<br>
<br>
Due to your necessary skills, you have been selected as part of a large international reconnaissance team sent to investigate the ‘Other World’. We are certain that you have heard about this portal into another world, so we will not waste precious time detailing it. We don’t have that kind of time; inhabitants from this world have managed to bypass this barrier and slip onto Earth and they have caused serious damage. We are sure that you have seen the news lately so we will not waste time on that either, we are certain you have at least heard about the infamous dragon attack in Shanghai last year or the Charybdis found in the Strait of Messina last month. Every creature you have heard of from lore and myths seemingly comes from this world.<br>
<br>
<br>
However, the heart of the matter is the expedition which has been arranged. You have been selected because you either provide a valuable service to the team or because you can help achieve the main objective of this voyage. Your team is to assess any valuable elements to this world based on your specialty and report back. If you choose to accept this valuable opportunity you will play a role in the decision of how we will respond to this new world.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please respond immediately.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
This world is our creation. The specifics should not matter except when keeping things consistent. The place our characters will land will be a dense jungle-like area, but that is not the whole world.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
I reserve the right to ask you to leave if you break any of these rules.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"You left your king exposed," Chris said sliding a knight into place, "Check." he raised an eyebrow at the bulky man sitting across from him. Victor's eyes were not on the board but elsewhere. He was busy watching the members of their camp as they hurried around making last minute preparations.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Checkmate." the grunt murmured reaching out and knocking his own king down, Chris opened his mouth to protest but Victor held up a hand, "You were going to win anyways, I hate these kind of games. The king should be able to do whatever the hell he wants to do instead of that stupid one space at a time thing."<br>
<br>
<br>
"But that's the challenge of it.  It's all about strategy and the queen-"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Don't you have things you need to pack, Winters?" Victor snapped hoping to end the conversation. He had played Chess about four times before in his life and still found no interest in the game, especially not now when the camp was in chaos and the departure time was so soon.<br>
<br>
<br>
In the distance, the sky flickered periodically with sparks of vivid blues and brilliant crimsons as if the portal between the worlds was nothing more than animals launching miniature fireworks into the sky. A flush of excitement rushed through his limbs and his face broke into a wide grin as he thought about what their small team would discover on the other side. He had watched the news eagerly during the attack on Shanghai last year feeling an almost primal urge to involve himself in this adventure. He could remember seeing the rain of fire on the news wondering what it would have been like to see that behemoth lighting down on the Shanghai Tower or to hear its fearsome roar as it launched its body up into the air tearing the tower away with it as if if were made of Lego blocks. The recent coverage of the Charybdis in the Strait of Messina had sealed the deal for him. He would have rather died than keep himself away and he had used every favour and promise he could manage to get him into this position. He was nothing more than a foot soldier, but he was too excited about the opportunity before him to worry about that.<br>
<br>
<br>
Chris leaned back in his seat and shrugged, "I feel like I've been ready for weeks. I couldn't sleep so I've been packed for awhile." Victor could only agree and he shrugged pushing his fallen pieces towards the man who began to put them away.<br>
<br>
<br>
"You're not bringing this stupid game with you are you?" Victor asked with a genuine chuckle.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Not enough room." his partner explained though his tone indicated that he didn't think it was a 'stupid game', "We should probably get up, anyways. We're going to be gathering soon and leaving camp for the barrier soon. I'm not totally convinced that Derrick is as nice as he seems to be."<br>
<br>
<br>
Victor shrugged in response, "I like him. He seems like a guy you could grab a beer with through and through."<br>
<br>
<br>
