"Yep."

"Yep."

I know what you're doing. It's not a good idea. You're drawing attention here, which is something I don't want. The Remnant might come after you... And, by extension, me.

I do not appreciate your propensity for screaming, you've made enough of a scene.

// That's because they're not meant to kill. It's more of an attention-getter that leaves bruises; useful for riot control or diverting attention. State has something else several times more lethal that he would have used if the thing got too close.
"...I am unsure what just happened, but I do not think I want any part of it. That... Reaper... Looked a bit too much for us to handle." State re-holsters his 'gun' and dismisses the shield. "At least I did not have to switch clips." He walks over to the unconscious Guard.

Hearing the call for backup and a medic on her public services scanner, Danu quickly puts her gardening tools aside and rushes to the scene.

She arrives just as State is looking over the unconscious guard, wearing a soft white gown and weathered straw hat. Kneeling beside him, Danu immeadiately peforms triage and first aid where possible while determining his condition.

"Oh I know whose that is. He belongs to Raziel. Who should be somewhere nearby, if that Gryphon is wandering here. What's all this talk about a Reaper though? I thought I heard someone mention it as I was running this way."

All sensors within the room suddenly failed at once now, all equipment used to check and keep track of it.  Even the damping field showed as having failed in the room, the door seemed to almost fuse with the walls around it if any guards or other such were to attempt gaining entrance.  And a little over an hour later.  All systems in the room returned to nominal and flipped on instantly as the door opened.  Out stepped Zeurei with a still fresh red stain covering the front of his robe, and he sat against the wall, a smile on his face.  He seemed in slight pain, but he moved with no urgency, like this was a normal thing.  In his left hand he held a large purple shard almost 20 times the size of the one he'd gone in with.  He left no blood where he sat down.  And finally he checked around himself.  After all, he'd realized he'd accidentally disabled their systems in the room.  No emergency alarms would go off, no hazards would be detected.  In the room sat a small blood stain in the middle, and a single jutting formation of the purple crystals nearby, one jutting tip stained slightly red.  The blood effused minimally into it at that tip.
