[Just to be clear for... someone. The fact Shaw was murdered and came back is cementing in his mind that this may be some pseudo or hybrid fear domain, though.]

[ That sounds fucking dire, even without taking into account the mountains, the fact that one of them's a kid. ]

[Martin considers sharing some of his specific misgivings, but that would require explaining things about himself that he doesn't want to. He goes with the more obvious commentary, instead.]

[aluminumandash]

wish hed stayed in a corner pissing himself. doesnt even know where i am. [ At most—and Rust's loath to give Ben this kind of credit—he might've guessed at the general direction from Rust's drone warning. ]

they were staffing these fuckers at one point. make sense to build near a water source.

[lonelynotforsaken]

[Martin is dubious that Shaw's the best option, but she's better than just Ben alone, so he keeps that thought to himself.]
