[Probably the briefing. Jaeger is a hard man to miss, at six foot four with a bristling black haircut and stern demeanor. He looks like muscle, and the pair of dark-rimmed glasses he wears from time to time only sort of break that impression.]
You know that a hundred years ago, there was a train crash that killed quite a few people and animals? It was a big local tragedy at the time.
Well, this car was in that crash. Before they cleaned it up and painted it, it was a burnt-out shell. It takes more than a paint job to remove that sort of...history.
If you believe in those sorts of things, at least.
[That last is added wryly. He's pretty sure Stephen is ADI as well, or they wouldn't be having this conversation. Which means at the very least, a passing familiarity with the fact that Things Are Weird.]
