Amber "It looks like the entrance to the campus grounds... though I don't remember that being here."

You "Because of the monsters?"
show herooperations 1 with dissolve
Herom "Yeah. Infrastructure is shot to shit with all the attacks. Especially lately, they seem to be targeting it specifically."
Herom "Worse are the monsters that can jam signals. We hunt them as quick as we can, but the fuckers are hiding in the most remote fucking places. We can't find them fast enough."
You "Sounds.... bad. Like they've got a plan."
Herom "Yeah, no kidding. The fucking things have been getting smarter and smarter lately."
Herom "I heard some of the lieutenants talking, they reckon they're trying to isolate us. Our level 5s may be strong, but if they don't know where the attacks are coming from, or that they're even happening, what can they do?"
You "What indeed...."
Herom "We humans are just way too reliant on our technology. We need to start doing that telepathic shit some of the monsters have to communicate."
You "Can we?"
Herom "We got a couple agents who can. Not enough though."
Herom "Anyway, seems like the system is fucked. Sorry [hname], doesn't look like I'll be able to get those names."
You "*sigh* Fuck... Do you know who might just know them?"
Herom "One of his lieutenants maybe? But they're all off site, we don't really have a method of communicating with them either..."
You "Hmm.... well, just leave a message for Xanthe then. Tell him I'm back and that I might be able to help him find Zack."
