Draiss nodded to Tysinni's comment. "Yeah, that was why I came to you. I knew the wording was 'wrong' for an ally, but I am not used to tying to convince them to not try and do things I would rather them not. Enemies, now, enemies I can make dance however I want. Most of the time."<br/><br/>Draiss grinned at Mordin's flustering, before shrugging. "It was the avatar's fault, really. The newest one, and hadn't been in any fight except for the parasite types that try to destroy regardless of the circumstances. Going against one that could think without even the most basic of defenses was its fault. A good learning experience for the surviving avatars and myself. I just wish I could help you all sense the energies. It is... gah, I can't really describe it. The closest thing I can think of is an combination of all four energy waves, arcane, divine, psionic, and technology, and then it is inverted, but even that is wrong."<br/><br/>The note was... foreboding, and he could immediately tell who she was talking about. Verdelet. He paused, and stared at the wall, before summoning two stealth assassin death squad teams, and flicked his armor, before heading out to make rounds. V was experimenting with time. He was suddenly behind the curve, and that was not a good place for him to be. He sighed, and made a note to go hunting again, but first, he had to clean house. He went straight to the war room, and tapped three keys, each one shutting down every construct in the domain, the second pulled in the selected kill teams and the two Lord units, the shadow stalker lord would be with him while he checked the organics, and the death squad lord would be with the second team, checking the constructs for the unique coding system assigned to each chassis and each program. Constructs with errors in either would be confined and examined to determine why they had errors.<br/><br/>He would be making rounds, and each floor was now sealed, though the stairs were still in existence, they simply led back to the same floor. He and his teams were the only ones that could move between floors. The third was the sinister button, as all the defenses went from conditional and passive to active, the entire domain taking on a slightly sinister air, like a dragon's lair would when the dragon was hunting intruders.
