Sentinels Shattered Storyline Saga part 4: Escape from The Block.

Devra awoke, and looked around her plastic prison.  She couldn’t do anything with plastic, and there didn’t seem to be any metal mechanisms, or even anything to reprogram anywhere nearby.  They had learned.

She smiled, it had taken them a long time to get her out of the desert, she couldn’t fight them with all those guns, but she could sabotage their vehicles, even in handcuffs.  In the end it was Dr. Washington that got her to cooperate, they put her in the vehicle with him, and in his state she couldn’t risk delaying them.

Even at the Prison they were slow in figuring out how to deal with her.  So many things to tinker with, so many tools to use.  She might have made it out if it wasn’t for the suppression fields, they just took you down, there didn’t seem to be a way to defeat them.  

While she was thinking the air vent started blowing a sweet smell into the room.

“Gas,” she said to herself, “what are you jerks doing with me now?”

Devra awoke, again.  This time the walls were metal, but not Iron.  She still couldn’t do anything with them.

She also wasn’t alone.

“Good morning little one.”  The incredibly large man said.

“How do you know it’s morning?” Devra asked, eying the stranger.

“I can feel it, even in here the air knows it is morning.”

“Aah,” she replied, OMG They stuck me with a nutjob, she thought to herself.

“Soo, why do you think they put us together?” she asked, trying to make some small talk to alleviate the incredible awkwardness.

“I believe we are part of a breeding experiment.”

“EEW!”

“Yes, Breeding programs are offensive to all forms of life.”

“Yeah, that’s what I meant.”  Unity tried to relax, but she was thoroughly repulsed and just sat on the far side of the cell, trying not to think about anything as they sat in silence.

It wasn’t long before the door opened and two female guards walked in.  “Come on you two, time to get moving.”  The one tried to put handcuffs on Devra, Devra just slid them back and latched them on the lady, then had her gun turn itself into a nice metal crane, still in the holster.

The handcuffs hit the floor with a clang.  The woman’s wrists were gone, and a fog seemed to come from her sleeves.  The other told her to be still.  But not with words, her mouth didn’t even move. . .

Episode 4

Number of Heroes:  3-5

Heroes:  Mr. Fixer, Unity, Visionary, Nightmist, Haka

Villain:  Omnitron

Environment:  The Block

Scenario Rules:  All Devices gain the keyword Agent, All Agents gain the keyword Device.  Omnitron's components are destroyed when Omnitron is dealt 10 damage in one round, instead of seven.

I honestly didn't think we'd get to use this one, but we do!  Yeah!

Mr. Fixer will be operating a bit differently than usual, you will see when the game starts, it isn't anything too wierd.

As always first come first served, and if you want to read the storyline so far, I updated that thread.

EDIT:  Forgot to put the 10 damage rule change in this post.

Heroes in order:

Visionary:  Platinum Warlock

Unity:  grim88

Nightmist:  grysqrl

Haka:  BlueHairedMeerkat

Fixer:  Theta Sigma

Chalk me up for Unity.   Opening Hand:  Scrap Metal; Inspired Repair; Cryo Bot; Bee Bot

Grim, if you'd like to continue playing Unity, I could take Visionary instead…

Edit–You saw nothing.  This space intentionally left blank.  Fnord.

I wouldn't mind recurring my role of Unity.

I'll take Nightmist

Opening hand: Mist-Fueled Recovery {3}, Mists of Time {4}, Oblivion {2}, Scouring Mists {4}

Sorry, I didn't see your post before I made mine. If you don't mind swapping, that'd be great, but if you'd rather play Unity, that's fine.

Go ahead with Unity--I'll take Visionary:

Opening Hand:  Prophetic Vision; Wrest the Mind; Suggestion; Mind Spike

Can I take Haka?

Opening hand: Mere, Taiaha, Vitality Surge, Rampage

No. Haka can take you easily.

I don't know, Meerkats are quick and shifty.

No one for fixer?  I can't give away the difference b/c it is plot related, but it should be fun.

If no one goes for Fixer, I would consider switching from Nightmist, particularly if it's important to the plot.

I'll take Fixer, if there's a spot still open, but if someone else wants a go, I have played in the last two games.

