Even though Karina didn't enjoy the metal bracelets, she obliged when it was asked her to wear those. Especially when she heard the explanation, about how it served to identify runaway prisoners, since some of them could change appearance. A fact that did made Karina a bit worried.

When Ru'Tev heard more about the news about coordinated Crazed attacks, despite neither Karina nor anyone from her group having concrete proof, not only he ended up believing, which was already a huge relief to Karina, but he also said something that was very worrisome... He had already heard other reports of similar situations happening... Which immediately told Karina that it wasn't an isolated occurrence.

[color=6ecff6]"The fact that this isn't the first report of coordinated crazed attacks tell us that this is definitely not an isolated occurrence... We might have something very dangerous on our hands, Lord Ru'Tev..."[/color] Karina said with a serious tone as she continued following him in the small 'tour' through the prison, including reassuring them that he would offer them a room for them to stay for the night, before interrogating the staff and prisoners on the next morning.

When the princess asked why would Ru'Tev not allow them to immediately interrogate the prisoners, Karina couldn't help but agree with Ru'Tev.

[color=6ecff6]"He is right, Princess. The fact that the prisoners can change their appearance means that there is no such thing as being 'too' cautious when dealing with them."[/color] Karina said with a serious tone.

Karina heard in silence, paying close attention to Ru'Tev's explanation about the 'wyres' and the technology his ancestors developed, using those mysterious stones and lines, especially since that very technology seemed to be the cornerstone of that prison.
Regardless of the peculiarities of that technology, such as the unknown origin of the 'wyres', it was undeniable that if fully understood, it would be an extremely useful technology to have. Not only for the prison, but Karina knew the Military would also [i]love[/i] put their hands on that technology, should them be able to fully understand how the wyres worked and how to reproduce them.

The tour of the prison had proven for it to be quite secure and at least until the present moment, they had faced no issues of any kind... Or at least until the group reached the top floor. According to Ru'Tev's explanation, the top floor should house the prisoners who didn't need immediate restriction of their magical powers and weren't as 'dangerous' as the ones on the lower floors but what Karina saw and heard when they arrived there told her a different story...

The very moment they stepped in the top floor, the prisoners suddenly lunged at the bars on their cells, trying to reach out for them while claiming to be the true Ru'Tev and pleading for their help... specifically the princess.

Observing with a worried expression, Karina simply gave a step back, aiming to avoid one of the crazed that was trying to reach for her, but for some reason, she ended misjudging the distance, causing the crazed to get a firm grip on the sleeve of her coat and promptly ripping it off her coat, the moment he tried to bring her closer to the cell's bars.

[color=6ecff6]"What is this?!"[/color] Karina said with an angry expression as she gave a step back, looking towards the crazed, who was transformed to look just like Ru'Tev.

Normally she would have never made such mistake such as misjudging the distance from the cell's bars, but for some reason, it was exactly that what happened.

[color=6ecff6]"Unbelievable..."[/color] she grumbled, looking at her now ruined coat, before taking it off and folding it to carry it over her right arm.

[color=6ecff6]"These... 'chameleons' as you call them... They can be incredibly dangerous. You know that, don't you, Lord Ru'Tev? With some information and their ability to transform into others... They can make for perfect spies or even infiltrate positions of power..."[/color] Karina said as she looked to Ru'Tev, still visibly irritated for what the Crazed had just done with her coat.

[color=6ecff6]"Such as the prison staff. As you said, they shouldn't have known that we were coming here. It doesn't seem they know exactly who the princess is, as many of them called me and even Tayla while asking for help. But still, the fact that they were able to get such information so fast is a serious breach of security."[/color] Karina said with a very serious tone.

[color=6ecff6]"I fear this entire situation might be more dangerous than merely a few isolated cases of the Crazed carrying organized attacks... If they are organized enough to have information networks..."[/color] Karina said as she looked to Ru'Tev, with a very grim expression and tone. Both she and Ru'Tev knew very well how dangerous it would be if there was a Crazed uprising or something like that.
