(Anyone up for some Mad Max-esque action? Sorry about the delay, but I promise I want to see this story through till the end ;) )

Platinum leaned on one of the trailers as everyone else milled around restocking their ammo. Having already done so, she found her mind wandering. This job's been interesting for sure so far, she thought. But it's really taxing too... It also didn't quite make sense to her that the government had enough money to fund a Grimm documentary but not enough to supply a proper police force in the cities. It seemed like military training was consistently diverted towards the Huntsmen/Huntress cause, leaving a barely filled vacuum for crime to flourish beneath the citizens' noses. Are we lost in the simplicity of the past? she wondered. She knew firsthand what was slowly happening. The infrastructure of the kingdoms was steadily growing more and more flimsy as criminal groups and frustrated individuals sought to drive their own change into the age-old system. After Beacon I'll be able to go straight into field work, she reminded herself. She glanced at Oliver and felt reassured that she wouldn't be alone in her quest. Even if the world hasn't changed yet, some people are noticing the changes all around us.

The rest of her musings were interrrupted by a black blur whooshing through the camp. it slid to a stop in the dirt and turned, revealing a bony black horse with a jutting bony growth wrapped around its head. Black Mare, she thought. it was followed by a second, revealing a duo of the creepy things. They turned and began to run away, but not before Platinum had an idea.

"Everyone in the trailers," she yelled. She jumped on top of one of the trucks as the cameraman scrambled to get inside. "Director, let's try driving after those things! We won't be able to keep up on foot!" Seeing her orders being followed was motivating. "Guys, we'll get on top of the trailers and watch for if they try to attack us, " she called to her fellow guardsmen. The convoy set off and quickly gathered speed, chasing after the two obsidian-and-bone horses. Platinum readied her rifle, although she hoped that this time they could get some decent footage without any typical Grimm-bashing in it.
