*Slowly Tac fades in, hunched over a table with his two long horns propping his head up as they curve forward and start to curve downwards. Even with the supression of all things magical in the Brink the hint of the black aura can still be seen, as if it stained the very air around him. He seemed to twitch slightly as he remained hunched over, also heaving slightly as he drew in deep breaths and let them out in stagged exhales. He once again wore his trenchcoat, and everything else for that matter, and his clothes seemed cleaned this time. Though he was growing a beard he seemed mostly clean except for some blood and grease on his hands. On the table before him were the bits and pieces of two shattered pistols, each just over half the size of an AK 47. Tac holds his horns and tugs on them weakly from time to time, almost as if he were trying to break them off.*

:::Cora opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling, or lack there of. She sat up in bed suddenly and looked around, forgetting for a moment what had happened before she fell asleep:::
Yes...I'm back here. Where ever this is.
:::She moved off the bed, and into a small area that resembled a futuristic kitchen. Cora moved effortlessly around it as though she was accustomed to such surroundings. She approached a keypad and punched in a coad, seconds later came a beep and a small door opened on the wall, presenting a cup of hot liquid:::
Whatever it is... this place is trying to make me comfortable...
:::She decided to accept the notion for what it was, and drank the liquid releaving a little tension:::
I wonder if anyone is outise...

*Tac ran his eyes over his bloodied hands and the bloodied pieces of his two favored weapons. The blood wasn't his own. He pressed his fingers into his eyes as he leaned back in his chair, letting out an exasperated sigh.*
"I'm a monster...an abomination...a MURDERER!"

:::Cora opened the door from her room, and peered into the hallway. She heard movement a moment ago:::
:::She arrived in the main room to see Tacitus hunched...examining his hands:::
Please excuse me, Officer Tac...correct?

*He turns his gaze towards her, his head drooping because of the fact that he's not used to having such large horns.*
"Just Tac is fine."
*Some of the blood from his hands now sullied his face, but the main source seemed to be from his right hoen, which was covered completely and was even staining his grey hair from the blood that had run down it.*

You seem to have been in a violent encounter on your duty. Are you harmed?
:::She went to the bar and grabbed a cloth left on the counter. Cora knew it wasn't his blood, but was sure that his actions were justified as an officer of the law he claimed to be:::
Do you require medical attention?

"No...I..."
*He didn't seem to have the willpower to respond to her at first, but when she asked again when she went to get the cloth he kicked away from the table he was sitting at, nearly knocking over both the table and the chair, and got up, swinging his horns around unknowingly, causing the blood covered horn to send small droplets across the floor like a spray.*
"I'm warning you, if you value your life, you'll stay away."
*He turned and ran towards the darkness, slipping on some of the blood his horn had sprayed. ((yeah, weak, but whatever)) As he hit the floor he simply layed there, half in shock from slipping and half in shock from recent events. His mind was a shambles and all he could see was her naked body with that gaping hole in her abdomen and the chunk of flesh he ripped from his horn as he ran that he had "removed" from her body.*

:::She moved in the direction he had fallen:::
Officer Tac, your mind is suffering from post traumatic shock. Pleas allow me to assist you.
:::Cora did not wait for a response. She kneeled beside him and saw that his eyes were unafixed, momentarily in shock. She reached for a compartment in her belt where a standard tranquilizer gun was issued...only to find that it was not there. This is untimely. What is going on with my suit?! She did not panic though, the situation called for a level head. She found a point on his wrist and squeezed it to aliviate a pressure point, calming the mind...as taught per her training:::
Be calm Officer Tac. You are in the care of Officer Cora Serenis, trained and certified to provide emergency aid. You are safe.

*He shook himself back to reality and pushed himself up and turned, unconsciously swinging his horns at her from not being used to having them as he tried to push her away. He scooted away from her as well, both not wanting to either fully see her or let her close enough to possibly harm her. If he saw her body....she would die.*
"Keep away from me! Don't you get it you crazy b***h? I'm trying to save you from myself!"
*He tried to pull his coat over his head as a small child would do to hide.*

:::Cora stood up, asessing the situation. Without that tranquilizer, I can't do much for his physical state. He seems in nominal physical condition. The trauma will pass eventually. Perhaps its best I talk him through it:::
Officer Tac, your previous encounter is over. You are now in...th-The Brink of Time. :::That is what he called this place...::: You are safe here. You are not going to harm me, I am Officer Cora Serenis, your ally.
If you are capable, follow my instructions. Slowly inhale in through your mouth, then release the air through your nose counting backwards from ten. Remember where you are and who you are speaking to right now. You will slowly regain further control of your thoughts and actions.

*He kept his head hidden within his coat as best he could.*
"And what of Niishima? She was my 'ally.' She was a coworker, a friend, she was my secretary. I merely enslaved her, I've no clue what I could do to you. For all I know in ten minutes you could be calling me master and ripping my shirt off like I forced Niishima to do...."
*He was forgetting that the Brink supressed magic utterly and completely. Of course he was forgetting quite a few other important things, but it didn't really matter.*
"Have you ever sinned, 'Officer' Cora Serenis?"
((I may not be checking this particular thread right quick, so if you post like bug me over AIM, and aside from what it says below, I'm on TheExiledCorpse instead of TheCorpseyRemix at the moment.))

:::She hesitated a moment. She'd been asked this question once before by the department when interviewing her for the force. Though, they didn't use the word sin. But religion and state were long ago as one. Perhaps Officer Tac was of ancient descent:::
Yes Officer Tac...I once 'sinned'. I disobeyed my father when he did not wish me to join the Omega Force. But no longer does my life have room for disobidience. There is no time to 'sin' in my life.
:::Why is he asking me this now..?:::
