Claudia took in H.G.'s pallor and demeanor and realized the potential doom that this spelled out. She paused for a moment, pursing her lips and making a bit of a face, letting out a long sigh before going to sit down next to H.G. on the floor. She broke off her chocolate bar, eating it before answering. "We - Artie, Pete, Myka, and I - went around to get the pieces. It was disassembled and stored in different places to keep it safe. I got buried under rock. Myka got arrested amidst rioting and police brutality. Pete got stabbed and - um. Well, died."
Her voice caught in her throat as she explained it, not able nor even trying to hide how that entire thing had made her feel. She knew that she had been left buried. She knew Myka wasn't safe in police custody. She knew Pete had died. It was - even undone, it wasn't a good scenario to think out. "Brotherhood of the Black Diamond, the Templar remnants, didn't take too kindly to the efforts and that's how I got buried and Pete got stabbed. Same member. He's - trying to get Artie to undo the Astrolabe now, but you know how stubborn Artie is."
Claudia paused and broke another piece of the chocolate off, this time holding it out to offer to H.G. if she wanted it. "And there's a massive, massive library. I doubt even you could read all of the books they have."
