    [Game Turn 3]

    Mr Venture turns to the stormer and with a mirthless grin devoid of any feeling which sends a shiver down tank's spine and says "my dear boy, do you honestly think i would send 7 wreackless operatives into the heart of central mort on a suicide mission armed to the teeth with new experimental weapons and ammo. No, its a waste of your time and my money, not to mention the sh*t i would get into for letting loose operatives on the public at large, no instead the weapons we have provided you are for use ONLY when you see the ebon and the Glyph armour, if you discharged those weapons in a built up area the death toll would be catastrophic in which case it would be i that would send cloak after you should you survive"

    "this leads my on to your third question that you asked, we believe that the ebon His name is Yule Law, is trying to find a way out of mort city so that leads us to believe that law will either try to take a ship off world at the space port or he'll try and catch a super sonic train to the other side of the planet that means he might be going for the gauze rail station, there the best leads we have because if he says in mort city he's dead"

    Venture pauses for a moment that emotionless smile humourless utterly cold still staring at you, and says "Now Mr stormer let me answer your 2nd question. Maybe my description was a little strong of Darknight base. really reports suggest its more of an outpost really, i wont lie to you Darknight are a tough opposition and you can be sure they'll have sentry's and most probably guard towers at this location but this place is more of a forward outpost really if Darknight had a fully armed and operation base on mort mr slayer would know about it and i guarantee you cloak division would be sent to irradiate the base, no really you can expect light to medium resistance with no artillery or heavy weapon support as i said the watch towers are about the most you'll have to deal with there might be as many as 20 Darknight operatives inside this outpost, its most probably quite small hidden away somewhere but if you feel like your not up to the task and if you manage to find the base simply COMS us and we will take care of it, though of course you wont get your extra 200 credits bonus or extra weapons from dark lament i assume your happy with that stormer"

    - - - - - -

    Mr Venture then turns his gaze apon the human "aaahh mr Geist i believe" (its only then that you all realize that the files and paperwork on his desk are actually data and statics on you and your fellow squad mates)

    "it seems that you at least have a brain worth discussing things properly with"

    "it depends on what you mean by operational setbacks, i would of course ask you to refrain from contacting the media on this type of BPN no one from 3rd eye news is to accompany you on this mission.you are correct Mr Geist I'd rather that the general public didn't see anything they shouldn't see. If you have your own video recording equipment i don't mind you using it you can sell images of your squad killing Darknight operatives all day long to the media for all i care, however there are 2 stipulations to this: (1) i want to see ALL the footage you have before it gets sent to the media and (2) nothing of the prototype armour or dark lament is to be sold to the media without consulting me first." he pauses for a moment "are we agreed mr Geist?"

    - - - - - - - -

    Mr Venture seems to listens to Tali as she puts her case forward, after a few moments he seems to forget about Tali and starts to study his paperwork in front of him. After Tali finishes after a few moments he puts down the papers stands up from his desk and slowly applauds in a sarcastic way. "well done my dear well done indeed i haven't been this amused in a long long time" he sits back down again "Im fully aware of who you are and what you did for us on aurora, this is partly the reason why you have been given such big bonuses"

    "BUT don't you dare assume that just because you completed one mission for us im impressed in any way with you at all. That little speech about the space station and teleporting almost brought a tear to my eye really it did, i can see your strong spirited and potentially you will make a very powerful necanthrope indeed but for now my dear remember who you are and who your superiors are. Im growing tired of all this rabble."

    Mr Venture stands up from his desk again and as he begins to speak he starts to grown in size two thick tentacles unwrap from underneath his suit his skin turns dark black and hardens it looks like his skin is made from coal, giving me a terrifying look to him

    "now my patience grows thin, yes you may get killed, yes you might not get your nice weapons or money but this is why you are trained operatives. if you feel that i am not providing you with accurate information or i am holding back information then by all means accept the BPN and complain to my superiors"

    "i have been honest with you from the very start if its more information you require then simply ask me for it, i'll give you some of the technical data on the suit, its vital stats and glyph's that are on the suit as soon as our mainframe systems are back on line"

    [DM: out of the game]: In other words when i write up a document about it

    [back in game]