The two men rose from their seats and Victor folded the table up before leaning it against the side of a tent. The campsite was just half a kilometer away from the site where they would cross over and it was to be kept assembled for the next team. They were sending small groups of individuals through every couple of days and together they would contribute their findings to the overall project... well the ones that had input to submit. Victor was a simple 'hired gun' meant to help protect members of the team. Chris finished putting away his game-board and pieces and he worked his way back to the tent he had been using to gather up the supplies he meant to take into the other world with them today. Victor made his way to his tent and slung his backpack over his shoulder before doing the same to his rifle just as casually.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Need a hand Bowden?" he asked Tiffany passing by her tent and she poked her head out of it. She had a piece of toast between her teeth and her hands were busy trying to close her over-stuffed backpack but she still shook her head. She mumbled something into her piece of toast but Victor couldn't even guess what she was trying to say so he shrugged and passed by her. The shake of her head had been a binding statement and he was too excited about the day's events to linger to ask her to repeat herself.<br>
<br>
<br>
He found his way to the spot they had been told to meet at soon and he leaned against a tree to wait. His muscle-bound body probably looked tense and while every muscle seemed to be that way, it was from excitement rather than from stress or worry. He was considerably early to the rendezvous point though he didn't mind. Here, at least he was closer to the spot where they would cross over into a whole new world filled with the wondrous things he had seen on the news. He watched the sparks in the sky and wondered what it would feel like to be sent through the barrier and what the new world would be like. It would definitely satisfy his desire for adventure, that's all he knew.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Cottle...I continue to find myself rather....baffled at your constant need to play this music so loudly. Though I assume you sing at such a frequency so that certain animals can listen to you in passing?" the voice came from Cottle's sports watch<br>
<br>
<br>
"You know.....some would take what you said as an insult young lady but we will dismiss that as a joke among friends hmmmm?" Cottle said teasingly as he pulled his black Jeep into the clearing. As soon as the car was parked he leaped out with the excitement of an eight year old lining up for a field trip. He surveyed the area briefly and spoke loudly "GOOD MORNING ALL!" He then jogged around to the back of the Jeep and unloaded a rather large backpack and what seemed like a large metallic travel case. He started to make his way over to the group of tents. He poked his head into the first one his saw and came across a young lady. She seemed to be in between breakfast and shoveling items into a bag. If the personal file was correct then this must be.... "Morning Ms. Bowden! It is truly a pleasure to meet some one as accomplished as yourself, and at your age as well! Names Derrick, don't call me Mr. Cottle please...it ages me." He grabbed her hand quickly and gave it a rapid shake. "I won't hold you up, you seem rather busy, but if ya need anything just let me know." He left as quickly as he came in. She seemed nice rather quiet but then again she had food in her mouth. He started to make his way towards the bulky guy next to the tree. Once he arrive he sat his backpack down next to the traveling case. This had to be Lancaster, there was no picture of the Captain in the personal file he was given, but look at this guy he was huge, had to be him. "How are you doing today, sir? I want to just say it is an honor to finally meet you and the rest of the crew. I also want to personally say thank you for overseeing the security and overall safety of this mission." He then noticed the military uniform had the marking of a 'grunt'. "Huh.."<br>
<br>
<br>
Gabby was quick to respond from the watch. "You will have to excuse Cottle, Officer Robson...he may be intelligent but when he becomes excited he tends to lack the capabilities of comprehension for a time. This is Derrick Cottle, the lead in this mission. I will assume that you and Ms. Bowden are not the only two here correct. A Dr. Winters should be here, along with Miss Master and Mr. DeMarco if I'm not mistaken? Unlikely some people I tend to memories what I read AND the faces they go with."<br>
<br>
<br>
Cottle looked at his watch for a moment. "I am going to  find a way to place you on mute at some point. Anyway excuse the misunderstanding Officer Robson but I still stand by my statement thank you for lending us your skills in combat, for the safety of this crew." He extended his hand for a shake.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Tres had just finished her packing, as most of it was already done before she went to sleep, when Alexander poked his head into her tent. Since he already knew Tres pretty well, he didn’t worry about formalities. He said, “Yo, the others look like they’re about ready to go. You?”<br>
