He nodded slowly, "Well come on, we could use your help."

"I Watched you on C-SPAN, me and my husband thought you made a wonderful point." Fox caught herself and could hardly believe it she was socializing, after one man's speech she was making a... o my god a friend. "were up all hours of the night, we both have insomnia...well did."
She furrowed her brow a bit, not sure what the quick change to past tense was indicative of. Either they had cured their insomnia, or her husband was no longer with her. And she didn't exactly feel comfortable asking about either one.
"Well, it's always nice to know that our message is getting to the eyes and ears of the Western world," she smiled. She looked back toward the man who'd fired the gun. "He asked you to identify the casualties? Would you like some help?"
There were still bodies on the beach. Bodies that needed to be identified. The dead needed to be named, and thus less easily forgotten.

"What do you want me to do?"
"Well first off, you seem to know a lot about these... other people, do you know if they're close?"

"They are not nearby, to my knowledge, but they can't be too far away," he said, frowning. "They have very little warning, and they don't leave tracks. The only way to tell they're getting close is when you hear the voices. It's like the trees are wispering to one another, that's what it sounds like when they are close. The bottom line is, you have to be almost always ready, because it could be any time. I don't know why they came. I only saw that they had captured some of your people. Is that right?"

Fox nodded, she had to stop all this smiling. It was bad for her bitchy additude. "Sure, love some... Names Cassie." Extending her hand she shook the womens, who she now reconized as Etana.

ETANA
Etana shook the woman's hand in return, a bit ashamed of herself for not really speaking with anyone else up until now. The situation just seemed so surreal and frightening; the thought of getting to know her fellow survivors threatened to make things too real. But in the face of many uncertain dangers, they would need to pull together.
"Pleasure to meet you, Cassie," she greeted. She paused to scan the beach again. "This wasn't a stop I had planned on my tour. I think I really must speak with my assistant when I get back," she said, with a forced smile.
"But you seem fairly comfortable in these surroundings. Do you have experience with such things?" Etana asked, not really sure if she was referring to the part about being stranded on an island or the part about being attacked by a group of unknown assailants.

FOX "But you seem fairly comfortable in these surroundings. Do you have experience with such things?" indeed fox did, she had plenty experiance. fighting wild animals, armies and now she would fight a rouge band of people who crashed before them or whatever they are. But Fox had a life before Espionash, she was a teacher. But things change, and people change too. All it takes is one major event. 1985"Yes lots of Capture the Flag games at a local camp, kids always looking for tips and end up getting hurt. Have to be prepared." She smiled.

"Well, it seems there are many overgrown children who'll be needing your attention around here," she observed. "I have to deal with other members of Parliament all the time; I should be used to such strife."
She nodded toward Kyle. "The man with the gun--do you think he's a policeman? Military?"

Tilting her head to one side she sighed. "Military, is a good guess." She started to walk around to get names of the wounded and Injured. "But he could just be scared or something, who knows. People do the strangest things when there scared."

He was in deep thought, remembering that night then he nodded slowly, "Yeah... but you see that guy over there," he said pointing to the big guy, who for some reason decided to be mute, "He killed to of 'em."

"But he could just be scared or something, who knows. People do the strangest things when there scared."
Etana nodded, merely following Cassie's footsteps as she walked among the other survivors. "Do you think that was their purpose?" she asked. "The people who attacked us--do you think they wanted to scare us?"

"The people who attacked us--do you think they wanted to scare us?" FOx had no doubt, They wanted to show fear. to show they had the power, and they way they were taking the people at this camp the more they were showing domination.
"I believe they do, most of all i think they want us to fall in line."

"Fall in line?" she repeated. "What sort of line? I know there was talk of these people being here before us. Like we're encroaching on their territory. If we knew what they wanted from us, maybe we could negotiate..."
She let her voice trail off and shook her head. "Sorry. Politics is my native language sometimes. But given our situation, perhaps actions speak louder than words. I know it's important that we not lose anyone else."

"For some reason i think they don't want to Negotiate, but maybe your right..." fox wrote down a couple more names and smiled. "And its ok, Violence and bitchyness are mine." She nodded thou "And yes i think we need to be ready for them to attack again, if we lose more now, we don't stand a chance."

Compey sat himself down in front of the fire. God, he was terrified of those....people, from the jungle coming and taking him away. He would be less concerned if they took away the loudmouth.
People. So tiresome.
He stared at the fire. He should probably be doing something, but what? There was nothing he could do, so why even try?
Maybe this was just his own cowardice. But to hell with feeling ashamed (as he often did) he was one for self-preservation.

"Well," Aaron said, with a look of almost amusement on his face, "That's a start. Did you happen to notice which direction they came and left from?"

"That's a start. Did you happen to notice which direction they came and left from?"
He shook his head, "No idea," he looked around the beach, "No one even knew they were here, until we heard them screaming while they had their head smashed in," he pasued for a second, "Over there," he pointed to the egde of the jungle where there were bushes.

Skye frowned and joined the group of people, "What's going on?" She asked no one in particular.
She smiled at the young blonde woman who'd approached them, aware there had already been some friction between her and Cassie. "Oh, we were just discussing exactly how dire our situation is," Etana replied. "Would you care to weigh in on the subject?"
