After "The Knight"

[modern_ancient]

The footage of the mission was hard to believe for a number of reasons, but on of them is stomping back into the Sakihama Base hangar: a stone giant, almost 18 meters tall, battered and cut, revealing some kind of green light flowing within. After dropping off it's weaponry in a large semi-truck, it comes to a stop in a clear area, checks to make sure no one is standing too close, and then starts to crumble. The pieces that fall off dissolve into mist and vanish entirely within minutes, and eventually all that is left is Njall.

He's covered in wounds, wounds that match up with the damage done to the giant. Cuts all over his arms and legs, bruises, burns. It had been a fairly brutal fight. Njall shook his head and wiped blood and sweat from his eyes and got out of the middle of the room before someone else coming back from the battle stepped on him. Minutes later found him slumped against a staircase at the edge of the hangar.

I'm not sure I want to guess at how weird things are going to get if they can get weirder than they already are.

We live on a strange, wondrous planet.

Anyways, I won't ask you to keep this a secret, but I'd appreciate it not getting to the press. If the press finds out then the government usually gets involved and then I end up getting stuck in a lab while they try to dissect me and I have to kill a bunch of people and it's just not a winning proposition for anyone.

I doubt they'd believe me. It sounds like a crazy person rambling, after all. I wouldn't believe me if I hadn't seen your wounds disappear like that.

So if I talked about it, they'd probably just make a story about how I'm crazy. Maybe that all the students of the MJP program are.

Like I said, a losing proposition for everybody.
