[ WELL HEY, this is a face that hasn't popped up in a while! Artika's looking a little dirty, ragged, and generally unkempt, and not terribly pleased. ]

They need to stop— they all need to be quiet. [ uh. okay, Artika, if you say so. she darts a glare over to the side. ] I said to leave!

[ When she's satisfied that... whatever is over there got the message, she looks down into the camera again. ]

Killing them does not work. I tried. I hate them.

Them! In black, and with masks, they do not stand and fight me!

[Well, now. Osprey hasn't had a chance to examine the mysterious Masked. This could be informative.]

Can you point the camera at them? I haven't had a chance to see these Masked.

[ With a sound of annoyance, she spins the netbook from its place on the ground to face out at what looks like the edges of the city — out at... absolutely nothing beyond the ordinary. which isn't what Artika seems to be shouting at. ]

Stay there, or I will kill you again!

[Osprey's image-recognition software kicks in with the view of the city, and he's on his way, pausing only to grab his sniper rifle. The lack of Masked in the picture is odd, though.]

Are they hiding themselves from sight somehow? How can you locate them?

[flightlessbird]

They are right there! [ There's some scuffling behind the netbook, as she stands up. ] They are not listening to me.
