[It had to be deliberate, there was no way it could have been anything else. Of all the times she could have been snatched off, it had to be right after she'd mourned for the family she lost on Mindoir. Impeccable timing, Jason. Simply impeccable.

Oh, how she could only wish she could fight free from whatever was bugging her though. While her mind was still hers, some strange compulsion to do what was deemed her work lingered there, buzzing as if to insist she did that instead of whatever else she could be doing--like hunting and trying to help those suffering. Or perhaps, even guarding the girl that was still in the same room. But that was all she was able to do, in the end--her body seemed to rebel against her whenever she tried to make it move the way she wanted it to, wouldn't respond the way she wished it would. It wouldn't break away from serving as one of the drones that emotionlessly maintain the inner workings of this godforsaken tower.

She hated it. She hated not having control over herself.

Shepard can be found anywhere the worker units would be, handling every task passed to her without question. Or, perhaps, you'd rather find her in the dorm rooms (perhaps, even the one she was assigned to), staring at those who occupied it listlessly...]

[...It was hard to tell if she'd registered chaos' words at first, but it would probably become clear after a few minutes that something was so obviously off. She was still unresponsive, still staring out at the empty bed. That there was some obvious modification done to her probably only adds to it.

What was she doing there all this time? Does he still want to find out?]

[chaos did..but, more than anything, he wanted this poor person to leave the room before a fight broke out and his roommates things were destroyed. Or his.

So, this time, he walked up to her and attempted to put a hand on her shoulder to get her attention.]

Again, Miss, what are you doing here?

[Still no response, at least for the moment.

Her eyes seem oddly affixed onto the empty bed, though...was she watching over someone, or at the very least, trying to? Or was there something she needed the would-be occupant for...? It's hard to tell.]

[Since she wasn't responding to words, chaos tried a different approach that he found had worked with some of the residents. Using his telepathy, he tried to talk to the person.]

'Can you hear me? If so, what are you doing here? And are you alright?'

#4: "Salvation comes with a cost."

That took too long for me to get back to, sob.

It's alright! Don't worry about it! ^^

Yaaaaaaaay ;; Also I'll probably have her wake up soon if things get hard to tag from here on out :X

Which will also be alright. ^^
