(Templar (Maria) assuming position in the said Bastion by thewizardguy)

There was a sudden influx of SOLDIERs pouring into the fortress like boats arriving by ports as they sought asylum. The entire facility was crowded with men and women of supposedly trained vampire hunters. This influx inflicted difficulties in the near instant that the refugees stepped in. Those inflicted with wounds and injuries did not took their time to seek out help into the medical wing. They felt the stress and the limited supply of the medical wing began to become overspent.

"Reports say it was an attack. Awfully powerful vampire was leading them I heard."
"My mate made it out, said somethin' about a teethy one."

The chatter was strange to the Templar as she strolled past the SOLDIER barracks. Teethy vampire was sighted during the attack on the forward base in the north. Maria took her ears off the mumbling SOLDIERs while the clacking of her heels met the ascending stairs towards the command post. The Field Marshal had his wrinkled fingers and weary eyes over papers and reports about the assault of 'Point Kilo' as they called them-- The northern forward base. By the front of the desk, littered with files, reports, spent cartridges and inkless pens she stood frigidly as though it was normal. "Some of them men are MIA." The Field Marshall's unconcerned and monotonic voice said to a lower rank officer.

"That or they went AWOL." Maria said it as if she had slipped her tongue. The Field Marshall looked up to the raven as though he had just seen a phantom ghost. Field Marshall Rueben was surprisingly clean-shaven for somebody of his status.

"They're sworn vampire hunters, Templar Maria. They've broken their oath if they did went AWOL. My guess is they're decoying themselves to let the others escape." It was an obvious and horrifying deception. You could see it by the way he read the papers. He didn't care if they were MIA, KIA or AWOL. They were expendable. "I'll send a search party for them if we have men to spare." Maria could only roll her eyes away.

"You've seen the reports. What of this 'powerful teethy vampire'?" The sound of a page flickering could be heard as FM Rueben looked over the papers again.

"A pile of bullshit. They fucked up and made a story from it. That'll teach them to follow the rules. Now my base is crawling with these bunch of failures, sapping my supplies." Maria could almost guess what his next move would be. Send those crippled men and women of SOLDIER as the searching party. An indirect way of condemning troops to the death penalty.

Point Kilo was kilometres away from this settlement, Maria began to have vibes inside of her that the attacks would occur again. FM Rueben wouldn't be interested to hear about ill-feelings. Maria immediately displaced herself from the command post and back to the barracks. The chatter remained the same, teethy vampire-- deaths or return of comrades. It looked as though the SOLDIERs were riled up for a fight after their stories.
