[lightly shaking your shoulder]

... Shaun?

[sharpasafawkes]

[yeah still going through it and like he really felt that in the first place and breathing shakily and no, still going through the images and stabbing and the panic and yelling...]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

... Shaun?

[shoving a bit rougher this time]

Hey, man, snap out of it!

[sharpasafawkes]

[Still breathing a little fast, and coming out of it slowly, but he seems to be coming out of it at least.

And then looking up.

...oh.]

...Yes, sorry?

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

What happened? Did you get someone's memories?

[sharpasafawkes]

Yes, I'd say I did all right...

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

What'd you see?

[sharpasafawkes]

Something rather horrible.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

And that was?

[sharpasafawkes]

... We lost another team, or at least most of it.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Which team?

[he looks surprised, before cursing a bit and pacing]

Damn it-- we're running out of time...! Shit...

[sharpasafawkes]

No, we're- we're fine on one count, but I'd rather not lose any more teams until we've got everything worked out.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Which team was it?

[sharpasafawkes]

One of the ones cut off from any support, for the most part.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Like us?

[sharpasafawkes]

Please, there's quite a few teams that are in our situation, like the one in Tokyo, they're dealing with a rough patch themselves.

...Were, they went dark recently.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

[... not going to let you know he was snooping through your email, so]

Yeah-- I figured. About the team thing, anyway.

[sharpasafawkes]

Unfortunately this one... well it was a team that I knew a few of the people, and it's bad enough losing them even when you haven't had the occasional chat through email.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry, man.

[Desmond sad. :(]

[sharpasafawkes]

No, in a way I'm lucky, I haven't been with the Assassins to see all the training camps get raided, so while we're still in a nasty spot, I didn't see how all of it fell.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

It was a training camp?

[sharpasafawkes]

No, just a team... You never heard about Cross?

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

No. What is it?

[sharpasafawkes]

Danial Cross is, or rather was the reason we're losing people so quickly. Now back around little over a decade ago Cross wound up in the brotherhood and starting doing rather well and climbing up the ranks at a nice pace, until one day around the election the mentor called him in for a chat. Now I have no idea about what happened, but Cross went traitor on us and killed the mentor before escaping, and while nobody's seen him yet, it's obvious that he went back to the Templars. See during his wanderings he managed to visit every single camp we had, and all of them got raided. It's a miracle we survived at all really.

[he looks a little surprised, before nodding]

So, that's what happened... Fuck him.
