Shatterverse: Current

When she gets a choice, which isn't often necessary considering how well Leah knows her by now, Rachel prefers not to work alone. Often it's best for her to be alone during her specific portion of a mission. But the job itself, the traveling, the planning, strategizing, working out the details on site: Rachel prefers a team.

Teams are not always available in Shatter. Rather than be kept idle, that means Rachel is occasionally sent on "Scout this, keep your radio on, tell me what you see" missions.

Which are way more interesting than "What does the wall of your living room look like when you stare at it from sun-up to sun-down" missions.

Today, Rachel is walking in sunny Oklahoma. The scouting includes a number of flash-ins appearing in this area who never seem to make it to the farm, Smallville, or Metropolis. Odd when they're the closest civilized areas.

She's been flying most of the day but for now, she's actually wearing her shoes instead of carrying them in her talons.
