Round 6

Silra moves with practiced efficiency, her teal eyes scanning the room while addressing both concerns. Hera, you're right to be cautious—we can't afford complications now. She pulls out a small device—a portable jammer she uses for electronic surveillance. I'll set this up near the door; it'll block most signals and prevent whoever's out there from calling for help or backup. As for Abby... Silra looks up the stairs where Jeane disappeared with the unconscious girl.

Jeane, listen. We need to be smart about this. If you dose her again upstairs, we risk her waking up in an unfamiliar room—scared, confused, and potentially screaming. That's exactly what'll draw attention we don't want. She approaches the bottom of the stairs, her voice dropping to a more private tone. Besides, Halie's medical skills are downstairs. If something goes wrong with Abby after another dose, we need immediate access to someone who can help.

Silra's expression hardens slightly as she adds, And yes, I know you're frustrated about the interruption, but reckless decisions now could compromise everything we've built so far.
