"They're going to take us to Mercy Magical in Edinburgh," Zelda said, still in her quiet tone, no emotion. She didn't know this because they'd told her. She knew this because MA&C was processing most of the fog scene, and Ross had contracted Mercy a few weeks ago for emergency medical situations. As far as she knew, they were the first people to go through.
