Re: Calgary, Alberta - Canada
Przemek went on in silence for some time, before hearing a faint smashing sound somewhere ahead of him. A more concentrated effort would pinpoint it in the northeast branch of the corridor he was currently in, which as he recalled should dead end, so what the noise was ...
And then it hit him. That area also had been resealed after minor flooding last month had caused the walling there to crack and destroy an old tunnel system leading to the surface, and eventually into one of the more populated areas of the city. It seemed his prey was trying to escape from this place.
As he walked, he discovered a crate that had been brought from South America that was smashed from the inside out. Perhaps the serpent had been 'born' from this?
Miranda smiled.
"No, they gain nourishment whenever I eat, but that actually is something I should probably have Helen put in my file come to think of it. Wouldn't do any good if you folks came across one of us and had to take care of them because they couldn't, and you not know how to."
((Nah, she's just killing time. Somehow I don't think Miranda is going to exactly be the type who can recruit well given her actual appearance.))
Chris actually shrugged.
"Well, I'm glad you don't feel anything nasty from it, almost surely is a good sign. Helen should be back soon, helps having more than one person who can teleport at your disposal. If it really comes down to it I suppose I could take you to her, but then you wouldn't be here where the results are. Suppose I could load them to a port device, but ... well, the UK sanctuary isn't this one. Truth be told ... I've never been comfortable standing in a place almost as old as Helen. London's Sanctuary was built sometime back in the eighteen hundreds, late age. So you can probably guess how old Helen is roughly by that."
He continued to squint at the screen, pointing to part of the genetic readout being off key.
"That section of your genetic structure, it seems to still have some form of residual ... echo to it. I can't tell if it's natural for you, and being's I don't know what your capable of, I can't really guess. Plus, I'm willing to bet you won't tell me anything more about yourself, so it severely limits what I can understand and do for you. If I had to guess, I'd be inclined to think that this echo messing with the scanner is residual effect from being shot, almost seems like they were trying to ... well ... Liquify or break your body down in some way to contain it in a small object, and it didn't work like they thought, but it's just a guess. Though ... if they were wanting to experiment on you like they usually do with others, doing such a thing to an abnormal other than a shapeshifter would outright kill them. Unless ... your one?"