<br>
<br>
Tres nodded. “Yeah, I just finished packing. Hey, since you’re there, hand me my coffee?” Alexander chuckled and nodded. He came in all the way, grabbed her coffee mug, and handed it to her. She took it with a nod and took a sizable gulp. As she did so, Alexander left. Tres was excited about this mission. She had always liked the various kaiju myths from around the world, so when she had first learned of the attacks, her first thought was the desire to learn more about these creatures. Sure it was a tragedy that so many lives were lost during the attacks, but there was nothing she could do for them, so she focused on her expertise, as well as trying to get on board one of the research expeditions. She may have only been a historian, but there was actually a need for her knowledge, and with her brother’s influence behind her, it wasn’t that hard to get assigned to a research team.<br>
<br>
<br>
Alexander was getting his things together when the black jeep pulled up. He heard the driver yell his greeting, and gave the man a mock salute. Being that Al was part of the team’s security detail, he already knew the man’s name; knew everyone's name and role, really. Derrick Cottle. The leader of the team, and quite the computer whiz. Al was already planning on introducing himself, just on that common ground alone. He hefted his bags onto his shoulders and slung his rifle across his chest before joining Cottle and Robson. When he got to the tree, and seeing that greetings were being exchanged between the two other men, he dropped his bags and did a last-minute weapon check. He already knew the rifle was good to go, but it never hurts to check again.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">A deep bark of laughter escaped from Victor's throat and he grabbed Derrick's hand and shook it firmly, "Could happen to anyone," he said cracking a broad friendly smile, "My ex-wife always used to joke that my mother was probably a brick house... it's not hard to imagine why my mother hated my ex-wife. Your... wristwatch is right though. Officer Robson, here to serve, call me Victor." and he executed a salute with only the practiced exactness that a man who had been in the military for over thirty years could manage.<br>
<br>
<br>
Chris arrived shortly after, "Sorry, that I'm late. I had to repack my bag to make sure that if our entrance is too rough that my equipment won't suffer too much damage." he said offering a reason for why he hadn't been first to the site with Victor. He didn't like the feeling of being late or of making others wait but the urge to keep what meager equipment he was bringing safe was higher. He was only bringing a dozen small containers to hold specimens, several small petri dishes, and a small but solid (he hoped) microscope, and his notes and a large reference book as far as equipment went and he wanted to keep what he could bring safe. He was used to working in a lab with generous resources and not just what he could carry.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm Dr. Winters." he said extending his hand to be Derrick with a slight smile, "For the purpose of this expedition, everyone may call me Chris."<br>
<br>
<br>
Tiffany felt a twinge of nervousness after being visited by Derrick.  She attributed it more to realizing the realities of the voyage she was about to take rather than from Cottle's reminder about her age. She was nervous to be here but she was tremendously enthused about the idea, even if how she came to be here had largely been a fluke.  They had asked her old mentor first and while he had been excited by the offer, he felt that his age would be problematic at 74 so he had suggested Tiffany be sent in his stead.  She didn't dwell too much on that thought however as she reasoned with herself that that was the nature of networking. Just because she hadn't been as carefully hand-selected to be here as the others she should not just assume that she didn't belong.<br>
<br>
<br>
She choked down the rest of her tasteless piece of toast before she finally managed to wrestle her bag shut. She struggled to fling it over her back and when she stood up she could feel the weight of her bag pulling her back. She supposed she didn't need to bring everything that she had, and perhaps the few thick volumes that she had brought were overkill, but she would rather not be missing something she needed. She doubted that she was the only archaeologist involved in this process though she knew she was the only one on this particular expedition and she didn't want to make that kind of assumption without knowing. She might be the only person to see cultural value in things beyond the barrier and she wasn't intending to let anything be as carelessly destroyed as humans had done to their own cultures.<br>
<br>
<br>
