"The reversed High Priestess indicates that you are busy all the time, trying to distract yourself from the problems at hand, hoping they will sort themselves out."

Blood was her song and by gods Oberst Soluk's Gene Altered form could *dance*.
You'd be forgiven if you didn't think the Wendigo was female. Hells, I did as well. Until I saw her.
Until I saw her kill.
Then there was no mistaking it.
An extended hand, inviting; an exploded chest cavity in its wake. A spin this time, not of joy but one of decapitation by way of a bladed tail. A roar that howled to a tune that no one could hear but her, mane crimson red, hiding the blood that she pulled out of human and Chimera alike.
It was beautiful. I can't believe I'm saying it but it was. Why are we even here fighting if there's beings like her? What can we do? We aren't dance partners. We're discarded things on the floor to be stepped over.
What was that?
...
Oh, you mean afterwards--after we got back to the ship? The Oberst had changed back, you see. It looked like it took the effort of a hundred warp engines but she did. There was joy on the Wendigo's face as she killed but now it was abject *horror*. And what did I think afterwards?
That's easy. I'm terrified. - Sub Oberst Jack Postern of the 301st Ice Wing.
