"Miasma?" Darleon frowned, still clutching his son tight. "But he's not in a high level of corrosion, how could--"
"No," Zein glanced at Radia, and then at someplace they couldn't see. "The energy structure is different from accumulated miasma in Esper's body, but it feels familiar."

Han Shin gasped, and Bassena frowned deeply. Darleon, however, had removed himself from the frontline so much that he was rather out of touch with what was happening in the Sentinel community. The stuff about Specter, while it was unknown to civilians, had been circulating among espers since Trinity released the black gate anomaly recording--the one in which the squad, including Zein, was getting transported to the Deathzone, allegedly.
