Alcide is slowly gathering information about this place as he goes. And maybe it's good that he hasn't had time to cope. He feels like if he stops even for a second, he'll lose his cool. He's been altered and that pisses him off. For as much as he fights his wolf, he's pissed that anyone would take it from him.

He'll probably forego the vests. Wolves don't much care for being encumbered in any way. He usually heals quicker than the ordinary joe as well. It's hard not to let a different mentality than what he's always had take over right away.

She smiles at him and he gives her a crooked smile back. It probably would have been a shame if they had to be enemies right off the bat before he had a chance to explain himself.

Alcide takes in all this information, the good and the bad, and tries to process it all. "So maybe they're trying to cause damage to get to the computer." People dying isn't good, but Alcide knows it's also a price you pay for change of any kind. His home is going through a change, a big change, and lots of people are dying as people accept a new reality. "Have people tried to get in on the medical facilities, see if they can figure out what they did to us? See if it can be reversed?"
