[Dirk's brief broadcast the day before ended right as it sounded like a fight broke out with no responses anyone, so that probably was a little disconcerting. It's a full day later when his callsign finally makes another appearance on the network, back in his typical text form.]

Got him.
Permanently, I hope, but I'm not taking anything as a given on Respawn Island, particularly not after having just done the same myself.
I don't see that asshole hollering on the walkies anymore though, so I assume shit's quieted down.

what happened?
how did you find him? what did it take to kill him?

[That last question is in case he comes back...but he's also curious.]

[timaeus]

I can give you the full details when I get back to the airfield.
Wouldn't wanna spill the beans on the network and clue the next lunatic in so they're prepared for the same strategies.
But I didn't get the feeling he was invulnerable to normal damage or anything like that.
Big and fast and full of weird alien organs that probably make for a whole different arrangement of vitals, sure, but just as capable of dying as the rest of us.

[solitarysoul]

understandable

[Right, these things aren't secure. Considering what Eki was JUST posting he should have remembered that.]

i'll wait till you get back. do you need help with that?

[timaeus]

Nah.
I know exactly where I am.
Camped right near here when I first arrived.
It's pretty close to the Pacair's village, actually.
Currently debating whether I should stop in to check on them or just head straight back to the airfield.

[solitarysoul]

i don't really know anything about those guys.
what are they like?

[Are they a threat?]

[timaeus]

They seemed reasonable enough last time I was there.
But that was before the crustacean apocalypse.
I don't know how involved they were with all that, if at all.

[solitarysoul]

keep us posted, i guess.
