"Magic is evil, you know this, I know this, everyone knows this, but we all pretend regular people who can spew fire or suck the life out of others are normal, and that's bullshit they aren't." The Colonel had let Therod put on her uniform and gather her things before they left. Brubaker was no where to be found, but Therod figured Keith had worked it out with him or she wouldn't be allowed to leave as easily as she did. They were now in another facility that appeared abandoned, but like a lot of the dark sites of the Empire was just hiding that it was a real place. Something Therod found out during the Bio war, a lot of bases were off the books, to keep the Emperor in the dark about a lot of awful shit.
"Isn't sanctuary to protect the magical?"
"No its the emperors stupidity thinking if he placates the bastards they'll not murder our people, history has proven this wrong time and time again and yet he and his family keep trying." Keith stopped and put his hand on a scanner. The wall opened up and a new hub of activity was revealed behind it, everyone wore the black Jackets that Keith did. They all seemed to have a task or something to be doing, and so they paid the Keith and Therod no mind.
"So your group kills them?"
"We identify threats and eliminate them before they can become worse. Like say Lieutenant Lorentino, next time he emerges we'll make sure to deal with him, I hope this isn't an issue for you."
"I think it would be the man saved my life."
"Only to put it more in danger by the bio threat, and his connection to his father means he's as evil as they come, don't you see Therod, these people are evil creatures not good natured humans! But you'll see that soon enough." He waved at a person behind her and she felt a needle insert into her neck. She tried to fight the drug, but it was a very high dose sedative and she collapsed.
"Welcome to your reeducation Sergeant Therod." The voice droned overhead, and Therod felt she probably made a mistake coming with the Colonel.
