When a woman moves into the sleepy town, it rouses everyone's tongues to start wagging. She is strange and distant in her manner. Tia Frost is blissfully unaware of the townsfolk's discomfort with her. With Burt at her side, she wonders about the wo...

There was a cultist in a snare trying to gingerly take his bleeding foot out of the trap. I watched him not seeing any others around. I knew he wouldn't go anywhere anytime soon. More shots in the distance told of a gunfight. I saw the cultist's gun lying just out of reach of his hand. I could grab that.... if he sees me I will have to attack him, but a gun is better than a snapped stick.
I crept closer while he was distracted by his foot and lifted the gun carefully. He didn't see or hear me as I crept back to where I'd come from.
Another cultist ran through stopping as the one in the trap called out to him. They both wore different colours and the second cultist shot the first "Time to be reborn."
Grate so that's an ex-sky member. More shots rang out and the ex-sky member looked off towards the tunnels. He ran off in the other direction and I went in the direction of the tunnels.
I must get to... I froze seeing a cultist standing by one of the tunnel entrances. I raised my gun slowly and aimed it at them.
They moved and saw me. I started to squeeze the trigger when they dropped their gun and made a triangle at me. I watched suspicious of them.

I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and turned. It was Tia, relief filled me and was quickly quashed. Blood ran down her face and there was a wet patch on her side. They hurt her!
Her gun came up and I dropped mine. I made the triangle that Tobin would make at her. There was a slow drip drip sound of her from her hands as blood dropped to the leaves below her. Why are her hands bleeding? What do I do to tell her who I am? What was that hand sign that means are you safe?
I made a square with my hands. To my shock, she replied with a quick succession of one-handed gestures. I pointed at myself and then made an M with my hands. She shifted a bit and I lowered the hood of my cloke slowly. She lowered her gun and moved closer. Her movements were different to the last time I saw this crouched walk she did, it was like she was dragging one of her legs. She stopped close to me and opened a hatch I hadn't seen before. I could smell the blood on her now she was close.
