Town Hall, Thursday Morning

"Can anybody tell me anything more about what's going on here?"

Tamsin didn't just call town hall meetings twice in a row for fun, you know. ... Okay, maybe a little. Just to watch the anti-social ones scramble. Whatever. She crossed her arms, surveying the crowd.

"Anyone from the recon team? Anyone who's been sticking their faces in books for the past few days? What are these things, what's happening with the bitey, and who do we need to punch to get out of this mess?" Beat. "Chop chop."

... It was bound to be another informative meeting.

Recon team? Science team? Tell your stories.

"The ones in charge have eyes like mine, at least at first," Ghanima spoke-up. "Though I promise you, they are not from my world."

"The eyes go yellow when you injure them, the blood is black, and when you finally finish one, it goes to ash and the feral ones simply...stop. They collapse, and eventually come back to themselves. Find their master, kill it, and you've found a solution."

Tamsin tilted her head, blonde hair spilling over her shoulder.

"I love it when the answer is 'kill things'," she said.

"It takes a lot of constant damage, and they heal very quickly," Ghanima warned. "We had to essentially vivisect her to start, I attempted to carve out her heart, Miguel cut her throat, and then I had to almost completely sever her head from her body."

"The one we killed thought we were 'fresh meat,' so she couldn't have been around long enough to understand actual threats when she encountered them. An older one may be more difficult."

"Sounds like overkill." Beat. "We've usually got a lot of overkill walking around on this island," she mused. "Throwing more of it at them might work."

"Find a Jedi having a Bad Day and let them have some fun," Ghanima suggested dryly. "It's like therapy finger-painting. But with black blood that smells terrible."

GHANIMA.

"It has been too long since I got to watch Skywalker make an ass out of himself," Tamsin said, with a loud, put-upon sigh.

"I heard that!" Anakin said, glaring.

"You were supposed to!" Tamsin called back, and flipped him the bird.

Ghanima just laughed. "I'm not wrong!"

Honestly. She was Leto's twin. Her coworkers ought to know there was a difference between Lady Ghanima the Teacher and Ghani by now, and one of them enjoyed teasing people to no end.

Okay, fine, both of them enjoyed being utter brats. The professional Princess Royal persona was just more subtle about it.

"Well, no," Anakin muttered.

And slicing baddies in half was strangely therapeutic...

Peter nodded at Ghanima. "That's the best way to handle the actual vampires." He was scowling at the thought of them. They gave bloodsuckers a bad name.

"It's not the only way to help the ones that've been bitten, though." He held up a piece of paper he and John had taken notes on. "There's a mix - garlic, colloidal silver, and water, in specific proportions. If you can get one of the feral ones to drink it, they'll turn back to human. I doubt it'd be practical to just spray them down and hope to get it in their mouths, but it should help our own, at least."

Anakin nodded. "Get it to the clinic and turn it into IV drips, perhaps."

"I don't know if that'll work, but I don't see why not," Peter agreed.

"It's that or a bacta-like dunking bath, so I thought the IV seemed neater," Anakin said.

No one needed Beaker floating in his skivvies, Peter. No one.

Peter took a moment to ~~try not to~~ picture that.

"The information we got said they can drink it, so I just thought we'd pour it in their mouths."

Not everyone went immediately to dunking, Anakin.

Space science, Peter! Who needs normal medicine when you can float people in tubes?

"Or that way, but mine is more fun."

"...I think we have different definitions of 'fun', but as long as it works, I don't think anyone will care."

As long as you knew how to give IV fluids.
