[The Reclaimer standing behind a blue energy shield, a projectile on rapid approach.]
CAVALCADE: We have detected another launch, Reclaimer.
CAVALCADE: Recalibrating your armor to project a low-yield energy barrier at safe distance.
CAVALCADE: Brace for impact.
[Energy exploding around the Reclaimer as the projectile impacts the shield.]
CRACKLE! FZZT! SHKKKKT!
RECLAIMER: Huuuuurrrrk!
[A second projectile whizzing past Reclaimer in close proximity.]
SHKKKR!
CAVALCADE: A second volley detected, Reclaimer.
CAVALCADE: It would be wise to find some cover, Reclaimer. Intuitive Portent seems most insistent on destroying us all.
RECLAIMER: Way ahead of you, boys. We need to regroup and find an alternate approach.
[The Reclaimer walking down a corrider, the sky framed behind him.]
CAVALCADE: Portent has closed all communication with us. We are no longer able to dialogue with it.
RECLAIMER: Why do you suppose Portent has gone psychotic all of a sudden? You were communicating with it just a little while ago, weren't you?
[The Reclaimer looking out over the space between the two sides of The Narrows.]
CAVALCADE: Indeed, we were. We are, at the moment, at a loss to explain it.
CAVALCADE: One thing seems clear, however - something changed Portent while it was caught in Slipspace.
CAVALCADE: We may not even be dealing with the same Portent we once knew.
[Looking up at the Reclaimer from ground level.]
RECLAIMER: Would Portent's shatterbox have protected it from the kind of damage you're talking about?
CAVALCADE: The shatterbox would have protected it from all but deliberate changes. Fortuitous Destiny, for example, was altered with clear intent from Ferial.
CAVALCADE: It is our hypothesis that Portent was similarly mistreated while in Slipspace.
