[Also livid at Scout!]

What the hell are you doing?

[freakinblur]

... checkin' out Westport?

She already went Major General on Pyro, SCOUT'S TURN.

[wristsniper]

I've already been there. There's nothing to see. Why in the hell do you all insist upon going?

[freakinblur]

Cuz I wanna see it fer myself? There can't be nothin', can there? An' if there's nothin', why ya worried?

[wristsniper]

You're all idiots.

You get the same ultimatum as Pyro. 6PM tonight, I'm dragging you all back, dead or alive. Understood?

[freakinblur]

C'mon, Major Gen'ral, we're professionals. Whattaya so jumpy 'bout? ...what the hell happened over there?

[wristsniper]

[A pause. It's kind of like that moment right before the water starts boiling, where the bubbles have started to make a hissing noise, but it's not quite a full roil.] Nothing happened.

You're all too reckless.

[freakinblur]

Yeah well, guess I'll have ya check it out fer myself then. Better that the people who're equipped fer any kinda crap they can throw at us check it out, right? I don't wanna be in tha dark if shit's gonna hit the fan here.

[wristsniper]

I've seen enough.

Are you at least taking someone with you?

[freakinblur]

Me, Double-F an' Lorna so far. Maybe Engie too.

Ya SURE there ain't somethin' I should know before I get there?

[wristsniper]

There's nothing there, Scout. It's like hundreds of people died and simply disappeared in the middle of some sort of bloodless riot. You'll find nothing more interesting than that, and their various unbloodied methods of death.

It doesn't feel right.

[freakinblur]

…

Damn. How big is the town? Did ya check out everythin'?

[wristsniper]

I saw enough from the car. We investigated the schools on foot, and I went to the park. It's like a mirror image of Mayfield.

[freakinblur]

… creepy. I wonder how long till they bring the carnage ta Mayfield.

[wristsniper]

I don't think it'll be long. That's why we all need to be here.

[freakinblur]

…awright. I won't stay long.
