Exactly.

To my knowledge, she won't ever become human again. It's a one way trip she took.

Just because she's a shadow of a person that died years ago isn't any reason to forget that she's a vampire.

Ms. Darken is a monster, not a human being. She may act human, attempt to look human, and even sound human, but so can many a predator mimic her prey. What better way to lower their gaurd, so that she may strike.

She slaughtered her family because deep down she wanted to, and becoming a monster unleashed that rage in such a way that it dared not be contained.

Being free of her master makes her all the more danger, for now she is nothing but a dog off her leash. Careful gentlemen that she doe not bite the hand held out to her in friendship, only to have it bitten off at the wrist.

It can be a point of disagreement and not a point of conflict.

One of the job of the veterans is to teach the newbies what is what - and open hostility in the Society is (or should be) unacceptable.

I will always seek to defend those in need of it. If that creates conflict, then that conflict must also be needed. (like many things, regretable, but needed)

So do I.

Our opinions of who needs defending differ sometimes though.

He defends Darken, I defend her victims.

If she ever again has "victims" at such a time they would need protecting. I want to know Mr. Caliburn, what method do you use to have so clear a view into the future?

We don't see eye to eye on this, but it is in my nature, I will always see this as I do.

I shared a quaint evening last night with Celeste. Im alive.

Besides Ron, an eductaed guess is an assumptions. We all know that when we assume anything, we only end up making an ASS out of U and ME.

Point, Caliburn.

I didn't think this debate had a point anymore.

Point, Turtle.

At least I have a home to go home to Ron.

Ok, that was a cheap shot, I know it.

Ok Ben, I gotta kick yer ass for that one. What time were you leaving DC?

Tonight on a red eye flight to Bangor Internatonal with Molly and Duke. Bert, the Hummer and the gear inside is yours if you need it. The .50 Rifle however is comin' with me.
Sorry man, what is a sniper without his weapon.

The car is paid for, so is the gear inside. All the firearms are clean and could use a good home. So share some with Ron.

Ill contact everyone as soon as I get home, and after Sarah
kicks my ass nine ways to Sunday.

Later

Cool. I need to catch up with ya before you take off though. Shoot me a PM.

I hope that gear I got for you is helpful,I also hope Sarah doesn't kick your ass to much as Molly was being well watched over at all times.

Tahnks again for all thatShades, I appreciate it. Molly had a real good time.
And thanks for the firepower.
Never had a chance t use it, but im sure its stil lurking around out there some where so watch yourselves.

Got a version of the pistol for my self, and I am packing a few of the Shot shells as well. May distibute a few to some others here just in case.

I have noticed the improvement as well. Especially in your spoken English.
