[pm] As long as there is still good left to fight, that there are still warriors to stand against evil and say ‘you shall not pass’ then no loss is truly in vain, no matter the unfortunate and terrible pain it may cause.

I thank you- you fought most brilliantly also. You were very brave and true to the cause; it was an honour to fight alongside you.  

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] I do what I can. But thank you. 

Will you be signing up? They've reworking the law, it seems. For the better. If anything good coming from this damn apocalypse, it looks like an understanding has been met. I'll be heading over there shortly. 

[takenwings]

[pm] It is an unfortunate truth of battle and war. There are losses, and they are felt greater by those who knew and loved them best, but we cannot escape them, but only hope they did not die in vain. 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] Yes, no, I certainly hope not. We've lost too many to the cause. I refuse to believe any of it was in vain. 

I'm glad you're safe though. You fought valiantly out there.  

[takenwings]

[pm] There are many who are not so lucky- have you heard about what happened to Dawn….? 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] I.... yes. Unfortunately. I never knew the girl, but I was aware she was loved by many. Such a tragedy. I feel so badly for it all.

[pm] That sounds brilliant, Renee. Yes, both of you; grab weapons and go. Pen is apparently taking her ‘unit’ to the front line and Buffy and Wesley are already there. I’m sending more out as they are ready and I’ll follow on once everyone is covered. 

I wish you all the best Renee. 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] And to you, Maggie. 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] Direct them towards Anya; she’s taking charge of the exit strategy before returning to the fight. Of course, if you’d rather jump right in, Jayan is eager to go and fight now. 

And I would never think you were running away Renee. 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] I'll stay then, if Anya's got it under control. I'll let anyone know where to go should I hear anyone wanting to get out. If Jayan's ready to go, I'll grab some weapons and her and we'll head out. 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] Those who wish to stay and fight must arm themselves and groups dispatched, and those who wish to leave must be guided out of the city. Preferably out of the country, but getting them up north should be enough for the moment. 

What do you wish to do, Renee?

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] I can direct people out as quickly as possible. Get them safe, set them up, so then I can come back and fight should you need me to. I don't want you to think I'm running away either. 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] Arm ourselves, prepare ourselves and try and find out who it is who is performing this ritual. Anya told me it’s to allow a dying man to gain immortality…is there a way to find medical records on government officials? It would have to be one of the higher ups to influence such a strong law change so we wouldn’t have to search through everyone. 

And it seems they can’t just up and leave; from what Pen tells me the security is highly strict. Though Illyria told me she broke Wesley out the other night so it isn’t impregnable. But apparently both Gen and Estela are determined to stay in the place. 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] Right. I'll do some research. See what I can find out. I'll let you know as soon as I do. 

We'll get them out, Maggie. 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] It seems a little coincidental if they’re not behind it. I don’t know whether the army are just some hapless puppets in the whole thing, or whether they’re behind it all, but someone in the government has to be connected. 

And I might be saying that……yes. 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] We've got to do something then. I can't imagine they can leave, can they? No, no of course not. Is there anything else you've heard? 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] Isn’t it always? Sunshine, lollipops….rituals requiring the blood of a Slayer….

Apparently it requires the blood of a Slayer to be willingly given. Which Gen tells me is exactly what they did on their first day with M1-12.

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] You're kidding me? Are you alluding that the government is behind this? Maggie I do hope you're not saying all of those girls signed themselves on to start the end of the world? 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] Are you hurt?

[pm] No I'm fine. Are you?

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] Yes, no weapons that can’t be hidden easily. The government may be absolute idiots but I doubt they’d fall for the ‘It’s a Civil War Re-enactment prop’ explanation. At least I don’t think they would….

And being forced to join that flamin’ M1-12 is only going to stop us from doing our job so…surreptition it is. As long as we’re not too obvious and don’t wear our Slayer and Watcher badges I think we should be fine. I hope we will. 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm]

No, we won't be doing that. I'll see you soon Maggie. 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] The thought of someone crazed and evil opening a Hellmouth behind our backs while we were all asleep? What could be more comforting? 

I’m going right now actually; do you want me to pick you up on the way? 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] That'd be great, thanks. Suppose I should refrain from bringing the big guns. I haven't gotten around to registering yet myself. Last thing I need is someone from the government spotting me running around with a sword by a possibly open hellmouth. 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] I think you’re right; presumably we’re all either stuck in the army, in hiding, or out of the country. It seems to me as though any demon or slightly insane power-crazed human would see it as the perfect opportunity to open the gates of hell. 

Anya and I are going to be looking around near the epicentre, and I know Buffy plans to do the same. Do you fancy lending a hand with reconnaissance or research at all? I’m hoping you’re going to say yes? 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] Such comforting thoughts, aren't they? 

Of course. When do you plan on going? 

[pragmaticsurvivora-deactivated2]

[pm] I think, considering we’re on a Hellmouth it’s less of a jump and more a generous stride. It looks strongly like someone may have opened the Hellmouth- though God knows why or who. 

[geeksquadslayer]

[pm] Someone who obviously didn't think there was enough chaos in London as it was. Could be the very reason it was opened now though. 

[geeksquadslayer]

madmaggiewells replied to your post:[pm] Are you alright Renee? After the Earthquake I mean?

[pm] Well that’s good at least. And things are hectic. Kennedy and I are gaining house guests by the minute it seems. What did you think of the Earthquake? Any thoughts?

[pm] I hate to jump to conclusions, but we do live on a hellmouth...
