....From what I know, they haven't done anything to me. But I don't have superpowers, so maybe I'm just not interesting.

[ She looks at him, very serious. ]

I'll tell you if I hear anything.

Wash was... something had happened to him. Before all this.

A lot of things happened to both of us.

He's... more vulnerable now.

[ She seems to be struggling with how much she should or should not say. ]

They seem opportunistic and, if this isn't a time problem, Wash was coming in already wounded. There would have been more of a chance to do something to him than most of us.

I do. They're kind of cool, but also... it's a little disturbing.

[ He'd explain further but Carolina keeps talking, and York goes quiet and attentive. His brow furrows a little. ]

What happened?

[ It's obvious enough that she's struggling with what to share, and York doesn't know how to convince her that it's okay, she can tell him anything. Because it's not just her business, it's Wash's. ]

He told me about the gunshot wound, the brain damage, and I thought that's what they were taking advantage of here if we're right. But if there's something else... even he doesn't know. We're just going off what Tucker told him.

Carolina, it could be important.

((I oocly lost track of this slightly woops, but I think this works?))

It's the brain damage.

[ She decides she's just going to talk about it. If it's the wrong decision, she'll own it later. She trusts York. ]

You said you know about that, but how much do you know?

Wash... forgets things. He repeats conversations. He'll forget what he agreed to, or if something was his own idea or not.

So if the Stuff fixed him, okay.

But are we sure that's what happened?

Wash was hurt enough that if something happened to him, he might not even be able to remember.

...I didn't realize it was that bad. He's not like that here.

[ York finds himself feeling a burst of grief for his friend, but shakes it off to continue the conversation. ]

You're right, we're not sure that's what happened. I'm going to check his head to see if Stacia's vision was accurate, then we can discuss it some more. If it's safe to tell him what we think or not. I'm most worried that Jorgmund is using him somehow.
