Ulric was starting to regret accepting that invite, '<span style="font-style: italic">To. Many. People,</span>' he hadn't been around this many people since his parents took him to visit Stockholm when he was 8. When the man spoke from the balcony he nearly jumped out of his skin with how on edge he was from all the people. As all the men moved to one side he stayed a little away from the rest of them not wishing to be so close to a crowd anymore. When he didn't see any of the men moving to do as the strange man's request Ulric moved toward the mat himself think he was already here he may as well participate. Though outwardly he it was not visible he was very nervous wondering what the man planned for the him and the other to do.<br/>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>John was a rather ordinary man as far as he was concerned, at least until he became afflicted he was. His affliction had allowed him to interface directly with electronics overriding normal security to access what he liked. This had lead to his current predicament, he was trapped in a dead end alley with police pointing there guns at him yelling for him to get on his knees. As he was about to drop to the ground one of the mask police officers began walking over to him carrying two sets of what appeared to be headphones. As the man reached him he removed his mask and spoke, "You may want to put these on." The smirk on the mans face told John he should listen and so he took the headphones putting them on. As the headphones fell over their heads' a high pitched scream filled the alleyway causing the officers to collapse to the ground unconscious. After the officers collapsed John and the strange man removed their headphones before the man began clapping, "Excellent work Siren as always," as he spoke a women, John assumed she was Siren, approached them speaking to the man, "thank you sir I do what I can." The man turned to John "Now on to more important matters, John I presume," as the man spoke John just nodded to dumbstruck to speak, "Good allow me to introduce myself, my name is Alpha and I would like to offer you the opportunity of a life time." John just stood there for a moment before asking Alpha "What do you want," Alpha merely laughed at the question, "I merely wish to offer you the opportunity to join us in our quest to save the afflicted from the governments that would hunt them. An opportunity to join The Forgotten."
