Eru. Iconic and grand as this city was, all that remains is unsalvageable technology and old ruins. For the most part, the skeletons littering the street have been untouched, and many show no signs of damage. To this day, nobody knows what killed the people of Eru. The Tower at the center has incurred the most damage. A direct slash cleaved it down, and only the bottom half remains in an observable state. The rest is heavy debris.

Rohan Azuron Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 "Just what in the hell happened... How much did I forget... How much time has passed..." was all that Rohan's mind could think of what he was seeing. Skeletons littered the streets, while buildings were barely standing, even the Shield Tower, the beacon of hope that protected the city, was ruined. After a while of looking around he decided to explore a specific place, a place that would hopefully either have something that can tell him what happened, or just plain remembering due to the amount of time he spent there, or rather, Edward did. It took him a while to get to the Academy Residences, which were actually in a decent state, with that meaning it won't collapse the moment you step in. Walking through the so painfully familiar halls and rooms was, for sure, not a pleasant experience. Edward was too far off the deep end to actually feel... except for her. The very thought of her being here when this happened would tear him down like he was paper. Lucky him, he's dead, and now it weighs on Rohan, which was still trying to come to terms with the fact he can actually feel how the others before him felt at some point... "Well, at least, I won't be consumed by their thoughts... Hopefully." "434... 435... 436......." Room 437... Edward conveyed some fear into Rohan's heart, fear of finding something horrible. But despite all that fear, Rohan's determination wouldn't waver just like that. Albeit a tad bit slow, Rohan opened the door. |

About three inches of dust and the corpses of long dead spiders and insects are pushed aside, the dust kicked up made the air almost unbreathable. This room has not been touched since the fall. Upon opening, panic may have set in for a moment, as behind the door was a large, metal shadow spawn. Rather, the long dead shell of one. A metallurgic wraith, that seemed to have been in combat. Behind it was a large hole in the wall, which opened up to the bleak landscape around you. Fortunately, the large metal body is the only corpse in the room. Underneath a chunk of wall, was a piece of paper preserved from wear. A note. To Edward from a Suzanne. Ed, This place has gone south. I don’t know where you are, but if you find this, GET AWAY FROM ERU. A Dread Lord is running the city now, and I don’t know how long before the citizens try to rebel. They don’t understand. They can’t beat that... I am about to leave the city and head to the Desert. The darkness hates that place, so I should be safe there. Love, Suzy On the back P.S. I hid the cup in the mattress. Looking around, another note was stuck to the dead spawn. Ed, I came back to see if you had found the note, but everything is gone. The whole city... it’s a massacre. No blood. Just rotting corpses. Like they all just dropped dead suddenly. They look like they have been dead for weeks now. I... I don’t want to assume you are... if you find this note, then there is a little village in the desert. They took me in and I live with this woman named Maria, I really want you to meet her, she is awesome. There are no spawn here. I marked its spot on the map in room 719. I miss you. Love, Suzy On the back P.S. The cup is still there. |

Rohan Azuron Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 As he was opening the door, or didn't to be exact, a huge amount of dust kicked up. Rohan sidestepped from the door as he pushed the door all the way. Indeed, an unbelievable amount of dust was ejected from the room. Rohan waited for the dust settled down before attempting to enter again. At first he was really surprised to see a spawn, instinctively, Rohan stepped back while aiming to the thing with one hand, preparing to defend himself. This didn't take long though, as he got memories from these things. Rohan stepped in, and slowly inspected the room. It was a mess, lots of broken furniture, a damaged ceiling, and most notably, a big gap on the wall. While checking the floor, he found a surprisingly well- kept piece of paper under a piece of the wall. Reading it was kind of tough for Rohan, as once again, he could feel Edward's answer to that note. It hurt, it hurt a lot. Rohan settled down by taking a few breaths before going to check the mattress to see if it was still there. Seeing the cup there, Rohan slowly picked it with his hands. The pain was too much, as tears started to run down his cheeks. Rohan was deeply moved by the feelings Edward, out of all people, had for this woman. Rohan suddenly realized that he was holding the cup to his face. He took a few moments to regain composure, before wiping the remaining tears from his face and tied the cup to one of the rags he called clothing. Once he managed to settle down, Rohan finished to check the room, very attentively. The very last thing he decided to check was the corpse in the room... And it held yet another note, a little more damaged, but still understandable. Rohan finished reading the note, and even before feeling more sadness from Edward, he quickly ran to the room the note mentioned, not caring much for subtlety this time around, Rohan opened the door room really aggressively. |

The cup was a golden-silver alloy with sculpted curves. A cup that would never empty unless it was dumped out. Should probably be washed before use however. It is dusty, but the metal is in flawless condition somehow. As he entered room 719, he would note the amount of dust was less, because of three holes in the wal that cause a major draft to blow through here. Metal weaves curtains billow around, and faded fabrics from the numerous skeletons generate a small sound, a much more notable sound is coming from the bathroom. There are a lot of ancient bloodstains in this room, and among the bodies is a hollow, broken set of dark armor. A spear impales one of the skeletons to a wall. A large red crystal sits on the ground pulsating with a red light. There was a faded map on the wall, next to it was a note carved into the wall. “Found the room like this, guess they were trying to hold out in here, didn’t really work out it looks like. -S” A red dot is marked on the map close to the deserts border. The map also contains a detailed map of early Eru on the corner. This was of course the center of the massive city. |

