"Who wouldn't run from that?" is Cal's immediate retort.

There's no subterfuge on Cal's mind right now - he really, truly doesn't get it. Maybe it was thanks to spending half his life being told about the Sith, another Meta-supremacy group that he'd never heard referred to as anything but evil. The Yakashbah might not be bogeymen in the same sense, but some of the ideas they pushed made Cal's blood run cold.

"The Yakashbah don't care who gets hurt. I don't think they ever have. If those people ever set foot in the Last Ward, they wouldn't be stopping to watch or post pictures promoting them!"