Unity:  Brainstorm, Volatile Parts, Hasty Augmentation, Construction Pylon

Looks like we have our 5, in order:

Visionary:  Platinum Warlock

Unity:  grim88

Nightmist:  grysqrl

Haka:  BlueHairedMeerkat

Fixer:  Theta Sigma

"You are clear up to yellow level, move quickly, they are trying to seal the exits."

"Up he Stairs," Scholar directed.  Slim swiped his ID and opened the door, John couldn't help but notice something wierd in the lines around Mr. Fixer, but he didn't have time to ponder it.

"Redirect, Yellow is locked, we've got Orange through section 450."

They got out of the stairwell and headed past offices and some laboratories, running through techs and watching for security.

"They are onto me, going to scramble them, keep your heads up."

"Who is that?" Unity asked the lady she now knew as Nightmist.  "That's Tachyon, she's hacking the security systems for us." Nightmist replied.

"So that's why the Supression systems are offline."  Unity was feeling rather useless, she hadn't had time to think of any usefull Golems, and she couldn't hack anything from here.  She looked across the group, the Wraith was there, and Tachyon somewhere, two of the five.  She couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Absolute Zero, his suit was in bad shape when they dug him out.  The Scholar had come. . . "Hey, why the heck did you bring that!" Devra pointed at the Rod of Anubis, hanging on Scholar's back, under his backpack, "Shouldn't that be someplace safe?"

The Scholar looked toward the girl, then it hit him.  He pulled out the staff, looked at it and at Mr. Fixer.  Then he held it out to him, "Here, I think you should take this."

Harry reached out and took the wooden rod, it was light and felt. . .

"You will restore balance."  He shook his head, that was bizarre.  "Your heart is light.  You have passed judgement.  You will restore balance."

Slim stumbled, Wraith grabbed his arm and helped him up, "You okay old timer?" she asked.

"Older than you know." the old man replied softly, and Maia could swear she saw a pale green tint in his eyes.

"This is where we part ways, good luck."  Wraith and the Scholar went off with some other guy, and the rest of them headed toward Orange 450.

. . .

"I'm sorry guys."

"You mean we have to go through it?"  Nightmist responded into the headset.

"No other way now, their protocols are catching up to me, I'll do what I can, but hurry."

"Right."  The one known as Visionary took off her security jacket, "If we are doing this, we are doing it right."

She pushed the button and the doors opened, and they all walked into the Operations Center of the Ministry of Global Security, home of the Super Robot known as Omnitron.  Mr. Fixer just grinned, and his fists became sheathed in a pale green energy.

Special Rule:  MR. FIXER, THE ARBITER OF BALANCE  Mr. Fixer starts the game with The Rod of Anubis in his play area.  For this game it is treated as a card from his deck.

In the OP, you say Omnitron's "Devices" are destroyed if he takes 10 damage.  Can we assume that was supposed to say "Components"?  Otherwise...well, I suppose he probably doesn't want to set off That Bomb in a prison anyway, but it'd be sort of inconvenient for him if you could kill all his Agents at once without bothering to damage them.

It should have said components, fixed, thank you.

Gah, Prophetic Vision.

Top three of the environment deck:  Time-Crazed Prisoner, F.I.L.T.E.R. Officer, Time-Crazed Prisoner

Let’s keep one of the Prisoners.

It is Fixer's turn.  Just wanted to bump this since it has been a day.

Sorry! Yesterday was kinda crazy. Does the Rod have the same subtypes as normal?

Yes, The Rod of Anubis remains a Treasure and a Relic.

"Wait," the Visionary called out, "Reverse those locks!" she said pointing to a key panel.

Unity touched the panel, "Okay, but why?" she asked, but her question was answered by a uniformed stiff pounding on the freshly locked door.

The Visionary waved and smiled at the helpless Agent, then they continued moving.  Devra did notice Visionary looking over her shoulder toward a door across the room that was open though. . .

The Block

Play a Card:  Time-Crazed Prisoner [4]

End of Turn:

Effects:

Start:  Deal the non-inmate target with the 2nd highest HP X Melee damage where X=the current number of cards in the environment trash.

(Actually the S-84 Automaton is at 1hp, since both Haka and Platform bot would do 2 damage, but this is favorable to the heroes anyway since it would come back out if you destroyed it anyway)

"Prisoners will return to their cells, escape is a violation of prison code 7-34t"

The giant robot seemed to be changing forms, and churning out more robots.  Haka and Fixer both took some nasty shots from the robot's Railgun, but they seemed alright.