    Venture then says:
    "I though your squad was a professional team since you handled the aurora mission very professionally so i assumed you'd have no problem with a simple snatch and grab mission like this, now i have been totally honest with you so if you would be so kind as to stop acting like the rest of your race and start thinking i'll be glad to help you out in any way i can just ask for what you want on the COMS channel and i'll have my lab send you the data via your COMS channel"

    with that Mr venture returns to his previous state a small old frail looking ebon in his red suit.
    "now if you'll be so kind i have allot of work to do." Mr Venture hand you a piece of paper with a number on it "this is the COMS frequency to our Op's centre here at dark lament if you have any further questions they can help you and any questions they can't answer i will COMS you when i have the answer's"

    "i hope this is to your satisfaction madam?"

    within a few moments a member of the dark lament legal team arrives with a contract drafted up saying that you will receive your promised weapon and 500 credits should you complete your mission plus the extra 200 credits should you locate and destroy the Darknight outpost.

    "if there is anything you wish to add to the contact please do so now, otherwise sign it and we can begin the mission."

    [DM: out of the game]: basically we've been P!ssing around here long enough i want to get the game started, unless you have anything else REALLY important to ask I'd suggest you get moving.

    Tank reads over the contract:

    "what about my free meal? Zmek said something about me getting a free meal and him getting ebon stuff i dont see anything about my free meal"

    Tank then looks over at zmek feeling the cold rage behind his shades turns back to Mr Ventrue seeing the look of puzzlement on his face

    "oh erm never mind im just thinking out loud again"

    *Tank signs the contract*

    Quietly watching the whole event play itself out Squall waits content to let Tal and the others handle the proceedings, happy with the information provided he signs the contract.

    "Never trust an ebon....even when it's not an ebon..." Zmek spoke the words under his breath, rising from his seat and pacing to the desk. Scanning the contract quickly at arms length he shrugs slightly then signs with an intricate, looping scrawl on the page.

    He turned away from the desk, back to Mr.Venture and looked at Squall "Feel any different?......me neither..."

    Straightening his coat and brushing a few strands of milk white hair from his face he walks towards the door without looking back.

    "Coming for your free meal stormer? I believe everyone else is having humble pie..."

    Squall turns to Zmek

    "You feel superior with your "mastery"of ebb, this one holds more power in his finger than you do in your whole body, perhaps it is you who should be humbled"

    Turning to the door Squall pushes past Zmek and walks casually towards the storage lockers

    "Humbled? By a Necanthrope? Why should I be humbled by my own destinty Shaktar? The universe is filled with greater and lesser beings, we are placed within this puzzle, each with our own part to play. If you choose to play your part grovelling on your belly then so be it. That must be your place. If you choose to make your own place at the table of the Gods then that must be the path you will follow. Whether you reach your goal or not is imaterial.....I thought you of all of us understood that to die like a god you must first live like one."

    [Game turn 4]

    Satisfied that you all have signed the contract (i assume that Tali will) Mr Venture turns as you are leaving and says:

    "Feel free to look around the crime scene if you like its downstairs in the complex below us, as i said my fellow assoiates and i here in dark lament feel he will try to flee mort city anyway he can, The gauze rail station and mort space points as possible routes of escape if we come up with anything else i'll COMS you"

    "oh and i forgot to say im afriad we currently dont have any optical devices for viewing the Glyph armour while its cloaked. But as i said earlier its a very complicated glyph to activate its most probable he hasnt figure out how to use it yet before leaving he'll need to figure out how to use all the glyh's on the armour in order to escape, however i can tell you when the armour is cloaked the Glyph armour does give off high pulses of ebb so if you have a high enough level in the ebb ability detect <(Tali and Zmek check your charachter sheets)> you should be able to track him as the armour radiates a higher ammount of flux than most normal ebons and brain wasters"

    "as i said i'll feed more information to you as i get it in the attack they managed to get a hacker to hit our mainframe computers which is partly how they succeded in there plan,"

    Hulbourn exits the room and decends to the supply room. Makes his application for his equipment and purchases some extras.

    Now equiped with 2 x silenced, flash supressed + sighted FEN 603's
    10 x Clips of ammo (5 x HP, 5 X HiVis)
    5 x of traquilisers
    2 x Full medikits
    and a bunch of other things that I'll need later in the mission.

    Once the rest of the Squad signs thier section of the contract she looks again at Mr Venture in his refmormed
    shape. He must have been a Ebon to start with and seems far from happy to now be a Necanthrope and not overly pleased with his job neither. Sad really .

