[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6373700, member: 51930"] Duncan had followed the group through the town, through their meetings with others, and finally along the road, a mute companion. At first his silence seemed normal, but as time went on he seemed to drift away from the others, unresponsive, his mind... elsewhere. Even the encounter with the auger saw him standing some distance away, watching the others but not engaging in the combat. [spoiler=But in the mind of the glaive] Duncan's thoughts were on an endless replay of the abhumans in the compound, their last screams as he pulled the lever to shut them down. The justification, saving the lives of those the army would have crushed in their path, spoke up now and then, but the images in his head replayed again and again, drowning them out. Along for the ride were images of the battles in the arena, of those slaves Duncan had hunted and crushed beneath his blades, or even his hammer-hard fists, screaming, falling, begging. Duncan was slowed by the thought, the despair, self-hatred. His body, his tactical mind computer, followed the band out of reflex, and because his control rod was held by his companion. His mind, his thoughts, however, were slowly fading. Duncan's spirit was quieted, falling into a deep depression. [/spoiler] The travelling device engaged Duncan's mind, and as the group was transported, something seemed to light up inside the Glaive. Whatever was keeping him quiet before seemed to have rebooted itself, and as the group landed he took a deep breath and looked about. His glowing disc irises, and the discs on his augmented body, lit up more brightly as he did so, and he looked around with new eyes. "I... what happened? Where...? This is the mountain from the vision." [/QUOTE]
