Silence of Time update
Fletcher spent the night being tortured. They shot him with arrows, put his back against a tree and pulled his arms backwards until the shoulders dislocated, forced him to swallow red-hot stones, burned his eyes, ears and nose and beat him to a bloody pulp when he frenzied.
But in ordeal comes wisdom. Fletcher realized that the Rite of Dormancy, properly altered and performed, might force the Virus back into remission, as it were. In the morning, he shared that insight with the others...
...who had interesting nights of their own. Well, mostly Scylla. She dreamed that she was standing in the graveyard and saw thick webbing in the trees. She saw a wolf on the other side of the webbing and pushed past it. She felt a cold chill from the wolf's gaze (which gave her a clue as to who the wolf was) and up ahead saw the campfire/burning wolf again. When the Fire-Touched parted to make room, this time there was a man standing behind her who started to walk by her toward them. She stopped him and told him to make up his own mind, and then woke up.
Later that day, Don showed up with a man in his trunk. The man, he said, was a Internal Affairs cop taking orders from Gilelli of the DEA (whom you might remember). That, to Don, made this cop (Gordon) a traitor to the "pack". Reese carried him into the woods and turned him over to Uriah, who tasted his blood and then went to work examining him. Uriah determined that Gordon was not only infected with the Virus, but was also wolf-blooded. (Gordon is also being played by hobbesthetiger, incidentally.)
They dragged Gordon into the Shadow and saw the red mist. They saw it grow and reach from them as he told a story, but it seemed unable to infect him. They couldn't try the Dormancy theory out, though, because no one present knows it. Uriah suggested a rite that only the Pure Tribes know, appropriately called the Rite of Purity. The pack agreed, and sent Scylla to watch.
Before they dragged Gordon out of the Hisil, he walked off to take a piss and found himself talking to Stalker-in-Silence. He told Gordon to follow him when the time comes, and that he couldn't let the werewolves kill him.
OK, you all know a First Change is coming. What's up for debate is who gets the new Uratha.