    She slides her thumb along the edge of her Sword and then streak a bloodied smear on the page and then signs over it. She places the contract on the desk just to the left of all the data sheets on the team , and leaves whistling " Oh what a beautiful morning"

    Upon entering the store room she see the flux items waiting for her , Zmek had already put them for her.
    She scans through the ammo and loaded up with clips for her FENS.

    Gaunt heads to the armoury first, eager to get his hands on his new toys. After all, like his papa used say, "There's nothing like a big gun to impress the ladies."
    The scene of the theft is the next place to go once the team is ready. Ordinarily the thought of tackling any force which could break into Dark Lament would have terrified him but for the time being all that was on his mind was getting out to play.

    Heading for the direction of the armoury tank starts smiling, this is what its all about working for the best company in the universe, getting all the cool toys and getting paid to use them, after kitting up with the vairous things that were on order tank heads to the kitchens to get his free meal.

    his next step then will be to the crime scene, tank knew his brain wasnt up to the task of an investigation better leave that to the more intellegent members of the team. his job was to find the ebon and bash him over the head repetadly until he gave up, tank liked that job, jaws opening wide in a semi snarl/grin tank snaps his jaws shut with an audiable click.

    tank says "lead the way squall"

    who knows tank might get lucky and find a vital clue by accident, but what was more probably was tank is going to bump into something expensive and break it.
    on to the crime scene

    once Tali'Einea put the fens in thier hip holsters and finishes playing with the voice activated fun she jacks the new toys to her death suit and uses the comms freq given to them to request a buildling plan and schematice and feed on all the cameras to be colleted .

    [Game turn 4]

    As you leave Mr Ventures office you cant help but wonder what you've gotten yourselves into (don't worry I've looked at the stats for the suit your more than capable of taking on the suit and the owner in it)
    you are met at the lifts by a small Wesley looking ebon by the name of page, he will be your guide to the Research and development buildings on the lower levels of the dark lament complex. you enter the lifts and page hits the ground floor button and as a few minutes pass of uncomfortable silence passes while in the lift the team reach the ground floor of the dark lament building you are led through a maze of corridors and passageways through the very bowels of the dark lament complex as everywhere you look that dull pale light shines everywhere which makes the corridors look like they stretch off into infinity. Finally you emerge at the rear end of the dark lament facility and cross into the Research and Development sectors by means of a glass tube that looks onto the streets of mort below the rain patters on the glass around you once you cross the glass corridor you reach the first of the doors that leads into the R&D section of dark lament, page turns to each of you and you are all handed a metal arm band to wear on your arm. page tells you "keeps this arm band on you at all times while in the R&D building, believe me your life depends on it" as you pass through a series of security gates you feel as if you are being watched by something or someone as most of the doors have at least one camera and a plethora of glowing glyph's on them, what's more interesting is that zmek and Tali do not loose there ability to channel ebb you still have full flux points as you enter the complex. as you enter the main area of the R&D sectors dark lament shock troops eye you suspiciously from there guard stations anyone of them looks like they could chew you up and spit you out so you decide its best not to taunt them, zmek and Tali notice that every single guard in here can channel flux and all there armour glows with the power of ebb.

    You are brought to a large area with a HUGE 30 foot metal door which has SCL 5 written in 10 foot letters across the door. two sets of Dual linked thresher cannons on wall mounts are pointed on you and two mech's are guarding the door they both lumber to one side as the huge metal doors begin to open inward to reveal the labs and R&D stations, from here you are brought to a large building on its own and you enter by way of a small door on the east side of the building, the structure opens out into a large warehouse as the first thing you notice when you enter is the HUGE gaping hole at least 9 feet in diameter in the south wall of the building this is most likely the terrorist entry point, rubble and smashed equipment lie scattered along the floor large chunks of wall ceiling and.......with what you can only guess are the remains of one very unlucky guard who was standing next to the wall when it blew, obviously the clean up crew have not been in to sort the place out yet they seem to be waiting for you to check the place out and leave.

    To the north is the research platform here is where you are told the suit was kept up on the platform there are cables and a large metal table where the suit would have been laid down on. various computer terminals light up indicating test results and proxy data from the suit before it was taken, to the west there seems to be an opening and another corridor leading down into another area you can't quite see where.

