's crimes. It should be easy enough to put her behind bars for at least 25 years in 2017... unfortunately, this seems to mean Arcanine, Spira and I will be trapped in 2017. It's better than being dead or captive, though."

"If the Scimitars connections can get them out of jail, it will be during the trial stage. Once someone is actually in prison, security is very tight. I also don't think she'll be granted bail - it'll seem like she was in hiding for three years, so it's like she poses a flight risk. Her trial will likely take two months, and she'll be held for all of that. You can help the League and I gather airtight evidence in that time, if you like. Having clear insight into 2014 will be a wonderful resource for us."

Thrawn asks a few questions about time travel. He's fairly insightful about it.

"I don't know if she has enough information to cause a paradox. It's possible she could set a trap for you if she knows what year you're from. Does she? As I understand it, a paradox is not resolved until it's observed, so if she set up something that no one observes until 2017, her actions would retain their effect."

"Anyway, bringing her in is the right thing to do, and I think it will be successful. Especially if you work with me."

"...probably a lot better than the alternatives, yes.  I'm honestly not entirely sure why Spira's with us, though.  I certainly didn't have any control over that at the time.  I'm not sure how exactly he fits into Celebi's plan yet..."

Nathan nods when asked if he'd like to help.  "We'll still be traveling since we have important business to attend to, but I have no problems with helping make sure she stays behind bars.  Juni mentioned that her superiors will attempt to silence her, though.  Her gauntlet not exploding while it's attached to her arm is a good first step to preventing that, but they probably have other methods as well if I had to guess.  It'd be preferable if the gauntlet didn't explode at all, to be honest, but unless we can figure out how to disarm that explosive without it blowing up in our faces..."  *shrug*

"I've not told her what time period we're currently in, nor have I told her what exact year me and the rest of the group are from.  Well, years, I suppose.  I'm not sure if she knows Marco's my dad, but I'd be very surprised if she hasn't by now.  She certainly knew more than the grunt we questioned in 2014, at least.  I'm not sure how much she might know about history, but I'm also not sure it's worth risking."

Nathan clears his throat.

"...so, uh...sorry you got involved in all of this, Detective...this isn't exactly what I think either of us were expecting to find when we heard about hooded figures assaulting someone at the Ruins...it was...really hard trying not to say the victim was my dad...he, uh...he's been missing ever since 2014, and I hadn't heard of any leads about where he might have gone for the last 3 years, so...I mean, it's better to know now where he vanished and that it was because he was on a secret mission that we probably shouldn't talk about much, but...*sigh*..."

While he's still pretty angry at Juni and won't be taking it easy on her at all, Nathan's trying really hard to not let that anger cloud his better judgement.  Hopefully.

(In case it wasn't clear, Nathan's in favor of turning Juni in to the authorities to hopefully put her behind bars.)

"It seems clear the lack of leads is due to suppression on the part of the Scimitars. By jumping forward to 2017 I think we can catch them by surprise! I'm sure they won't be expecting a half-dozen eyewitnesses to pop up!"
