"Let's get guards on Skyhook, plus up their own defenses. I'd rather find the source and neutralize it, but until we know who or what is responsible, defending Shuri's our next-best option."

Coy nods "I have just the folks in mind"

Demos says "I'll volunteer too. Bastards hurt my brother. Eating them sounds a good way to balance it out"

Jess nods. "I'm comfortable with that."

Demos nods "Thanks, Boss. Don't worry, I can butcher and maim WITHOUT losing my focus on guarding. No rookie, Si?"

"I know, Demos; I trust you."

He nods, "Don't let Phobos do anything estupido, okay?"

"I'll do my best. He needs to rest and heal up."

Demos nods, "Gracias" ANd heads out to defend Shuri

Coy watches him go "Demos is not as nice as Sir Phobos, and Sir Phobos is NOT Nice, but.. I'm glad he's on our side"

"Me too." firmly.

Otem appears "How did it go at Tweak's?"

"We found the cvhosen one" Tito beams

Otem looks surprised "Tweak is the chosen one?"

"Shuri." she corrects.

"Ah, that.. makes more sense" Otem says "But she's just a child?"

"A lot of chosen ones are" Tito Woden says "I realized it made sense when we arrived"

Sir Jack reminds "And he realized it because TWEAK pointed it out"

"I did have a consultant, si," TIto Woden admits

"I'm hesitant to put all our eggs in one basket, but it certainly -seems- like Shuri is the focus of these chimera." Jess admits.

"The Pitt can help spread the net wider if you like, boss," Sir Jack says "I already sent word. I can't imagine Mitra won't get curious"

"Yes, absolutely. We talked about bringing the Pitt in to supplement guards and patrols."

As if on cue, Dame Mitra approaches "I can't tell you how weird it is not to have Phobos bellowing about me being here"

"I know." she responds seriously "Thanks for coming."

"You are my liege, more than that, yoiu're my friend ,and more than that... this sounds like trouble for the whole county"

"Have you had any reports of these things around the area of the Pitt?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. " She holds up a wing "This came from a wasp man"

"White anglo saxxon protestant?" Sir Jack inquires

Mitra shoots him a look, then goes back to Jessica "I tried Chronos on it. Only went a few hours back. It was patrolling all that time looking for 'the chosen one'"

"When did this happen?"

"About forty five minutes ago" She answers

"Good. Means they haven't found her yet. Did you find out anything else?"

"This 'swarm' seems varied, arachnid, insectile, but so far, all chimerical. They seem to see any 'bug' pooka who is not willing to aid the swarm as traitors. We had a butterfly pooka attacked near the pitt"

"Survived?"

"Yes, she's being tended at the pitt and she was so scared I gave her three days of haven"
