[i]Taken power, in the hands of a fallen house? And Petra said fallen with vex technology is a danger to the system. Who knows what a fallen house will do with that power. This exploration mission turned into a much more dangerous situation. There's no room for error in such a perilous situation, tantamount to walking in a minefield with no ghost. [/i] D: Uh huh... So what you're telling me here is that you, fallen kell, once gifted by the great machine as you call it, now have a strong bond with the darkness? That's... Interesting.

"I guess so. We study its affect on various creatures and machines, and then untake them. Still making a word to replace 'untaking' though."

D: Interesting. So, excuse me for asking, you won't be "taking" anybody will you? I mean, I've spent only a month with these guys and frankly they've grown on me.

"No, of course not. And if I do, I can untake them."

D: Oh good, for a minute there I thought I would have had to part with these. You, dreg. Come here. [i]One of the dregs in David's team slowly goes to David. The fallen of House of Hornets don't call him an unusual kell just because he's a guardian, rather they also refer to him as unusual since he shows compassion and kindness on a melodramatic scale for the fallen. As the dreg approaches, David hugs him as a mother hugs her child. Both are in the awkward embrace for a few moments too long and David releases the Dreg and gives him a kiss on his forehead. The dreg walks back to where he was standing, horribly confused.[/i] D: You are blessed child. Go now kind dreg. As you were. [i]The dreg stutters in confusion of what happened to it and leans on the vandal standing next to him. Awkwardly, the vandal consoles the dreg.[/i]

"Interesting."

D: Well I think we should be heading out to out own ketch. I guess this is farewell.