"I don't like this thing, Robots should be cute, and that thing is Not Cute!" Unity shouted as she ducked behind a console.

You've got Nightmist at 27 on your summary - it should be 25.

Even had that right in my bookkeeping file, gah.

I hit Omnitron as well, shouldn't he have less health at the start of his turn? Also Fixer has DR 1

Faye spins around quickly, holdling her arm tight to her chest and then extending it as she stops. Her arm dissolves into a mist and stretches out ahead of her, snaking its way around the edge and then under a panel on Omnitron's side. She holds briefly and then retracts her arm, leaving a small puff of smoke drifting away from the charred casing. With a gentle motion, she brings her retreating hand to rest two inches in front of Unity's face and then flicks it toward a small nook between some crates, drawing her attention to a small pile of unloved metal scrap.

Additional effects:

Out of the Shadow appears a caped wonder, touching Nightmist right when she would suffer from the use of her powers.  With a wry smile on it's emmotionless face it saves her even from harming herself, before swooping dramatically away into shadow.

I'm pretty sure Stealth bot will eat that 1 damage for you, Unity can decide if she takes more of it.

I actually really like guessing at how the F5 bots act, because they are characterizations of people that she doesn't fully know.  I tend to think they behave like actors in a melodrama, or at least Stealth Bot acts that way.

Hah! That's excellent. I'll let Unity decide before I edit anything.

"AU AU AUE A!"

HP: 26

Hand: Mere, Rampage, Haka of Restoration, Ground Pound, Enduring Intercession

In play:  Taiaha

Trash: Vitality Surge

Additional effects:  

Certainly anytime we take one damage Stealth Bot should eat that because it'll just go away. Anytime anyone takes 2 damage, feel free to redirect it to Stealth Bot as well. I'd like to avoid directing greater damage to her at this point though, so she stays around longer.

Thanks for the card draws. I won't be able to do that till later though.

Thanks. Edited to redirect the 1 and one of the 2s to Stealth Bot and I'll take the other 2.

Unity draws Construction Pylon and Champion Bot out of the mists. I'm pretty sure I know what my next turn will be....

The current Agent+Device standing:

Damage dealt +1

Damage taken -2

what we could do is send that four damage to Stealth Bot (She'll reduce to 3) and have one hit point. Then, on my turn i could use scrap metal and reclaim her, playing her again next turn, during my Start Turn phase, and then destroy scap metal. The downside to that is i won't be playing my  construction pylon/Turret Bot/Champion Bot this turn then.

Stealth Bot ate 2 from Unity, 1 and 2 from Nightmist, so Stealth is at 3 hp right now.

Right. I forgot about that last hit. ah well. Twas a good plan in theory.

I'd suggest that Haka or Nightmist take the damage, since they both have healing options in hand. Maybe Haka since he has more HP?

It goes to the hero with highest HP, so Nightmist is not an option.

Haka/Unity/Visionary are the options. I don't know off hand if Visionary has healing or not but I know Haka does and Unity doesn't, therefore I would suggest Haka take it, but i'm not opposed to Unity taking it either.

Haka will take it.

A psionic clone tears herself free of Visionary's body...

Unity

Unity mentally rips apart the metal doors the Warden attempted to seal and reforms them to suit her purposes. She then yells out, "Prisoner Bots!, tonight there's going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town. And that somewhere is here!" Unity begins singing to herself as she commands her bots to surge forward.

Faye catches herself tapping her toe along to Unity's singing and stops abruptly, shaking her head. A subtle gesticulation ends with a pointed finger that she sweeps across the room, causing little bursts of green fire and smoke to pepper the air around Omnitron's drones.

Additional effects:  Damage dealt by Mr Fixer is +1, Damage dealt to Mr Fixer is -1, After Mr Fixer damages a target, all damage dealt to that target is irreducible until the start of Mr Fixer's next turn. (Currently Omnitron)

If Mr. Fixer's damage is at +1 and Irreducible, shouldn't Mr. Fixer be doing more damage?

He switched to riveting crane, so after that damage Omnitron is dealt irreducible damage.

Shouldn't it be 2, though?

Rod of Anubis (2) + Pipe Wrench (1) - Omnitron's DR (1) = 2

The warden gives him one more DR.

"Somebody stop that Girl, and engage Lock Down protocol B."  All doors were suddenly blocked by lasers, and the lights started flashing red.

