"Uh... yeah?" Cain responded.

"That's... not an issue at all." he said.

"But we have bigger things to worry about than your visor." he told her.

"You... you at least LOOK like a human, without the need for a glamour." he commented.

"My entire family... well... doesn't." he muttered.

"And depending on how thorough this gets... we might need to hide away from the public for a very long time..."

"I know." She said before smiling softly.

"I'll be here when you're out of hiding though. I can't die, so I'll be around." there was a sincerity to her words that couldn't be denied.

"A lot of those not basic human will likely go into hiding." She continued, "Mom and Dad might make me followil them, too."

Cain just sighed.

"Can they afford to go into hiding?" he asked.

"Your Mom, specifically." he said.

"She's... in a position of great power, responsibility, and leadership." he continued.

"Can she even GO into hiding?" he inquired.

"Admittedly, I don't know crap about politics. Mage or otherwise." he added at the end.

"Honestly... I have no idea." She answered honestly.

"Cain, I'm scared. Really scared." She admitted a few seconds later. He could hear it in her voice, too. She was absolutely terrified of what was going to happen, especially since she knew that she wouldn't die easily - if at all.

"....." Cain was silent, before getting closer towards her.

He then pulled her into a hug, and held her close.

"I know." he said.

"I... I kinda am, too." he told her.

"But we'll pull through this." he continued.

"We're not left out in the cold, here." he went on.

"We just need to be clever and crafty."

She wrapped her arms around him and held tight.

... Not sure dad knows. You.. We're thr first I thought of when I saw the headlines, admittedly." She said with a heavy sigh. It wasn't hard to guess that this was something that would likely keep her up at night. She was terrified of them repeatedly trying to kill her, and of those she cared about being found.

All she could do for the moment, was hope that maybe, just maybe, this would blow over quickly.

"I'm sure he knows." Cain replied.

"Or, rather, he'll find out VERY shortly." he said further.

"He's pretty quick to pick up on these things. The news IS pretty relevant to his job." he continued.

"Just... we need to try and keep calm." he went on.

"I'm here for you." he told her.

"I'm not going anywhere."

She paused.

"That.... Is very true." She commented.

"And... She continued before pausing as there was a buzz over the intercom.

" Attention" hals voice echoed throughout the building as both of their phones buzzed.

"Due to current social situations, operation Salem is in effect. I repeat, due to current social situations, operation Salem is in effective. You have 1 hour to prepare."

".... Guess that answers that." She commented with a light sigh.

"...." Cain was silent, as he saw the people around him starting to stress out and somewhat panic. He then looked at his phone, and sighed.

"Yep." he said.

"And there's the emergency alert on the phone." he commented.

"Odds are a mass email was sent as well, and possibly text messages." he went on.

"You should... probably go and see your father." he suggested.

"Odds are he's worried about you." he reasoned.

"Might as well go to him before he actively seeks YOU out." he continued.

"Want me to go with you?" he asked.

She sighed lightly.

"Yeah.... I really should." She agreed as she got to her feet.

"As for whether you come with me or not, that's only if you don't want to go and track down your parents."

Cain paused for a moment.

"....ah, yeah." he said.

"Yeah, I really should get ahold of Mom and Dad." he reasoned.

"Confirm what we need to do and crap..." he went on.

"Well, let me know what's going on with YOU, as soon as you know." he told her.

"Please. Just so I'll know what to expect." he reasoned.

"I'll do the same for you."

She nodded with a smile.

"Of course I will." She said before sighing and giving him one last hug, and heading off.

She made her way up to the head offive and was told tk sit by the receptionist, which really wasn't surprising, to wait.

Inside the office, she heard her father... being very busy, and very stressed. It was clear he was doing everything he needed to enact what he had announced over the intercom system, and sent out via phones.

However, as she was waiting, her phone rang.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Lunet, where ARE you?" he father asked her in response, clearing taking a moment to call her.

"Just outside your office." Lunet responded.

"Feel free to come into my office. ASAP." Hal told her.

With that, he hung up, and both she and the receptionist heard Hal call out.

"If Lunet's out there, send her in ASAP!" he said.

The receptionist just looked to the girl and nodded, gesturing for her to enter her father's office.

Sure enough, Lunet made her way in.

"Hey." She greeted.

"I was in the cafeteria with cain when the notice was announced. Came right here after."

"Well, that simplifies things." Hal replied, tapping away on his computer and sorting through some paper files.

"Then you know what's going on." he said.

"It's now officially too dangerous for you to be out there." he told her.

"Let me ask you something." he continued.

"What do you want to do?" he asked.

"Your mother and I have some very serious and stressful work ahead of us, do you have a preference for where you will stay?" he asked further.

"Because otherwise, we're defaulting to HERE."

Lunet was silent for a moment before smiling softly.

"I want to stay with you. Mom has more stress to worry about than to have to worry about me too." She commented.

"Plus... My coding abilities may come in handy." She paused a moment, acquiring a bit of a sheepish expression.

"And... Uh... Ideally I'd like to stay in the same area with cain."

"...ah! Yes." Hal said in response.

"I'll see what Aedan and Azazel are doing for this." he told her.

"Cain's finding out now." Lunet replied.

"Excellent." Hal commented.

"Let me know what they're doing." he said.

"If they're not staying here, and if they have a safe place, let me know if you wish to stay with them." he told her.

"I just don't want you alone during these trying times."

Lunet just sighed.

"Honestly... Nor do I." She admitted.

"But I know I'm likely going to be here in thr unit anyway, as neither you, mom or cains folks are very easy to blend in." She added.

"You look normal, for instance... If you have your shades on. Hell, I'm blind with tech. Doubt the general public will be quite so accepting of that now."

Hal thought about that for a moment.

"Hm. Point well taken." he said.

Meanwhile, Cain had made his way to an unoccupied room, and sighed as he dialled his mother's number.

"Hey, Mom." he said when she answered.

"Odds are you got the alert." he told her.

"What are we doing?" he asked.

"And where are we going?" he asked further.

"Do you have a preference?" his mother responded.

"You and Az can easily go downstairs for awhile to wait this out. So can any of the other demons - barring Aly as she's just connected, and Miki as she's ... mostly? human." She added before sighing a bit.

"I ... have no idea what is going to happen specifically though. Az and I are talking it over now." She told him honestly.

"Do you want a say in this? If you do, let me know what you want, so we can keep that in mind."
