DEPLOYMENT 4: We Built This City on Blood and Gore
[ACTION - A (Outside Mayfield Dairy, OPEN TO ALL)]
[On his first day in Mayfield, Caesar had asked Balin if he had any explosives or powers strong enough to destroy an armored building, referring to the attack made on the Dairy back in March. So today, while Mayfield is temporarily without a police chief, Balin is outside the Mayfield Dairy.]

...Sort of. I was trying to keep people out. [That means he was sided with Grady, but he doesn't really care what anyone thinks about it.]

[He looks back up at the Dairy.]
An'a Dairy'll just "respawn" like everyone else, huh ... Well, Grady ain't around to drone people now, right? [At least, he figures that Grady's the one who handles the droning, from what he read of Dist's pamphlet.] That's why they're lookin' for a new chief?

During that whole... April Fools bullshit, the place got leveled, but it was all a joke anyway. Here it is again, good as new.

[But right now, he's glancing back up at the Dairy.]
Oh, so they were just fakin' everyone out, then?
Has anyone tried attackin'a Dairy again with whatever weapons worked back when'at happened?

[Balin looks thoughtful as he visually scans the building one more time.]
I don't got my Logos Abilities back yet, but I'm hopin'a synthesize some explosives before'a new chief's sworn in. Or however they're gonna replace Grady. Kinda wish I had a workstation, though, I'd be able'a make some of'a heavy-duty explosive compounds I worked with back in'a AFS, like ONC an' shit.

Logos is a system for manipulating'a universe with a sentient mind. Well, that's'a human name for it, at least.

I ain't a Logos researcher, but from what I heard, the Eloh developed it after they discovered a "grand unified theory" or two we didn't figure out yet.

What kinda stuff you do with your magic?

[He lights up a cigarette and looks at Balin for a reaction. Peoples opinions are pretty varied on that second specialty set, and he's always curious as to what people will say.]

Though, necromancy-with somethin' like that, you sound like you'd be best buds with some of'a Exobiologists I know back home.
[After he says that, Balin's expression changes into a frown that says, "where have I heard this before?" He hasn't yet connected the dots that he's heard Theo on the phone last month.]

That so? It's not looked well upon where I'm from, and it's not very useful in Mayfield. That's why I began studying force.

[He glances back up at the building for a second, as if seeing if there might be some place in the Dairy's construction most vulnerable to that.]
Well, necromancy ain't a pretty topic-but'a Bane does it to us, an' our Exobiologists give as good as we get by rasin' their battlefield dead. And hey, nukes were just as much of'a taboo back before'a Bane nearly wiped us off'a map.
[Balin points a thumb at himself.]
An' now? I'm a walkin' WMD. Or-I am, when I got my Logos Abilities. Not so much at'a moment.
