I know that but I'm pretty much useless in a fight. I'm not exactly a slouch with a sword, but nearly everyone else here is bigger than me, stronger than me, more well armed than me, or some combination thereof

*Cal thinks for a moment*
Cal: Scatty and Aoife. The twin Warriors. Do you know what they look like?


*Scatty is sitting just outside the room*


*Aoife is in the gym*

*Strips whatever limbs that were found of flesh, then starts moving onto people who are mostly whole*
*Looks at the door being shoulder charged, then goes back to eating*

~

*Maiev smiles and returns the kisses*
M: You *Kiss* gonna let *kiss* me put it *kiss* on your or not? *kiss*

*D1 roars and pulls at Gharn's arm, but doesn't do much damage cause its neck is removed*
*Head falls, bounces off the body, and rolls away*
*Body falls on Gharn*

~

*D2 raises his arm to fend the blow, which digs deep into the arm*
D2: Insolent runts like you and the angels.
*Grabs Harador's shoulder with the stabbed arm, then throws him into the bleeding wall*

*Miritas throws a lumine globe in the air, casting a harsh blue glow on everything nearby*
*The walls are concrete, with pipes and cables running along them*

*Thaddeus looks appalled by Arya's words*
Thaddeus: You are not useless in a fight. If it means anything I can teach you how to weild wield a whip. And some basic defense moves so you can hold your ground... not that you'd need to when I'm around but... just in case.
*Thaddeus turns to Cal and nods*
Thaddeus: I will find them. No worries.
*They arrive at the room and he sets Cal on the couch*
Thaddeus: Soup will be ready for you both soon. Let me find those twins.
*He begins to shamelessly call out their names*

*Rita exhales at the demons death.*
*She turns towards the demon attacking Harador, and starts charging her rifle.*

---
*Jake steps back from the door, and empties a cylinder at the hinges.*
*Frowns at the amount of debris in the way, but keeps shoulder bashing.*

*Horus looks around*
Horus: Stay close, just in case

*Iris looks around too*
Iris: Well I guess we know where the plumbing is?


*Cal winces and lies still to avoid pain*


*Scatty looks up as she hears her name called and walks into the room*
Scatty: Yeah? You were calling me?


*Gharn winces and shoves the demon off then tries to pull out his sword*
Gharn: Thank you!

*Thaddeus turns to Scatty*
Thaddeus: There is a rabid creature terrorizing the medbay. Cal here says you and your twin would be able to take care of it with Jake. He's out there all alone tracking that thing and he is in need of back up.

*I look at Cal and begin singing softly*
*his pain slowly ebbs as his wounds begin healing*

It's very... primitive, no?
*Presses further down the stairs and walks past a yellow radiation warning sign*
"Note, think I got the shielding fixed, but will revise later. Was leaking like crazy when I first discovered it.
-V"
...Well, I think we found out what powers this place...

*Horus sighs*
Horus: Great, I hate radiation. Are you safe for this Miritas? In case there is a leak?


*Cal sighs as the pain ebbs away*


*Scatty shakes her head*
Scatty: Monster huh? I'll be fine with Jake. Take care of Cal okay?
*Walks into the medbay, swords drawn*

I will live, yes. Much of our macro-scale technology is nuclear, fission or fusion. My suit has a sensor that will warn me if the rads get too high.
*Continues going down the staircase, and passes a gothic panel full of skulls embedded in glass*
...No comment.

*Looks up as the debris falls over cause like half of it was removed by the now dead people in the room*
*Finishes chomping on a head, and stands up*

Thaddeus nods to Scatty and begins to go to the kitchen to knead bread andto make the soup*

-PURGED (BENEDICTION FINALITY)-

*Leo can't help but over hear the talk of monsters*

*She looks around the main room*

Leo: Monsters?

*Jake burst through the door, looks around the room in horror, and aim his magnum at Blue's head.*
Jake: Blue ... Why?
*Grits his teeth, and waits for her reaction.*

*The room is filled with the smell of Thaddeus's wonderful cooking*
Thaddues: Sit right, my friends. We will eat well tonight.
*He smiles over at Arya and Cal *

*Horus doesn't react to the skulls and Iris makes a face*
Horus: I wonder what's down here. Verdai obviously knows this place exists and has been down here, but I wonder what else there could be?



*Scatty goes into the Medbay and finds that her new lupine eyes allow her to see in the dark*
*She sees the place where Cal was hurt, winces and then follows Jake's trail*

*Tilts head, then looks at the bodies*
*Squawks, then jumps at Jake*
WANT!

Probably... engineering stuff. Reactors, etc.
*Moved further down, and passes a room full of deactivated servo-skulls*
Nope... that's Imperial...

*Taldeer smirks and says nothing*

*Thaddeus begins adding spices to the soup and the aroma is satisfying*
Thaddeus: Mm..

*Jake sighs, and with lightning speed, puts six rounds into Blue's head.*
*He doesn't have enough time to avoid the attack.*

*Scattty keeps a-trailin*


*Horus nods*
Horus: Then keep a eye out. There could be automated defenses.
*He continues on, Iris following closely behind him*

-PURGED (BENEDICTION FINALITY)-

*Raises arms in time to block the majority of the bullets, but still takes one to the temple*
*Leaps into Jake, rolls off with momentum and slams into the wall behind Jake, dazed*
*Gets to feet, and stumbles down the hallway*
*Can't see out of one eye cause blood*

*Scatty turns a corner to see Blue*
Scatty: Blue? Are you okay?
*Doesn't realize Blue is the monster*


*Horus frowns*
Horus: Hey, melee is effective. But yes, they are exceptionally brutal

*Taldeer keeps on smirking*
Oh I enjoyed it plenty Verdai, it's nice to see that you did too.

*I continue using my Bardic magic to heal Cal*

*Jake falls over, and gets the wind kicked out of him. Blood leeks from the gashes he receives from Blues charge.*
Jake: Gan dammit...
*Slowly gets to his feet, and reloads his magnum.*
*Too disoriented to notice Scatty voice, or where Blue is for that matter.*
