[Daisy knows she's supposed to be resting, but how can she when the person who attacked her is still out there? Her voice is weak, but the anger is there all the same.]

I was attacked last night. Whoever it is, they're still out there.

[She says to start, swallowing thickly as another wave of pain washes over her.]

I don't have a good description on them, other than they had some sort of metal suit and carried a staff.

( the tips of clarke's fingers are a mere inch or two from... what she guesses would be the hilt of the dagger, the least pointy part at least. then suddenly fett is shouting directly into her ear, sharp and loud enough that his hissed warning may as well have been an icepick against her eardrum. she stops, predominantly because her hand instinctively jerks up to cradle her ear. and there is a very pronounced wince that neither of the other two can see but she swallows any outward complaint.

because few things illicit that sort of kneejerk response from people as a whole. and from what little she's gleaned here about mandalorians, probably less startles them. so was that a fear response? exactly what sort of weapon is she currently looking at, and how dangerous must it be to demand immediate action on the end of a man dressed in thick metal armor. and, two like minds here, what is that supposed to mean for daisy?

the hospital isn't a far walk from here, clarke thinks she could also manage to track down a companion bot and request services. but at least in this moment she's rooted to the sidewalk, a latent bolt of adrenaline sinking through her legs and gluing her feet in place. fett's video feed blips out of sight, daisy asks the most important question. and she just stays silent and still, waiting... )

It's Yuuzhan Vong surge-coral, [ he answers, still on auto-pilot. And then, because it's unlikely that means anything toeither of the women, he continues: ] It's a torture device. They use it on prisoners to force compliance and... to amuse themselves.

[ Fett's voice is all ice on those last words. He still remembers the first time he'd watched the Vong use their so-called yorik-kul on a prisoner: they'd rammed it straight through the man's sternum while he'd screamed and screamed. It should have killed him; it didn't. Fett still regrets not putting the poor wretch out of his misery when he'd had the chance, but he'd had his own role to play in that long, calamitous war, and it hadn't been a pretty one. ]

Whoever attacked you, they weren't trying to kill you; they were trying to enslave you.

[ And it was a Mandalorian who'd done this? Fett feels a rare surge of anger. His people had played a key and ugly role in fighting the Yuuzhan Vong and they'd paid dearly for it. What kind of Mandalorian turns around after something like that and starts doing their enemy's dirty work for them? ]

Have you felt any different mentally since the attack? Any disembodied voices or strange compulsions?

Normally? It would start immediately. It would just be a matter of how long you could resist.

[ Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case for the woman now. Fett thinks it over. ]

It's supposed to place you under the control of a Vong mass-coordinator, but I doubt any exist here. There might not be any orders for you to receive.

[ A pause. ]

You also aren't still screaming, [ he points out. ] So whatever treatment they gave you at the hospital seems to be working.

[ Fett gives no response to that. It should be a relief, knowing that they have the resources here to nullify the Vong's abominations, but his mind is still on the perpetrator. Is it possible they could be from an offshoot universe of his own, one where the Mandalorians had served the Yuuzhan Vong in earnest? It shouldn't trouble him—what's one more impossibility among all the rest?—but it does.

He says nothing more, his feed going silent as he focuses on finding his way to Clarke and the yorik-kul. He moves quickly and within minutes he's approaching her position, where she's still standing guard over the blade. He says no word of greeting. He just strides over, picks the sharpened lump of coral off the ground—his own hands, as always, covered with thickly padded gloves—and places it into one of the larger pouches at his side. It might be easy to mistake his brisk efficiency for nonchalance. Really, he's just trying to minimize the time he actually spends handling the blasted thing.

His helmet turns towards Clarke. ]


A blade for a blade. Guess this makes us even.

[ It's another bit of suspect serendipity—Clarke helping to find the yorik-kul after Fett had returned her own knife. Though, perhaps this time is actually a coincidence. Fett doesn't know how Echo could have engineered such a series of events.

He reactivates his comm device, shooting a message to Daisy again. ]


Any word on the incinerator?

( too many unpleasant reminders of home in too few of days, and honestly she and he really ought to stop meeting over blades, it sets a bad precedent. but it'd be a lie to say there wasn't at least a bit of relief when fett joins her in the street — the comfort of someone else present who at least seems prepared to handle awful looking things, if not also a bit too cavalier about touching the exact same thing he'd warned her off. sure, gloves are a great protective barrier, but only up until they're not.

clarke favors the metal shrouded man with wary side eye; buttons her lips together to prevent outright asking you sure you should do that? because at the end of the day, what does she know. she'd never seen organically grown poisonous blades and would be genuinely content to never see one again, the bulbus yorik-kul is unnervingly ugly to the point it makes her skin crawl. but he packs it away, and asks after the incinerator again, and poor bedridden daisy bears the bad news.

but — oh. in the vein of unpleasant reminders from their home-worlds, clarke does suddenly have an idea for a plan b. )


Is fire necessary? If so I do have — ( her own kidney floating in a jar of formaldehyde back in her apartment, but it doesn't need all that preservative... ) — an accelerant.

[ At the other woman's response over comms, Fett's voice grows pointed. ]

Did you ask?

[ He knows it's no use. He recognizes the sleepy, slightly-slurred speech as that of someone on some very high-quality painkillers. He wonders if it would be worth going to the hospital and asking about an incinerator himself, though he doesn't relish the potential questions doing so might invite. He certainly doesn't trust any of Echo's droids to carry out the incineration without him there. ]

Just need to make sure there are no shards of it left intact, [ Fett answers Clarke gruffly. ] Fire'd be the most convenient way.

[ He has an accelerant, too—the fuel in his wrist-mounted flamethrower—but his is in short supply and with no obvious means yet of replenishing it, he's inclined to accept Clarke's offer. ]

You can go get it. Just be prepared for a trek if you want to tag along.

( clarke can recognize when she's invariably stuck her nose in other peoples business. sure, this particular situation is a bit complicated, and she's to the point where it feels like it concerns her but when offered the option to tag along... for a second, she stalls out. wonders if that's appropriate or necessary, or if there's something more productive she could do like keep an eye out for another man in metal armor and a helmet. but daisy responds, sounding half asleep and still in a great deal of pain, and clarke's heart drives the decision making.

to daisy: )


Hey, how about you just rest, okay? We'll take care of this. You said you were being looked after, yeah? Give your caretaker our usernames if they need to follow up on anything.

( she also wants to caution whomever is at daisy's side — be it person or companion bot — to be on the lookout for whatever rogue mandalorian is running around, just in case they came by to check on the progress of their poison or make another attempt on the other woman's life, but bites her tongue. that feels like sewing the seeds of paranoia, and not everyone has to worry to the same degree clarke does.

then to fett, after a brief pause and a silent nod to acknowledge she's in this and always down for a trek: )


Give me five minutes.
