[Fiona is a little out of breath, like she just hustled very quickly away from somewhere. Which she did, but that's neither here nor there. The background behind her is some innocuous wood panelling; she's in a house.]

Okay. So. Crunch time. Things are getting nuts out there, if you didn't notice. We are gonna wind up super screwed if we don't hop to figuring out what the hell to do.

[She holds up a vial. It has some alien writing on it, as well as a familiar symbol on the label.]

We found this inside the hospital. A shit-ton of them, actually. So who wants to find out what Zymandis asshole is responsible for this mess and beat an antidote out of them?

You work on something from your end, and hopefully they'll end up fitting together neatly. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Eggs in a few baskets. We need to side-step the zombie apocalypse, after all.

...

No movie really ends like that, does it?

No, not really. There's rarely a happily ever after with mass pandemics.

We're gonna have to see about righting that.

( there's too many lives at stake to give up. which means he can't contribute much to the Zymandis search, though if someone is found? he really does hope they've got information worth sharing. )

Good luck with your interrogation. If you can even call truth sword compelled information gathering that.

You... don't have to stab him with it, do you?

( this is probably the stupidest thing Peter has said out loud in awhile. )

A little poking should do the trick.

[ but that won't keep him from stabbing if it becomes necessary. Gram didn't need much provocation to elicit the truth. ]

I don't plan on killing him, if that's what you're asking.

( damn it. he was really hoping for a wave it around and get the truth magical sword. apparently not even magic can be that simple. )

I don't really enjoy the idea of torturing for information, even if you're certain to get it. Glad to hear it about the no killing, that's more than some of our team can boast.

( mildly infected parker has no shame in throwing shade, apparently. )

[ his voice gets cool. ]

Assumptions, assumptions. No one gets tortured from the blade itself. It's not the scrapes and cuts that the pointy end may inflict. The blade seeks the truth—not just the easy part of the truth—the lies and falsehoods that people tell themselves.

If he's tortured, it's by the truths that he hasn't faced.

[webdesigned]

If you say so.

( he doesn't sound convinced. cutting your way to the truth isn't that much different from trying to beat your way to it, though it's hard to have a leg to stand on when the information would be valuable.

nobody ever said he had to like it, though. )

[selfimage]

Don't concern yourself too heavily for it. We are relying on you, after all.

[ he doesn't sound too fazed, but not ungrateful, either.

it's a rare thing, take it, Peter. ]

( he should technically be used having to carry the hopes and fears of others. maybe it just won't ever get easier. )

Yeah. We're working on it. All of us are. ( he will take it, and with that reminder, he sighs. ) I better get back to it.
