[color=fff200]”A redshift cascade..? Oh, no.”[/color] Karin shut her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. [color=fff200]”Disaster all around us, set in motion long before we ever got here. We’ll have to keep moving.”[/color] Karin said to herself, before following the others in their pursuit of Iron.

Karin’s grapple hook meant she could traverse the city easily and fluidly enough, swinging and zipping herself from point A to point B. This gave more room for the others to move through. Unfortunately it was all for not, as they discovered Iron’s corpse instead of her living self. Karin lowered her eyes and looked away.

[color=fff200]”All that effort, and for what? Only more questions.”[/color] She said, as a camera led allowed them the briefest glimpse of what was going on behind the scene.

[color=fff200][i]”Corruption[/i] indeed.”[/color] Karin said. Quietly pleased with herself at that one. 
With that, the disaster unfolded further, and the Seekers were drawn into conflict once again. This time, against odd looking monstrosities from the Astral Plane, and coming to the aid of two members of the authority. [color=fff200]”A Kanzuki never falters.”[/color] She reminded herself as she hopped into yet another battle in rapid succession. 

[color=fff200]”I possess the fortitude for ninety-seven more battles succeeding this one before my fighting abilities begin to degrade. Barely have we even scratched the surface!”[/color] Karin boasted before jumping into battle.

Karin found herself taking up a role of distracting and engaging the enemy directly while her allies supported and finished them off. She fought alongside Geralt (but not too closely) and snap kicked the knees of her enemy to slow them down. The enemies were powerful and in sufficient number and stature to begin to pose a threat.

[color=fff200]”No [i]match[/i] for us! Mindless beasts.”[/color] Karin taunted, and knew that a reaffirmation from a powerful warrior such as herself would boost the spirits of her allies as well. She dodged another lunge and knocked the protolegion onto its back for her allies to finish off while she parried another clawed strike with her forearm. This one was already damaged, so Karin dispatched of it herself with a series of flashy EX-Palm Strikes to send it scattering across the battlefield.

[color=fff200]”Now,”[/color] She sought to answer Geralt’s question. [color=fff200]”We must continue to pursue this elusive white rabbit.”[/color] But before she spoke further, she eyed Penance and Vigil. It was unsafe to talk strategy with them nearby. 

[color=fff200]”Well, the battle has passed, for now. Does this mean it is time to resume petty politics?”[/color] She asked sarcastically.
