Watching Hawke assess the situation, Fenris could only approve. The human's analysis was quick, decisive, and accurate. It became quickly apparent why Hawke was the one the group followed. That he was willing to attack at night was promising, too - Fenris harboured no intention to let Danarius...

Accepting the proffered hand with a sure grip, Fenris ignored the agony accompanying the contact, too familiar with the sensation akin to his flesh being carved anew. Instead, he allowed it to stoke to the fury building somewhere in his chest. The blademaster was not the only one who had caught...

"You guess correctly. But save your wrath - Anso hired you on my behalf. Given the circumstances, I'll assume you can understand my need for secrecy." Fenris did not apologise for the deception. If they wanted to make him pay for it, let them come. The tension between the group seemed to...

The night was bitter around him, the smell of sea-salt and something rotten commingling with the fetid air of an unusually cold evening. Fenris breathed in deeply - every free breath, cloying or not, was worth fighting for. It had come down to fighting for freedom tonight. Anso had chosen...

For half an hour or so, Dorian and Josephine traded witty repartee, each learning what they could about the other. Dorian's read on her was one of educated warmth. She was also very good at her job; Despite Dorian's flippant protestations that he needed nothing, by the end of their conversation...

"Christ... Wait, just to clarify..." "... Did that monster just wave at a camera?"

Far from the south, galloped a rider. He rode across barren plains and empty forests, through bare fields and across bridges joining the banks of empty streams. The hooves of his mount crushed dead grass and empty burrows, the hallmarks of a starving land. After weeks, he crossed into a small...

"You didn't read their flashy pamphlets, uh? 'The Human Research and Development Centre: Tomorrow's human, today.' Super soldier was a subset of what they wanted, I think, but more generally they were going for 'upgrades' they could sell to the rich and powerful. Nevermind that developing those...

"Vents in every cell in HRDC, so far as I've seen. None where I am right now - I made it out into the corridor. Good to hear you're alright." ... "D block. Never been in there - no idea what you'd be walking into if you went. As for E Block... I'd appreciate it if you didn't override the...

"No alarms? I was right. You're a lucky sonofabitch. What should I call you?" ... "That's the symbol on the label of the syringe. If it is a sedative...that button could be mass sedation. But it's a hell of a risk to take without being sure." ... "I don't think I am - I'm uninjured...

"I - Dan...works." ... "Hell. I don't think we're going to have a choice - we need to make it to the armory." ... "I found something on the other scientist - he had a syringe on him. I think it's a sedative, but see if you can see anything with a grey exclamation mark symbol on it in the...

The moment passed, and although Mahanon's anger remained, the elf seemed to retreat from that vulnerable space, turning his back and righting the strategic markers he'd strewn across the board. The closing of a door, of a wound that he had perhaps not meant to allow Dorian to see. A complex man...

"Because C block is where they cut your fucking brain open." "Yeah. Contact me when you're safe. Ish."

"That's...not a word I'd apply to myself. Survivor? Damn right. Escapee? As soon as I get the goddamn chance. Victim? Well. I don't know anymore." ... "It's in C block - in the middle of the island. I've been there twice, and I... It's...not...somewhere I'd go again willingly. Ever."

"I'd planned on it. If this is correct... well. It mentions an armory." "...I've been here over a year. Of that I remember clearly, maybe a few months. Maybe less."

"... A couple of documents. An ID card, but only on one of them. One of the documents looks like a weekly itinerary, a couple pages long - it's got an 'x' stamped at the top of every page. It's also got some interesting shit about locations. The other's a handwritten note - looks like...

"Long story. Not the sort you want to run into on a dark night. Anyway." ... "A nose, a butterfly - nope. No idea. Fill me in."

"...Alright, that sounds reasonable. Maybe we can help eachother out." ... "E block is big - the most noticeable parts are the large physical training rooms, indoor gyms, obstacle courses, high ropes courses. It's where they send people they've tried to physically augment, to see what the...

"... Told you from the start I'm no innocent. But whether you trust me or not, I'm probably the best chance you have of making it out of A block. I've been there." ... "I think I'm in E block. That's where I was last time I woke up. The place blurs together after a while." ... "Some of...

"Never mind? Fuck's sake, man - keeping me in the dark isn't the way to get me on your side, and if you are in A block, you're going to need all the damn help you can get. ... I wouldn't try the buttons, if I were you. There was a massive storm here two days ago. The place has been crazy...
