 	\textit{The Ninth Street Pack barged into Symian's Sanctum, howling demands incoherently and creating a huge mess as his valuable magical equipment got knocked off of its tables and shelves and onto the ground, trashed. Symian was terrified at first, fleeing deeper into the recesses of the abandoned complex he resided in, screeching, ooking, and eeking like his Shadow Name suggests he would, until he was cornered by three of these hulking beastmen in their warforms. Symian put his index and middle fingers on each side of his temples and gave the biggest, dumbest looking of them a baleful stare. It began jerking and grinding its teeth in defiance, but before long its eyes glazed over as though it were possessed, and almost immediately after that was viciously tearing its nearest Packmate apart in a robotic fashion. The body language was horrifically departed from the usual impassioned, rage-filled norm of his brethren, moving instead as though the person had his gross motor movements on strings. His Packmate's entrails were strewn about the room as the other one next to him looked on in shock.}
 
-	\textit{The rest of the Pack had arrived just in time to see their Rahu turning away from the tattered corpse of his Packmate, not even bothering to eat its flesh. Symian had kept his fingers on his temples as he walked forward away from his corner, using his new puppet to go for its next target. But then, seemingly out of nowhere from Symian's perspective, a baseball bat crashed into the back of his head, and this invader was no longer a puppet.}
