(You can be wherever you want.)

Sauron crawled for hours, pausing every time he heard a single footstep or voice anywhere nearby. Finally, he reached the vent above Bay Five, kicked it open, and fell down into the middle of Easy's bladed combat drills. The Protos, stunned, stepped back quickly before coming to attention. Sauron returned their salutes and walked toward the medbay onboard the Fist of Mordor, taking the time to buzz Gabe and Echo, who were working with Arkady on fortifying the bay's blast doors, and expanding the genome-scan denial system they'd built. Sauron gestured for the two to take a seat as he began running coolant IVs and other repair systems into his arms and chest, where he'd been stabbed by the Questioner.

"Guys, we have to fortify this place. I had... visions. Avgust is going to kill us, somehow. I don't know why, but the vision of him said it was for... power. I broke the cycle, but I nearly killed Scythe. It was an accident, but if I go outside here, Avgust will shoot me. I need you to post a watch for Easy. It'll be good training. Start with Anver. The kid's a crack shot, so if anyone comes in here, they won't go anywhere but back out. Can you do that for me?"

Sauron's squadmates nodded, left, and began their work as Sauron continued treating his wounds.