    A dark lament employee greets you as you enter he introduces himself as Kaylen, he is C.O of security in this sector and any questions you have about the crime scene can be directed to him, also to the left of Kaylen is an ebon in a lab coat her name is crystal she was head of research for the suit and can answer any questions you have on the suit its capabilities, strengths and weakness of the suit,

    what you do now is up to you


    [end of turn]

    if you want to ask questions to the members of the dark lament team, security guards or kaylen and crystal you can do so on the COMMS channel and i'll answer them for you as soon as possible,

    *Surveying the scene Squall wonders to himself"

    "Brave Ebons to attack here......., Brave or foolish"

    *Turning to the squad*

    "Ok, Zmek, take a look at that entry point. Your our explosives experts maybe you can find something that might lead to the Darknight base"

    "Tali, I suggest you talk to the Ebon(Crystal) about the suit and find out its capabilities, were gonna need to know what it can do"

    "Gaunt, Tank and Geist,your with me.Well take a look at the crime scene. Kaylen ide appreciate it if you would join us"

    *Waiting for the others Squall starts scanning the area, noticing something on the ground by the storage area he moves towards it*
    Ok how are we gonna work this alien? Will you PM us if we notice something so we can ask questions etc?

    Gaunt can already feel his pulse increasing as he walks through the massive armoured doors; Scl 5 and massive security both contribute to his excitment. Already his senses become more aware as adrenaline courses through his body- he hears the hiss of hydralics from the mechs on either side, the individual clicks as each of the shaktar's claws strike the composite surface, the faint smell of charred flesh hangs in the air, a shiver runs down as he notices the almost imperceptably pulsating glyphs on the walls. This was how to know you were alive!
    He paused after passing through the blast doors to get his bearings...

    "I'll check out the security office. Any camera footage and trained combat operative witnesses should tell us far more about the Dark Night capabilities and strategies than some lab technician."
    Turns to Kaylen.
    "Were you here during the attack? And another thing where are the bodies of the attackers who were killed? Venture said only one got away, right? How was the identity of that last survivor discovered?"

    "The sound of your orders. oh squad leader, move the very substance of my existance..."

    Zmek slowly casts his gaze across the scene. Dragging his attention from one item to the next, taking in the relative positions of blast fragments and scorch marks, at last he moves. Methodically, step by slow step through the debris. He savours the smell in the air, the cordite, the ozone the still discernable scent of burnt flesh and fresh blood lingering in the tranquility that now grips the room where so recently there was chaos.

    Crunching through the debris of the south wall Zmek approaches the hole and looks closely at the damage, peering into the darkness beyond. He kicks through the dirt looking for remains of explosives, detonators or timing devices then clambers through the hole and looks to see if he can find where the attackers would have hidden when they detonated their explosives.

    Continuing his search he keys the comms channel "So Crystal," he mouths the name carefully like someone chewing glass "you don't mind if I call you Crystal do you?" He continued without waiting for an answer "Any rotten apples in your team? Any naughty little ebons with a grudge who might sell their souls to Darknight for a few credits?"

    on hears squall's orders tank falls in beside squall as they procedd through the crime scene all of tanks limited brain power focused on trying to find any clue as to who did this and where they might be going. tank stays behind squall as they approach the unidentified object on the ground not wanting to destory what little evdience remains with his lumbering power armour. tank will stand 3 feet back from the rest of the team surveying the sorrounding area and will question one or two of the workers that are left in the lab as to what happened.

    Giest observes the behaviour of Crystal and Kaylen as the Zmek and Gaunt question them. Something doesn't feel right about them. While keeping an eye on the two, he walks towards the body of the dead guard to check for any pre-explosion wounds, that would over looked as cause of death.

    After a looooooooooooong pause the game kicks off again

    the game turn will be broken down into 3 parts, one for Gaunt, squall, Tank and Geist one for zmek and one for Tali, i would have PM'ed you all individually what you see and be crafty but id like to get the game back under way properly so we'll just make an exception this once and say you all spot stuff at the same time,

    [game turn 5]

    Gaunt, Tank, Geist and Squall's turn

    As Kaylen begins to take you around the crime scene you notice is that there are scorch marks all along the outer rim of the research platform. Kaylen tells you that somehow the attacking team were able to use there ebon powers in the warehouse which is what they think caused the scorch marks even though the glyph's on the walls should stop them from doing this. there were two teams of terrorists that attacked , one was a diversionary team it was a large force consisting of 12 to 15 men that attacked and breached the outer walls of this compound the 2nd team was a small strike force consisting of only 4 terrorists they blasted there way in here used there ebon abilities to either knock out or kill the guards that there stationed here and then made of with the new glyph armour.

