[voice]

I've been through this before. I've been targeted on a hit list like this, precisely five days before I arrived in this world.

I guessed from the wording of the Null broadcast that some people might not have seen that they were named as targets. Consider this fair warning to everyone in this city: the Null would rather kill you than work with you.

[a pause, and then his tone turns positively savage]

As I did before, I'll do again. My only target is the one putting out the hit list. I will destroy the Null and anyone who tries to kill us. Anyone who'd foolishly sacrifice our chances of getting home for this death game should be dealt with, and I have no problem doing so.

[addendum message, five minutes later:]

I've been blocked from the message. Anyone who was quick enough to copy it, we'd appreciate a public airing of the names on the list.

[It does not take her too long to respond to this, though she comes at it from another direction.]

I do not wish to kill anyone, but I would be more than willing to help protect anyone on that list who is not capable of protecting themselves.

[he recognizes the voice, to a point]

...what can you do? Not that I want to be in charge but I assume anyone and everyone who wants to help should organize somehow.

[She is very much going to not refer to the unfortunate incident during which they met, i.e., the paintball compulsion event.]

I have a gun. I am a good marksman. I am skilled in several forms of martial arts. If someone were to attack, provided they are in any way like humans, I know where to strike to stop a person without killing or irreparably hurting them.

[Resume over.]

[he hasn't forgotten, but hey, that's actually a good resume. Thanks Brennan]

Good. I'm not going to be so arrogant to assume that only people with powers and abilities are any use here. Sounds like we're going to need anyone who can so much as throw a punch.

[She is aware. c: ]

I agree. This is no time to disparage others' skills. My career has been built on giving victims of murder and genocide back their identity. I cannot allow one such event to take place without making any attempt to intervene.

Gear up and collect some ammo, then. I have a feeling that not everyone in this cave is going to stand up to protect one another.

I am ready. All I need to know is where to go, and who needs help.

[She is not used to not being in charge, but in this case, it is clear she is not at the helm. It would be inefficient to act independently. A coordinated effort will serve them all far better.]

Mm. Likewise. This isn't a time for me to be left back at the clinic waiting to treat people. I'm a fighter, I can and will do everything I can.
