"Can you believe they spun fibers out of wide-eyed organelles and didn’t think to call it what it is" (2023)

The last group of Voices are called The Unknown because their Whispers have a hidden component to them. There's always a "second actor" of sorts that is never identified, perhaps not even to The Voices themselves.

Return Fire is known for his snarky attitude and blunt remarks, but they always come from a good place. This level of honesty is probably way he's become the de facto leader of the trio, but internally, he doesn't feel as if he's a leader, just good at making decisions that benefit his friends as well.
His Whisper is "Strike" which causes bizarre hit and run accidents. The one doing the hit and run is never caught. His Second Form, which is faster than most, has little control of himself, so he will hit and claw at foes until they are nothing but a pile of flesh and blood in the dirt.

Safe House is another shy Voice, but she's so anxious that just being around other Voices can be overwhelming to her. Even around Return Fire and Open Space, she often stays off to the side, clenching at her key.
Her Whisper is "Hide" which causes disappearances that have strange circumstances around them, like happening in the middle of the day in crowded areas or when someone looks away for "only a second." The culprits are never found and leave very little evidence that a crime even occurred. Safe House's Second Form is virtually unknown as she becomes so overwhelmed by her Whisper that she hides in tiny spaces.

Open Space is sweet and kind, but she can also be a little sassy if she thinks she can get away with it. She is overall generally happy and curious, which often leads the group on some interesting adventures. Loyal and dependable, she tries a little harder than Return Fire to pull Safe House out of her shell, but she's had very little progress.
Her Whisper is "Push" which causes one to "accidentally" push others off high places. This often happens in crowded areas, so the culprit will often get away in the confusion. She has some control over her Second Form, but similar to Return Fire, she may keep pushing a target until they're pushed flat.
Something very unique about Open Space is that her marking is on her back while other Voices with markings have theirs on their front.

That's it for all The Voices! I plan on drawing more of these little guys when I go back to draw up the locations. The next posts will be The Immortal Objects, who I grouped in a similar way.
