[network] [video] [open] [after Babadon't]

[wheyoftheadept]

[Saturday looks like hell.  She's showered, at least - her hair is wet and there's a towel around her neck, but her visible skin is covered in scrapes and bandages, and there are bags under her eyes.]

Hi, guys.  Just got back from - well, I'm gonna be real honest here and tell you my own memories are a little fucked. Jorg pulled me right outta medical to run escort on some civvie caravan.  We ran into a Stuff storm.  They tell me it's been like two months?

 [She runs a hand through her hair, wearily.] 

What have I missed?

Good.

[she doesn't ask about jorgmund employees, because she doesn't care.]

Was it anything anyone recognized?

[greyerrant]

I think Dan knew what it was, mostly. He is a good fellow. Some kind of monster hunter. Lived in a hole in the ground [ You know, Like a hobbit. ]

[wheyoftheadept]

Yeah, I know Dan. Seemed a decent guy. I'm glad things went smooth.

[greyerrant]

As smooth as the hunt for any murderous beast can go, at least. It got past most of our search team and into the barracks where the children and teens were holed up, but they were able to slay it.

[wheyoftheadept]

Fucking hell. How'd that happen?

[greyerrant]

It was an infiltration beast. Looked like Adora, so I'm given to understand. Always hated those kind of things when I was fighting as an Astartes.

[wheyoftheadept]

Fuck. Poor kid. She was okay, though, sounds like?

[greyerrant]

As far as i can ascertain. She seems upset about it though.

[wheyoftheadept]

No shit. Someone took my face to fuck up my friends, I'd hunt it til the end of the universe. She get some of her own back, at least?

[greyerrant]

You would have to ask her about that, unfortunately. You ever encountered anything like that?

[wheyoftheadept]

Can't say I have. The things I encountered usually took you over, didn't imitate you or nothin.' Gives me the creeps - not sure I could catch a duplicate, if it was good enough. Nothing I've got is geared towards detecting that.

[greyerrant]

Consider it a test of your reasoning and your tactical ability, then. We might encounter such things again and having a countermeasure might be helpful for you.

[wheyoftheadept]

[This answer clearly does not thrill her]

Fucking hell. This place.

[greyerrant]

For once I can nit even blame this place, that kind of ability is not unknown in my own time.
