Hermit had begun the whole procedure of dealing with a panicking Tower. Checking her over, from the scalp all the way to the base of her neck. It wasn't exactly an accurate thing considering their considerable constitutions. Even if something had been done, the young Augur doubted she'd find...

Three Weeks Later Whatever had struck her proved a most unpleasant experience. Of that, a now-awakened Hermit thought as her mind ordered itself within moments. It took a little time for her to rise on legs that had been asleep and unused for nearly a month, and she tottered precariously for a...

Hermit felt goose prickles run along her arms, not so much from the gas she knew was coming as from the sound of its hiss through the vents. "Alright Damien Mørkeblod," she whispered to Magician, "Gas is coming in." She shuffled toward the pod, her robe covering her as much as possible, but it...

Hermit had fallen silent as things went on. After getting to her feet she followed after Magician biting back a retort on teaching someone poker. In a world full of Augurs she had no idea how that would have ended. "Saying that was a warcrime,"

Sherry's mind was a crucible of conflicting emotions as the Griffin's rough touchdown rattled her bones. She had more on her mind than she wished at the exact moment, but she needed to focus. She had a mission to complete. A small pack lay snug against her back, containing only a minor...

Hermit's mind was a kaleidoscope of wrongness and Escher paintings, a lingering echo of the psychic stranglehold from her betters. She shook her head to clear it, but the perception of images as her mind melded what had been done into something it could understand. She moved away from Judge and...

Columbary, Playroom Hermit floated silently within her tank, her eyes closed in serene meditation. While Augurs did not sleep, Hermit possessed the unique ability to confound her technicians, doctors, and all the associated bureaucracy. It wasn't exactly sleep but a deep meditative state that...

Sherry had a mind to call what Astarte offered nothing more than a carrot and stick scenario. Persephone would be the one to blame for that. And now Tiamat had begun to flex her claws. Eyes on the woman standing before the much shorter Astarte. It was all part of a political game she was sure. A...

The Qadeshi scientist, seeming turned impromptu marine surged toward Motts her sapphire eyes almost seeming alight with fire at the mention of 'her kid'. Motts was a career soldier, she a greenhorn by comparison but there was no feigning the sheer intensity of that look. It was at once maternal...

Hermit's descent complete, the Augur unclipped herself from the harness, waiting to see if anymore took the bait. As she did, the girl rubbed at her temples, then her scalp while performing some of the breathing exercises instilled in her. Anything to help with the pounding in her head. Only...

Hermit stood at the precipice of that abyss. Her mind reeled to be so close. Her vision, if one were to try and ask, could only be put into the vaguest of terms. It was akin to seeing a swirling mass going down a drain. An optical illusion played on her enhanced mind still grappling with...

Hermit glared at the back of Blue’s head, wondering if he kicked puppies in his spare time. Magician’s words cut through her agreement with Judge’s assessment of the Liquidator. She rubbed at a temple with one hand, the other holstering the large weapon when she neared Judge and Moon. The bald...

Artemis' thick accent crowed over the communication's net hoping the Knight would hear her. And through sheer annoyance at her chipper Rathcroghan demeanor in the face of danger would snap the man out of whatever stupor he was in. Or self-reflection. "Och, boss! Bleedin' fuckeng 'ell, you danced...

Hermit's nostrils flared at seeing the in-action of the two adults in the hallway. "Will you two do nothing? And let corporate assets be destroyed?! Children?" her voice pitching high as she glared at the two men. The mental math of how much it likely costs to train, feed, and expend other...

Hermit looked to the two monstrosities, her mind’s expanded capabilities were still new. A hatchling spreading and testing its wings. Not having the strength of the Firsts. Not yet. She was still building herself up. Flexing the mental organ strengthening herself. But observing the behaviors and...

A thickly accented woman’s voice crackled in response to Caelus’s offer. “Och, den send de fuckeng t’engs to'em ye muck fuckeng saleryman! hr I swear by de Lady I will stick a Tethys up yooehr ass and fire you avf into de sky!” the threat ringing like a bell as she named one of the dread...

Hermit felt a small pop of her shoulder as the group moved. Emitting only the faintest of a whimper. Her shoulder had gone back in place and mended itself quickly with her help. But with Blue pushing them, and the man wiping a finger against the spores, the girl wanted to admonish him for doing...

Sherry, after everything had broken away from her team for a brief respite. The Qadeshi woman had insisted on looking at the bodies. Noting the visible signs and with each it felt like a knife twisting in her stomach. So during that brief pause and cleaning herself as best she could, her...

Čehrāzād cursed under her breath as she was finally given leave to move from the muck. She managed to get her hands under her and pull herself up. Mud and dirt-caked her front. Her sides. And part of her face and hair. Having thought herself in the clear, the Qadeshi almost screamed a curse to...

Hermit had been so fixated on her task. Bending her will into starting the veritable riot of a war between the parasite and fungal whatever's tissues. It had begun working, liquefactive necrosis had begun taking hold. The syrupy liquid seeping from the thing and stench searing her nostrils as...