Rohan Azuron Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Luckily for Rohan, this room was more busted open than Edward and Suzanne's, so there was no cloud of dust waiting for him. Quite the scene greeted him once he actually looked in. He slowly walked around the room looking for anything of relevance, the lack of dust certainly helped. His first important find was a large red crystal, "Is this a...?" For now, he put it into one of his frontal pockets to analyze it better later. Then, a spear stuck to a skeleton and broken pieces of armor. The armor was in an unusable state, and he was not an armor guy anyway. The spear, on the other hand... Rohan decided to inspect it further, as he was lacking in the weapon department anyway. He tried to pull it off the wall and take a close look at it if possible. By far, the most important find, was the map and the note on the wall. Rohan put the spear away, if he managed to pull it off the wall that is, and stared at the map for minutes on end, in order to burn into his mind the location, which luckily, didn't seem that hard to reach "Just another walk to the list...". Once he felt satisfied with how well he pictured it in his mind, he would turn his attention to something that he was kind of ignoring since he entered: the bathroom. He would open the door to said bathroom and jumped back a little, to have some chance to move if there was indeed something there that would attack him. If there was nothing worth noting inside, Rohan would just pick up the spear, if he could, and leave. Otherwise, he would stay and inspect/attack the finding he made. |

As Rohan made his attempt to pull the spear out of the wall, it’s head snapped off at a few cracks in it. It’s a big black metal stick now. The spearhead is still stuck in the wall. As he finished looking at the map, he then turned his attention to the odd sounds emanating from the bathroom. When he opened the door, he saw something unexpected. A young child, presumably a boy, dressed in the old Academy uniform for standard students. He was shaking. The child lifted up his head to look at you. His eyes appear to have been freshly gouged out, and he was bleeding profusely from the sockets. Bloodstains on his arm. However, you couldn’t look for login as a surge of pain hit your mind quickly, forcing you to reflexively blink. As you open your eyes again, all that you could see there was yet another skeleton, this time of a child. A freshly knocked over vase was shattered next to the body. |

The wall itself was intact. Well, if intact is simply defined as still structurally sound enough to stand on or shelter in. Many sections were broken, and entire chunks of the wall missing. THough the architecture behind it was a marvel. Solid titanium supports kept the wall up. The wall itself was some kind of metallic concrete. A mold-able metal mixture not entirely unlike an alloy, yet still completely different. The nearest entrance was through one of said holes in the wall. Even after the destruction, the wall still shows no sign of natural weathering or deterioration. Every single bit of damage here, old or new, was obviously caused through some kinda conflict. He was currently in the residential district, ruined metal houses and broken streets paint a very clear picture of the scenes leading to this destruction. Off in the distance you could spot a few bonewalkers. They werent moving, but unanimated corpses dont just stand up like that. One even took a step forward. Not towards you, but rather in a random direction. You could also hear crying somewhere nearby. A grown man by the sound of it. The Geomarker that the mission was centered on lead to the very center of the city. And the 3d Map data had it beneath the ruins of the tower in the center. The new map data was highlighted in green, and with it you could lilely locate the way into the new zone. But this would require you get to the central towers ruin n the first place. |

Adian would take a few moments to study his map getting the general idea of where the streets had been laid out and generally where they might have once lead even if they don't now. he would see the first sign of hostile activity in the moving bone walkers and be confused as to their nature he thought, dead humans but no longer dead, humans cannot be alive in that state, hmm must be the un-dead. killing them would be inefficient and draw attention. incorrect course of action he would go on to examine more of his surrounding hearing the cries, his only response to them was mild curiosity as to their origin but mostly indifference and suspicion. the though of examining them cross his mind however the thoughts it could be a tap out weigh them. if it makes so much noise it will no doubt be under attack soon not good for them but also dangerous to approach incorrect course of action. if it makes noise and is not under attack it must be an un-dead or hostile to approach is dangerous, incorrect course of action. if it is not un-dead and not hostile however may or may not be under attack it will have strength that could be of assistance course of action not worth risk. his mind would go through a few most likely scenarios until he decided on the proper course, since the link did not convey sound the existence of the crying would not be known to any, so ignoring it would lead to greatest benefit at this time. so after examine his map one final time he would plan a rout that was moderately lengthy towards his goal but would attempt to avoid any known wide overly open spaces. that was the best he could do having all enemy movements and locations unknown his only choice was to move quietly without drawing attention and staying away from areas he could easily be spotted from a distance. he hoped this would mean he could encounter minimal resistance but no doubt he would accidentally stumble across and unknown unscene or unplanned for danger. |

By incredible fortune, Skeletons, the only real source of danger here, were not smart. And through even a slight modicum of stealth they remained fully unaware of his presence. Whilst something did seem to take an interest in you, an unseen force, it seemed to lose interest and go away. Leaving you to contend with one single hurdle. A Bone Giant was roaming the Academy Grounds, the Center of Eru. And as a stroke of unluck, your route took you directly into its locale. You most likely couldnt fight that thing. Or the small army of skeletons in the courtyard. But there was no way you were gonna make it through this wide open space without being seen by something. Your objective was in the middle of this swarm. Likely formed by skeletons drawn to the thunderous footsteps of the giant. |

