She smiled up at Sally. "I don't know that I'm a great leader, but I'll try to light the way. As for this..." She nudged the tarot card. "I think that's maybe what it's meant to represent. I asked it about the people who were doing that to me, and it basically came up saying they were people trying to work their will on the world."

"Er'rybody is what they is. Do what they do. Just how i' tis," he says, as if that means anything. "Huh. Looks like that there rock you made mention of. What with tha ooga-in' and tha booga-in'."

Sally smiles, "You listen to Kelse' here, though. She gon' lead us through the dead a' night, all dark an' terrorsome an' such."

She considered his story for a long moment, then nodded. "Yeah...I can't imagine that would be anything like comfortable. Makes me glad I can't hear people's thoughts. People looked at me like I was crazy back in med school, but...it was never anything like that. More, maybe she's read too many fantasy novels and it's gone to her head than actual distrust.

"You are a hero, though. And a good man. So what if you can do more than most people?" She shrugged. "I can understand not trusting what you don't know anything about. Me, I know you've put yourself between me and danger, and that's good enough for me."

Normal, though...

Back when I was working lumber in Millinocket, I was caught in a fire in the warehouse where we kept the cut lumber. When those things go up, they get too hot for water to put them out, you just have to let them burn. I got one of my men out of there alive, and I was unscathed, and no one figured we even had a chance.

After that I could feel them looking at me. I just knew when I turned my back they were staring at me, and I could hear what they were thinking... Not the words, nothing that clear, but the ideas, the distrust. They called me a hero to my face, but... I just had to get out of there.

She looked surprised when he mentioned being looked at funny. "Ed, you're one of the most normal people there are around here. You'd think people'd be happy you could stop bullets with your mind." The medic frowned. She kept her voice down when she talked about the more weird aspects of their crew. "Can you stop bullets?"

But it is more than that. Lots of people need me here. I have to watch out for those that the doctors can't help. Like Brett, or Alice. Either of them might hurt the doctor who is just trying to save a life, each in a different way. And there are more like either of them. They need someone like me to remember them and not let them be left behind.

Anyway, they look at me funny back at home... They just don't trust things they don't understand. Can't blame them, I don't either. I just understand a lot more these days.

"I didn't tell too many people about it. Not an hour after I got back, the lights went out in the diner, and...well, you know what happened next. Not a lot of space to think about my personal problems when the whole town's in danger." She shrugged, a touch sheepishly.

"Must've been one hell of a foreman gig so far. What kept you here, after everything went down?"

I wasn't in quarantine. The Union sent me up here for a foreman gig right after the quarantine was lifted. But I didn't hear of the incident back in April... I must not be paying enough attention to details.

"I mean, weird stuff happens to me a lot. I looked into it for a while, but as the months went by, I thought maybe it was just a fluke. Then it happened again, this April, about a year after it had happened the first time. Same exact thing, same exact chanting, and I woke up in about the same spot after. This time, though, I managed to remember some of the chant - Leslie and Gabriel helped me translate it, that's the only reason I have an idea of what they're trying to do. Leslie thinks I'm a person of powerful importance to them." She gave a strained sort of laugh, as if to emphasize just how ridiculous it was that she could be a person of powerful importance to anyone.

Kelsey looked around the diner, then, glancing out the windows. "It's hard to feel safe around here, Ed. But I do, here, when I'm with a big enough group of you. While I know we haven't beaten everything that's come to threaten us, I do know we'll all try if anything comes rolling in to take one of our own."

That must have been awful. How long ago? And where were you? And how did you escape?

I would think that it would be hard to feel safe if you were kidnapped just once, but multiple times...

She waved the card she was holding. "I tried asking it who kept kidnapping me and chanting over me on a cold earthen slab. I didn't really expect to get, well...any answer, really. But this...it fits in with everything I've learned so far. It's about being able to channel your thoughts and desires to bring about a real world change, being connected to the earth and the power that resides there so that you can channel that power to bring about change. And...as far as I can tell, that's what these people are doing. They're trying to destroy or unlock something - some part of me - to protect the earth, or, protect a guardian of the earth, or..."

The medic shook her head again. "It's confusing, and weird. And while this card is an accurate answer, it's also unhelpful. I guess I shouldn't have expected it to give me a name or something."

The medic stared at the card, forehead wrinkling in concentration as she scrutinized it. After a moment she placed it down on the table with a sigh, scanning over a page in the tarot book as if it would offer her any additional insight. Finally, she looked up, hoping for a distraction of some sort.
