Th physician's limp thud from the adjacent room drew Wolf's attention as she comforted Jade, allowing her enough time to watch as the dead girl propped herself up, dissolved her severed head, and then grew a whole new one.  Wolf felt the stinging heat of [color=8dc73f]HK's[/color] processes running behind her right eye as she stood up and leaned against the door frame.  Things were never dull in the Den.  [color=8dc73f]HK[/color] was taking an uncharacteristically long time to feed any information into her HUD.  "[color=8dc73f][Processes Running] . . .[/color]" burned into her retina long enough to leave an artifact in her vision when it finally blinked out.

Wolf raised an eyebrow.  "Dove" was ShieldTown's Chrome-Fixer, and a friend of Alex's.  She'd disappeared about two years previous.  Wolf knew this because because Dove used to regularly help maintain her cybernetics, and [color=8dc73f]HK[/color] had sent the Interceptor to follow her after calculating that there was a high probability that she'd been headed towards the Graves.  The Interceptor was fast but had limited range, and hadn't been fully fueled yet from its most recent sortie.  A second drone was dispatched to cover Dove, one with the range and armaments to cover her for a long time, but there was a gap in the coverage between when the Interceptor had to return and Albatross 2 arrived on site.

It couldn't have been more than ten minutes or so... but that was all it had taken for Dove to vanish into the Graves.  She'd patrolled the area both in person and with her suite of drones for days, but eventually had to be called away to prepare for the impending Hunt.

[b][color=#7270db]"Good news, Jade!  You didn't kill anybody,"[/color][/b] Wolf chirped.

[b][color=bc8dbf]"Oh lovely... Good news, good...,"[/color][/b] Jade trailed off as the tension audibly left her body and she fell into exhausted unconsciousness.  Wolf quietly dimmed the lights in Jade's room and shut the door behind her.

[b][color=#7270db]"Pardon,"[/color][/b] she approached Jemma, nudging the physician with a toe once before stooping to lift her up and put her on one of the other infirmary beds.  She sat down on an open bed with a sigh and let her legs swing for a long moment.  Her black furred ears perked up and turned towards the girl, cyber-cochlear implants listening for and recording any involuntary sounds her body made... Wolf already knew she didn't really have vitals, which wasn't concerning in the least.  Nope.

[b][color=#7270db]"Dove?"[/color][/b]  Wolf asked pointedly... no point in hesitating: if this was a Stranger, both [color=8dc73f]HK[/color] and she would know pretty quick.  The red of [color=8dc73f]HK's[/color] attention glowed dimly behind the blue of Wolf's right eye. [b][color=#7270db]"Do you remember who I am?"[/color][/b]