"Now that isn't playing nice."  Devra said to herself.

The Robot aimed its ray right at Devra.

"Oh Shit!" she yelled and ducked.  When she looked up again she saw that she was unharmed, but a few scraps of metal were all that remained of Stealth Bot.  "Thank you my friend." she said quietly, before rising to face Omnitron again.  "Oh you're going down So hard."

The current Agent+Device standing:

Damage dealt +3 (Omni, Hoeffle, Lock Down)

Damage taken -1

Congrats Mr. Fixer on a very prescient switch to crane.

I would love to save Stealth Bot but I think I'd like to take 9 damage even less. Yikes. That +3 really hurts.

I can take the other 6

"I am entirely sick of being shot at..."

(I originally thought to go with Psychic Maelstrom as I think we can get Omnitron's component's to smash via damage this round-- 4 from Turret Bot and 4 from Platform Bot alone gets us close.  Then, I looked saw Haka and Nightmist's abilities...I'm going to get prepped for keeping us safe.

Additional effects:  Redirect any damage dealt to Visionary to the Decoy Projection.  Unity may draw 2, discard 1.

Are Agents considered Villian Targets in this scenerio?

Nope, they are still environment cards and targets.

I kinda feel like Unity should be able to rip chunks off of Omnitron to build bots.

Unity

Unity glares at Omnitron's visual sensor. "You. Should. Not. Have. Done. That." She slowly raises her arms into the air, and then quickly lowers them. "ALL TOGETHER!"

Additional effects:

Platform Bot - Reduce Damage dealt to this card by 1.

Champion Bot - Increase Damage dealt by Mechanical Golems and Unity by 1

Only way that turn could have been more perfect is if i had an equipment card out to destroy for a second Platform Bot to play with the Warden. I fear he feels left out.

With Fixer using Crane Omni had no reduction, so all of those hit Omni for full damage.  Everything else has -1.

However it seems you used his HP before healing, so it works out to the same health for Omni at the end of your turn (79)

all components are now destroyed.

Agreed. Damage him and then play a bot. Same with any villian that has mechanical targets.

Sorry about that. I always end up scrolling up and down a lot when I do my turn. I guess I miss things occasionally. The funny thing is I pointed out Mr. Fixers irreducable damage earlier this morning, though at that time I thought it just applied to him.

I updated my turn to avoid any confusion.

"Hit the machine-beast hard. I'll try to draw his fire away."

Additional effects:  

Use a power:  Taiaha; net 5 damage to Omnitron [74] and 1 to Warden Hoeffle [9].

I think the Punish the Weak bonus should be flipped, right? -1 against Omnitron and +1 against Hoeffle.

Actually it should be 5 on Omni, 2 on Hoeffle.

If someone could get rid of the Warden, I could pull out Jack Handle and put Crane's ability on everything, but I can't get through the DR right now. I've hit Omnitron again this turn though, since that seems the most useful.

Things were going pretty well, for the heroes, they put the hurt on Omnitron and his goons, things were going their way.

. . . "tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak". . .

"Is that singing?" Nightmist asked, her expression worried.

The Laser grids went down.  Sirens started wailing.

The Warden Panicked and started shouting orders.

. . . "so don't you be around". . . it was getting louder.

"That's not a jailbreak," Haka said lowly, "That's a riot."

"Look out!" Visionary yelled as her decoy took a volley of darts, even unhit she felt a strange draining of her mental faculties.

The others were hit, and they looked dazed.

They quickly recoverd, but now that Robot's armor was glowing a weird mix of colors.

"Come on team, keep your heads up!"

I wasn't sure who to attack. I went for the target I could kill. If other

players want me to update to someone else,let me know. Next round i'll be able

to whip out three bots which'll be nice. Bee Bot could destroy Char after my

next round, one of the inmates will kill the Wardon.. I would focus on the

others.)

Forgive my kibbitzing in partial ignorance, is there some reason why this wouldn't be +2 damage to each, as normal for Bloody Knuckles?  I haven't been following the entire scenario, but I can't think of a reason why an increase to damage would be reduced.

Nightmist lets out a heavy breath, removes her necklace, and holds it out to Unity. "I can't believe I'm doing this. Just...take it if you need it."

Warden Hoeffle was tough, and quick.  Two Rogues tried to jump him, he gunned one down, but the other got him from behind with some kind of glowing shiv.  Then through the doorway walked a large man with green tendrils surrounding his arms and hands.

