He turned to Ptricia with a solemn expression on his face. "Allies? All the allies I have are in this room except for Rayn. Me, you, Soren and some of the Panzers, hopefully, Reizu, and Rayn. That's it. Rodriguez has...I don't know." Soren took over, the wards having been lifted to recognize him. "The Purgers rely on the age-old quantity-over-quality formula-they have thousands of drones, basic foot soldiers, with next to no elite units at all. I suppose we'd be considered elites-the five of us Chris mentioned, and the ten or so Panzers I'll be able to assemble. I'm not saying we'll be facing an army-but there will be considerable forces. I've dealt with these guys before. Before he retired Rodriguez was a talented fighter himself-and I doubt he's forgotten any of his skills. So around him we need to be careful." He pondered your last question. "He won't recognize me-the Panzers wear full-face visors. As for Chris, he never saw him, but I know for a fact one of the officers that ambushed his parents is now his right-hand man, so he could be a threat. If at all possible we need to avoid him."<br/><br/><br/>Chris's eyes went wide as he surveyed the room, saying "....wow. Nice place. This is not what I'd expected at all. I mean, we are in the docks..." He giggled to himself, troubles forgotten for now. "Listen. Just because we've got another mission doesn't mean I want us to stop having fun as a band. Seriously. Enjoy yourself." Surveying the large room again, he teetered on the edge of the gantry. Peering down, he grins to Ptricia and Reizu. "Oh yeah, I never told you how Rayn snuck up on us like that. Most of the kids in the mountains I grew up in were taught various stealth and acrobatic skills. I was never much good, but..." Stepping back about 5 feet from the gantry, he crouches down, then suddenly straightens up and charges, with a sudden burst of speed, and launches himself off the gantry, gliding effortlessly through the air before landing expertly on the bed, doing a backflip as he bounces and landing on his back. "Aaaaahhh. Haven't done that in a while." He smirks and waves to the people still up there. "Come on, slowpokes." He slides himself off the bed and sets about exploring the room, stopping for a while at the small museum thing. "Wow. Is this all your armor, Ptricia?"<br/><br/>Soren grinned at Reizu. "Yeah, I gave 'em your license. I'm gonna check the CCTV tapes-their expressions were just priceless." He laughs loudly as Chris pulls his psuedo-ninja stunt, yelling "Showoff!". He turns to Ptricia, blinking and stepping back as she shifts to sphinx. "Crikey. A sphinx. I don't know how I didn't guess before!"
