[Video] Confusion...

[erranthero]

[A few weeks ago, Kerra had just felt like she needed a break, to get away from all of it. And maybe see if Wanda's idea about the pods was true, so, she'd just gone back, and now she was just waking up.

A cursory scan of the network reveals nothing, but she knows that's not true. Something feels off, here.]

Guh...so...okay. Hey. It's Kerra, and I'm back.

[She looks tired, kinda grouchy, and thankfully clothed.]

Anyone mind catching me up to speed on what's going on? Took a little time in the pods. Needed to clear my head, and it feels like I've been gone a while.

Hit me, either here, or I guess at home. Maybe the bar.

Something to do with those pods we all woke up in.

[The implications remind him of someplace else. And... aren't really pleasant]

I've heard of it happening a couple times before, here. Takes a few days but then they're back in the pods as if nothing had happened.

[erranthero]

That...is pretty kriffed up, Wes.

[She takes the drink she'd gotten and downs it in a gulp.]

How many?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

About a dozen of ours.

[He looks down at his drink, as if it might be able to explain things]

Over a hundred civilians, after the toxin finished its work.

[erranthero]

Damn. Anyone we know?

[She shakes her head and calls for another drink.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Luke.

[He'd tried to talk him out of it. Got him to take a support role. It wasn't enough.]

Alenko. Christine. And too damn many of the kids.

[erranthero]

...Luke?

[Kerra blinks, her eyes wide. That...was not good. Not good at all.]

You're...kidding. All of them? What the kriff!.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

They're all up and about again. But it was a mess.

[There is a reason he insisted this should be explained over drinks]

Those creatures were like nothing we'd ever seen before.

[erranthero]

I...believe you, Wes.

[She stared down at her own drink for a moment.]

Describe em?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Big and spikey. They looked like bone, but it wasn't brittle at all.

[Would have been too easy]

One almost looked like a spider. Except even on Kashyyyk they'd say it was too big. One was just a giant ball of spikes. THat one could fling the spines.

[erranthero]

And how'd you guys kill them?
