The effects of being risen by one of the queens seem to have faded completely. I have recovered the ability to use my aura as well as semblance and can function and speak normally.

[onerthes]

If that is the case, we'll welcome you back to active duty. But, if you're still suffering that abysmal flu, try to take it easy on that. It doesn't go away for a little while.

[winter_abdicated]

I'm a little sore, but I can still perform the duties entrusted to me.

[The fever was mild, and Rei had already had her spend a few days in bed recovering. Winter couldn't continue to remain idle.]

[onerthes]

All things considered? Good. That effect can be a lot harder for some to slip through. And I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

You seem the sort to be better equipped to strengthen yourself back to full health on your feet.

[winter_abdicated]

There isn't much time for recovery or bed rest for specialists of the Atlas military. I've had to deal with recovering during battle before, and I'm certain that I'll have to once again in the future.

Tell me where I'm needed.

[onerthes]

Fair. I can't say that I am truly surprised to hear that about you. Regardless, we don't want things to cause further injury, so just be mindful.

Right now, what I need most, and I truly need this. I need teams going out and burning bodies. Finding them before queens can, burning them to ash. Make sure they don't have future agents. We've been good, but I want an assiduous effort to be made so that when this begins to fade next month it does so swiftly.

[winter_abdicated]

Yes ma'am. I'll begin organizing an effort to cremate any remains that are found and dispose of them prior to the acquisition by the opposing forces.

Has there been any news about any other casualties, were any others turned?

[She was worried about Weiss, she'd seen her sister there in the last moments before she had fallen.]

[onerthes]

As I understand it, casualties have been limited.
I haven't received extensive reports of any passings, and I'm sure that there is one name on your mind right now. It is just us. You are allowed to admit concern.

Her name isn't on a casualty list. Promise.

[winter_abdicated]

Weiss, she was there when it happened. I wasn't sure if she was able to make it out safely. But thank you for confirming that she is not among the listed casualties.

[If Winter had hurt her, she wouldn't be sure how to handle it.]

[onerthes]

Unfortunate. Nothing about this place is kind to family ties, but you know that all too well.

Thankfully, she doesn't seem to be seriously injured.

[winter_abdicated]

Hopefully, she was smart enough to fall back until she was able to get back up and reinforcements.

Which sectors are we prioritizing for the sweeping of remains?

[onerthes]

She's a smart girl, Winter. Perhaps a little brave to a fault, but I think she knows that she can't take on all comers without risk. She'd retreat if she had to.

[She remembered that much, from before. They didn't talk much these days, but that was fine.]

Internal streets. There's greater risk of bodies in the woods rising, but I want interior streets fully cleared. No surprises.

[winter_abdicated]

[Brave wasn't the words that Winter would have chosen, wreckless was more like it, along with Ruby and the rest of them. All too young to really understand what could happen.]

I'll get started then. I'll start from the south and sweep northward, and coordinate with a second team to go east to west so that each area is checked thoroughly.

[onerthes]

[That too! She was definitely that too! But usually less reckless solo.

...

Usually.]

Excellent. I will be helping with the East. Give me a message if you find resistance. We need to address this in force. Stamp out what remains of them.

[winter_abdicated]

Understood. I will contact you if there are any complications or resistance.
