IV: Survival

[Vergil seems to have lost his coat, but otherwise looks in good condition, if not happy]

It is interesting the commander of this 'rescue' spacecraft does not seem to be overly concerned whether our population kills each other over a chance at a seat on this outgoing vessel. I also note there is no word of whether an effort will be made to return ( Read more... )

cheery as usual, plot: last man standing

[...Now that he mentions it, they didn't seem to acknowledge that that might happen...]

Damn it, you have a point. This is like being between a rock and a hard place, here.

Agreed. I haven't yet decided the best course of action.

Mm. I'm not sure either, honestly.

They're going to be coming back pretty soon, though, aren't they?

Yes. Hopefully the point they mentioned will still exist by that time.

Hopefully you won't cut me down to improve yours.

Given the reservations I have about our rescuers, I won't expend the effort it would require to get on said ship.

That's good to know.

Good point.

It makes me think they may not have our best interests at heart.

Well said.

Thank you. Still intact, I see.

So far. There are more important things to deal with at the moment.

I would think chunks of the world disappearing and leaving a deadly void in their place would prove to be your primary concern. [Raises one white eyebrow]

...You're really going to join in this madness?

Merely a warning. Lethal intent will be met with the like. Considering the low number of people that can be taken---and my mistrust of their intentions---I have no intention of fighting for a spot.

Be careful, Mary.

I'm being careful, but you be careful, too, Vergil. I threw a rock into one of those holes... it didn't come back, it's just gone. Something is very wrong here, and I don't know what, but I don't like it.

I know. They're voids---people have lost fingers and hands to them. It seems this place is disintegrating rapidly.

Frankly I'm surprised violence on a large scale hasn't erupted yet, with only a dozen seats on this departing craft.
