Though I suspect that someone else we know will be able to shed some more light on things, since she has animals which are capable of tracking, and we're going to be using some of those to try to follow whatever trail Despair left..."

    "Well, that'll certainly help. Or at least it should. Anybody I would know?" Eileen asks, regarding the animal-handling person.

    Fear shrugs, unsure of who Eileen would know, other than them. She doesn't actually know her all that well, after all; this is only the second time they've met, and the Remnant didn't exactly say much about her social life last time.

    "Maybe? Depends on who you know... Does the name Lady Raennall ring a bell? If not, then probably not, since she doesn't tend to go by false names much, that I'm aware of."

    Infirmary - Sunny

    After a long crying session for the both of them, Bugs pulls back slightly to look her in the eyes and offer her a small smile as he strokes her cheek. "Sunny Evans, you're going to have a beautiful baby boy soon, and I'd never miss it for the world. Trust me when I say that everything will turn out good. I promise." He swears.

    Infirmary - Feia

    "Installing new organs gets easier after the hundredth time you've done such." The doctor admits before looking up at her tiredly. "They and a few of your ribs are practically tear, break, and bullet proof. Provided it's not a caliber that's too large of course." He informs her. "After your recovery here, we can either rehabilitate you here, or let you and your egg go to GLoG. They have a healthier atmosphere however. And they're more friendly. I hear the campgrounds are quite nice this time of year."

    Rec Center

    The Combat Mage shifts her seat aside with a slight smile before gesturing for the scorpion to join them. "And you're the newest recruit I hear. I'm Anna. A pleasure to meet you."

    Around the Perimeter

    After telling Charity of his intentions to retire, the night had been wonderful. A lot of stress had been removed from both of their shoulders because of it, but even so, Edijar couldn't help and feel as if he was abandoning this place. So, like anyone who has been in a similar position, he decided to clear his head and go on a jog.

    His thoughts weren't any clearer, even after the 20th lap. Instead, his mind turned a bit numb, even as he lapped the new recruits for the third time on the track. He didn't feel tired, and that bugged him. He should be feeling something about all this, wasn't he?

    With a heartfelt sigh, he begins jogging through the gates, heading to the only outsider he might be able to talk to about this with any sort of trust. They might not get along well, but there was still an odd sense of respect that he might be able to count on.

    Poor Magtok.

    [The Gate]

    A certain half-dragon is approaching the remnant base. In one hand he carries a rather bulky duffelbag, though it doesn't seem to be slowing him down any despite its obvious weight. He's dressed in a white tee-shirt and a pair of sturdy and well worn jeans. Across his back is his trusty sword, Conflict.

    He'll approach whichever gate guard is outside at the moment and say, "My name's Harnel Mithar, Councillor Mithar's husband. I've got a proposal for Remnant from Watchtower if I could see someone about that."

    That seems like a convenient perk to almost dying...she can still get cut up and battered, and such, but at least she shouldn't have to worry about outside-force organ failure.
    Neat.

    Sadly may become useful.

    But what is more immediately important is the latter half of what Bugs says, about rehabilitation location.
    It seems to be a safety versus comfort choice.
    A fairly focused safety however, as she only really has one person to fear at the moment. Would it be fair to impose into Remnant over that, or perhaps subject the egg to the harsher environment?

    "I'm somewhat surprised your higher ups have no interest in keeping me here for observation."
    Another reason, perhaps, to choose GLoG. Perhaps fewer of them would see her as the sociopathic sorceress to be contained.

    [Meeting Room]

    Sornnolu Xar'Cha sat waiting in one of the conference rooms deep within the Remnant compoud. The message that had summoned him here had been sudden, and brief. It made the drow nervous, though it did not show through hs patient, almost bored expression. However, he had brought along an honor guard, as well as a single black clad bodyguard, who lacked all of the honorguard's finery, but made up for it in quiet, restrained martial skill. This drow either stood at attention behind Sornnolu, or posted himself outside the door, depending on Remnant's particular preference. The rest of the honor guard, a quartet of drow in shining blue steel, had certainly placed thmselves somewhere nearby as well.

