We better make sure we take out every single one of those Shadows that can talk.

[adamho]

Agreed. But the ringmaster should be our first priority.

[harmreduction]

I'd rather do a clean sweep, but if there's a chance we're only going to have an hour, I agree.

[adamho]

We'll have to see how the next one opens before we know what to expect, I guess.

[harmreduction]

Back to the waiting game.

[adamho]

Yeah. You'd think we'd be used to that by now.

[harmreduction]

Harder to be patient if something is trying to kidnap people.

[adamho]

It's never been one of my virtues anyway.

[harmreduction]

Have you tried meditation?

[adamho]

I can only meditate when there's magic on the line.

Not really my thing.

[highercalling]

Absolutely.

[harmreduction]

Yeah. We'll get it next time.

[highercalling]

I'm certain we will. Each squad has made amazing progress.

[...] Watching Shadows materialize like that was [...] very weird, though. Frustrating. I have to wonder if they were being summoned or [...] created.

[dallaslevy]

Created [...] would definitely be worse. You think that's a possibility?

[highercalling]

Much worse. Almost unfathomably worse. I'm [...] hopeful that's not what's happening, but I can't help but consider the possibility. The way it looked

If that's the case, we might have to reconsider our approach.

[harmreduction]

Rescuing the civilians was the important part.

[highercalling]

I agree with you.

[harmreduction]

Hopefully that won't be a concern next time.

[highercalling]

I'm worried we're not making headway.

Atticus/Dustin

[harmreduction]

Why?

[highercalling]

Do you [...] remember what I was saying earlier? About the Shadow that [...] pulled other Shadows? I I can't stop th I'm afraid they could be [...] well, "spawning" feels like a crude way of putting it, but being called into existence, certainly.