So Adian began his next planning phase starting up the map edit tools he plotted all manner of approaches all with unacceptable risk. Direct approach unacceptable at in this state, alternate pathway not possible. Available options retreat , extent search area, diversion. time factor not extreme limitation however every moment increases risk unacceptably alternate path not a guarantee. Diversion accepted possible means of execution UNKNOWN. he would go over the data he had of the area looking for the best possible means of distraction. Attraction method sound. Theorizing a loud and or extended noise could draw the attention Adian would look for something that could cause a loud noise something he could detonate to topple a building. a set of speakers or audio equipment they would no doubt have for mass alerts. Perhaps if he was lucky he could find some deactivated defense equipment and try to bring it online. Once the course of action was decided Adian would spent a considerable amount of time in the general area looking for any such devices that could help him create a loud distracting sound. If he were to find anything of that nature he attempted to get it back into even partial function and or set a time delay to allow him to give enough time to circle around the oncoming enemies. allowing him to gain access to the academy grounds. |

Water damage and three hundred years of rusting has left any technology in the city completely irreparable. This second stroke of misfortune was slightly allievated as he found no small amount of scrap metal. He would also note that the same reasons that the tech outside is completely unusable, has also rendered the structural integrity of these buildings weak. very weak. Many of them only have a couple of critical supports left. And even then, rust and damage has left them weak and brittle. Without the use of salvageable technology out here, he would have to resort to more, makeshift or primitive solutions. After all, how hard could it be to make a large noise?

[b] defense systems inoperable, sound systems beyond repair. recalculating. Results ONE the look on Adians face actually show a measure of displeasure as the odds of success flowed through his mind but as it was the only option presented it just had to be done as safely and quietly as possible. he took in a good understanding of the area planning multiple exit routs for WHEN not if this went sour. so he gathered and position large amounts of scrap metal around the area hanging it on and piling around buildings like wind chimes and caltrops respectively. to make a form of alert system and difficult terrain for anyone but him as he would know where it was all placed. one the first stages were laid he prepared phase two. gathering a large pile of rocks for use later pocketing and storing them. his plan was rather simple in theory the execution of which would need to be properly timed and handled VERY carefully. his plan went as such, use the scrap metal piled atop a building tossing it off to cause an initial wave of noise to draw in the academy hoard. once the first responders were lured in the chimes and caltrops would cause an even larger less concentrated amount of noise using the enemies numbers against them to lure even more in. effectively making the enemy chase their own tails. with all luck this would be enough for Adian to use a planed escape rout to circle around the enemy and be done with them. however phase three would be executed IF and only IF the opportunity presented its self with a more than marginal amount of success. if luck happened to be on his side for once so far and the enemies formed up in such a way it would prove effective and viable. Adian would attempt to use the rocks he had gathered to throw it attempting to lure a Dumb, Large and or clumsily enough enemy into the weakened supports of a building to cause it and the surrounding buildings to topple on them. or he woudl attempt to topple the building himself however he could to cause the same effect. with any luck a building falling on the un-dead would be enough to make them Re-dead or it would slow them long enough for Adian to dispatch a few or just leave them trapped and squirming. if during his escape Adian happened to be face to face with any enemy entering the pathway he was exiting on he would attempt to fight them only as a last resort thinking they would be of low intelligence he would try to evade by any means available. (yea no shit tell me something i don't know oh well time for worse version of place B so plan B-. which i really did not have to do something this lengthy or risky but shit i don't really have any other choices here.) |

The success to this trap was due to their completely predictable nature. The Bone Giant and Skeletons were lured into the area, and they continued making sound. However, this proved to be a mistake. As the Bone giant was surrounded by constant sounds, it became confused. It delivered three consecutive punches to the ground. The shock-wave and bone shards that scattered was enough to completely dismantle the caltrops and chimes. And a building even fell over. But by this point, Adian had achieved a good distance. And the Giant didnt seem to occupied on going back to the Academy. It was just roaming now. Back to the usual. Trying to avoid buildings. Most of the skeletons were destroyed by the Giant. But after so much sound, more were on their way for certain. |

However he was more than a safe distance away hearing only the devastation he regretted the fact the situation could not be turned more into his advantage and he would have no opportunity to examine or loot the area. though hopefully a greater price was awaiting him within the academy grounds its walks and systems no doubt made to withstand harsh conditions to still be intact after all this time. Once on the grounds he would try to get his bearings on the basic layout before starting a thorough search keeping his cautious pace as he attempted to determine what had first drawn the attention of the large gathering in the first place. Though the real prize Adian was looking for beyond gaining basic entrance into the main buildings was searching for any computer system still operating, the chance to recover even a fraction of the lost data would be a great gain. so he would attempt to extract data with the data voids if the chances of success were high enough to warrant it. though even more so then recovering tech or gaining information Adain felt a connection to this place like it was strangely familiar, wondering though the grounds and down halls it was like walking through a thick fog of memories recalling vague details about the lay out. he would frequently check his map to ensure he didn't miss anything that seemed important mapping the area quite thoroughly.

