Sensors locked on bio signatures of Agent Abigail Brand and Kurt Wagner. Targets clear of main entrance. Initiating lockdown and cloak.<br/><br/>Agent Brand and Nightcrawler continue down the winding metallic staircase, and they would notice that not all the lights are on at once. The ones lining the stairs themselves, the lights would turn on as they approach that part of the twisting staircase, but then switch off once they have passed it. And above them, they would hear the entrance hatch close slowly, and then latch itself closed. On the surface the metal doors come to a close, and the sand that was once on them is pushed back up to the surface, once more masking the entrance to the safehouse.<br/><br/>After almost 2 minutes of traversing stairs, Agent Brand and Nightcrawler would come to the bottom of the steps. The area before them is dark, save for a small light at the foot of the stairs themselves.<br/><br/>Main workshop powerup. Initiating illumination and display cases. Begin playback of MessageStark001.<br/><br/>The lights of the room before them now slowly flicker on, and slowly they would see just what they are dealing with. A metal walled room almost a quarter of a mile long, and just as wide. It seems empty for the most part, save for what appear to be metallic cabinets strewn along the walls every few yards. Nothing out of the ordinary as yet. Another moment, and they would then hear the voice of Tony Stark echoing throughout the room.<br/><br/>“Abigail, I knew you’d be able to figure it out. I’d like to say I’m impressed, but I’m not surprised. Always said you had good head on your shoulders. And good things below your shoulders too. Sorry I can’t be here to welcome you. Been a little busy saving the world and all. Again. You know how it is. Anywho, welcome to the Marhaban Safehouse.”<br/><br/>Actuation cue alpha. Opening display cases.<br/><br/>The voice from nowhere falls silent, and now lights come on over some of the metal cabinets closest to them in the room. The sound of gears whirring is heard, and one by one the cabinets open themselves. And the cabinets, it turns out, are merely display stands. Displaying one of the things they came looking for… weapons.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/guns005.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/guns003.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/guns002.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/guns001.png)</div></div><br/>Begin playback MessageStark002<br/><br/>Once more Tony’s voice is heard from all around them.   “So maybe you’re wondering just why I wanted you to come all the way out here. At first it was for a date, but turns out I’m still busy. So how about this.. I know you guys are having some issues in Port Said. Daddy’s been watchin. And you’re going to get more of the business handed to ya. So since I like you so much, you can have these.”<br/><br/>They’ll notice there’s about 6 of each gun type.<br/><br/>“I know it’s not what you were expecting maybe. Maybe you wanted more or something, I dunno. But it just so happens the last time I was there, it was to try and sell some arms to local magistrates. Long story. You’ll find ammunition for them in the display cases near them, which should all be open now.”<br/><br/>Indeed more of the display cases slide open, revealing an abundance of different ammunition, as well as light armor. Perhaps the kind the police would use.<br/><br/>Activation cue beta.<br/><br/>“But those are small potatoes compared to this. I wouldn’t do this for anyone, but you’re hot. So… well there ya go.”<br/><br/>Lights now come on in the floor below them, making a lighted path to the extreme end of the hall. The lights would pulse softly to lead them in that direction. And once they are there, a larger enclosed display case is there against the wall.<br/><br/>Begin power up procedures. Bio security measures deactivated.<br/><br/>From the display case, the sound of metallic locks latching and unlatching is heard. It almost sounds like someone is opening a very large safe door or something. The lights around the large display case come to life, and the outer doors of the display case slide open. A glass shell is under the metal case against that wall, but under the glass.. a suit of armor. It looks like Iron Man, alright. But with subtle differences.. the glass shielding slides apart and disappears into the wall, and there is the sudden and subtle sound of the suit itself powering up. The eyes of the armor flash to life, as does the triangular chest insignia.<br/><br/>“Abigail...meet Sandstorm.”<br/>(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/ironmandesertarmour.jpg) (http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/ffxivghost/media/ironmandesertarmour.jpg.html)<br/><br/>Tony’s voice fades as the armor seems to unlatch itself at various points along the body, and the front of the armor folds outwards. It almost looks like one would just step into the armor, and it would fold itself around the wearer.<br/><br/>“Sandstorm’s one of my best boys. No, he’s not as powerful as most of my other brilliant innovations, but I figure you’ll get damn good use out of him. All you have to do is step into it, and it’ll do the rest. It’s a modular armor, so as long as you’re my approximate height… and you just about are.. it’ll mold itself to fit you. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t think of hurting that delicious body with my armor being to squeezy. Or, well if you want someone else to use him.. it’s your call. The anti-theft measures are deactivated, so anyone can use it that it’ll fit. Given that.. please don’t lose it.”<br/><br/>There is a few moments of silence, and then Tony’s voice is heard once more.<br/><br/>“I know I don’t have to tell you this.. but there’s more at stake here than our asses. Agent Brand, we’re the beginnings of the resistance. It’s to us now the fight comes. The world needs us, it needs it’s heroes. Take Sandstorm, take these weapons. Go out there and destroy this evil, at every turn. The whole of the human race is relying on you. I’m relying on you. End of speech. Stark out.”<br/>