"Welcome to hell kids."  He said as he brought his hands together.  The room exploded in green flames.

Suddenly a bright pink force field segmented the room.  Warden Hoeffle had managed to trigger the emergency containment protcol, he smiled at the rogue standing above him, "You punks will never make it out of here alive."

(Nightmist, I may use your Necklace next turn, if it's still available, but i'm not sure a Bee Bot is worth it at this point.)

Grim, you have Turret Bot listed as Champion Bot in your end of turn summary. Might want to edit…

Thanks; fixed.

All damage is -2, so Turret and Platform are dealing 3-2 damage.

Crap, I thought damage to Omnitron was irreducable due to Mr. Fixer, but now I see that was his beginning of turn information and not part of his actual turn. I'll attack one of the componants instead then.

Nightmist holds the necklace steady but turns her attention towards Omnitron. Her other arm levels out and extends, shedding whisps of mists as the primary cloud pierces through a panel. "That ought to buy us a little time."

"Someone get that Maniac Contained!" Nightmist yelled, while she focused her mist on containing Omnitron.

"Don't worry, I got him." Unity said as a small golemn slipped through the ventilation system and back down near the Powerful Inmate.

"You can't contain me, I'll kill all of you!" the madman raved.  But as he brough his hands together to release another wave of Toxic fire, he instead slumped over.  A tiny pop and puff of smoke off his shoulder was the only visible sign of what had happened.

Champion Bot: +1 damage done by Bots and Unity

On villain turn, Nightmist discards Elder Ring {1} and Mistform {2} to redirect the drone's 3 melee damage (reduced by 1) at Omnitron: Omnitron [28] is immune to melee damage.

Unity, I think your bot list is mixed up. During your power phase, it says that you're playing a Champion Bot and a Raptor Bot, except you don't have a raptor bot to play. I assume you are actually playing a Platform Bot? Also, be careful to have your bots deal damage in the order they were played. Omnitron has Adaptive Plating Subroutine out, so if two Platform Bots fire in a row, the second one won't do anything.

I'm going to assume that Platform Bot 2 fires after Raptor Bot, so Omnitron ends up with 13 HP and is immune to energy damage. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

"It's time for us to be leaving. If they close the exits, we'll just have to make our own."

There is no prisoner. There's an assault drone for you to squish, though.

Unity's bots in order are:  Turret, Platform, Raptor, Champion, Platform, so your calculation is right.

Here is mr. Fixer's turn, for the sake of ending an almost over game.

Mr. Fixer plays Overdrive

Mr. Fixer uses Rod of Anubis (4-1=3) damage [5]

Mr. Fixer uses Strike (3-1=2) damage [3]

Mr. Fixer uses Strike (3-1=2) Damage [1]

Prison Riot brings out

Time Crazed Prisoner, Char, Imprisoned Rogue, Imprisoned Rogue.  No one does anything.

Omnitron:

Flips to +1 to damage side.

Plays Adaptive, pulls S-84 [5] no damage done.

So Omnitron has 1 hp, S-84 has 5.  Adaptive back in play.  Happy Hunting.

And here I was, ready to play my turn. But it's already been done.

Visionary destroys the Adaptive Plating on her turn; Unity can polish off the field.

I'm sorry man, I didn't expect you to be around.

So you guys are finally done?  Perhaps I can get in on round 5?

uhm... Turret Bot for the win?

Nevermind what I had here before. I was confused for a minute.
 

“All Prison-Thursday Visitation will~Alert! Alert!~Pancakes opening~Destruction Irrelevant.”

The Giant Robot Omnitron shuddered and collapsed.

“Tachyon, are you there, Omnitron is down, get us out of here.”  Nightmist yelled into her mic as she started towards the exit.

“Take the Emergency stairwell D, should be right by you, take it to the top, I’ll seal the steps behind you.”

“What about the guards?” asked Unity, looking back at the crowd of prisoners, “and what about them?

“We cannot solve this mess, we can only contain it and hope they find balance.”  Slim looked at her, but he didn’t look like the man she knew these past few years, there was more than just quiet strength in those eyes, there was power, and ambition.

. . .

Unity didn’t know what to think.  Amanda was dead, and Slim was, well different.  She had killed people, and had destroyed the Evil Robot that they had feared for so long.  She thought about her bots, and about the Warden and guards at the prison.  Those people were part robot, did they feel doubt and sorrow, or did they know what they needed to do, and do it without pain?

