Editing Rune (section)

===Post-[[Attack on Teacher]]===
A few days later she was at the briefing with a small group of [[The Shepherds|Shepherds]], and didn't speak up when a comment by [[Vessel]] could have led to a severe misunderstanding.<ref name="II16.2e1"> “What kind of non-English speakers?”<br/><br/>“Does it matter?” Naphtha asked.<br/><br/>There was no answer from the guy who’d called out.  Vessel, from the Shepherds.  He was one of four who sat at the same table, three on one side, one on the other.  Scribe sat two seats away from Vessel, her elbows on the table and her hands covering her mouth.  Her costume still didn’t suit her.  She hadn’t joined the Fallen like a lot of the racist shitheads had after Gold Morning, which counted for a bit of something, but I felt like I needed to see more from her before I could stop thinking of her as Rune from Empire Eighty Eight.<br/><br/>And one of those things I needed to see was her speaking up instead of being silent when a question with that kind of undertone came from her corner. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/08/17 Excerpt] from [[From Within 16.2]]</ref> She later showed off her small group consisting of [[Vessel]], Accolade and [[Armiger]].<ref name="II16.2e3"/>

Much later after the immediate second Shin crisis Scribe passed and her group were deployed, under [[Moonsong]], to deal with the [[Shin Defense Initiative]]. Scribe harassed [[Tristan Vera]] during [[the Second Shin Crisis]].<ref name="II17.7">“Hey, Capricorn,” Scribe called out.<br><br>“You’re still on video, Scribe.  Do you want to say something else that’s going to make you look bad in front of your superiors?”<br><br>Tristan sounded so tired.<br><br>“Heard you didn’t reconcile with Reconciliation.”<br><br>Tristan looked over at her.<br><br>Scribe touched her heart, before stating a slightly overdramatic, shaking-her-head-while-speaking, “I’m really sorry.  That’s a shame.  I know you were close, once.”<br><br>“He’s a good guy,” Tristan said.  “Deserves everything good.”<br><br>“He is,” another Shepherd said.  Not one of Scribe’s flock.  “I hear good things.  I wish he’d stuck with us.”<br><br>One of Scribe’s retinue leaned over to his female friend, hand cupped over mouth, whispering something.  The friend laughed, and started to pass it on to Scribe.<br><br>Tristan got to his feet, and in that same second, the guy cape who’d just whispered the ‘joke’ to his friend took an abrupt step away from the wall, toward Tristan.  There was a swagger to his body language, like he expected a fight.<br><br>“What are you doing?” Tristan asked.<br><br>“What are you doing?” the guy responded, emphasizing the ‘you’.<br><br>Tristan stared at him.  The guy stared back.<br><br>The other Shepherd that had said something kind about Reconciliation stood off to the side, actively not looking at the potential altercation. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/22 Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.7]]</ref>
