There are a lot of cards that Alloran has been trying to keep close to his chest. It's so novel, having secrets of his very own! One is the speed and power of his tail. The blade near the end isn't much over a foot long and given that the New Hires include people like Stacia it doesn't provoke much anxiety among the other staff.

So, given that some of those staff are present, Alloran has not rendered the several wailing monsters present into so many pieces. Instead, resigned and bleeding from the haunches, he uses a tail that can decapitate a horse in an eyeblink to help guide a cherub into one of the mesh bags a Rig custodian is using. The poor woman has earmuffs, heavy gloves, and a flack jacket on and absolutely cringes as Stacia tears past.

Alloran does not. <You decorate yourself in that form now?>