    "If you'll pass over your weapons, we'll see to it that someone speaks to you." One of the guards tells Harnel. Husband to a Councilor or not, there was still protocol.

    Infirmary - Feia

    Bugs snorts. "While there'd no doubt be something to gain from that, it would have been easier to do it if you had been dead. Consider the organs and new life an...investment if you wish to call it that. No need to concern yourself as to what the investment is for, as I doubt the higher ups have decided exactly yet."

    Meeting Room

    Sorn's bodyguard would have been allowed in the room without any worries. It doesn't take long for Vasquez to arrive to the room, but she doesn't seem hurried. "Sorry for the short notice, but while it is fairly urgent, it isn't life or death. Do you need anything to eat or drink before we begin?"

    That's almost ominous.
    But it's not the first time her life has been an "investment".

    It's almost enough to incite bemusement, but Feia just smiles a little.

    Sornnolu stands and bows respectfully when Vasquez enters the room. "No, thank you, I do not require refreshments." He replies, ever polite, as he retakes his seat. "If not of life or death, then may I inquire as to exactly what this is about?" The drow says next, cutting right to heart of things. Though Vasquez had allayed some of his suspicions, Sornnolu still had no idea what this meeting was for.

    "Possibly." Bugs admits. "But I think it'd mostly be curiosity and checking in on that." He says, pointing at the egg. "No offense, but more than a few young children around here have proved...troublesome to the extreme."

    Meeting Room

    Vasquez returns the bow and takes a seat with a sigh. "I am...concerned for your House. Something has happened that has likely tarnished your image and could very well unsettle the foundation you've set up here unless something happens to contain it and possibly amend the situation. I'm not sure it will happen, but it is more than likely."

    "A pleasure to meet you as well, Tovpir," Iamar says as she shifts over a little as well. She finds it strange to be speaking to a giant scorpion, but supposes that things in the Nexus would only get weirder. "My name is Iamar."

    Ah yes, the source of the entire present issue.
    Naturally they would be curious about it.

    "Remnant children, or Nexus children in general?
    I was not aware that there were any particularly youthful threats skipping out."

    A benefit to not being out on the streets in a little while, perhaps.

    Sornnolu is visibly concerned. "What has happened?" he asks quickly, clearly flustered by the news. "What has one of my foolish underlings done now?"

    The guard behind him shifts uneasily, but the noble waves a hand, dismissing his concern. "You know who I mean." He says without turning.

    Harnel nods and unstraps his sword, as well as hands over the duffel bag, "That's my armor, my hammer, and my claymore. Unless you somehow intend to take away my claws, that's all I've got for you." Harnel seems amused by that. It isn't a mocking tone, but understanding that it's necessary for this to be done. Besides, it's not like he should need them anyways.

    "In general on occasion."
    Bugs explains. "Hasn't happened for a while, but it has, and that's what matters."

    Meeting Room

    "That's one of the issues. I'm not sure she is an underling to you."
    Vasquez says. "I'm sure you know Ilpholin Xar'Cha. What you don't know is that she attempted to get me to declare her leader of Inside, and when that didn't happen, attempted to do the same with the Council. While I'm not bothered by this, I can't say how any of the other Orgs might react, let alone the citizenry whenever they get word. Aside from that, a few insults were tossed around. I can provide a recording of it all." She offers. "Like I said though, while I and Remnant don't care, I'd rather no one tried to strike at your holdings here and thought you should be warned."

