"it's not mine, so go ahead. As for me, I'm getting out of here before that guy gets up and starts attacking me again," and with that, he was running off.

Taking a deep sigh she leaned over the building and looked up, "I never cared for those cultist, or anyone like that for the matter. Look I don't know why I am so special or this object is so special as well. I don't have any powers like some people had developed at least I had not felt or seen any powers coming out from my body".

Nothing really. What I want is to bring that barrier down.  You want out of the city, and by extension, you also want to bring it down.

She could see the whole city. It was like she could see through things but not through them, from every angle and none. The perspective was new and she was having a hard time understanding it. 'No,' she thought, 'That's not right. I understand it perfectly. What I don't understand is why I understand. None of this should make any sense.' Her eyes were drawn to a massive building in the center of town. "Radiant," she whispered. There were lights, brighter than the others, converging on the building. 'I need to go there,' she thought, 'something important is going to happen there and I need to see it.' She looked down, and saw lines leading away from her and converging on a point in front of the building. As she watched more and more lines converged on the point, which now shined more brilliantly than all the rest of the city combined.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Little did Aria know but at the top of that building, in an office suite fit for a king, someone was watching those same lights converging on the building.  "So it begins," he muttered.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=73430.msg3286735#msg3286735">Quote from: cmpuncle on 13-07-2010, 15:45:32</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Yes I would hate to damage any of your stuff more than that 'shower' has already damaged it."<br/><br/>He headed out into the backyard pulling out his weapons and running through some basic stretches while he waited for the man.  <em>You know in the midst of all this I forgot to ask what I would be paid for all this.....OH! and I forgot to call Sarge.</em>  He quickly hit a button on his wrist-comm which sent a signal to the car placing it on auto-pilot so it would drive to and park itself outside of the house he was now at.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Almost as if reading Shroudblows mind, though he wasn't capable of it,  the client spoke up.  "So, in regards to payment, what do you think is acceptable for a mission like this?

The good news is, you won't have to infiltrate it alone, if you're willing to work together with a few others.  I am a member of a group that is trying to uncover the truth about this situation, and hopefully clean it up.  We were hoping to recruit you for this task.  I'll tell you right now, the pay is good, but the risks are high.  So, what do you say? Care to lend a hand?"
