Re: Calgary, Canada
Raising an eyebrow, the man spoke.
"My name is Chris. I'm with a network known as the Sanctuary, run by Helen Magnus. The men who attacked you were from another organization known as the Cabal, following some of the ideas Adolf Hitler had. To say the least, they're bad news. I don't know if you've heard of the Lazarus virus or not, but I had heard they were planning to dump it here, something that seems true judging from that briefcase. I came out here to stop them from doing that. The virus causes abnormals to go insane, lashing out violently to anyone near, before ultimately killing them painfully, and slowly. An engineered virus if you will. I know you have no reason to trust me, but I intend you no harm. You seem peaceful enough, and I doubt you'd attack anyone without just cause or without being provoked. Their group though likely has marked you, they'll try to come after you again. Our network was founded on the belief that abnormals have every much a right to live as humans do, and to protect both species from one another. We could offer you Sanctuary if you'd like, or at least a temporary place to call home until this mess is dealt with."
He chuckled at the last part.
"I haven't been human for almost a decade now. I made the mistake of trying to do the right thing and crossing paths with the Cabal. It cost me my former life. I've not lived amongst human civilization as you call it for years. I blend in easily enough because my gifts aren't to the point of making me appear like a non-human, so I don't draw attention. It helps when humans feel no pressure or don't have the primitive instinct of fear when dealing with them. Some, are able to look past that or at least not let it control them, though they are few and far between. I'm not a doctor by any means, but those wounds don't look terribly good. I could have a look at them, see if there's anything we can do to field dress them as it were?"
Sanctuary
Henry grunted.
"Eh, it's just that John apparently decided to test out if he and the others of the five along with Chris are immune to the effects of Lazarus by exposing himself to it. Stupid, stupid plan but ... he's not infected or anything. Bastard was right."
