[Chase is in one of the hospital pathology labs, a centrifuge whirring away on the desk in front of him. He's flicking through a messy looking sheaf of paper.]

I'm starting to understand why the City Guide has an entire section on zombie handling strategy. Someone told me they used to be a regular problem, here. Anyone long-term enough to be able to tell me about that?

[He's about to ask another question, but a second voice, deep and rolling, curiously accented, interrupts.]

What is an enemy to you, Doctor?

[Chase's head snaps up. He takes a gasp as though the breath has been punched out of him.]

You're not here. You're never really h—

[But the voice comes again, and as Chase moves, the picture on his device swings to show a man in a tattered, bloodied surgical gown, the flesh rotting away from his face.]

Men make choices.

[The zombie sweeps a rack of equipment to the floor, and the screen goes black.]



[ooc: Chase's ghoul is Darth Vader Mufasa James Earl Jones Dibala, the genocidal dictator of a small African nation, who he murdered shortly before arriving in the city. Dibala will be/have been around for a little bit to bother anyone at the hospital.]

Breaker, breaker Wallaby.

[Really though he wants to ask what the fuck. What are the Back to the Future rules on approaching events that have not yet happened?]

Are you armed yet?

[Oh House, he's only wanted you to ask for a year now. To somehow know the things that haunt him.

His voice comes through after a minute, quiet. A little shell-shocked.]

To a degree.

[Time? Space? Circumstance? Look part of it is that what does that future hold? There's less of a bounce in Chase's step and he has more teeth. Small observations he is not feeling all too well about.]

A degree might not get you far in these parts.

[To make it sound more like an action film.]

[Bringing the future crashing in to burst the city's protective bubble is something Chase is all too aware he shouldn't do. But it's lonely, knowing too much.]

I got Cameron away. He didn't follow us.

[He got Cameron away and beat Dibala down until he stopped getting back up. Saying that much is hard.]
