[Not long before this thread. Rhade sounds like he's running, so he's breathy. He's actually using his subdermal mic at the moment, so he doesn't have to carry his communicator while he's getting to the stairwell.]

There's a dead body near Barnes's former room. The culprit is the X-5 known as "Ben." Do not engage him if you can help it. Perry, make sure Kozak is in a safe location. [He doesn't even bother with a filter there- what Ben did to Kozak isn't a secret.] I'll need him maneuvered into the stairwell and his exits blocked. I can more adequately engage him there. [He has his reasons.]

Be on the alert for more dead or wounded. Ben does not have his strength or speed back but he's been trained for murder since he was a child. If you see him, contact me immediately.

No, I'm not planning on shooting him.

...Not unless I have to. [But he sounds irritable and like he really doesn't want to. Someone does not like killing his friends, even when they're not Dylan.]

Transgenics have a weakness to electricity. I'm going to try to talk to him, and if he tries to remove either of our weapons-

[Rhade my be a Collector, but he still has a Force Lance.]

Understood. [Dylan's keeping his Force Lance out, and set to deliver an electrical charge.]

How strong is he? Are we talking Nietzschean level? Magog?

[All Rhade really has to do is drop his- he's counting on the DNA protection on the Force Lance and the fact he's never told Ben about it as a back-up plan.] Human level. I only returned his senses to him, not his strength or speed. I knew he wasn't stable enough for it yet.

But his mind is still primed to match that strength and speed, and he's been trained to do nothing but kill since he was a child.

I'll make sure I don't underestimate him.

You be careful, too. I don't want to spend tonight sitting over a hospital bed. If you need backup, you know I'm ready and willing.

Come to the stairwell. If it looks like he might try anything, you know what to do.

[Dylan might be suspicious of Rhade's brutal streak, but Rhade knows Dylan's is still there.]

I know.

[He's not happy about it, but he's killed a child soldier before, only a little younger than Ben. He'll do what's necessary if the worst should happen.]