Her nervousness flushed away as she became excited about the possibilities of what she might see.  Her imaginings at the very least made her backpack feel lighter on her back (that or she was growing accustomed to the weight of her bag). She checked her watch nervously and began a light sprint to their rendezvous point fearing that they would have left without her. She was always late. Arriving to the spot where they were supposed to meet made it clear that they were at least still waiting for a few stragglers.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Tiffany," she said and took in a deep swallow of air now feeling the weight of her bag (was it too late to get rid of some of her books?), "Tiffany Bowden. It's a pleasure to meet all of you." she said with a bright smile as she tried to meet everyone's eyes. She only met a few of people's gazes, Chris, for example, had his back turned to her so she did not have an opportunity to meet his eyes.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I hope I wasn't too late." she said with a cheerful laugh, "I'm kind of hoping that for some reason this piece of junk watch won't work in the other world so I could stop being late to things."<br>
<br>
<br>
"So I guess we just have the real Lancaster to wait for and Dr. Thompson and Gutierrez?" Victor said mirroring Alexander by pulling out his rifle for a last-minute check.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The drive to the camp ground just before the rift was quite the bumpy ride, leaving Margaret to cling to the handle beside the door of the red jeep being driven by Hector. The doctor gasped a little to a few of the drops here and there, accompanied by the grunts of the driver as he gave his signature cheesy smile and waved his hand a little. "It's alright. Nothing to worry about, Doctor. You are in good hands. I will get us there," he chimed cheerfully as Margaret smiled a little towards the artist and chuckled. "I know you will, Hector...It has been a fairly long time since I have been...dune riding," hinted Margaret before crying out again to another sudden drop, making Hector laugh heartily to hearing her cry of surprise. "So mean to me," she pouted before Hector smirked and shook his head. "Sorry, Doctor. I cannot resist," he cooed.<br>
<br>
<br>
The duo arrived at the edge of the camp not too long after, the jeep coming to a slow gradual halt before Hector put it in park. He hopped quickly out of the driver's seat and rushed to the other side with his hand extended out to his guest just as Margaret was getting ready to get out of the car herself. "Hector, I can still somewhat see. I don't need help getting out," she reminded him before his smile only grew. "Who said I was helping you out of the car because of your sight, Doctor?" he retorted back, making Margaret blink a little in surprise to the genuine and sincere gesture, taking Hector's hand and stepped out of the car, color rushing to her cheeks at the kiss on the back of her hand. "Now, I will unpack the car, yes?" he suggested, dashing off to unload the bags before Margaret had the chance to speak or say anything that would suggest she would take care of her own bags. "Persistent, isn't he?" thought Margaret to herself before turning to look around at the camp. She could see the outline of a few people in the distance and could hear the shuffling of feet in a couple of the other tents. Probably some of the other team getting the last of their gear ready before they would step into the rift.<br>
<br>
<br>
"So Mr. Gutierrez, you never answered my question when we first started driving out here..." reminded Margaret as she watched Hector set down her three bags: one metal suitcase with extra padding and temperature control for the important medicine she needed to keep chilled for the worst case scenario, one large hiker's backpack with her normal clothes and simple toiletries, and her larger medical bag with the other tools she would need. There was already another crate filled with other supplies that she might need on the trip but it would be lugged around with a couple of other stuff. "What made you sign up for this job?" continued the doctor as Hector sighed, finishing adjusting his packed bags before he smiled and turned to the scarred doctor. "The excitement of new life...the journey to another world...to paint what has not been seen. I simply want to document the life there," he reminisced as Margaret tilted her head to the side. "That's a pretty tall order," she commented. "Yes...but you are here to ensure the safety of everyone on the team. That is a tall order too, no?" he answered before starting to walk towards the others, leaving Margaret in his wake a little stunned by the wise words. Smiling to herself with a soft shake of her head, Margaret put on her backpack and lifted the other two smaller bags, starting to walk towards the team to introduce herself.