[Theatrical Muse: The first time I saw...]

Don’t scream.
Don’t think. Think equals scream.

That’s pretty much it. First time I saw Urkonn, I didn’t stop to think what he was, this beast in my rooms, didn’t stop to think what he wanted or why me, I just reacted. Tried to get away, get me some space.

‘Course, he  was stronger than me. Faster as well. Tough. I emptied a cartridge into him, would’a killed a human. Knocked him out for about a second. Like one of those kid’s spark guns. Threw me through a wall for that.

Really, he could’a killed me, that fight. One of the few beasts ever managed to best me. Not that he was tryin’ to kill me – the old beast just had a temper. I zap him with a gun blast, he wrecks my home. Never said he was well-adjusted. Just wanted to teach me about Slaying. And he did.

Within a week, I killed him.

Yeah, he taught me well.
