Raven surfs social media in search of reactions to the latest major monster incident, a hydra attack on the highway in Austin that was dismissed by the Mist as a hundred-car pileup caused by a drunk driver.

"Ah, no, my burger addiction is on account of being an Amazon, not a Missourian. By 'the burgers here' I mean the ones on Amazon bases."

"Hell yes I'm down for steak tartare!"
It does, in fact, happen to be on the menu for one of the cafeterias.
