There's more than one threat facing America right now - not only is it the home of Keijen Blade, who has ascended to godhood and begun summoning an army of dark creatures to his beck and call, apparently, but what's perhaps more insidious: the President has declared all Shadowkind to be suspect as a result, and vowed to try to run anyone from another dimension out of the borders.  While figuring out how to do that, particularly when these new residents basically drop in from the sky sometimes, he's ordered all Shadowkind rounded up in internment camps until the 'crisis' passes.  Some Shadowkind have gone willingly, out of an optimistic hope that it might actually make things go more easily for them, but others have been gathered up from their homes and businesses.  

S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Knights have decided to investigate one of these camps for themselves, in hopes of finding a way to liberate it and make a statement to the government and people, ideally getting these people safely out of the country.  Hasmed and Solace have sent in a small force of Knights to scope out the situation.   They arrive in Wyoming via a stealth jet from S.H.I.E.L.D. that releases them up the road several miles out.  A van waits for them there.

It's... big. I mean, I can't believe they're sending five of us for something like this. But it's important.

From what I've seen, they're pretty good at matching up the right skillsets for what needs to be done. I just hope we can do something to help. No one deserves to be taken from their homes just for being different.

[ that earns a thoughtful look from her as she considers him carefully ] ... No, they don't.

[He actually notices the way she's looking at him (spot 16). But really doesn't get what it might mean (sense motive 4)]

What? Starting to have second thoughts about all this?

[loisfuckinglane]

Just the opposite, really. [ she glances back a second over her shoulder, her voice low as she adds: ] Look, I don't want to push, and this is probably not the time either but at least we're out of spy radar range...

Are we ever going to talk about it?

[theblur]

[He's been so mission focused that the question completely throws him and he can't recall what she's talking about (wis crit fail. bless his heart.)]

I know I screwed up when we were sparring, but if you're worried about me hurting someone out in the field, you don't have to be. I'm going to be careful.

[ she just assumes that he's trying to brush her off again. it causes a pang but with a nat 20 will save, she again pushes it all down and pretends that yep, that's what she meant all along ] No, I know that. Forget I said anything.
