[accidental video]
[When the communicator kicks on, it's in the middle of a complete madhouse. It's been dropped, but the screen has the clear image of a table clattering along the floor like some bizarre spider. Bits of debris left over from the earthquake will occasionally float up in the air before dropping back down. Baiken has her back turned to it all and is paying it absolutely no mind -- all her attention is focused on something off-screen, though the screams and sounds of roaring flame are perfectly clear over the communicator.
The woman is pale and wide-eyed with horror, slowly backing away from the thing she's staring at. In the harsh light reflected from the flames, she is very visibly shaking, her hand clamped onto her armless right shoulder as if to ward off a phantom pain. Just before the light fades and the sound stops, a little girl's voice can be heard shrieking "Kaa-san! Tou-san!"
Baiken staggers back another step, bumping into the possessed-looking table, which abruptly stops. She takes a few ragged breaths, still stiff with shock, before anger takes over and she's shouting at the wall that's just off-screen.]
Who... who the hell... WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKING IDIOTS THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE FUNNY, HUH?! Show yourselves! You goddamn piece of shit scientists, don't you fucking show me their faces!
[As Baiken spins, glaring into the darkness and searching for whoever made all this happen, shouting "Answer me!", the feed dies out and goes black.]
[[ooc: She's literally right next door to Joshua and his chip removal effects.]]
