I got a different message after killing Midgard Apparition today, for asking about Alfheim:
She nods along when you mention Alfheim and you quickly get into a conversation about crops and agricultural drones. Her understanding thankfully seems about as surface-level as your own.
Someone else stares at you through the executive's eyes. You feel the gaze crawling over your skin. No Internal Disruption.
I had exactly 1 turn of Etheric left. (2 Bonus Power when the Defender has no Technique,23 Etheric Power,3 Melee Power,15 Etheric Defense,2 Melee Defense,11 Stealth Defense,-6 Perception,-6 Will,Slightly Increased Chance of Choice Encounters,FishingModerately Increased Fishing Yield,4 Memory,Neural Link,2 Processor,OtherGlow with Slightly Mysterious Light,effects: 1 Ocean Sight, 4 Altered State, 7 Spectral Curse, 9 Released Slug, 14 Dark Wind, 15 Gummy Carapace, 21 Limitless Justification, 86 HQ Alarm)
No extra message for asking about Yddrasil or Wojcik. Tested this again later today after HQ Alarm wore off and didn't get the extra message. I suspect the extra message is from having HQ Alarm and not from killing the Apparition today.
EDIT: Later today, with 18 Executive Alarm + 18 HQ Alarm, no message. Maybe need higher HQ Alarm?
I *think* if Executive Alarm gets too high, this and the Watchful Security encounters don't show up. So kind of tricky to get HQ Alarm high but keep Executive Alarm low.
EDIT: Got at higher HQ Alarm, without killing Apparition:

Formula seems to be (50 - 5*ED) turns of Internal Disruption, as long as you don't have it already, and have at least 50ish HQ Alarm?
