FORTY-THREE : ... [event]

[wristsniper]

I just watched the suits demolish the house across the street from me. What the hell did they do?

Don't go outside. Just stay inside. If they enter your home, fight back.

Do we have a list of the houses destroyed? Or is no one going to conduct a reconnaissance? [Because one area where the fire was coming from that he saw...]

[wristsniper]

Nothing, yet. I'm not going out there again. I've fought those things once, and I'm not going into a battle I know I'll lose.

[fatesjanitor]

I won't go out either.

...The woman who was placed as my wife - I think someone she's close to was in one of the houses that were destroyed. It was in that general direction at least. If she finds out it was his house then I don't know what might happen.

[wristsniper]

Who is she?

[expiatrice]

Would you be aware of the hazamats' exact physical aptitudes, Major General?

[wristsniper]

They're fairly irregular. They're fast, and I've seen them hit hard. They don't stop, and they don't exhaust like humans...

[expiatrice]

How high can they jump?

[wristsniper]

I don't know.

[freakinblur]

I am really startin' ta lose my patience here! The whole town's gonna get leveled at this rate. Wanna make a bet? I bet that if that don't find that guy, those houses they burnt down ain't comin' back. Neither are the people inside.

[wristsniper]

This has happened before, right? A "punishment" sort of activity?

[freakinblur]

Yeah. From what I was told, everyone tried a riot once. Everyone ran off in different groups, tryin' ta outrun Grady. They thought maybe he couldn't keep up, but he tracked everyone down an' droned 'em. Then people startin' gettin' killed.

Minatsuki told me that. Ages ago. An' ya know what I said? I said, he can't be perfect. There's gotta be a flaw somewhere. He ain't God! There's gotta be a way around all this shit!

[wristsniper]

We can't outrun them or outnumber them. We have to out-think them.

[hop_toit_udonge]

It was only a matter of time, really.

[wristsniper]

Stay safe. Whatever you have to do to them.

[withmorelove]

[Yeah, he's just staring out the window at the smouldering remains.

It was beautiful.

He wants to see it again.]

[wristsniper]

[Mom will just smack him upside the head.]

[withmorelove]

Ow.
[Rubbing his head-it hurt, but you know him and pain.]
What was that for?

[wristsniper]

Stop staring. People are dead.
