*Thisahon looks back at Clutch his ultra sensative ears hear the conversation.*

"What is he deaf or something? I dont get it. *looks back at Ella* Youll just have to get out on your own I suppose. I am gonna run and catch up."

Eventually, his expression softens somewhat.

"You appear to be speaking the truth. As you already know now, I am Soul Reaver. These are my companions. If what you say is true, then your cause is just... but I must also warn you that this will not be easy. You need not feel obliged to help us... although your help would be appreciated."

(Hmmm...he says it's dangerous. But, it can't be worst than that time on Gorl. I'll help out. I do fight for the love of the people and the peace of the world.)

"Sounds good. Count me in, Soul. Do you mind me calling you Soul?"

Dom puts hand out for Soul to shake.

Don’t you think we should check and make sure she’s not damaged? she calls over her shoulder to Thisahon.

She takes a few steps backward as she sees the others beginning to walk away. Then, she turns and jogs to catch up with them. A bright smile crosses her lips and she nods to the others.

“Please tell me we have other modes of transportation here on the planet,” she frowns at the gunship and follows both he and Kalana to the waiting group.

When Thisahon and Ella catch up, she crosses her arms and watches the girl carefully.

By the Umbras, she looks like him…her eyes, she shakes her head and glares slightly at the girl’s sudden smile. Damn you, Brigid.

She huffs out a sigh and moves out ahead of the others, walking by herself. Her eyes move over the sights of the city, but her mind is in a totally different place.

He then turns to face the newcomer - Ella. He examines her for a few moments.

"You are... Ella, correct?..."

Soul Reaver notices Tamrissa's expression.

And Tamrissa dissapproves of her presence here for some reason. I will have to ask her about it later.

A hollow chuckle fills Soul Reaver's mind.

I will never understand how this sorry troupe has ever made it as far as they have...

When she straightens, she gives a dramatic glance to their surroundings and looks back at Soul Reaver.

I’ve overheard the talk of and now I see our reasons for being here, but I haven’t heard any mention of our chances for success in defeating the opposing forces, she frowns as two medics push past the group, a stretcher carried between them with a groaning citizen patient suffering from the loss of a leg.

Dark eyes turn to the civilians that huddle inside one of the barely-standing buildings on the sides of the street. Her nose flares as a small breeze brushes past the group, the smell of death making her grimace. She hefts her pack onto her shoulder and turns her head to stare straight ahead of her. A shiver of knowing runs down through her spine, her senses telling her that there will soon be a true struggle and much blood spilled.

She stays silent for those few moments, then speaks again as the ground rumbles with a distant explosion, Would it presumptuous of me to ask how outnumbered we are and how our technology is comparing with theirs?

“Yes, you are being presumptuous. No one has said anything about us being outnumbered and the technology is not any of your business,” she tilts her head and goes on. “You speak as if you could make a difference in these things if they were lacking. You! A little girl barely out of the cradle.”

She watches the wide-eyed expression appear on Ella’s face, a slightly bitter smirk forming on her own.

“Don’t reach above yourself, Ella Bliant, and remember that these people have ten times as much experience in these matters as you do. You are here to offer assistance, not take over the mission.”

After a brief glance at the others, she gives Ella one last menacing look and turns her eyes to where Asaki points.

~A sweet, little woman...with more bite than bark~

"Hello I am Thisahon... I am actually two people living in one body. So if you see me talking to myself.... I am not crazy."

*Thisahon looks back at Clutchfeind...*

"I really hate repeating myself but since you are unaware of how the chaos lord have Triton technology I guess I will."

*Thisahon takes a deep breath and begins to speak.*

" I may have a problem that I need to adress. You may not remember when I told you about the time the Bed family came to earth for the first time. But anyway... A group of soldiers and I managed to fight them off. I thought I killed the one they called Gisias. He is Thisiases brother. His ultimate goal is to destroy all life and absorb his brothers power. Somehow he survived... And now I fear he has Joined the Chaos lords. He may have given them Triton Technology. From what I saw earlyer they are very powerfull models. They are model 16's Mine is a model 18. The 16s have a much more adavanced defence system the relys on energy sheilds. They are also a bit faster in normal mode. I was trying to scan for The chaos drives but the smoke screen came up too quickly and interupted my sensors. I highly beleive they may have that technology... This is bad guys real bad... All of you could beat one Triton easily together... But an entire army it is gonna be tough. Thank god I have got my Triton here."

*Thisahon looks at the others.*

"He may have the antidevultian under his controll using it as a pawn. He has the ability to controll all living things no matter how powerfull."

(Ooc: 20 more days untill the oficial Tree Humper Filming begins. I have aquired a fully Digital camcorder! For more info on the movie go to http://welcome.to/jersyd)

(Wow, this does sound bad. It also sounds good. I haven't had a decent quest in a long time. I can't wait.)

"Hey guys where are we weapon wise?? Does everyone on this planet just use machines?"

"Well Thisahon, we'll deal with the Tritons as it becomes an issue. But we have to remember that our main objective is to take out the Chaos Lords and the Antedeluvian. Once we do that, then we can play clean-up with whatever's left. That's why the main force of my army is still here. Defending the town isn't the problem. It's trying to reclai the rest of the planet. The Chaos Marines are twice as powerful in the presence of their lords, and at last count, there were at least seven of them gathtered in that temple. There's the command center now."

cLuTcHFieND points to a large building. (OOC:It's the cross shaped building inside the red circle on the map)It apperantly used to be the city hall, but it has been requisitioned by the defending army. Surrounding it are dosens of groups of civilians. Upon seeing cLuTcHFieND and the rest of the party, They jump to their feet, waving, cheering, and crying.

"The Space Marine Commander has returned!"
"He's brought our saviors from the other plain!"
"All hail the warriors! Three cheers for our heroes!"

The group is forced to shove their way through the crowds to get to the steps. Two Space Marines in Terminator armour guard the doors. They salute cLuTcHFieND and open the doors. The group moves inside, and the doors are closed. cLuTcHFieND leads the group through a large lobby filled with Marines, Medics, and technicians. They come to a large door with a sign taped to it. Hastily written on the sign are the words "War Room - Authorized Personel ONLY!". cLuTcHFieND flashes an ID card at the marine guarding the door, and the marine hurredly opens it. The group enters. Thee is a huge table set up. On the table are charts, graphs, maps, and other documents. There are monitors set up all over the room, and at the head of the table, their is a large radio and a computer terminal. A map of the city domminates the rear wall. cLuTcHFieND takes the seat at the head of the table, and Kalana sits to his right. The technicians in the room leave quickly, shutting the door behind them. cLuTcHFieND regards his friends.

"Welcome to my office. Have a seat guys! Make yourself at home!"

“Are you here to save us, mistress?” his wide brown eyes gaze up at her.

She smiles softly and cups the side of his face in her palm, staying silent as she steps away. The crowd slows her movement as the group pushes their way through to the steps. People grasp her hands, sometimes kissing them, and many reach out to touch her as she passes. She looks to the others as she finally breaks free and finds that they are being treated the same, as if they had already won the battle.

Gods, let us not fail, she looks over her shoulder at the cheering crowd before she steps inside the doors.

When they reach the War Room, she takes a seat, making it obviously evident that she is trying to avoid Ella by sitting at the opposite end of the table. She turns her eyes to Clutchfiend and Kalana at the head of the table, waiting for either to speak.
