Tarran Smith, Aaron WhiteTarran stared at the Immortal completely dumbfounded.
"...What. I don't understand. Dominique is alive? The Father is actually helping us? And how do I know you're not lying?"
Spike and gun in hand Aaron walked towards the conversation and peeked in.
His sanity really wished he never had, watching an human with no marks of being from the base? Ok.
An Immortal? Better stab that with the nice spike and call the guys, or check if its an rotten one.
The human trying to hurt the parlaying Immortal? The. Bleeding. Hell.
Ah well, feet first as dad used to say.
"IMMORTAL" was the only thing he roared, it would get the team here "STOP WHAT YOU TWO ARE DOING NOW!"
Tarran gets halfway through what he was trying to say before Aaron works through enough of his amazement to act. The former wrench jockey's sudden shout, coupled heavily with the pistol and the bloodstained spike of bone in his hand, freezes the conversation solid.
[Aaron observation 4] The man the immortal was talking with is armored, albeit in a heavily battered suit that looks to be about as much protection as wet paper, and heavily armed. Very heavily armed. He's carrying an assault rifle in hand, two more long rifles slant across his back, and a submachine gun is belted on either hip. Unless Aaron took him by surprise, or got very lucky, there's not a lot of doubt who would end up as paste. The immortal, strangely, seems to be lacking in iron, though they can be dangerous enough without.
[Tarran Observation 1] Tarran's dumbfoundment is compounded exponentially by Aaron's sudden arrival. He stares at him, turns to stare at the immortal, then stares back Aaron without actually doing anything beyond verifying that reality was still intact. Impossible as that seemed.
The sound of running feet comes from hallway behind Aaron.

James EvanJames didn't respond with talking- he wasn't wont to trust or talk to immortals. Instead, in an astounding display of a lack of forethought, he decides to try to beat it up. With Simone's Song.
James, faced with a strange and dangerous situation that lacks a normal solution, defaults to using Occam's razor. Or, in his case, Occam's fist mounted fifty caliber. [Melee 2 Vs Dodge 5+1] Despite being pressed up against James, the Immortal manages slide sinuously out of the way of Jame's fist. [Immortal Melee 5+1 Vs James Dodge 5] The immortal knocks James arm out of the way and throws an elbow. James almost manages to slip it. almost. [Immortal brawl 4] (Shield -10, stamina -11) The jarring force of the immortal's armored elbow slamming into his temple sends twinkling stars across James' vision. Staggering, he takes a few steps backwards and gets his fists up defensively. The immortal just resumes a normal standing position, looking down at James without expression.
"I have not been sent to harm you." It pauses, then reiterates its earlier statement with all the emotional inflection of a lopped recording.
"I have been sent to guide you."---