    Kaylen leads you up along the back wall where the computer terminals are and says that during the attack the camera's caught some of there actions Commissar gets the video footage and its blurry but it does show the back wall explode inward and 4 ebon's enter and start shooting up the place one jumps up onto the table grabs the suit and makes a run for it leaving the other 3 ebon's to fight off the guards there tactics weren't very well planned out it was a simple snatch and grab job by the looks of it very sloppy work. the 3 ebon's are in the end taken down by extreme prejudice by dark lament security forces and none survive. the Bio tanks contain various coloured goo and Kaylen refuses to say what's in them its in no way related to the theft of the suit and its part of another dark lament project which is off limits too you.

    tank doesn't really get much information from the lab techs that are around there stories corroborate most of what's on the video tape. once the shooting started most of the lab tech's hid behind or in the labs the terrorists didn't even pay them any notice one of the lab techs does tell tank that when one of the terrorists were shot he dropped something on the ground near the storage area he couldn't quite see what it was but the security guards seems to have missed it its still over there probably. the bodies that Geist checks were all killed by either small arms fire (or in some cases) ripped limb from limb (possibly close combat weapons or ebb use) you can see Kaylen sweating a little as he talking to the Shaktar Geist defiantly has a bad feeling about this one.


    Zmek

    From what you can see the explosion was inward from this you can deduce that the explosives were placed outside on the back wall of the warehouse. amongst the rubble and debris you find a small lump of twisted metal and electronics it smells faintly of TCP (yes they have TCP on mort) which means it was a microcircuit its not a standard model of trigger switch you recognise but you can pick up a faint resonating hum from it like its actually reacting to the ebb that your sub consciously channelling yourself. you allow yourself the momentary pleasure of opening yourself up to the power of the ebb and the trigger comes to life. Smiling to yourself you now realise how the bomb was triggered. a very large but compact amount of an explosive called compound XII was used to blow the whole in the wall you think its pretty nasty stuff very powerful but highly unstable as its still in testing phase. Crystal is both kind and polite to you which for some reason irritates you.

    "no mr Zmek there are no as you say rotten apples in our group, we are one of the highest ranking groups of scientists in this dark lament facility i cannot think of anyone that would betray the company like that why do you think someone would?" as she looks into your eyes you can see the innocence there the absolute shock there to think that someone would betray SLA industries like this you take a deep breath to calm yourself and then turn to face her.

    Tali

    Tali talks with crystal for some time about the suit and its capabilities (which i will post up here tomorrow) it seems that the armour is an advanced suit which out paces most of the current armour that ebon's wear today. It has a series of complicated runes and glyph's in it. most of which unless you have the access disks will be impossible to use. there are one or two features of the suit that the ebon will be able to use if he figures out how to put the suit on (all of which i will post tomorrow)
    The suit also has a limited power supply it has 1000 hours currently after that he will need to find a power outlet somewhere to recharge the suit. it would need to be somewhere big with a huge power generator as the suit requires a massive energy bust to start the initial charge of the suit.

    "Your naivity is almost quaint my dear, this is Mort, every inch of the planet is tainted with the stench of corruption, I see no reason to believe these hallowed halls are any different..." Zmek pockets the triggering device, an interesting trinket.

    Clearly these attackers relied upon their ebb powers from start to finish in their mission, from detonating the explosives to using ebb weapons. Do they have some special power or is it simply that the ebb suppressing glyphs don't work.

    Looking around at the others in their various tasks Zmek decides to test the situation and attempts to reality fold across to where Tali is talking to Crystal.

    Noticing Tank peering at something on the ground he calls over the comms link "What did you find Stormer? Not a chicken leg I hope or we'll be here all day."

    Squall

    "Hmmmmm, thank you Kaylen, if I have any further questions i know where to find you"

    *Squall moves towards Tank to see what he has found, Tapping his com bead on the way* COMS CHANNEL -->

    Arriving at the object Squall asks tank

    "What is it Tank?"

    Gaunt looks around as he continues to talk to Kaylen after Squall moves over to Tank; "Where did the diversionary attack occur and do you have any footage of it? And another thing. Did that other group seem to have any particular target in mind or did they just cause as much mayhem as possible. It can't have been executed any more amaturishly than this attack. It's strange that the terrorists would have committed such a large force to a high risk mission and then been so careless acquiring the target."