Within the three stories of the central tower were a plethora of old books, maps, and machinery. Sadly, the machinery seems to have been long picked apart centuries ago. The entrance into lab was clearly defined on your map. However, a significant pile of metal scrap was blocking the way. Or so it seemed. If you were lucky, and apparently you were, this metal scrap, mostly rusted gurders and large plate metal for the buildings walls , had gaps big enough to get through. After navigating through a small forest of tightly packed rubble, you would find a rusted shut doorway. The maps suggested that a stairway down was on the other side. |

He found that there was not going to be a quiet way to open this door. And so with a loud bang and a few sparks, and a vast amount of determination, he was able to pry open the door. And down was an old, dry, dusty staircase. This was the first light it had seen in centuries. Once inside, he would find that the lab was actually kind of massive. He would find that the vast amount of damage here was minor rusting. Due to its isolation, this place was completely untouched. There were a lot of computers here, and many rooms. You have reached the lobby. A desk was here, and behind it looked like some kind of circuit breaker. Behind broken glass you could see a few machines of unknown purpose. And more was undoubtably down the hallways. |

Abi's size certainly didnt help her in stealth. Fortunately, the requirements for avoiding a skeleton or a thousand were relatively simple given how intelligent they arent. Thankfully the Bone Giant was drawing most attention towards it, and she managed to make it to the central towers without incident. Now, she knew the general area of where she was going. But now she had to search the area. She had not visited the head Archivist to recieve the map data, and was going in completely blind. Within the ruins of the Academy, she honestly didnt have any clues as to where the labs would be. Meanwhile, on Adians end, he switched the power on, which appeared to open a metaphorical pandoras box. Loud blaring sirens went off as soon as power came on. "Warning!

Growth danger considerable avoidance not technology priority 0 with his priorities decided Adain would find the nearest indication of where these locations were take that information adding it to his map. he woudl retrieve the induction furnace and the centrifuge unaware of their value or priority but he had the space to take the chance. he woudl slap data voids on the work stations taht he could tell were in the best of shape. IF the data voids worked instantly he would retrieve them all and move on. IF they did not he would estimate the recovery time and ensure he returned to picked them up once they were finished as they were his top priority. He would then use the area knowledge he recovered to make a priority to rush towards the server room stopping only at other areas or priority if they were not far out of his way. he would also attempt to locate and other means of exit from the labs as no doubt the entrance he used could not be used again later. |

On the way there i probably can do the first deep scans He approached the Wall of the old city slowly and watched the near vicinity for movement. If he saw something, he would try to dodge and take a little detour while staying low to the ground. The Danger report said something about occasional bandits taking up residence. If thats the case the main entrances to the city are probably under surveillance. When he was near enough to the Wall to inspect it, his gaze would wander in both directions to search for other, smaller entrances to the city. |

Finding a follow-able set of tracks proved to be difficult. But one caught your eye. By sheer luck you noticed a set of tracks, fresh tracks, that led through a pile of hardly maneuverable metal rubble. Being as large as you were, getting through sucha tight fit would be quite a challenge, and could lead to a couple of wounds. Adian would find that the Data Voids did take justa moment. Scanning the device then siphoning its electrons out into a usable format. After a few seconds, the circuits were fried. The datavoid emitted a LED that indicated its completion. Taking the device, he would leave for the server room. Upon finding the room, only a few jogs down the hallway, The room was not in good condition. Vines were in the walls. This kinda thing was likely the source of the structural damages. With the map data, he would find that the Lab went down and down and down. Thre were five exits. But the map data doesnt tell you whether or not they are still viable. The wall was extremely damaged from ancient conflict. There were MANY ways inside. A little hole in the wall was easy to crawl into with your body type. Once inside, it was obvious that this place was never truly restored. No one ever cam to lay the bodies to rest. These whole ruins werwe forsaken by the rest of the world.. This is obvious byt the amount of lifeless skeletons that seem to have been where they are for centuries. |

Abi Glad for her skills as a hunter. She looks at the task before her. "Crap. I could do a quick cheek around or try to move some of it." She wonders how long she has. She nods and Tries to move some of it just to make it a bit easier for her. Due to her large buld being a bit stronger and heather then avrage sould be to her advantage or so she hoped. However, if it looks as if it would cause it to fall and make it so she could not get in she would stop. If the undead returned beforehand she would test her luck trying to get in through a pile of hardly maneuverable metal rubble. |

Manual reconstruction, Needed success likely, process lengthy. the footage the index foundation was collecting on him make show a slight shake to his head at this time just before he began the collection of the first Data void he was in a Fairly depressed mod hoping he could recovery some useful hard ware to make this mission more of a success. Next he prepared himself for venturing further into the complex with only two remaining goals. GOAL ONE, Begin hardware recovery in the two remaining labs, weapon testing and project 198-X. GOAL TWO, verify the integrity or lack there of for the 5 known exits. inclining the entrance he used to enter the labs. he had a change for 6 possible exits this was good if a collapse began the odds were good he could find a way out but he had to be sure if he would rush to en exit he would rush towards a WORKING exit. So Adain would leave the server room rushing towards the closest of the two labs either weapon testing or project 198-X. verifying the state of any exit he passed fairly closely on the way in keeping his weapon at the ready if he knew he would be passing though the containment breath in lab G, or the growth. although with the chaos going on Adain wasn't trying total stealth he wasn't moving at an all out sprint this operation was a marathon and he was treating it as such, he would move at a fair pace where his movement wouldn't be easily detectable unless one was explicitly trying to listen for moment or track him. he would keep his gaze moving checking his corners at every corridor he pass trying to get a grip on what he could compared to the map data he found, needing to know what routs were cut off or destroyed and how to plan alternate paths. |

