//private call//

[Bat is sitting in a corner somewhere, glaring into the screen with dark bags beginning to form under his eyes. It's taken him a while to give in and do this.]

"....Gale."

*after a good long while...since when does Bat call anyone directly, unless he's going to start the same nonsense he did with Heat...*

Yes?

[he obviously hasn't been sleeping, and he takes a moment to rub at his eyes with one hand]

I was... [oh this is taking such restraint] short with you earlier.

...I need an explanation.

*Wow. If Bat's trying to apologize, it must be serious. Probably something to do with that dream.*

It will sound...strange. But you must believe what I am going to tell you.

...everyone in the Junkyard is what is known as a "reincarnation". They are people who have died in "Nirvana", given life again. Although I am not sure if this has been so from the beginning, or something that only came after the demons.

[thinking back to the dream and the moment it ended... he couldn't have died then, surely]

So why were we trying to return to a place we'd died in?

[this makes so little sense, but he's willing to listen for now]

...they were selecting the most effective Tribe to be used to make their own soldiers more effective. Originally. A woman named Jenna Angel developed a demon virus...and she used the Junkyard to test it.

That's when everything changed.

[Used to... that didn't sit right with Bat at all.]

...Virus?

The demons that reside within us are the result of being infected with the Atma virus. It deliberately alters the host's DNA...just like a virus. It is a very tiny thing...too small to see with your eyes. Most are not sure if it is alive or otherwise. It exists only to replicate itself.

In this case, however, it is a specific electromagnetic wavelength.

*surely Bat would have knowledge of EMP, and its military applications, being programmed to be a military A.I. and all.*

...In Nirvana, the entity known as God has become enraged by the callousness and apathy of human beings. The sun has turned black, turning any human to stone when they try to venture out from underground. Demons are immune to this effect....which is why so many in Nirvana are infected themselves. Unlike ourselves, these people embraced this curse willingly.

[Now he's holding his head. This is a bit much.

...What was it Jinana had said about God...?]

Calling it a curse still... Heh.

[but that whole Nirvana thing] How did you... You couldn't have already been there... You didn't kill me...

We did.

And we reached Nirvana after we defeated Varin. It is how we know Roland. Or at least...we should. Time seems to mean nothing to this place.

S-shut up!

You left! I was still alive...!

What is the last thing you remember, Bat?

...

[He's very hesitant to admit this.]

I was... fading in and out of consciousness. On that damn boat. But I was alive, dammit. You didn't kick my ass that badly...

[Though they hadn't stayed to devour him, oddly enough...]
