"I have an extra toothbrush and some toothpaste in my backpack if you need it. I already got water for both of us."
Zinn pauses, before sitting down heavily on the hotel room couch.
"None of us are qualified psychiatrists or psychologists. I suppose I could read up, but I'd need a month or so to become totally proficient. We don't have the means, or the resources. On the other hand, Red Infinity considers opposition to the government a mental illness."
Zinn pauses again.
"I don't know if we should bother to rescue them."
Zinn's voice is curiously flat.
There is another pause.
"I... I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't even have thought that. We should go get them. You're right. Simona would have wanted for us to. Christian forgiveness..." Zinn blurts out.

Glancing at Mitya and back Iris looked uneasy.
"Um mother...I got the feeling...he didn't want to talk..." she said in a low voice. "I don't know..."
Iris stopped herself, maybe she was just being silly. He'll talk to me when he's ready I suppose

"Edge of the forest? It's too far to run... unless..." No time to consider, the girl's life on the line. "Hold on!" Peter's eyes change, going from gray blue to dull green. His hair fades, turning silvery white. His body hardens, and he seems to grow thicker and taller. In fluid motion he scoops Lena off her feet and into his arms without breaking stride.
"Hold on." His voice is cold, emotionless and monotone. The trees whip past, the world blurring as Peter picks up speed, racing through the woods faster than most cars. "Point me. Which way is your sister?"

"Ummm, I should tell you Mitya tends to be nervous around androids and cyborgs... Despair is an android, and I'm a cyborg... And the Ministry of Information plans to turn you into a cyborg. If I had to guess I'd say that's why he's nervous..." I feel a little sick telling her what the Ministry plans to do to her, but I also feel the need to tell her the truth.

Raine wake up silently and she opened her eyes and looked around the room before moving her arm to brush her hair back from her face. She felt sore all over because of the position she fell to sleep at. She swiveled herself to the edge of her bed and she rested her elbows on her knees and proped her head up with her hands. She slid her hand into her pocket but therre was somthing in there. She pulled them out. There were 3 gold coins. The ones that Shade had given her.she put them back into her pocket and she left the room and sat cross legged in the lobby of the rebel metro station.SHe sighed because she had nothing to do.

"Whoa..." I say scratching my head. I get up.
"You have a job? I could probably use one of those... And the FRA was attacked by a luddite, a rebel, and a former Red Infinity operative? Wow they are really hated..."

"You young sweet sister isn't here to save you, and you're never going to be around to save her again.."
Elbereth pins Lana to the ground with her foot on Lana's neck.
She slides the tip of her ice blade along her arm, causing a cut.
"Well, I'm sure the Godless torturers could cause you alot more pain then I could. I'm sure they'll welcome you, being a priestess and all."

I finally finish work on the locomotive. I am now covered with ash and coal dust from head to toe, but I don't really care. I walk out into the hobby and see someone I haven't met before. "Hello, I haven''t seen you around here before..."

"It's alright... I just... I just want to understand..." I say, skittishly. "And I forgot my toothbrush, so thanks. The only thing I brought was my laptop actually." I scratch my head.
"If they do need help, they aren't going to get it there. I can help with that, if they are willing is another situation... I don't think restraining Antero will be easy, but Sasha might go along with it. Also, we should consider a funeral for Simona."

Lena could feel hate, then fear, and pain.. She starts to panic while pointing to which way the feeling was getting stronger and stronger. *Hang on Lana.. Hang on!.. I'm almost there..* If Lana died, Lena wasn't sure if she could go on living.. Lana was the only person who'd always been there for her, right by her side..
*Elbereth! I'll never forgive you!* She thinks bitterly.

"Oh that's not a problem. I'm Zero Americanski, one of the rebel leaders. Basically if it's not political I deal with it. Youy interested in joining us?" I ask as I grab a damp washcloth and clean my face and hands.

Peter's sensors lock onto a pair of targets. Elbereth and Lana. The Hunter makes a slight course correction and continues forwards, closing the distance in moments.
"Stay clear," he says, tossing Lena lightly to the side so she lands on a large clump of moss, a short distance before they reach Lana and Elbereth. Crashing out of the under brush Peter rushes Elbereth, right hand coming up, white fire errupting outwards into the holy sword Numistar, reaching out for the Godless.

"Zero was upset about how they acted. I feel torn about it. She sees them as an ally, whereas, I see them as a political enemy who happens to also be the enemy of Red Infinity. Sometimes I am more inclined to side with Red Infinity than the FRA. It just seems unnatural to take the FRA's side. I am not sure what our relationship with them should be."

"Restraining...? I guess we would have to..." Zinn says. The idea of restraining anyone makes her very, very uncomfortable.
"I guess the question is then, how will we get them out?"
"A funeral... What do you think Simona would have wanted? I can't imagine Simona having anything to do with a funeral. It seems so weird."
Zinn folds her hands and stares at them. Then, she picks up one of the glasses of water that she put on the coffee table, and sips some, slowly.
"It doesn't feel real. It never does."
