Samantha tries a diplomatic overture as Chimera hears the buzzing inside the carriage intensify - intensify - intensify - intensify - intensify. The exchange of chemicals, signals and buzzing and sharp movements Samantha makes means nothing to Chimera, or Wilder, when they wander over, or Autarch, when they join, and the three are left looking at the one until Samantha offers a rough translation, though translating from High Parasite to Low Prey does actually lose some of the original poetry of the language - "to nest in the flesh of another" has a more mammalian meaning in this cursed tongue but the Howling Cloud do not mean it like monkeys snigger to think they might mean it. There will be no exchange of fluids when they nest in your flesh.

Perhaps cooling down the carriage could induce them to sluggish torpor and but they do produce a staggering amount of heat by their sheer number. Still, that would be on good approach, Wilder realizes, as the things are apt to dislike intensities of either warmth or cold, fit more for the middle range they occupy in this dark, dry place.

Fox spits off a curse in very impressive Japanese and then goes to hurl an empty bean can through Consequences, who are NOT being a TEAMPLAYER and ASSISTING WITH THIS CAMERA ISSUE do you THINK it is EASIER to map the signal when you BREAK THEM HELLOOOOO???? Can someone tell the nanite-ghost to stop EATING the THING that Fox is currently trying to USE as an ENTRY into a disused section of the mesh? Do you think this is EASY? Do you think just because Fox can cobble together a connection using two augmentics, six cans of beans, a comms device and a meter of copper wire that this isn't actually a challenge? It certainly doesn't get EASIER when the CAMERAS start being EATEN!

Everett stares into the dark. As far as they know the Dark does not stare back, though, given how dark it is, how would one tell?