After he has taken a second look at the map on his MHPT he knew the general direction to the library. On his way there he tried to listen and watch out for possible hazards. With his Torso he went down as much as possible while moving forward. If possible he tried to avoid narrow pathways and buildings and used preferably debris and other kinds of cover to hide behind. If he managed to come near the academy library, he first searched for a vantage point to observe the library for a few minutes to look if he sees any kind of movement and noise he wouldnt expect. |

Witha remarkable degree of success, Abi managed to gently shift the metal pieces to allow her gigantic self through it. Mostly by crawling, but it was more than nothing. Getting in, she found that the wreckage lead to a door, already pried open enough for a smaller creature, roughl human in size and stature, to squeeze inside. The old rusted door would be a bit more difficult to move, but not impossible. And through no small degree of effort, you had a way down the stairs that lead down into what could be assumed to be the labs. Adian packed up five servers that looked in decent and working condition. The rest would likely fit better in a data-void. He would find that project 198-x was not listed as a room on the map. He would instead arrive at Weapons testing, which was an entire wing on Level Two. Chambes were in Alphabetical Order, and each likely housed a different weapon project. The Chambers go all the way to ZZ, but only chambers up to AL are Occupied. His choice was to either Investigate the Warning of Chamber G, or pick a different one. Xaksaa was naturallly inclined to be a stealthy slider. His long body generated almost no direct sound, and he was able to avoid the undead. Suffice to say it isnt all that tough to avoid the undead. As he approached the merchant district, he would find that he began hearing a sound akin to a woman crying. |

Or at the very least capture some footage of it so that the index foundation could figure out what it could be and send another recovery team at a later point. He arrived at the door to chamber G and would slowly carefully examine his surroundings preparing for whatever danger could be on the other side of this door. though unfortunately he had no idea what a necron flux was or if it could damage him. if it seemed safe enough upon entering the room Adains first priority would be attempting to cut power to the device. Then if successfully in disarming the device he would take the sample store it and retrieve the data from this lab before moving on. |

Xaksaa stopped abruptly. What is this sound? ... He thought he heard something unusual besides the continuous rattling of bones. He looked around him and made sure nothing could see him. He closed his eyes, took one deep breath and listened. There, what is it, is this .... a crying woman? he asked himself. He looked at the map of the ruins to see where he was. Hmmm, probably from the merchant district ... could be bandits holding a woman capture ... or one of the cognito-hazards, one of these disembodied voices ... Never encountered one of these, I have to be wary of possessions, they may be connected to this. Probably should clear my mind and prepare a little bit before checking it out. Xaksaa sneaked around a little bit to find a little safe place. He started to breath in deeply and control the rythm of his breath to try and clear his mind. Of course he wasnt perfectly practised. He started doing this after thinking about why his accident happened. He knew that he couldnt resist his curiousness, but atleast a clear mind may help him in such situations. He sat there for a few minutes, his mind occasionally drifting into thougth ... after he finished his mind wasnt really cleared, but atleast he was relaxed Well, atleast im getting better at this ... . He looked again at the map to make sure where he wanted to (At the same time he looks, if there are any mentionable structures to perform a deep scan on ... if hes already on the way there). He sneaked towards the crying. On the way there he collected some pebbles of the ground Maybe good for some distraction, he thought. As soon as he is near enough to hear the crying clearly, he doesnt move nearer. He first scouts the surroundings and tries to get a look at the source of the crying. |

Abi Once in look for some tracks. After all something had to set off the alarms. She would draw her blade Radiance. It was a good blade. She would also get ready to cast Sparkling Mystic Armor. It unlikely to be undead but a bit of more power would help her out. She would draw forth light from anything she could. She hopes she could do this before trouble showed up but she would do all she could till then. If she finds any tracks she would begin to follow them. She would try to tell what made them as she dose. Was it human or humanoid? An undead or some kind of animal? She should be able to tell due to the likelihood that not many prints would be here and the dust would make it easier to see shaps of them. She would stop every dozen feet or show to see if she hears anything. At every corner if the tracks went around them she would stop to look around them with her sword at the ready. She will do this till she finds the one that has made the tracks that is if she finds them. If not she would look for a map or something of the area that show where she was and where some things are. She heard teals that places like them had them. |

