Ash stepped closer to Sammy, uncertain if she was moving toward the girl who was the closest thing she had to a friend with protectiveness or whether she was seeking some sort of comfort. Her eyes trailed across the surface of each bubble, her heart clenching with a new surge of paralyzing horror as each emotionless visage stared blankly out into nothingness. She turned a fierce glare onto No-Name, hoping for everything that she wasn't betraying her own rising terror. "Tell us now," she echoed strongly behind Sammy's words. "Is that what you do to...those who oppose you?"

For once, No-name didn't have an answer. She glanced at the hollow-eyed worker, one hand on the door. Then her eyes wandered to Aero and something rose in her throat. Something she hadn't allowed herself to feel for a long time. That how they thought of her? As a villain? She sighed. In her child form, they had loved her; even saved her life.

Her voice quivered, "They do it to us, too, you know."

Sammy gave No-name a weird look. Suddenly, a random thought popped into her head. She glanced at Ash, her eyes wide. "Um, I feel like we're missing someone..." I can't believe I didn't realize it... Where is Mikki?!

She glanced at the closest bubble, which encased a dragon-girl, and she was awake. Her mouth twitched. That wasn't good. Once they woke up, the hypersleep device couldn't keep up with their nutritional needs. She would be dead in three days if something didn't happen.

No-name shoved the thought aside and moved into the building. Time for coffee and doughnuts.

Ash looked at the bony woman with a glare so queer, so uncertain, it could've set ablaze then immediately frozen anything if she'd possessed pyrokinesis.
No-Name was agitated by the sight of these hypersleep domes.
No, she had a fear of them.
Ash gulped. The only woman who had any clue of where she was taking them, or what they were about to become involved in- whether if a single word of the vows and reasonings they'd been given was even genuine- had become mollified by this sight.
Yup. Those donuts would be really useful right about now...

The worker's quarters had exactly six bunks, two bath, and a four-burner stove. Not a speck of dust anywhere. Every belonging these people had sat in their respectively labeled boxes. One man sat on his bed, not on his phone, not reading or taking his shoes off. Just sitting there, staring at the tiles, breathing.
No-name ignored everything but the coffee machine. As if by magic, a pan of perfectly round doughnuts sat on the countertop. The pan was exactly square with the wall, as was the coffee pot, and the coffee mugs.

Ash ducked in the doorframe and held it open for Aero, who'd been silently trailing the other three during their solemn through the crystalline graves of the lifeless living. (@CP Chicken. I have proof you exist.) She ran her eyes over the immaculate room, noting the silent workers and immediately deciding a greeting that normally would be obligatory would be extremely uncalled for. She slowly made her way over to the counter, for once loathing the unnatural silence that she usually adored.

Sammy looked distastefully at the coffee. "I don't drink coffee," she said to No-name, sitting down on a nearby chair. She glanced nervously at the vacant workers, lacing her fingers together.

Zen slashed through a heavliy armed dude, and he fell over. Zen was just about take down another enemy when he heard somebody call his name. That sounded like Gage! Zen turned around, "I'm right here!!" He saw Gage standing only five feet away.

Crow hopped up behind Zen. He cawed loudly at Gage.

Everybody died.

Or not.


No-name nearly dropped her cup. Mikki. The dog girl. She hadn't seen her since... since they jumped off the plane. How could she have been so stupid? Headcount was six. Or was it five? No, Dryden hadn't been there when they landed, was that what had thrown her off? Had she counted herself?
"Yes." She said at last, clenching her jaw. Great, now they had two people to find instead of just one. Then her eyes fell on the fire-girl who stared at the workers as if they were dead on their feet. "We've got oatmeal, I think. Everyone better fill up, we may not be back until dark."
One of the workers, somehow dark-skinned with blue eyes glanced up at Ash. And stared.

Gage sat up and blinked rapidly. His ears rang, and Zen's and Crow's voices sounded like they were coming through a tunnel. The whole battlefield smelled like ozone, with patches of earth blackened from where lightning had struck. Even what Rex did could not compare to this.
His eyes scanned the destruction, and at last came to rest on Tayn. He would never hear cries like those that came from her on that day. She rocked back and forth, arms wrapped around herself, sobbing.
At last Gage glanced up to where he had heard Zen's voice. "Thanks, man." He rasped. What was left of the humvees and foot soldiers began to quietly retreat over the hill, "But I think... I think it's over."

Chase noticed a dragon-girl squirming in her cell. Awake, unfortunately. She wouldn't last long if they didn't do something. Then, pulling the piece of paper out of his hat, gave it to Mikki. "Here. This is the name of someone who might help you." Then he pointed a squarish finger at the building, not 100 yards from where they crouched. "Go in there and warn your friends. Then ask for Gabriel."

Ash stared back, since it seemed like the appropriate thing to do.

Sammy nodded, walking towards the oatmeal to serve herself. She noticed one of the workers having an intense staring contest with Ash.


Crow shook his feathered head, trying to make his ears stop ringing. He quickly glanced around and realized it was safe to shift back to his human form. He gazed blankly at the destruction around him, feeling shocked and empty. He followed Gage's gaze, spotting Tayn sobbing hysterically. She... She caused this?

Ash stared back, since it seemed like the appropriate thing to do.

Ash continued staring. Etiquette logic was definitely at work here.
