I need help.

[ It's not the kind of comment one might normally expect out of Blake; usually so independant, and reluctant to rely on others for help. But there's a barely restrained panic in her voice that she's only mostly keeping under control as she tries to be clinical and informative about what she's facing. ]

My friend, Yang... some of you will know her. Lots of blonde hair, prosthetic, yellow muscle car. Likes to make dumb puns.

She-- she fell asleep and won't wake up again. I think she's turning into a Husk. There's a layer of metal on her skin and hair.

[ A pause as Blake audibly draws breath to compose herself. ]

Do we know anything about how to reverse the process?

That's probably good.

I didn't see them turn into a husk but I helped them after they broke out of it. I'm not sure how long it took, a couple weeks, maybe a month.

[andnevermore]

Good, okay. That's longer than I hoped, but it's manageable.

What did they need help with afterward? Did it hurt them?

[solitarysoul]

Just some of the husk was stuck. Not much of it. I don't think it hurt...at least they didn't act like it did.

[He's not sure SecUnit would show if it did, though.]

[andnevermore]

[ Yeeeah. She's not sure she's ever seen SecUnit actually willingly express pain, not even when she attacked it. ]

I'll... prepare for the worst anyway. Can't hurt, right? Did taking the metal off leave any injuries?

[solitarysoul]

Yeah...its usually best to do that.

[Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, but he rarely gets that hope.]

I don't think so. I didn't notice anything, at least.
