Month 2, Day 32

[ Uncertainty is pushed aside in light of recent events. Whatever dismembered those people could still be out there, and Ivan's unsure if he'd be strong enough to fight it. And it probably flies. He can fly with his shuriken, but there is only so much possible while riding it. The caustic blood coming from a body part (Riley) had him going for his healing bracelet as well.

Ivan said he'd do whatever he can to help protect the camp. It's time he makes good on that despite his reservations about making such a dangerous request.

Although, he didn't think he'd be the one to break the news to the camp about what happened last night/this morning… He's stepping out of the background, but why is he stepping into the spotlight?! He thought someone would have reported this before him. ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org
TO: ALL

Did anyone see what happened this morning? Last night? What attacked? Can anyone confirm who the victims are? Be careful touching the remains. I think one is acidic

[ He doesn't want to say it, but he has a hunch who those people can be… ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org
TO: ALL

I'm also looking for a small group to help me locate some shai to copy. This isn't something I can do by myself. I have to get into physical contact with them

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org
TO: ALL

I understand it's very dangerous, but I think if I can gain their forms and learn them, it can help keep people safe. Especially now. If you think you can assist me, please let me know

[[ OOC: The people coming along with Ivan for this have already been decided, but please feel free to volunteer or call him crazy or whatever. Ivan will request that other volunteers stay behind to help protect camp from whatever attacked those people or to figure out just what happened. ]]

[oh gosh]

Looks like I wasn't hallucinating. I didn't see what attacked, but at least there didn't seem to be too many body parts.

[...maybe the rest of them was eaten... or it's less than 10 bodies.]

I could help with the Shai, too.

I'm hoping someone has some more information. I didn't notice anything of an attack until something fell on me...

You will? It's going to be dangerous, probably a lot more dangerous than the sharks

Well, we don't really have a night watch. Maybe we should start.

And hey, I'm made for danger! I'll be fine. Having a Shai on our side is long overdue, don't you think?

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

Didn't see what it was.

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

When are you going?

[ Terse because of the obvious. ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

You didn't either?

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

I'm hoping today before night comes again if at all possible

[ In case there is a round two with whatever attacked last night ]

[ He's not completely sold on this being a good idea right now, but - ]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

I'm at the outpost just off their territory. Been scouting.

[ Not that he thinks it was them but they have no more information yet, and camp has enough hands right now. ]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

Just Hanbei right now?

[ Sorry he read your messages.

Even if Kotetsu didn't ask Steve to look out for Ivan, he'd have volunteered anyway. ]

FROM: fair.zack@cdc.org

I didn't see it, either.

[ Which upsets him. A lot. ]

FROM: fair.zack@cdc.org

When you say "copy", do you mean "shape-shift"?

[ Another one who didn't see... What happened? ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

Yes, actually. I can shapeshift into things I've touched before

[ Something really gross. He wants to get to the bottom of it. ]

FROM: fair.zack@cdc.org

It's tricky getting close to them.

[ Mostly because the females vomit everywhere and the males like to pound things into the dirt. ]

FROM: fair.zack@cdc.org

If you need some helping getting out there, Point C was where I was dropped and the outpost I was assigned to.

FROM: mcneill.nathan@cdc.org

...flaming limbs aside, what do you mean by "copy" the Shai? If you're intending to fight them, though, you'll need someone who can withstand their strength.

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

I can copy their form to shapeshift into if I can touch them. It's something that I can do

FROM: mcneill.nathan@cdc.org

... wow. Uh, sorry, I'm still getting used to all these supernatural abilities a lot of you people have.

FROM: martin.lydia@cdc.org

I can't confirm who they are, but I think I have a good idea.

[ Knowing it was going to happen did absolutely nothing. And she hates it. Maybe they can at least do something now she can't. ]

FROM: martin.lydia@cdc.org

If you can help stop this, then do it. Just be careful I don't want us to lose anyone else.

[ That's exactly what he was afraid of... He doesn't know the specifics of what Lydia can do, but all this is enough to heed her warnings in the future. ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

I'll do my best to help, but I need to get stronger. I think I know how to

[ The next message comes after a small delay. ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

I'm sorry... Ms. Martin.

[ Sorry for a multitude of reasons. He didn't leave the medtent for quite some time after they talked, hoping for some better news, that those numbers hadn't been IDs like she feared. Those people never showed up on his tracker. ]

[ Lydia hopes she won't be having too many of those in the future, or at least ones that aren't so fatal. ]

FROM: martin.lydia@cdc.org

Is that what you meant by copy?

FROM: martin.lydia@cdc.org

I'm sorry too. I wish I could have done more.

FROM: krios.thane@cdc.org

I find it difficult to believe anyone at camp didn't see it. Whatever the means or the reason, it is far too visceral, too gruesome for any living creature to endure-- even in death.

--
FROM: krios.thane@cdc.org

Whomever they could be, they deserve a proper burial.

Edited 2014-08-15 06:40 (UTC)

[ And yet... no one is able to say what the attack was... Is it really possible that no one knows what happened to these people? ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

I agree. Burial, cremation, something...

FROM: krios.thane@cdc.org

Cremation might be easiest to engineer. The ground is so cold.

You're a shape shifter, huh?

[... He's not a huge fan.]

FROM: greed@cdc.org

Just be careful, if you shape shift into a Shai around here someone might attack you.

[Like probably everyone.]

Edited 2014-08-15 17:40 (UTC)

[ Unfortunately, Ivan is well aware how unpopular his power can be and what risks he's taking outing himself like this. However, he also thinks that the potential out weights his own privacy. ]

FROM: karelin.ivan@cdc.org

I know... but I have an idea that might help with that. I bought it on the Neheda for this reason

[ A red scarf will do the trick, right? ]
