PAARTHURNAX!

[The urgency in Colin's tone was evident. He'd taken another bath to get the blood off him, but that scent was unmistakable.]

I need you, we need to hunt!




[Now that Colin had enlisted his air support, it was time to get a strike team. He had no snacks for bribery this time, just an eerie look of serenity on his face as he headed to the monument to track down some heavy hitters. He snagged his amplifier from his lab, so that when he speaks, he's not going to be hard to hear.]

HEY! I need our big guns out here, post-haste! We've got a mission, search and destroy time!

[Dare you approach?]

I don't mean to imply any sort of weakness, Colin, but what do you have in mind if you can't stop someone? Or worse, the majority of the group end up not listening to you.

[It's not that he distrusts the others. Far from it. He knows from personal experience that emotions on something like this can run very high. If it wasn't for wanting to protect Nina from monsters, as well as Balio and Sunder, he likely would have never used his powers as a child.]

I do have one other concern. If we capture or kill this one, what would stop its friends from taking revenge against us? I don't know much about the Gasfellas, but if they're smart enough to use weapons, it wouldn't be a far stretch to think it might be possible.

No offense taken. I'm not the best fighter here, not by a long shot.

But appearances aren't everything, and I've got tricks up my sleeve that the people here can't even fathom. Along with some strong backing. I believe Paar and I are of the same mind on this one. Even if people want to run afoul of me, I doubt anyone wants to run afoul of him.

[He's done calculations here that most people probably wouldn't want to be privy to, or even know that he'd even actually done them. He's confident that even in the face of a full mutiny, he could come out on top.]

That's not an unwarranted concern. And if the thing has gone to ground with those of its kind, it's unlikely we'll be able to dig it out, no matter how many people we bring.

That said, I intend to make very clear what crimes this thing has committed against us. And these things do understand us. Even if it has an entire city backing it... I will be putting them on notice.

[He suddenly grows more grim.]

I may not look like much, but I'm not someone that anyone wants to have as an enemy, and this things' actions are a threat to all of us.

Then I'm really glad you've been thinking this through. It makes me feel a bit better to lend my sword to your cause.

[Having seen just how big Paarthunax is? Yeah, he's gonna agree with that sentiment.]

I hope we can come up with a way everyone can communicate reliably. It seems like both of our chances to survive would be way better if things like this didn't happen.
