It was only after the fact their electronic contact with the Nexus was restored and they started seeing the signs of something terrible having happened there. People were talking about zombies, a war, an attack, parasites, giants, Ganados.
And the name 'Saddler' was being dropped as well.
There was the momentary panic that Hippolyta had to talk him down from. Then the continued surveying of the damage, reading up on logs of the war, checking to see if anyone was talking about casualties or grevious injuries. Trying to figure out the overall aftermath and what was happening.
It was a few hours later when Sharpe contacted them again, leaving a message that he was going to be debriefing them over the whole ordeal, as well as a few others things and details. He was vague, which didn't help calm to growing sense of dread that Salazar was feeling roil up in his stomach.
Right now, he sits on the side of the bed, holding Hippolyta's hand in a nearly white-knuckle grip, staring blankly forward, waiting for Sharpe to show up and give his news.
