What's wrong with the answers you're getting? Give me specifics, mate.

Not wrong. Just not enough. What sort of monsters are there? Where? Why do they attack more people instead of less like other predators?

Ah, those questions. Yeah. Unfortunately, those are things we don't know ourselves yet. The anomaly guide talks a bit about what sort - but as I told you, right, they all seem to be different from one another.

And as for the rest, you're just shit out of fucking luck, mate.

No one lives to tell when they run into this stuff?

[That smirk is in his voice.]

Someone surviving an attack does not mean we understand the motives behind their behavior, or know where they come from or when they'll pop up.

You've got me there. What information can you tell me that will help me to protect myself?

Read those guides before you do anything else.

You mean, read those guides without being so skeptical at how dime-novel they are.

Any answers we give aren't gonna be much different, mate. If you don't believe them, then you won't believe us, and why should we waste our time on that? Fuck off and get your head up to speed, and then we'll be able to have a useful conversation.

Stark and Romanov will be a help with that, eh? Friends from home?

[He's never liked profanity and he inwardly winces now.]

I'll do more reading. And hopefully catch up with some of my friends. Not sure they'll be so good with me, though, if I turned up dead a few days ago.

We do get used to it here. That, and the coming back.

Not sure that's something I care to get use to. But listen, thank you. I'm going to try and find my friends. Or at least where I am exactly. Thank you for your kindness and help.

You're gonna encounter a lot of things you won't care to get used to. Death and revival will not be the worst of it.

I'll bite. What's worse than dying?

Worse than dying and coming back. It does happen, even if it's not reliable.

We saw anomalies that looked like they were made up of people that we loved.

[Okay. That's horrible. Steve makes a sort of half sigh in dismay.]

I'll... I'll be careful. I don't know what to say to that.

People have also lost body parts - fingers - as a donation to keep the Admin's strength up.

It's not always avoidable.

Donation?

[It's a good thing he didn't have breakfast.]

Who demands sacrifice like that?

You really need to start reading up, mate.

Yeah. Yeah I do. Soon as I need a break to warm up.

Planning to keep being our big hero?

I'm not a hero. But I will protect anyone and everyone I can.

What are you, then?

Just some kid from Brooklyn. But I'm going to try my best here.

Funny - last time, you told me you were an army captain.
