Next Day:
" Next time you learn some new weather, a heads-up before you
unleash it would be great. " sabi ni Raelle habang basang basa sila nina Tally at Abigail
" It was a reflex action. I learned it last week. In Weatherwork. " sabi ni Abigail
dumating naman si Scylla with Lex, Billy and Willa.
" what the hell happened? " nakangiting tanong ni Billy
" try to ask abigail " sabi ni Raelle
" what happen?. bakit basa kayo?
" tanong ni Willa
" i try weatherwork that i learned last week " sabi ni Abigail
" I hate that we're on separate tracks now. " sabi ni Tally
" It's supposed to make us better soldiers. " sabi ni Abigail
" Try wetter soldiers. " sabi ni Raelle
" you look like a puppy asshole " sabi ni Lex
" yeah " sabi ni Raelle
" My Sight was a mess today, too. I just can't stop thinking about that redacted soldier from the photo. " sabi ni Tally
" Maybe she messed up. Just because something's need to know doesn't mean it's a mystery. " sabi ni Abigail
" How's witchbomb testing? " tanong ni Scylla
" Izadora wants me to try and sing Seeds to make it go off without
me having to die, so " sabi ni Raelle
" Don't knock the process. You've got the opportunity to do something completely new. To make your own name for yourself. That's huge. " sabi ni Abigail
" I can't even speak one full sentence in Mothertongue, you know?. And that's basic war college stuff. So whatever's happening with me, it's.. " sabi ni Raelle
" If you say advanced, I'm gonna throw a waterspout at you again. " sabi ni Abigail
" Hey, You got this. okay? " sabi ni Willa
" walang mangyayari sayo " sabi pa ni Willa
" okay " sabi ni Raelle
" Let's go " sabi ni Abigail

Circe Barracks:
pagdating nina Raelle ay nakita nila ang isang Old Lady.
" Who's the old lady? " tanong ni Raelle kay Abigail nang pabulong.
" The old lady is the Imperatrix. " sabi ni Emperatrix
" The Matriarch of the Imperative. Not only am I responsible for the growth and continuation of witch bloodlines, I can flatten you to pulp with any number of Workings before you knew what had hit
you. " sabi ni Imperatrix at lumapit kay raelle
" You must be our Outcross. The Fixer with the rebellious streak. " sabi ni Imperatrix
" What's an outcross? " tanong ni Raelle kay Scylla
" Means your mom crossed lines with a civilian. " sabi ni Scylla
" Are you our Matrifocal daughter? " tanong ni Imperatrix kay Tally
" Yes, ma'am. " sabi ni Tally
" Matriarch " sabi ni Imperatrix
" Matriarch. Yes, Matriarch.
Sorry. " sabi ni Tally
