The slow rocking of Cogg's trotting through the hot desert left deep furrows in the sand. In another couple of hours a small group of cloaked marauders would pass through the furrows, perhaps stopping somewhere on the way to examine some droppings. It was trouble to come, but for now the small group could relax and discuss how to best deal with the coming enemies. They were only interrupted by Cogg's occasional braying and a passing cloud of sand. Once the sun touched the horizon and the darkness started to envelope them, they saw it. A faint blue glow in the distance, pulsing softly. It dawned on Tymor and Avarius that the humming they were hearing through the still night air was that of a plasma reactor. It seemed there could be a power source available, giving them hope of a temporary recharge of their cumbersome armours. But fate would have none of it, as Cogg suddenly reared, letting out a disgruntled bray. Someone was blocking the lizards path.<br/><br/>"That is as far as you go..." a strangely loud voice hissed through the wraps of light cloth covering its face.<br/><br/>Several more cloaked men raised from the sand, brandishing oddly untarnished weapons. Tanvi could even notice one of them, clad in thick carapace plates, holding an ancient weapon. She could not put her finger on what it was, but it was archaeotechnology, that much was apparent.<br/><br/>"One crooked finger and we'll send you into the Warp, got it?" the man with the strange voice muttered as he pulled out what looked like an auspex. The whirring instrument made some sounds and its flashing display reflected of his goggles. "Who are you and what are you doing skulking around Sun Oasis?"
