Julian Machliec: "Mike, he was just on his way downtown. And he took care of the problem. This is why we want Cor working with us. He's quick, strong, and damn handy with that sword of his. You know it. I know it. So stop stressing." Mike Kaminski: "Knew I shouldn't have let him come to Washington on his own. Damn, the guy's a trouble magnet." Julian: "No, he's an Elf. OK, that's the same thing. But he wants to do this thing with BPA. You're not responsible for him 24/7. And he's no kid." Kaminski: "Crap. It's my fault he's here anyhow." Julian: "Mike, don't go there. It's done with. Please, he spent a decade in that damn cavern with Gil, he knows how to take care of himself. And he's a mage." Kaminski: "But...well, hell." Julian, putting his hand on Kaminski's shoulder: "Mike. Mike. Stop it.: Kaminski: "Damn." Julian: "He's OK, man, you know that. Now we have to figure out why the hell there was a...thing down here in the first place. Focus, man." Kaminski: "Right, right." For you who came in late: BPA is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Bureau for Paranormal Affairs, that Julian works for. Kaminski's been one of Julian's agents for a long, long time....the rest...well... Production notes: AntFarm's Styx River Station; M4 Enhanced for all 4 guys, but my own characters on Julian and Kaminski; PD Leo and a J. Morris fella on the cops; my own poses and expressions and lights; hair, color adjustments, goo, blood, mist, noir atmosphere, and police tape added in post.
