Really? Maybe I'll have to remind you of it sometimes, then.

I just know people have tried to define me because of what I am, and it never really works out like that. You shouldn't let it happen to you too.

What exactly are you? If you don't mind me asking. If you do you totally don't have to answer. I'll even accept 'shut up Caroline' as an answer.
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
Not really. We have to hide what we are, so humans don't know. Sometimes we can blend in, but it's difficult.

Would she? I don't know much about Mother, honestly, I don't know what she's like or what her abilities are. Maybe she would. I can ask her?
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
No, his blood mages involve demons and asking for power and it all sounds really weird. He acted like I asked to be a vampire just to be more powerful, I had to set him straight on that.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
That's my girl. Go ahead and give him what for, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines.

You haven't talked to her? She seemed really nice to me. She's been giving me blood bags since I got here. Otherwise I'd probably be a mummy right about now and that's gross to even think about.
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
So he gets it now? Because that's way off the mark and I may have found my material already.

No, I've only talked to Armada and Dagger. I didn't know she could give us blood bags... I've been feeding off a dragon since my supply ran out on Ajna. I think I'll have to talk to her soon.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Yeah, I told him demons aren't involved, but he still thinks drinking human blood is all about power. I've tried telling him it only makes us as powerful as we would naturally be, but he doesn't listen.

If you would consider my hair having the worst few days it has ever had in the history of my being alive constitutes as doing terribly, then I'm doing really badly.
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
I'm okay, though. It was what it was. We survived and I guess that's all I can really ask for?

Your poor hair. You had to deal with the fire arrows, right? Did one catch your hair, or something?
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Yeah, alive is good. But you're like... psychologically alright? I wasn't expecting we'd get a class A planet so soon, and I know you haven't had as much time to come to terms with things as me.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Granted I'm still not the biggest fan of our job, but I'm more okay than I was when I started. How are you doing with it all?

Only singed the ends. It could have been worse, but you would have heard me screaming if that had happened. It's more the humidity and lack of showering. That did not help anything at all.
[ Her next answer takes some time. ]
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
I don't think I'll ever be okay with this. I don't think anything can make me be okay. Being a vampire I could do. I could do the whole don't actually eat humans thing. I mean that in a 'it was possible' way.
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
I can't do the the whole don't actually kill people and destroy their homes thing here. There's no CDC-lite.
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
But what else can I do?

FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Ah. Yeah, that would do it. I've been trying not to pay attention to how gross I feel, honestly. Aren't showers great?
[ well, she's better than d'artagnan. there's that, at least. ]
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I know. It sucks, even more than it did on Ajna. I wish you weren't pulled into this, Caroline, but... You were, so we have to figure out a way to make this bearable for you.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
What helped me was thinking about how the rest of the crew depends on Green team. We're the protectors, here, we're the ones who keep everyone safe. I can just about stomach what we do if I tell myself
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
that I'm doing it to protect everyone else. It doesn't help with the last parts, but... it helps when we're being attacked.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I also trust Armada. He wants to keep the crew safe, and I think he wouldn't give us orders that didn't contribute to that goal.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Try to find something like that. Something that helps you sleep at night.

It's something to do with the false sky and the Gates. They showed up about... ten years ago now. I guess scientists are studying it, but.
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
That's when Contractors began appearing. There was even a war over one of the Gates.

Green Team has been split into cells. You'll be with me on missions. If there's anything you require, let me know.

Hey, so, I realize I kind of dropped the ball on this, but I wanted to know -- have you been getting any kind of training in shooting or hand-to-hand with anyone yet?
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I know it seems like we don't need it, considering what we are, but it really does come in handy, and I want you to be as prepared as possible for whatever comes our way.

If bootcamp is still a thing after what happened to Aeryn, you might want to join us, actually. The PT stuff is easy, but there are important classes they offer that could be really helpful.
[ after everything with the neraki and how hard the khasatsa were to take down, elena wants to make sure caroline has as much training as she can possibly stomach to make sure she's got her feet under her while she's here -- and considering how often people are transferred off this crew for whatever reason, she wants to make sure that if either she or caroline has to leave, that she knows she's left caroline with a good framework. ]