She wanted to cry, she wanted Slim to tell her it would be okay, like he did when she was little and Amanda was alive.

. . .

The bus was full of arguing.  Legacy and Ra were in the back, she looked at Legacy, the one everyone was counting on, he couldn’t even sit up, he just grimaced in pain.  Tachyon said Omnitron had experimented on him, and he might not recover.  Ra was in some kind of restrictive cast, his back and legs were broken.  Apparently her rescue was a distraction so they could get those two out.  She was a decoy, expendable.  That didn’t sit good either.

She was sick of Time Travel, like it was going to magically solve everything, go back, fix things and *poof* her world disappears, all these people gone, her life erased.  They think we're all expendable, she thought to herself.  Now they were arguing over whether or not they should help the people of the city, Voss was coming, and he was angry.  He swore the city would suffer for aiding the heroes, and she had seen what he could do to cities that defied him.

Megalopolis was already locked down, they had gotten through though, the Psychic lady made sure of that. But the rest

“We can’t just leave them to die!” someone shouted

“But we can save them, stop all of this, stop Voss from ever taking the Earth, Stop Blade, Stop it all!”

“But what if it fails, then what have we done, look at what we are responsible for!”

“This world is dead, we can’t save it by dying here with it!”

Unity put her head down and listened to the fight, the voices blurring into just noise.

“You are troubled young one, perhaps we could talk?

Unity looked up, and her face fell.

“I left them there, I left her there. . . just like you left me.”

The choice for our players for this game:

1.  Stand up to Voss, fight for the people of this world that are suffering for what you have done.

2.  Abandon them, to focus on the big picture

Unity would want to go after Voss.

Voss!

Big picture–stop Blade, save the world.

Former players may chime in (like cmschex above) they won't count towards the current decision, but they will influence how the rest of the game goes down.

As much as I'd like to go after Voss, there are bigger things at stake here. Stop Blade.

How about this. Wait until Voss brought his fleet close to Earth, then let Blade use his maxhine to bring the moon closer and destroy the fleet from behind. Then kill Blade.

Was this game entered into the Around the World weekend event? Last I looked we were only two points away from unlocking the last reward.

Not sure, but phantaskippy already got the last 2 points anyways.

Voss is an ant. We need to focus on the big picture.

Even moving the moon a little would cause epic tides that would wash every coastal city into the sea.  Sorry Batman, you don't get a Third Option.

I know. That was the basis for my campaign.

Big Picture!

I'm going to buck the trend and vote for Voss! Unity was pretty convincing.

Our best split yet.

We have three votes from current players for going to the portal, 1 current and two former for voss.

We move on to hunt the portal, but not without heavy hearts and some tough decisions.

Devra woke up, still on the bus.

“Where are we?” she asked groggily.

“Rook City.”

Devra’s head cleared.  “What?”

“We have a plane stashed there, we can get to our destination that way.”  The Scholar explained.

“What about Megalopolis, what about all those people?” she demanded.

Tachyon’s voice was quiet and serious, almost cold, “We can’t save them.  We can’t fight Voss.”

Devra burned with anger.  She looked at the television n the bus, it showed Megalopolis being destroyed, Voss’s ships bombarding the city, smashing buildings to the ground.  The graphic read Insurrection put down, Enemies of the people punished.

“We have to go back, we have to help them!” she screamed, her voice cracking.

Slim grabbed her by the shoulders.  “It’s too late for that Devra.”

“Let go of me, I don’t even know you anymore!” her anger overflowed, “Who are you people, you’re supposed to be heroes, we’ve waited for you, for so long.”  She pointed at the TV, “They waited for you, and now they are dying and you are running away.  You don’t care about us, you used us, you left Amanda to die, you left me to get captured, you did something to Harry and used us as decoy’s to get your precious Hero back,” she pointed at Legacy, unconscious in the back.  “And now they are dying, for him!  For a #(%&# Vegetable!”

The people around her looked defeated, Haka had tears running down his face.

The one they called the Wraith walked to her and put her hands on Devra’s shoulders.

She tried to shrug her hands off, tried to stay mad, but she couldn’t.

“I’m sorry Devra, we failed.”  Maia said.  “But there’s still hope.”

Next thread coming up shortly.
