Sebastian wasn't entirely keen on the idea of Cassandra accompanying him and the others into the blast chamber; Rebecca had thus far done an excellent job of keeping her fully lucid and sane during their travels, but now she was allowing the pureblood to separate herself. He didn't say anything...
Rutu's ear twitched at Desmond's ongoing vocal admiration for his sister, and his tendency to base his worldview on her assertions. She turned her attention back to him, and slowly realized that Marina had just suggested a meeting between Rutu herself and Annaliese Valentova. She felt a knot...
Kang nodded. "Got it!" she said, sizing up the nearest stairwell. Meanwhile, Novy had climbed to the top floor and sought to get her some help.
There wasn't any time to argue with Novy over his lack of authority to order Hilmarrson or anyone else around. Oberto simply flagged Hilmarrson and...
Sloan nodded. "Thank you," she said.
It would always be difficult to tell what she was thinking while in this body - the Steel Dancer had no eyes with which to communicate any body language, and no lips with which to smile. In fact, at that very moment, Sloan was investigating sensory data...
Krawczyk, by this point, had rounded the corner on the east side of the building and took note of the Patrol's mounting casualties. McFarlane and Bongani were dead; Chou and Palencia were badly wounded. Even with her flashlight, Krawczyk stumbled in the darkness and nearly tripped over Oberto...
"I'm going to make a journeyman's guess and say that we're not dealing with vampires anymore," Sebastian said, crouched over a set of prints. "As much as I don't want to be left without the Saint's saving grace, I think my best chance of survival is with Riberta. She literally fought her way out...
Sebastian nodded ashamedly at Camille's "impressionable young minds" observation, but lifted his head at her encouragement. "...Ja," he said, shedding some of the anger and anxiety he had been suffering from. "No matter how this ends, it's better that we were here."
A voice emanated from Sloan's mouthless face from some speaker hidden behind a vent. It was a soft, gentle, and feminine to match the form of the Steel Dancer - the body Sloan had resided within since the destruction of her Earth. "I don't feel any way about it, it just is," the voice said. The...
Sebastian shrugged, smiling sardonically at his circumstances before taking a drink himself. "I'm used to being a pack mule... Half the reason they want kids in the army is because we've got young backs," he joked.
"...Bitte," he added quietly.
"How do we even know there's a way around?" Sebastian replied, bitterly. "Maybe they caused the cave in themselves to keep us out. Some of the demons we've met can create portals, like Tariun's favorites, so maybe the enemy isn't planning to come back the way they came." He wiped the sweat out...
Oberto looked back over his shoulder, but couldn't see his comrades for all the flashlights pointed back in his direction. "Acheson!" he called out.
"Bongani's bleeding out, sir!" the Squad 10 medic replied, desperately.
Oberto clapped Caine on the shoulder. "Get down there and help Chou," he...
Rutu had moved on so quickly from Desmond that Marina feared the boy would be offended. The chamberlain did her best to ignore the very disturbing notion of killer spirits summoned by thoughts alone, and instead focused on the invitation she had just been given. "Ah, ha..." she laughed...

Zetter's movement up the stairs and Caine's decision to follow had inadvertently split the efforts of the Patrol. Oberto, already incensed after the broadcasted execution of a civilian, was ready to confront Darwin immediately, and so was most of Squad 10 after the death of their comrade...
