Gate of Memoirs/Storm Chasing

You don't feel surprised at being sent back to Orebus, without rest, in the middle of the night. What surprises you, is that you feel okay with it.

*Elise: ! Quick, over here!
*Elise: We've got a situation!
 	
*You set down your gear and spoils from your last hunting trip and head up to the counter.
 	
*Elise has a large spread of paperwork before her, and she is desperately trying to organize them into piles.
 	
*Elise: Giselle and Noel will fill you in on the information later, but from what I've been told...
*Elise: Everyone involved in hunting the Revenants for the Inquiry, and who are fighting fit, are to be dispatched immediately.
*Elise: Apparently, a powerful storm has swept over the area and destroyed several outposts.
 	
*Noel's Voice: And lightning strikes don't simply choose their targets.
 	
*Noel comes into the room, followed by Giselle.
*Noel: It seems that Revenants are using this opportunity to harness the power of nature around them...
*Noel: ...and they've decided to raise an uproar against our hunting operations.
 	
*Giselle: Well, when you think about it, the Inquiry *has* disrupted their energy sources and chased them away from their usual feeding grounds.
 	
*Giselle: They ARE eating dead people earth, you know.
 	
*Noel: Or maybe not. Like I said, these are just sentient rocks.
*Noel: Do you really expect me to believe the intangible essence of those who died in the civil war are somehow affecting their behaviors?
 	
*Although Noel is snarking as much as he usually does, you detect a tinge of uncertainty in his tone.
*He probably believes more than he lets on, but he has appearances to keep up.
 	
*Giselle: You didn't have any objections to calling them Revenants in the first place.
 	
*Giselle: Which, by the way, is a very fitting name, because all those outposts they've destroyed were in the vicinity of known battlefields.
*Giselle: That could be one reason why they were drawn to us living folks.
 	
*So, if Giselle's theory is right and the Revenants are in fact Guardians twisted by the souls of the dead...
*Then the energy on Orebus is not simply elemental in nature. It's a rather sobering thought.
 	
*Noel: ...I'm sure there's a logical explanation to all of this.
*Noel: One that *doesn't* involve pseudoscience.
*Noel: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to watch the readings on our sensors.
 	
*Giselle watches Noel storm off, then turns to you with the same smile as ever.
 	
*Giselle: Kids can be so stubborn, am I right?
 	
*Giselle: Anyway, we really should get you dispatched. We'll need all the help we can get.
*Giselle reaches over and pulls a sheet out of the pile on Elise's counter, and hands it to you.
 	
*Some of the fields have already been filled in. Elise must have spent all night preparing them for quicker clearance.
*You sign off your name and unpack whatever you don't need from your last trip.
*For the first time since you've been assigned to the Orebus Special Inquiry,
*you begin to feel that you're facing more than just discarded Guardians hungry for energy.