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Hola amigos! I am Hector Gutierrez, artist and scribe for the mission," he introduced himself, holding his hand out first to shake hands with Victor, followed by the same gesture towards Derrick while Dr. Margaret Thompson finally caught up with her companion.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Eight people, one military grade, one mercenary, seven civilians, and two truly combat worthy. This mission will be unique, and Arlet didn't like unique missions. But this was not about what she liked. Command had given her the mission because they felt she was worthy and she would have to make sure this went through at all cost to prove them right. She took her eye away from the scope and stood up from her prone position on the hill. She had placed herself  forty kilometers (.25 miles) from the campsite at the highest elevation she could find. She had arrived 2 weeks before everyone else. She liked to know the terrain, particular one near a 'gate'. The group seemed reasonable enough when she looked at the security detail.  A few people came as odd to her but this would not effect her part in the mission and that is to ensure that this mission goes safely and that her group does not commit any foolish mistakes. She also preferred to watch people when they don't know she is watching, they go about their natural tendencies without her interference. That and she had two books she really wanted to read and being alone allowed for little interruption. She released the bullet from the chamber it caught it deftly in her hand before placing it in her pocket. She slung her PSG1 on her shoulder and placed her book into her backpack. She took out her sidearm and checked it, just habit really. Most of her life was habit but she didn't mind, habit keep her safe, but her former mentor always told her to throw in a little entropy now and again, the crazy old man. She let herself have a rare, slight smile as she recalled him. Time to focus, her face became neutral and she picked up her military duffle bag, which was rather heavy seeing as she had a few more weapons in it, and slung it on her other shoulder as she hoped on her bike. She never spoke about it much but she had a deep love for nature and tried her best to not damage it, besides a bike ride from this distance would only take a few minutes.<br>
<br>
<br>
Once she arrived in front of the group she waited for everyone to finish be for approaching. once they had finish she approached Derrick. He was a late arrival, along with Hector and Dr. Thompson. She also noticed that Bowden and Dr. Thompson were indeed around her age, this could be an issue but perhaps her concerns were again misplaced. After all she was second in commander and in charge of two men, both of which were almost twice her age. Though she had been in service since she could crawl so she was not young at least in military terms. When she spoke she was somewhat quiet, not out of shyness, she just had a tendency to speak low most of the time. Her manner was professional and portrayed little emotion<br>
<br>
<br>
"Good morning, Mr. Cottle, I am Captain Lancaster. I will be handling the groups security and tactical support." without waiting for his response she moved so that the others in the group could hear her. "Good morning everyone. I will be leading your groups security. This may be a bit redundant to all of you but regardless I will make this statement. As civilians I request that you all follow your assigned task and if combat situations are to arise you are to follow my orders first followed by Officer Robson and Mr. DeMarco. Any internal actions that may interfere with the safety of the group will be handle by me personally." Again after she addressed the non combatants she worked her way over to Alexander and Victor. "Hello Officer Robson and Mr. DeMarco. I it is an honor to serve with you today. You both are seasoned men so I will not go over issues I feel you will know. That being said..." she reached into her pocket and handed them each small earpieces. "These are to be worn by you at all times, removing them only when necessary or upon my orders. They are both water and shock proof as well. Robson you shall take point when we enter the gate. DeMarco you shall cover the rear. You will each walk 10 paces from the group making sure they are spaced out among each other. I shall be few feet area from you all when were are in a spacious area and will hug the sides of the group when we are tighter corridors. I trust your discussion making skills and will not constantly bark orders at you, you are free to make decisions you feel will help the group, however when an order is given I do expect you to follow it. Finally, in my duffle I have extra weaponry should you require it, it contains a few frags and smoke grenades, a pump action shotgun, 2 sub machine guns and a Panzerfaust, which we will hopefully never use. We will divide the extra ammo and weapons among each other." She finally turned so that everyone could see her. "Now are there any other questions?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Derrick returned the broad smile to Victor and laughed. "Pleasure to meet you Victor. The AI is named Gabby by the way....that's the talking watch."<br>