    Sornnolu was outwardly calm, though Vasquez would probably see that his fists were clenched, his knuckles going pale. "I would be grateful if you could supply me with that recording. I need to know exactly how deeply she has scarred my efforts here. You are correct, she is not under my command. I am sure you are familiar with our culture. Women rule all, even if a male may serve as a better leader." The drow sighs, trying to let go of his anger. It was an old frustration, one he'd dealt with all of his life. "I can assure you, whatever she is doing, she is acting independently of me and House Xar'Cha. The Matron would be appalled to learn she has taken such blatent actions. I knew Ilpholin was ambitious, but to openly declare she desires to run the entire city? Such idiocy... I wouldn't believe even she was capable of it." It seemed Sornnolu did not have a high opinion of his half-sister. "What basis does she even have to stand on? What support? AMEN? Nonsense! The city would never allow it. Even if she had my support, I doubt she could win anyone over. This folly. Madness. She has discredited herself, and in the process dishonored my House and is threatening everything I have built here."

    Sornnolu pushes himself up from his chair. "I will do everything I can to limit the damage Ilpholin may have done. Particularly I will seek to reconcile any slights that have formed in the minds of the leaders of the other Organizations. I know that if conflict arises between their Organizations and those I command, there will be blood. Whatever orders I might give for peace and restraint, we are Drow.

    "I thank you for alerting me to this issue so quickly, and I apologize for cutting this meeting short, however I feel the faster I act, the less trouble there be. If I may recieve the recording you promised, I will get started on cleaning up this mess as soon as possible."

    "Ah, you must be Vasquez then," Harnel says, sitting down in whatever chair is provided. Hopefully there's a hole for his tail, though he won't show anything but a bit of restlessness as he talks if not, "As a matter of fact, there is. I've spoken with DC about it and he agrees with me that we need closer ties with Remnant. The soldiers here are the ones that see the largest threats and peacekeeping issues, but Watchtower is meant for the large threats as well. Because we have a similar goal, I'd like to propose We work together a bit more often than we have in the past."

    "Training together a bit more to give us more camaraderie was the largest thing that had occurred to me, but other benefits could be had as well - It's no secret that I have a large stock of adamantine and the ability to craft things from it, and I could provide some of that for the soldiers here, DC and KR are both inventors of a sort I believe, and each of our members tend to have skills that benefit our group as a whole. I'm sure everybody has something to offer."


    This is mostly an informal way of establishing what Watchtower would give in such an exchange. Whether or not Vasquez wants to contribute is up to her, and Harnel doesn't really seem like the type to get offended if she decides not to say what Remnant might contribute.

    "To be a part of this city is all we have ever desired. I thank you for accepting us and ask that you do not forget that offer. I fear I may have need of it sooner than you would think." Sornnolu takes the chip and bows deeply. "Thank you, again." He says before turning and exiting the room. The black clad guard follows in his wake.

    Out in the hall, Sornnolu passes of the chip to him and speaks quickly in Drow. "Find me a way to play that and order the security around Delmah Phor to be redoubled. Keep our people close. Push anyone you believe my sister has tainted out to the patrols. If conflict from this does arise, they are the most vulnerable. Let her take the hit. Not us."

    The guard nods and quickens his pace, planning to return to the compound well ahead of Sornnolu. The rest of the honor guard fall in around the noble, making a more visible, and slower, march home.

    Vasquez listens to the proposition with obvious interest before replying. "And how many of you have had formal military training? In a small group. I doubt you have the numbers for a larger scale organization. And how many of you have had broad training of "modern" military techniques?"

    "So you're moving to GLoG then?"

I know DC and KR have had connections to military organizations, but you'd have to ask them if they've had military training. Let's see... Jakob, our planeswalker, Mentioned to me once that he's led men before, take that as you will. Boris is from a group called Spetznaz in his home world, Which I believe is a special forces group."

"On that note, is there anything in particular you'd like Watch to supply to Remnant? There's the things I mentioned before, but I'm sure you have other ideas as well."

    There is a lot of crying until there isn't.

    "I'm going to miss you so much." Sunny says.

    "Well, off the top of my head, joint assistance in some matters in the future, as well as a little adamantine if you can afford to spare some. I know the latter is a lot to ask, but it shouldn't be too much. While we can buy some, I'm sure you know how hard it is to get a hold of. Maybe some forged items too on occasion? That'd be a great boon to us." Vasquez asks.
