Chapter Twenty-Seven

HQ was buzzing with bodies. No one stayed in the same space for longer than five minutes. The sheer amount of effort that HQ was having to put in to plan around nine different realms was astounding.

Creon had been glued to his holoscreen for what felt like three or four days straight. He still wasn't sure if it had even been a day.

He was on his seventh cup of coffee, and all of the information on the screen looked like nonsense. "Gods be damned," he muttered as he reached over to the conjuring pad next to his pad and summoned another cup of coffee.

Cire walked into the lab, carrying two plates of food. "How's it going?"

"Dismally. But I'm happy to have the company."

Creon was being honest. He’d grown used to having Abby in the lab with him. Someone to bounce ideas off of was always appreciated, and Abby had the added benefit of being able to improve on them. Martin was nice to work with, but the AI's smart-aleck attitude made conversations difficult at times. Cire was proving to be a solid stand-in. Even if the orc didn't understand everything Creon said, he had enough curiosity to probe each idea.

Creon pointed at the holoscreen. "I've been trying to break down the composition of the Omniverse based on the information Abby provided, but I'm not getting anywhere. As far as I can tell, it is composed of something entirely different from anything we have in the nine realms. Which doesn't help me at all."

"What about the zombies?"

Creon looked away from the holoscreen and pushed up his glasses. "That is supposed to be your department, isn't it?"

Cire took a seat across from Creon. "Still, I'd like to see if you found anything out."

The gnome shook his head as he sighed. "No, nothing. I can't seem to find a link between the Omniverse and its ability to raise the dead."

"It could be a combination of things we don't know," a voice said from the hallway.

Sarah walked into the lab, holding a cup of coffee. She looked as ragged as Creon did, hours of sleep deprivation hanging heavily under her eyes.

Creon jumped when he saw her. "They brought you in too, huh?" He looked at Cire. “Guess they want all the heavy-hitters in one place to solve this.”

Sarah walked past Creon and took a seat behind Cire. "It's all over my head at the moment. Zombies are being stored, which I'm assuming they are across all of the realms. There isn't anything to do. I figured I could maybe do something useful over here, but I showed up, and the DGA is already gone. I guess I'm just looking for someone to bother."

Cire grinned sheepishly at Sarah. "To be honest, I don't think I'm doing much other than that at the moment as well."

"Shouldn't you be with the orcs?"

Cire laughed. "Unlike the rest of the nine realms, the orcs are handling things quite differently. We haven't penned up any of the zombies. We've gone through and taken care of the problem.