Adian would see rudimentary weapon prototypes, the first room had multiple gun prototypes. Chamber B was developing lighter alloys and sharper blades. Chamber C had some fringier ideas. Like rocket propelled arrows, and a Sword Launcher. Chamber D was mainly focused on various weaponized cybernetics. Chamber E had a lot of Kaaos Shards and apparatus. They seemed to be trying to weaponize the darkness' lifeforce against it. Chamber F was a crater. Something blew up and everything in the chamber was now melted together in a pile of fused goop. Finally, he arrived at chamber G. Chamber G wasnt even technology. Well, there was technology. But what seemed to be the centerpiece was a skeletal wrist, and hand. It was huge. As tall as you. It was positioned by supports to be in an open palm position. In its palm was a sphere of an ominous energy swirlng ina sphere. It gave of bolts of electricity and crackled with energy. The entire room was flashing from the thing. This looked like the researches were trying to summon something, or do some ritual. Power seemed to be feeding some old pieces of machinery that be a cruel twist of fte were in nigh perfect condition. However, th computer likely made to control whatever was happening here was beyond repair. He tried to cut power to the devices, and he does succeed by damaging a conduit. However, for some reason that doesnt stop the reaction. Its still going. And you can see something begin moving in the sphere of energy. he sight looks like the powers of life and death are being harnessed, and altered. There was a decently tall building to do a scan from. And so he did, the deep scan covered about 28% of the city. The sounds were coming from a rather sturdy looking building. The structure was an old shop. It had broken displays and an upper floor. Sadly, the sound was coming from the upperfloor. Looking around, there are no signs of anything or anyone being here. Except for the crying of course. Abi kicked a rock down the stairs, generating a loud clang against the metal floor. Sadly though, the trail ends there, as this place was rather dust free. Its completely closed off environment and its metal construction makes for some rather dust free places. Meaning footsteps were non-existent. There were signs however of recent presence. The computer was on, and a few doors were freshly opened. |

Adain would observe the reaction from as safe of a distance as he could attempting to learn the nature of the experiment. as well as risk level though every alert he had was going off that evacuation was beneficial. however he could recall from some knowledge the un-dead were not all evil some had a higher level of consciousness and could be reasoned with unlike the skeletons above what stepped from this portal could be of a smart kind. once the power to the reaction was cut, Adain would register that it was past the point of return, it had reached critical mass and could complete the reaction, so Adain would attempt to locate whatever Containment procedures were in place there had to be some sort of kill switch or cage that could be dropped or created to contain whatever would be summoned. if all that had failed and whatever entering the portal showed any kind of direct hostility Adain would regrettably leave the lab and the technology there sealing the door behind him hoping to buy enough time to revisit the other labs collect his samples and move on. IF whatever entering through the portal did not show hostility as Adian stood there ready to defend his retreat from the lab, he would then attempt to engage in a dialog with it asking it a series of questions. Do you intent me harm? what are you? who are you? where do you come from? |

He just performed a deep scan from the top of a building, now his device shows him 28% in the upper left corner. Probably the area I covered with this scan. I guess they compare the data they already have with the one I just collected. Guess I have to do around 3 more scans., he thought to himself. It has been now quite some time, since he entered the ruins. Since the undead were pretty easy to sneak by, he stopped to stealth so carefully so he could move a bit faster. He still was very aware of his surroundings and if he heard something he didnt already hear, he would be more carefull again. So, lets move to this crying I heard. Probably not the beeeest idea .... but i can always run away. He stood before the building, confusion written in his face. Why is it, that nothing is here. Everywhere else it is so "lively" he muttered to himself. He started to play around with his dagger while moving around the building. He looked for a ladder or another way of some kind to get to the upper floor of this building, since he heared the crying from there. If he found something, he would first inspect, if this way would generate any kind of noise and if it could be easily used to escape. If he found something, he would use it to get a sneak peek into the upper floor. If its some kind of ladder, he leaves both of his weapons sheathed. Because of his body type he would need both hands to climb it. If he found nothing, that wasnt noisy or good for this, he would move to the storefront with both his weapons ready. He would first inspect the ground floor for any kind of blood or other traces, that someone moved to the upper floor. |

Abi Bit her lower lip. Dam..I should have seen that. She looks around and stayed where she was for a bit. After that she would follow the open doors and do a quick cheek in each room. She did stop at one door not open yet and look in it. She would try to find anything that could give her info of the place or that look of some use for her mission. She would still be drawing energy as she does this. She did not like being in a dead place like this. The only good thing was she had room to stand and move. She would sometimes cheek rooms not yet look by this other. She would keep an ear open at all time. |

Adian perused the broken consoles desperately, but it appeared that the energy in the room was interfereing with what little wireless tech was still working. Even you began to feel discomfort and haziness. And it was growing on you. You are losing consciousness. You see the lights go out, the sirens stop, and the facility shut down, but the reaction was still escalating. You could hear several horses galloping before you blacked out too. ----------- Abi would suddenly witness the lights go out, and the sirens faded immediately. Moments later, a high pitched, ear-piercing shriek replaced the eerie silence. Down the eastern hallway you could hear a horse walking towards you. In the darkness, you could could make out the faint glow of two sets of eyes. Each glowing blue, cold as the winter sky. They were slowly trotting towards you, but the feeling you get from whatever this is, is sickening. Like your body simply wants to break down, curl up into a ball and wallow in your own filth. Danger Imminent activated on its own. Looking any further at this thing inspired shock and awe, as well as an urgent need to run or hide. This was not fight or flight. This was 'get away from it'. Judging from the color, this thing was likely undead. Time is limited. Meanwhile ina completely different location on the city, Xaksaa was invesigating an old bakery. He noted that there were a fey ways in. Witha bit of clever maneuvering, and no small degree of luck, he could likely reacha window accross from his position. if that seems too much of a gamble, there is a fire escape, covered in rust, and not all that stable-looking. Or maybe a more improovised way of doing it. |

