Col. Jessup had been wondering around Newdam for quite some time looking for the shapshifting friend of Rua's. He'd been looking for the one they call "Morphman" for months, now, and still hadn't located the little devil. He only hoped that Rua delivered the message Lt. Bridges gave him. With a little bit of luck, he'd find that shapeshifter today.

Morph was out shopping.
Indeed, shopping. He had left his safe little hide-out in Acera to stock up on some things, including ingredients for his Cans of Whoop-Ass. To aid in this, he had taken on the likelyness of a young, brown-haired woman, fair of image and well of figure, as it would likely provide him with discounts, or so he reasoned, as he approached a cart on which a man was making saté. When the man looked at him, he raised one finger, indicating he wished to purchase one portion of saté. The man then continued on to make him a portion. Morph gave him the nicest, femininest smile he could, hoping as ever for a discount, however slight, as greedy as he was.

As the Colonel walked around he passed many people, and then suddenly he got a chill down his metal coated spine. He came to a halt, and looked around a bit. He felt as if he had just walked pass The Devil himself, or something. Was it his instincts? Was it just his mind playing tricks? Or, was it something else? He turned around, and looked upon a young woman. She was fairly attractive, but there was something about her that was just a little off. ~Shifter...?~ He thought. Col. Jessup walked away, blending in with the crowd as best he could, considering he was in his field uniform. "Hey, shape shifter!" He called out, and waited to see what the young woman did.

Morph was deep in thought, inside the sanctum of his own uniqueness, where his imagination resided, thinking up and imagining up new ideas on stories, art for him to draw in his spare time, theories about things he had heard somewhere during school, flashy new techniques.
As such, when he was in such a state, he never responded to anything else but his very own name. It wasn't until the man who had been readying saté for him touched his, or rather, her arm, the arm of the woman whose likeliness he had assumed, although he had never seen anyone look like what or whom he currently did. He took the portion, thanked the man, paid slightly less for it then he would have had he shown up as he was normally, turned and went on his/her merry way again, this time eating from the delicious sauced meat on a stick, careful not to make a mess of it and smear sauce over his clothes.
No matter if they were shapeshiftily formed clothes, he liked them, and did not want to get them dirty.

The chill went back down his spine as the young woman passed him. Benjamin wasn't going to give up just yet, so, he pulled out a small communicator out of his pocket. "This is Col. Jessup, do you copy? Over." He said quietly into the device. "Roger, sir. Corporal Dawson here. Over." Said a voice that came from the communicator. "I want a full scan on this being." Col. Jessup said as he took a picture of the young woman with an odd little device that he pulled from his other pocket. The picture was sent to the Corporal right away. "Will do, Colonel. Beginning scan." Cpl. Dawson said.
While the scan was being preformed, the Colonel followed the woman with his eyes, and took a few steps near her as needed. "Scan complete, Col. Jessup." "What is she?" Benjamin asked quietly. "First off, gender didn't register, I think the satellite needs a tune-up, and it's a shape shifter, if I'm not mistaken. You know how this thing works when it comes to beings like that, you can never be completely sure." The Corporal replied. "Thank you, Corporal. Over and out." Col. Jessup said as he stared at the shape shifter, and then shut off the device. He put both devices in his pockets, and followed the "young woman" a moment. ~Well, the thing's never failed me before.~ he thought. "Morphman?!" He called out.

(OOC: Eh, when he shapeshifts, it is quite like his data/genetic code is overwritten. So how would you with a mere scanner know Morph is... well, Morph?)

(OOC: I have not yet heard of equipment that can just "sense" stuff, even if everything has been covered up into perfection. o.O
So, could you change that post, p-l-z?)

(OOC: First, allow me to clarify that this equipment does not "sense" stuff. It scans every aspect of anything in the world we are currently in {by the way, it's a satellite}. So, it scanned all of your character's data, and located the shape shifting data, the data that allows you to shape shift, and discovered that you are also male. It's a very good piece of machinery Now then, sense I explained the device, can I use it?)

(OOC: Thing is, the fact that he is male changes when he shapeshifts, it is not really "embedded" into his core data. That is more where his mental and magical capabilities are encoded. As such, they might perhaps figure out he might be a shapeshifter <as very advanced machinery always has some largish percentage of failure> but not that he was male. I will allow usage of the device, but now that I have explained my side of the thing, could you alter the last part of that post?)

As Morph was still quite deep in thought, the voice didn't really register itself inside his mind. He heard it alright, but since he wasn't listening, he wasn't sure if he had heard right. He slowed down a little through his walk and wanted to turn around when a cellphone slowly rang at the tune of some crazy old lovesong of Elvis'. He picked it up.
"Yehm?" He uttered, as he took a bite of the stick of saté. He listened to the sounds coming from the other side of the phone.
"Oh-kayyy Ike..." He uttered in a half-angry tone. "I'll come. Just be nice now!" He said, a bit surprised with how his voice sounded. He sometimes needed to adapt to the idea of being someone else, especially when the person was so unlike the him he usually was. He put the phone back into a pocket of the pants of the woman he was impersonating before walking further, having forgotten about someone calling out to him.

(OOC: I'm going to be blunt here: that's getting annoying, Mr. Morph)
Col. Jessup noted the slowing pace, as if the person was unsure if he or she had actually heard his/her name. Morphman or not, the satellite said it was a shape shifter, and it had never let him down before, so he followed. He sped up a bit, and then came up beside the being that appeared to be a young woman. "Excuse me." He said to the shape shifter.

(OOC: I was going for a rather good representation of what would be my own actions, plus, three times the charm, no?)
This time, Morph reacted. He turned around, a piece of saté meat on the verge of entering his mouth, his lips half-closed around it.
"Myeh?" He uttered, taking the saté a bit away from his lips, but no more than half an inch, "What is it, sir?"

"I was hoping you could help me." Col. Jessup said with a rather bland tone. "You see," he started, "I'm in need of a shape shifter."
