You approach the corpse just as the Crusaders are about to set it alight. They glance toward's their commander, in question, but he gives a nod. You cannot tell if its Eric or not-- the gas mask helmet combo makes them all look very similar to one another.
[20][15][11] You work swiftly, carving out a chunk of flesh and wrapping it tightly in a case of silicon. You separate the water vapor within and hold a small ball of fire around it. Nothing happens. You think you've successfully contained it. You walk away as they douse the whole corpse the best they can, a soldier stepping away to fire his las-gun at it. Its engulfed in blue and green flames, with a noxious smoke rising from it.
You form a neat handle with fresh silicon, and pass it over to a Warmachine as you and the squad leave the battleground behind. There's one final cheer for you, a 'Hail Alphira' that echoes down the line.
The command post is still in tatters, but those injured are working to put it back together. Your hovercrafts drop down as you address the Captain, who, you're quite sure, isn't Faith. The Captain nods, "I will try not to make a habit of it. But please note that we are not trained for rescue operations. Our primary task is, and was, purely rapid assault. We have some training to keep us alive longer, but medic work is not something we can do easy." He flexes his massive fingers to you in a wave as he loads the sample into a craft and settles into another.
[1 vs 9] The ride back to the Holy City takes an hour -- and its thirty minutes in when you realize that your fists are clenched tightly enough into your hands that you're drawing blood with your fingernails. That's when you notice the dancing blackness on the edge of your vision; shadowy figures of dusty gray.
