	"Ugh... could have done without this today." Petra groans. "Pippi... your Compassion thing.. is there any way you can know details of what he's thinking? Maybe we can pick up more details about the shapeshifter than he can while he's still in shock." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Pippi, don't you and your tiara worry about a thing except keeping this guy stable and healing until we get him a real doctor," Barbie immediately counters. "It's a shapeshifter, Petra. One that went around looking like people at the embassy, both Xian and others, and then stabbed everyone. How much is observational nuance going to help us? Not going to prioritize that over trying to make sure somebody lives?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's then that an angry, almost metallic-sounding voice starts yelling in Mandarin over some equipment that was not as damaged as it looked. " Jia! You can't put me off! I demand to speak to my son! Jia, answer me you worm! " (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Barbie takes a breath and runs to the phone-system-thing, sorting out how to answer it. "Mr. Jia is dead, Sir. We're not sure at this time where your son is, but we intend to find him and, if he's okay, keep him that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	" What? Who is this? What is going on!? " The August General demanded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't mean to stop healing him!" Petra snaps back, biting her lip as she picks out some of the Mandarin. That's it, no more procrastinating. Next online course starts this weekend, if they're all still alive, and not murdered by a shapeshifter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is Nightingale of the JLI, General. Most of the embassy has been murdered by a shapeshifter. We haven't found Xi'an yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When the General speaks again, it's in accented English. "Xian..do you know anything of this shapeshifter?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The realization also causes the general to pause for a time. "A strong shapeshifter..I believe I know who it is you seek. He goes by the name, Proteus, and is a former metahuman agent of the Ukrainian government. He went freelance some time ago, though lately he has targeted Chinese operations. He has never been this brazen before..we suspected he has some manner of headquarters in Thailand, though their government has not given us leave to investigate, as he has committed no crime there." The general's tone turns sly, but subtle. "My government as such will not allow the Great Ten to investigate further, nor are we allowed to speak of what we know to outsiders." As he talks a series of coordinates appear on one of the screens. "I find my hands tied as I cannot tell you what I know." The coordinates, when properly examined, will pinpoint a city in Thailand. "I will have to investigate elsewhere and pursue other avenues." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The August general didn't hear Pippi, which was likely for the best. "As do I. I will be conducting investigations my end. Should someone find Proteus, he is a wanted criminal in the People's Republic, it would be a legitimate reason to contact me." More information is shown at the bottom of the screen. "Should someone find Xian..there are no words for my gratitude. Good luck to you." After that the feed cuts off. (Reply to this)(Parent)
