The sun was slipping down over the horizon, the filthy orange light filtered through the trees and over the wall surrounding Stratclaw like a bad omen. The dust storms from the Wastes were blowing through Zhas’mir and getting caught amongst the trees, and Stratclaw was hazed over with dust. It was like watching the fog roll in, only it was particles of dust that flowed in as Northgate opened outward. The group of shadows that walked in started off appearing large, and as they entered, gates closing behind them, it became clear their purpose – the Infirmary.<br/><br/>“Let’s move!” Came the roar  from the figure in front – even Detta’s hair was hard to see through the layer of sweat and dirt that covered her, and the goggles and bandana that was over her face, but her barking voice was unmistakable. “Get those two into isolation NOW!” She ordered the two men with bodies tied up in rope slung over their shoulders. As they took off, Detta turned and looked at the other three members of her team, “You three, report to the coroner who we lost and why, and one of you get to Thane and tell him what happened out there. Let him know I’ll give an official report later. I have things to deal with. Right. Now.”<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w223/Mirrahs_echo/Anime%20Women/0011dl8-1.jpg)</div>Detta’s face turned to the last person that had come through the gate – a man in his mid twenties. When Detta strode toward him, the man froze, despite being taller than she was. When she got to him, her hands were on his collar and she audibly slammed him into Northgate, gripping him by the collar of his jacket.<br/><br/>“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A REAVER IS?! ARE YOU SUCH A FUCKING MORON THAT YOU THINK YOURSELF MORE SKILLED THAN AN ELITE?!” Her knee found his gut and the man doubled over, and she redoubled the attack. She grabbed him by the collar again and slammed him up against the heavy wood and metal doors again. No one interfered. No one was foolish enough to put themselves in harm’s way, especially where Detta was involved. The man coughed and lifted his head.<br/><br/>“We only saw one… we figured…” But his words were cut off by an openhanded slap across his face.<br/><br/>“You FIGURED?! Reavers travel in PACKS!! Just because you only<em>see</em>one, doesn’t mean it’s<em>alone</em>!!” She pulled him toward her and slammed him into the gate again. “They. Are. REAVERS!” She barked at him and then pointed toward the training area near Northgate, just to the east of inside the gate.<br/><br/>“Do you know what I teach my Scouts? They don’t encounter ANY Kreature on their own!! Are you as good as a Scout out in the field?!” He opened his mouth to answer and she winded him with a fist to his diaphragm. “No! You want to know what I teach my Elites? You don’t encounter ANY Kreature on their own!! Are you as good as an Elite?! NO!!” She got in his face. “And<em>every</em>single one of them knows that the only thing you do when you even<em>think</em>there’s a Reaver – YOU RUN!!!!”<br/><br/>She released him, letting him fall to his knees on the ground to catch his breath. She leaned down, shook her head and spoke in a vicious hiss in his ear, “I had to raise my sword… to three… of my people, because YOU decided you KNEW BETTER!!!” And she kicked him all the way to the ground on his side. She stood over him a moment. “You<em>ever</em>do that again… and I won’t give the Reavers a chance to get you… I’ll kill you myself.” And with that, the Field Leader strode off, heading toward the infirmary.<br/><br/>If those last two turned while in isolation, they were going to need someone to put them down. And Detta wasn’t going to wish that duty on anyone.<br/>
