[When Voodoo starts to speak her voice is quiet and unsteady.] I...guess I should um, say I'm back or something. [She takes a deep breath and steadies her voice.] Did anyone else that was taken encounter [a beat as she thinks of what to call what she encountered] something in that place? Something that really wanted you...um dead?
[As soon as he hears her voice, he activates his long-range scanners, pin-points her location almost instantly, and heads to her. When he finds her, he wraps his arms around her, but his eyes narrow.] Pris. You're here. You're okay. [A pause.] Why are you covered in dirt?
[She flinches when he touches her and starts to jerk away, but after a second she registers that it's Hadrian. When she does she she relaxes in his arms, hoping that he'll keep her from falling over as she starts to cry.]
[He does catch her when she starts to go down, and just holds her as she cries.] I'm sorry, Pris. [It kept repeating in his mind. He'd failed. His only mission here was to keep her safe, he'd promised he'd keep her safe, and he's failed.] I failed you.
[C'mon Pris, calm down. She takes a few deep breaths, trying to force herself to stop sobbing, but it each time she stops, she just starts back up again. It takes a few minutes before she calms down enough to actually speak and when she does her voice is broken and weak.] I'm sorry....look at me, crying like I've never been through anything bad before...[She sniffs and swallows down more tears.] Don't, Hadrian. You didn't fail me....not at all

Fenris spoke of strange things that happen.
Is this one of them?

I...[she looks down at her hands and bites down on her lower lip.] It's nothing bad.
