Willow let the conditioner sit in her hair for a full five minutes. The better to hydrate.

And to figure out what was going on.

She'd never heard of such a situation before, people thinking they were mates and then figuring out during sex they weren't. She sure didn't feel any different, but clearly, Graham did. That was even more evident when she heard the external bedroom door open and close.

While she rinsed out the conditioner and then dried off, she talked herself through what she needed to do. “It doesn’t matter if he used me for sex; it doesn’t matter if I feel the way I do for him; I have to be a professional and rise above this.”

Dressed in the weird stretchy suit, lacking any makeup or even a hair tie to pull back her wet locks (not like I’m trying to impress anyone), Willow followed the two guards down to the Ursanis brig. She walked in on Graham dressing down Monty.

“Sir, you understand I had certain orders.” Monty stood with his hands behind his back, relaxed and confident in his decision.

“You shouldn’t have let me go on how I was while you knew we were experiencing tremors and my father was suffering ill health.”

Risa looked at her for more info, but Willow pursed her lips and shook her head. "Did you manage to get anything from the men on the way down?" she asked, indicating the prisoners in the cell behind the large glass window.

“They weren’t talking, but I did get some info from their laptop.” Risa turned the computer to show the detailed pictures that she'd found. "Turns out, they're in some kind of a cult. They found some obscure lore about the Old Ones, and fished around the grindylows, then convinced the grindys to start stealing the pyrosomes.”

“That makes no sense. Why would they want to wake the Old One?” Willow asked, staring off, trying to figure out what was motivating these cultists.

“From what I can gather,” Risa said, "it's just about the chaos and destruction. They want to unleash an Old One, stir things up. ‘Change the world.'" Risa mocked with an air of disgust.

"They can't possibly think it'll be for the better," Willow said, not quite believing what she was hearing.

"It's not about the betterment of anyone. It's about taking down the status quo. It's about anarchy." Risa, with a few clicks, shifted the screen to one of the last pictures she found, what looked like a picture of an ancient parchment, a large image depicting death and destruction at the hands of something unseen, or at least, not illustrated.

"They can't think they'll survive," Willow said, paling slightly at the thought of so much carnage.

"They don't care," Risa said, looking back at the prisoners behind the glass.

“And what were they planning on doing with the crates of pyrosomes?” Willow saw in her peripheral vision that Graham and Monty were listening to Risa’s answers as well.

“The only thing I could find having to do with the transport is that this was the first planned one.