<br>
<br>
Gabby was slightly annoyed at 'talking watch but she chose to ignore it for now. "A pleasure to meet you Officer Robson"<br>
<br>
<br>
Derrick then turned Chris and shook his hand rigorously. "An honor to me you Chris, I have read a few of your earlier papers, some of them even helped me a bit in the development of Gabby, amazing stuff!"<br>
<br>
<br>
When Hector arrived at the scene Derrick also shook his hand just as enthusiastically. "Greetings sir, the names Derrick Cottle and welcome to the crew. We were about to..."<br>
<br>
<br>
That was when Derrick saw Arlet and she began to speak. He stared blankly for a moment in shock. It all happened so fast, she gave out command so quickly and with precision. on top of that this girl was young....REALLY young, well at least to be commanding officer. This was Lancaster?! Well she seemed to know what she was doing so who was he to complain. "Good morning Captain Lancaster, I'm Derrick, and this is, Victor, Chris, Tiffany, Tres, Alexander and Hector. The little lady on my wrist is Gabby. We are all in your care for the duration of the mission, I do really have any questions but I cant speak for the group." He stood to the side just in case anyhow had a request to make of the Captain.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Tres got to the group just after Tiffany did. She was too excited to make conversation, but she could at least introduce herself. She found Derrick and said, "Tres Masters, reporting for duty." She gave a halfhearted salute, but that was more out of cheekiness than disrespect. Again, she was excited, and her brother was an...interesting influence on her. She looked around and noticed that there were still a few people missing. Two of note being the security chief and the doctor. Tres made it a point to read Arlet's dossier, as she wanted to make sure she wouldn't disappoint the chief.<br>
<br>
<br>
Alexander had just been introducing himself to the gang when his boss for this assignment showed up. She was quite young, but since she was the chief of security, he didn't question it. Trio had a few young'uns that were every bit as good as Alexander, and besides, reading the woman's dossier, it appeared that she knew what she was doing. He nodded as she gave him his orders, and accepted the ear-piece. having used similar equipment before, he knew that this little gadget was indeed rugged and tough enough to handle whatever the Other World could throw at it. So far, it sounded like a standard VIP convoy op, but Alexander knew that since there were more civilians than security personnel, things could go south pretty quickly, but he elected not to mention it. Chances were good that Captain Lancaster knew that as well, and the civvies didn't need to know that.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The flush of distaste Robson felt for Lancaster was immediate and sharp and he felt his mouth pull into a tight line though he took care to keep his dislike for her off of the rest of his face. It did nobody any good to see his disappointment with Arlet. It wasn't that he disliked how young and small she was, he was the oldest of the trip and he was used to others appearing small next to him... his body was his temple, to borrow the horribly abused phrase, and he figured that his physical fitness was the thing he was most proud of... as he had never quite gotten the hang of keeping women or money around for long. But the long story made short was that those things did not bother him. Nor did he feel any form of hesitation over the fact that she was a woman.<br>
<br>
<br>
No, his distaste came from her rigidity. It sounded as if she had been reciting a manicured well-practised script and he reached for the earpiece dutifully. He did not like how her first impression made it seem like she had a stick rammed so far up... well, he didn't want to be too crass, those kinds of thoughts were generally reserved for his ex-wife. He had worked under people like her his whole life, he really shouldn't feel much disappointment regarding that... and yet he did. He knew he had a job that he needed to do and he was not the kind of man to ignore that, but he was also the kind of person who liked to enjoy himself a little, it was likely the character fault that led to him being so easily parted with aforementioned women and money. He would have preferred to do his job, but less formally, he thought the loosened rules were to be a perk of crossing into a world where they would not be monitored. Oh well, his disappointment was his fault entirely, he had imagined this more as an adventure than a serious military operation... Arlet's admittedly firm guidance probably wasn't a bad thing in the end. He didn't like his leash to be short enough to choke him, but he most certainly needed the leash. He was disappointed, but he would be fine.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yes, ma'am." Victor barked loudly in a gravely serious voice and gave her an identical salute to the one he had given Cottle.<br>