Abi She was glad she got the power she needs before the lights went out. She would run down the hall hoping to find a place to hide. She would ready her only two ability. " Is that a linch? What is that thing doing here?" She knew her powers were strong against it kind but she was out class. She wonders if that the one that set this place of? "[color=#5F9EA0Not likely..it would blow that door open most lily..did it come from the labs? Is that why this city is crawling with the undead?[/color]" She would look for a lab that has no windows and a door that is open and try to hide in it. She sure it did not see her dart into the lab.. well she hopes it did not. She would look for a place to hide that could give her a chance to run if that thing enters the room. She really did hate that she was so big and more so at times like this. She would have her sword and abilities ready to fight if she had to. Luckily her holy light abiltys will give her a bit of a chance. |

Abi had managed to hide herself. A smart thing to do, as only a few moments later the whole facility lit up for a moment. A brief flash of intense light. Then it happened again. There was a pause of silence, until the sound of a loud explosion was heard down the hall. The monsters terrible screamechoed through the halls, and you could hear the galloping of five horses fade into the distance. It took a oment, but once the silence fell, the facility sprung back to life, the lights cut back on and the loud sirens reactivated, though one alarm was gone, the one about Chamber G. Abi would find that the room she was in held what looked to be a robotic prototype. @frogoten Adian would come back online, his internal clock suggests its only been a few minutes. Now looking at the construct, it appears inactive. The controls are reactive now. You could activate them again to try and record the effects from a safer distance. Or not. Now that it was offline, you could probably approach it safely to investigate.This was all up to you. The warning of Chamber G was not within the alarms anymore. Seems that was fixed. Xaksaa began tampering with the ladder. That wasnt a great idea. Well, it was a good idea. But he wasnt lucky in this particular instance. By fates decree, the whole damn fire escape was hardly hanging onto the building, and it all began coming down. He luckily dodged it ij time, but the huge metal scaffolding began to crash down with incredible volume. Now he was desperately needing to get inside before aything that heard that came to investigate. So he began using the window. Fate had decided to be kind to him after her last stunt apparently, as all his grapples held, and he climbed into the window with amazing ease. Once he managed to get inside, he would see a lone woman, sobbing into her hands, her knees bent upwards into her chest. An explosion could be heard from quite a distance away. |

He didnt imagine that it was so unstable. ఏ,ఏ,ఏ,ఏ,ఏ,షిట్ (no, no, no, no, no, shit)... he muttered as he saw the fire escape slowy falling downwards. He didnt have a big Problem dodging it, but it hitting the ground made a loud noise and a lot of dust whirled upwards. Xaksaa stood there for a second in shock, not fully realizing what just happened. Damn it, that was probably heard, better hide fast. He managed to climb into the window, hiding fast at the side of it while having a look outwards to see if something is moving. A sobbing noise. Xaksaa was startled, as he slowly moved his gaze into the room he just entered. He totally forgot the crying he heard earlier, now he sees (probably) the source of it. For a moment he just stared for moment at the woman, not knowing what to do. Why is a woman here. Is she a real woman, is she just an illusion of some sort. Is she dangerous. Should I run? His thoughts rushed through his head while one can more more see the confusion and how he is overwhelmed by the situation. After a few seconds, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Time to do something, before she thinks, if shes real, that im one of the monsters. With one ear still hearing, if something comes from the outside, he slowly turned with his body to face her. In one Hand he took his MHPT, on which he shows his connection to the cartographers guild, while slowly raised his arms to show, that he does not want to attack her. In his mind he still was prepared to quickly grab one of his weapons with the empty hand. He tried to suppress his accent, with minimal to no success. Hello Madam, I am ssorry to intrude. Im from the cartographerss to sscan these ruinss. It sseemss there iss ssomething wrong. May I know what, I may be able to help. The sudden noise, which came from what seemed like an explosion, startled him. He tried to quickly regain his composure and to not show fear. |

Abi Would look at it. "What is that? I never saw one that looks like that before." She would look around to see if there a way to move it. She thinks this could get her the cash she needs. She looks at the computer and tries to follow it wairs to see if there another place she can open it at. "Wounder if there some that can help me?..I think that thing is gone now.." She walks to the door and looks around and don't fell it... She takes a deep breath and calls out load "hey anyone here? I need some help!" She would get ready to get her light amour on and have her sword at the ready. SHe was bad with tec for the most part. |

On the main console was a message displayed. "Activation successful. Entity was summoned successfuly. Containment procedures offline. Containment failed. Post-Activation Diagnostics: Xera Signature: 1,068 | Necron Signature: 213 | Objective 1: Success | Objective 2: Failed | Objective 3: Aborted" The hand fit quietly and peacefully into your pack after being disconnected. The devices around it were also salvageable, filling up four more spaces. As he entered chamber D, he would find multiple cybernetic limbs. Arms with firearms built in. Wrists that have a blade mechanic. Then the more extreme gatling arm, rocket limb, and flamejet. There were also leg cybernetics, those that were meant tp produce speed, stronger jumps, added weightlift, even blades, guns, and rockets loaded into the feet as well. Aside from the cybernetic weapons, there were also three computers, and four small cubes, about six inches across, with what looks to be data storage inside. It somewhat reminded you of a hard-drive. You could hear someone yelling down the halls. Xakshaa had managed to get inside, and hid. Only to remember why he was there in the first place. As he approached and addressed the woman, she lowered her hands, and looked. Up. Her hands were covered in blood, and the womans eyes... they looked as if they had been gouged out. The sight gave you a pounding headache. She wasnt crying anymore, and instead was silently looking up at you with those hollow eye sockets. They headache got so heavy, that your vision began to blur. As it did, you could no longer distinguish her features, until the headache subsided, and all that was in her place was an ancient dry skeleton. The ribs were smashed, and multiple scratches around its eyes told the story all on its own. |

