[In a very serious, business tone, Abel's answering machine sounds after any attempted calls that aren't responded to right away.]

You've reached Abel. I am not available at the moment, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. If this is urgent, leave the line open.

And if this is Fitz I hope you're having a good day.

If I had asked you not to I would have put in safeguards to stop you. Good thing I don't have to.

[But he would if he had to.]

Do what's right for you.

[He'll file that away for later. He doesn't like that, the idea that someone would put in a restriction against helping someone else if they needed protection or an assist. Especially Cain. Speaking up about it now isn't worth it though, and might cause problems. Jesus asked for the truth, he gave what he felt was appropriately truthful.

Next time he'll have to weigh his options a little more.]

What's right for everyone is more important, but sure.

Anything else I can do for you?

[It would take a significant sign that Abel was detrimental to Cain. As it is he's glad for any help he can get.]

No. Just aim for the head on anything that comes at you.

[Abel at least is of the mind that a gun is a lethal weapon and should be used as such. Disabling shots were unnecessarily cruel if he had the option to stun with the other setting.]

Head or the heart.

Stay safe, talk to you later.

Re: [two days later]

[hippie_ninja]

No just the head. If these things are what I'm hearing, nothing but the head will stop them. Be careful. Be safe. Don't get bitten.

Re: [two days later]

[That gets him to pause, curious.]

What are you hearing?

I can hear a siren, jumbled transmissions, far off explosions. It sounds like I'm back on the Sleipnir during an alert.

Re: [two days later]

[hippie_ninja]

Explosions. The dead. You'll know that sound when you hear it.

[ There is no confusing the sound of the dead walking with any other noise. ]

And whispers.

Re: [two days later]

[inthebiblicalsense]

If I hear it at all...

I think perhaps the fog is focusing on what will disturb the individual, though I might be wrong. I don't know if you would be able to hear it from my side if I switched to audio. If it does, I don't think it's always.

Re: [two days later]

[hippie_ninja]

Sometimes floods are individual.

Just be careful. If you see a corpse walking, go for the head.

Re: [two days later]

[inthebiblicalsense]

I suppose I will keep an eye out for them, thanks for the warning.

If you see any large, alien bugs, run. A gun won't do shit.

Re: [two days later]

[hippie_ninja]

Got it. Do they hunt by sight or scent or hearing? something else?

Re: [two days later]

[inthebiblicalsense]

You know, that isn't exactly known. Thankfully most contact we've had with them is in space. Though they have invaded ships before.

They didn't leave much left to gather any further intel.

Re: [two days later]

[hippie_ninja]

Do they have ships?

Re: [two days later]

[inthebiblicalsense]

Yes. It would be rather terrifying if they could just travel through space fast enough to catch up to anything without one...

Re: [two days later]

[hippie_ninja]

Means they can die, though.

Re: [two days later]

[inthebiblicalsense]

They can. Cain and I have taken quite a few down ourselves. Being in a ship helps. Not much can survive getting blown up in space.

Re: [two days later]

[hippie_ninja]

Well hey there's some good news, right? We're in space.

Re: [two days later]

[inthebiblicalsense]

Yes, well. I don't have my ship here, and I don't think the Barge has an anti-matter cannon, or any cannons for that matter, unfortunately for us.