    He paused for a moment before focusing on Kaylen. "Have you considered that this might have been an attack of oppportunity by a rogue element of the terrorists rather than their main objective?"

    Tank waits patiently while the science teams give there colorful accounts of the attack on the facility. when the last is finished tank moves over to the spot where he was told was on the ground. without touching the items on the tank tank looks down and see's 3 items, An ID badge of some sort which looks real enough. what looks to be a CDR and a peice of paper with a number written on it. "111159"

    *hmmmmm clues* tank thinks (his brain over heating with the strain)

    tank waits for one of the others to pick up the items as there is no way he will risk damaging the only lead they have as to where the suspects have gone.

    [Game Turn 5]

    Again the game turn will be broken down into 4 sections. (and i want Havelock to PM what how EXACTLY he is going to (ahem) acquire the information from Kaylen, its important you remember detail havelock it doesn't matter if you miss the next few game turns we'll assume this has already happened i can edit it into one of the game turns when i know what you do and how badly you do it to Kaylen


    Commissar
    Kaylen Turns to answer to yours questions while the others look at the objects tank found. "in answer to your questions Operative, I like the rest of the security team was at the outer parameter wall defending the attack from the 2nd force of terrorists. The 2nd attack came at the east side of the base it was a large force of about 10 to 15 merc's and terrorists
    that hit us. they took us totally by surprise all available units in the area were sent by the security chief to the area as they came flooding in" Kaylen pauses for a moment to retrieve the security footage from the computer files "we have the entire skirmish captured from an outside camera the fight lasted 8 mins which from our tacticians have guessed was enough time for the primary strike team to enter here and steal the suit. The attack happened at 11am the battle was over by 11:15am we called for help at 11:30 you arrived at 11:55am its now 12:03pm, we believe that the attack on the outer wall was simply a means to get our attention they were a suicide squad sent in as a diversion, cloak division have informed us that they have seen this type of behaviour time and time again however we've never had a darknight incursion this deep into the heart of dark lament, they have never once managed to attack Dark lament head quarters thankfully but they did attack our labs (which is on a different part of the base) we actually haven't considered the fact that it could have been an attack of opportunity by a rogue element of the terrorists, we just assumed that since both attacks happened at the same time they were coordinated attacks. as you continue to talk you hear Squall's order (see COMS channel) as Geist approaches with a twisted smile of pleasure and a dangerous shine in his eyes, "excuse me Kaylen would you mind accompanying me to one of the private labs i wish to conduct an interview of my own" as Kaylen is led away by Geist you see them both enter a lab and the door clicks shut as the door is locked behind them. "poor b@st@rd" you think to yourself better go see what the rest of the squad has found.


    Gaunt, Tank, Geist and Squall's turn

    Tank waits for the rest of the squad to turn up (i assume one of you picks up the stuff). as tank says there are 3 items dropped on the ground, on closer inspection the badge looks more like magnetic ID badge for a locker that you would use at either a bus/train or airport it has a barcode on the badge and a number nothing more. the piece of paper is simply a piece of paper nothing special there the numbers are hand written "111159" scrawled onto the page its looks like they were written in a hurry. the CDR looks like its encoded its a silver CDR with nothing written on it.no one has noticed that you have picked up these items.

    Zmek and Tali

    As zmek begins to reality fold over to where Tali is talking to crystal every ebon in the place looks around as they can feel zmek channel the power of the ebb. Zmek feels like there is a hammer being pounded in his head the amount of concentration required is about 10 times what it would be to normally do such a trivial thing as fold yourself over to Tali, by rights you shouldn't be able to do this at all and then it dawns on you suddenly what if the wall that they blew up had a glyph on it? from your limited knowledge of glyph's you know that to preform certain actions you need all the glyph's to be present and powered up if one of them were missing it would probably hinder the use of ebb but not block it totally. as you realize this you reality fold...... then something unusual happens you appear beside Tali but not in fully formed. like a shadow of himself phases slowly in and out of existence until after a few moments zmek pop's back to normal with a loud popping noise standing there panting slowing fists clenched sweat dripping from his forehead. Tali looks on shocked as calmly he calls tank on the COMS channel and says "What did you find Stormer? Not a chicken leg I hope or we'll be here all day" without even missing a heartbeat, crystal stands there a look of shock on her face mouth wide open! and says "bu..how?...did...that's...not....i mean...you could have been...."


    [End of turn]