Marcus “Adian” Fore less rocks 18 Data voids empty 5 DV used 1 lab chem computer 1 server back up 3 cyber lab computer 1 Storage cube 31/64 A bed, a fork, a small tablet, a rock, a lamp, a prosthetic limb, bottle of water. Induction Furnace Functional Centrifuge broken minor repairs needed. 5 Eru lab servers 4 neco hand lab devices 5 cyber arm prototypes. blade,gun,gatling, rocket, flamejet 8 cyber legs prototypes. 4 enhancement, blades, guns, rockets. Necro hand 4 data drives from cyber limb lab heal 0/1 activation time CD 0/4 @Darth_Lewdious adian would pack up the necro lab leaving nothing of major value behind, moving to the cybernetics lab. he was some how both impressed and depressed with the sight. many of the prototypes he would wish to integrate into his own structure, though he also noted many of them were much more archaic and basic then even his own basic form. he made a special note for all the ones he wished to spend time integrating for later. while he was finishing packing up the lab he heard a voice echoing though the halls calling out this made him stop in his tracks as he looked to the door. voice detected, mostly source human or close approximation. suspicion 5/10. probability of trap. 3/10. recalling memory of intrusion alert detected. lab has been sealed for hundreds of years, followed by another agent probable. but wait no, if i was followed why would they ask for help, we are competing to a degree aren't we? hmmm maybe that doesn't mean anything to them and we can divide the find. RECALCULATING INTERVENTION RECOMMENDED Adain with his weapon ready would leave the chamber and begin walking to about where he thought the voice came from loudly announcing his approach. ALRIGHT I'M COMING OVER i am armed, if i see a weapon i will attack, disarm or i'm out. trying to speak this way felt very weird to Adain but he had attempted normal speech to try and relax the situation. though even with the attempt something in his voice like always sounded wrong and harsh to the ears. Adain would approach the lab and if Abi had disarmed he woudl enter but never turn his back to her as he would examine the lab slowly. he quickly would be come interested in the mechanical life form on display though it wasn't at all similar to his design or fabrication it would lead to answers for him. a frown slowly crossed his face as he hung his head slightly. another failure but it is a good find. |

Xaksaa Xonzez
Name: Sunblade Type: Bound Item (Weapon) Rank: F Effect: Shortsword without special powers Description: Engraved in the handle of this sword is the sun, reminding the wielder to not lose hope in a difficult battle and to always be cheerful. A present of the tribe for the journey up ahead. Name: Moonrazor Type: Bound Item (Weapon) Rank: F Effect: Throwable Dagger, also usable in close combat with the off hand Description: Engraved in the handle of this dagger is the moon, reminding the wielder to see the light in a dim situation and to never lose hope. A present of the tribe for the journey up ahead. Name: Slithering Snake Type: Trait Rank: F Effect: Normal Movementspeed while Sneaking Description: He can use his snakelike body to move quicker while staying low to the ground. Xaksaa stood there silently for a few seconds, trying to grasp what just had happened. He looked at the skeleton lying before him, where just seconds ago the woman sat. Never in his life did he encounter something like this. And it was scarier than he thought. He just stood there for good half a minute before he took a deep breath, his hands still a little shaky while putting away the MHPT he held up. Before doing anything else, he checked the outside, if in the meantime anything came to look what the noise was about. Depending on how dangerous it seemed outside he would do the following a little bit quicker. I dont know if these apparitions are the ghosts of the dead, that are stuck here for some reason or not, no time to look it up. But since there is the possibility i may be able to help her ... he thought for himself while searching for a bit of cloth. After finding some, he approached the skeleton and take on a praying posture. He asked her for forgiveness and told her, that he would search for a better place for her. After that he silently took the cloth and collected her bones (trying to not touch them directly)in them to take them with him. He would go to the stairs and first look if in the meantime something came there. If the way was safe, he would leave the bakery, stumbling a little bit from the leftovers of the headache (as much as a snake can stumble ...). If the storefront was not safe, he would also look the way he came in. If both were not safe, he would collect some rocks, move downstairs hiding behind one of the counters. He would throw the rocks somewhere, where they would do some amount of noise directed away from him and then try to sneak by. He would move again in the direction of the academy. While moving there he would on the one hand look for a place, where he could bury the woman and where he wouldnt be disturbed for a moment(a little hole with some stone lying around would be enough). If he found such a spot he would put the bones in, cover them with stones and pray for her for a minute. I hope she can find some peace he whispered to himself. On the other hand would look for some other nice spots to perform a deep scan. When reaching the academy, he would again search for a vantage point and look, if it seems safe from the outside at least. |

Abi would put up her sword. Her arms still glowed with holy light. " I can not remove them at will. There more meant for undead... I'm not to good with tec and... fell this thing is able to be turn on.. You can bring what you find and both can take cridet for him." Point at him. She was looking down at hime being as she was far taller than him. " so can you do this?..I never seen one like him before " she would say looking at it but keeping an eye on him. " ill not hurt you. Will u pput your weapon up?" |
