Next is Alaski Illion, daughter of the wealthy Maximillion Illion. She went to Noire Corp. to learn the value of a dollar, but is there more to her than even she knows? The conspiracy theory is growing!\nAlaski Illion © Me","content":"Alaski opens the door to the interview room and closes it all without taking her eyes off her phone.\u0026nbsp; She sits down in the chair, not showing any care for the damage to the table.\u0026nbsp; The interviewer snatches her phone out of her hands.\u0026nbsp; \"Hey, that's my personal property.\"\n\n\"And you'll get this back once we're done.\"\u0026nbsp; The canid stuffs the phone in his coat pocket where the recorder was originally kept.\u0026nbsp; He takes out a pen and his notepad and flips through three-fourths of the handheld notepad.\u0026nbsp; \"Your full name and occupation.\"\n\n\"Alaski Illion, I guess I'm a secretary for Noire Corp.\"\n\n\"You guess?\"\n\n\"Well, when the scientists kind of got killed when the old building exploded, Ishika started to train me to become a scientist.\"\n\n\"Have you had an interest in science?\"\n\n\"Not really,\" Alaski twirls her red bangs with her finger.\u0026nbsp; \"But they are kind of short-staffed and what they do isn't real science.\"\n\n\"Then what is it?\"\n\nAlaski shrugs.\u0026nbsp; \"I dunno.\u0026nbsp; As I said, I'm a secretary; I don't get that level of clearance.\"\n\n\"But Wulf and Aren do?\"\n\n\"Aren's a guinea pig; he's kind of forced to know these things.\u0026nbsp; Wulf's a security guard.\u0026nbsp; He needs to know what doesn't get leaked.\u0026nbsp; I'm a civilian.\"\n\nThe interviewer writes Alaski's opinions down.\u0026nbsp; \"Not just any civilian, your Maximillion Illion's daughter, a wealthy business owner that has a stake in Noire Corp.\u0026nbsp; How did his daughter end up here?\"\n\n\"Something about learning the value of a dollar.\u0026nbsp; He wanted me to earn my own money instead of spending his.\"\n\n\"What sent him over the edge?\"\n\n\"I bought an island that turned out to be a small country.\"\u0026nbsp; Alaski blows her hair out of her face.\u0026nbsp; \"After that big stunt, he sent me here to work.\u0026nbsp; I guess that was about a year ago.\"\u0026nbsp; The husky canid pulls out the ponytail holding her red hair together.\u0026nbsp; She straightens her hair out and puts it back in.\n\nThe interviewer looks at her with his mouth agape.\u0026nbsp; She truly doesn't understand her value and has no control over how to spend her father's money.\u0026nbsp; \"Let's talk about you, shall we?\"\n\nAlaski finishes putting her hair up, flicking the ponytail behind her.\u0026nbsp; \"Okay, but I can't guarantee I can answer everything.\"\n\n\"And why's that?\"\n\n\"Most of my earlier memories are gone.\u0026nbsp; I can't remember anything past twelve years ago\"\n\n\"Interesting.\u0026nbsp; Do you know what happened around that time?\"\n\n\"I don't.\"\n\n\"Let me tell you then.\"\u0026nbsp; The interviewer flips through his notepad regarding questions and notes about Alaski.\u0026nbsp; \"Around that time, Noire finished college and she sought your father out.\u0026nbsp; Any idea why?\"\n\n\"He invested in her company, I guess that's when Noire Corp. started.\"\n\n\"Do you know what her first invention was?\u0026nbsp; I'll tell you.\u0026nbsp; No one knows, but everyone suspects cloning or robots.\"\n\n\"Everyone or just you?\"\n\nThe interviewer chuckles and closes his notepad.\u0026nbsp; \"Okay, just me, but I have a good reason and you just confirmed it.\"\u0026nbsp; Alaski tilts her head as the interviewer scoots his chair closer.\u0026nbsp; \"What's your earliest memory?\"\n\n\"Waking up in a hospital.\u0026nbsp; My dad and the doctors never told me the specifics of what happened.\"\n\n\"Let me tell you what you were doing before.\"\u0026nbsp; The interviewer opens his notepad again and flips to the end.\u0026nbsp; \"You were attending the same college as Ishika and Noire.\u0026nbsp; You were interested in some science because you shared a class with them.\"\n\nAlaski shrugs and looks around the room.\u0026nbsp; \"Okay?\u0026nbsp; So I attended the same class as them.\u0026nbsp; Doesn't mean anything.\"\n\n\"A student died during their final exam.\u0026nbsp; They were presenting a high-end laser to cut a diamond.\u0026nbsp; The experiment backfired, the machine broke, and it killed a student.\u0026nbsp; Now, the whole thing was quieted down, but I think that's because if it was found out a billionaire's daughter was killed, it would be more scandalous.\"\n\n\"You think I was killed?\u0026nbsp; But I'm right here.\"\n\n\"Exactly.\u0026nbsp; How are you still alive?\"\n\nAlaski scoffs.\u0026nbsp; \"Well, you should be a MeTuber with your conspiracy theories, but I think we're done here.\u0026nbsp; My phone.\"\u0026nbsp; Alaski extends her open hand to the fox canid.\n\nThe interviewer smirks and reaches for Alaski's phone in his pocket.\u0026nbsp; He places it in Alaski's hand but pulls her close to his face.\u0026nbsp; \"Who are you really, Alaski?\"\n\nAlaski's eyes widen and she backs away, stumbling over the broken table.\u0026nbsp; She catches her balance and makes her way to the exit.\u0026nbsp; She stares at the interviewer who just stares back at her.\u0026nbsp; Alaski opens and closes the door slowly and quietly, leaving the room.\n\nThe interviewer folds his notepad and writes on the back of the last page.\u0026nbsp; \"Alaski Illion, Alaskan husky canid.\u0026nbsp; Secretary turned scientist of Noire Corp.\u0026nbsp; She has no memory prior to twelve years ago.\u0026nbsp; Is she the student who was killed by Noire and Ishika back in college?\u0026nbsp; If so, how is she alive now?\u0026nbsp; Are the rumors about clones or robots from Illion Enterprises true?\u0026nbsp; Did Noire help because of guilt?\"\u0026nbsp; The interviewer closes his notepad and stares at the door.\u0026nbsp; \"What a fun company this is, but there are still too many questions that need answering.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"The Interviews","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1496669-the-interviews-dr-noire.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1497808-the-interviews-the-timeline.json"}}
