As if the adventure couldn't get stranger, here they were, looking at a tall, dark, and petrifying Drekker, casually standing on the corner of Union Street. Since neither two were sick, it disregarded them as nothing more, lest they antagonize it, and have it come after them with disdain.
There's no way that Samuels Argyle knew anything about the Drekker and there's no chance he'd know what they looked like, either.
How the stolen equipment interpreted what the Drekker is and looked like, it's a tossup that it overheard Theodore and Lila talking about the creature and drew from that... or something more.
This Drekker, it's tall, taller than Theodore, that he deduced it's one of the big ones, something deeply imprinted in him since he encountered it back at UNIT's base.
"What do we do?" Lila whispered to him as her eyes never moved away from the Drekker as it remained stationary.
Thinking, Theodore tells her that if the equipment interpreted what the Drekker is, it may've picked up on what makes it attack people.
Since they're not sick, not threatening or aggravating the Drekker, it means they can pass without issue.
"Just don't look it in the eyes," Theodore warned her not to look the Drekker in the eyes as they pass by it, lest it take issues with that.
Lila's feet dug in as she heard they must move forward, past the Drekker, but Theodore reminded her that the Drekker doesn't have any reasons to attack them.
"And there's no reason for it being here, either, but here we are," Lila murmured as she begrudgingly walked with Theodore, her heart beating against her chest, her arm clung to his as they braved themselves, walking opposite of the Drekker, eyes forward, and their hearts beating loudly.
Theodore comforted Lila as he held her hand over his arm with his free hand, as he led them forward, closer to the Drekker, now, trying hard not to look it directly in the eyes.
In the database, apparently, one of the unwise things to do when dealing with one of these things's looking at it directly in the eye, it could construe as a challenge or a threat, may even charge at them just to see what they'd do.
Getting their untoward attention's, a dangerous prospect, that it's safer not to cross eyes with one, especially the aptly dubbed big ones, as they aren't hesitated in attacking any threats to their flocks.
Their legs wobbling, Theodore and Lila forced themselves to continue, as they're directly across from the Drekker, now, hearing it as it chattered.
Nearly leapt in the air when they heard a man scream and the Drekker turned its head, the beak swaying in the breeze as it cut through it, its dagger eyes squarely on a man in the distance, wearing the plague doctor costume.
Theodore and Lila halted in their spot, frozen in fear, as they heard a low hiss coming from the Drekker.
His hand firm on Lila's, Theodore heard the low hiss into a guttered growl, as he sees the man in the plague doctor costume recoil in fear, his heavy breathing echoing inside the mask.
Al mentioned the Drekker weren't keen on seeing people dressed in that outfit, how he mentioned an incident where someone gotten killed over it, and Theodore sees that they're witnessing something like it, only there's no way to save the man, due to him and the Drekker being a simulation.
He hoped.
Instinctively, Theodore grabbed Lila and held her close as he heard the Drekker gave chase after the man as he panicked before running away as the Drekker went after him.