<br>
<br>
A smile crept onto Chris's face after Derrick's kind words, "Thank you. It's great to be recognized for my work. I didn't think anything I wrote about was particularly ground-breaking, but I suppose I'm comparing that to what I'm hoping to extract from this expedition."<br>

He looked as if he was about to say more when the wristwatch Derrick was wearing gave a loud chirping noise followed by the weak crackle of Mr. Allnut's voice, "I hope I didn't bother you too much Gabby, but you're the one who seems to keep Derrick on track. Want to let him know that if you want to cross over today that you need to be here within the hour? I'm sure you've noticed the little light show we have going down at the site and it's not just because I like the colours. My calculations show that the barrier won't be weak enough to send people through again until Tuesday at 4 A.M. and you'd have to go through with the other expedition scheduled for that time. And Gabby? Thanks for letting me through. I didn't contact you on important processing equipment this time, but I still didn't want a repeat of the last time I tried to talk to you and Derrick." and the chirping noise sounded again signalling that he was done talking.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Margaret kept to herself a little away from the group, seeing the faint outlines of each person conversing with one another animately...or not so much. She could only smile to herself to how happy and inviting Hector was with meeting the other people of the team. Shaking their hands, giving them a warm hello, and immediately coming up with ideas of what to document, he just couldn't stop talking about it during the entire drive to the site. But Margaret didn't mind... She missed hearing people talking so animately about their work. She had not heard someone so excited about something for a long, long time...herself included. She just wish she had the same energy and tenacity as Hector when it came to exploring the unknown through the rift. Margaret just knew that the team needed a doctor to keep everyone in check and she needed a distraction...something to keep her mind from wandering and thinking too hard. Grabbing her bags, Margaret started to walk closer to the others, making her way for the tree where Chris and Victor were settled.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hector got excited to Derrick starting to speak to him before he blinked to the sudden interruption by the young commanding officer Arlet of security, immediately becoming quiet to how serious she sounded one gentleman, Victor he believed, who already looked like he knew how to handle a few weapons of his own and then some. But he could feel the displeasure from the larger older man of the group about being ordered around by a younger woman who seemed to have the feelings of a robot. Everything seemed to be an order or a command, not a gesture to show compassion to others or an interest in who they were. Strictly business, business, business... Hopefully everything would lighten up once the team reached the other side of the rift. All Hector knew was he was in it to document everything... He will be drawing some darker pieces for the introductions part he thought...<br>
<br>
<br>
Margaret grunted to the effort of moving over and around the jagged loose rocks of the earthy floor, handling some of her bags a little over her shoulders to try and get all of it in one general area in both of her hands and on her back, that way she didn't have to spread out her strength in so many places and potentially lose one bag or the other. In the process of readjusting one of the bags in her hands, Margaret's eyes grew wide to tripping over a big rock, crying out in slight surprise before she bumped into Victor, her smaller bag with her vials of herbal oils and medicinal plants bursting open as the vials rolled out onto the dirt. She quickly knelt down to pick them up, her face flustered from the accident. "I am so sorry, sir. I didn't mean to bump into you like that. How stupid of me," she criticized herself, her head tucked down to keep her scarred eyes from being seen. The last thing she wants to do is scare everyone in the team with her...unfortunate body signature from the lab accident she had years ago.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Ah, Doc," Victor said with a slight frown as he crouched to help the poor woman who was scrambling to gather up all of the supplies that had been strewn about at his feet, "Hopefully none of these will save my life later!" he said cracking a smile and laughing.<br>
<br>
<br>
He gathered a few of the vials that had been fortunate enough not to break and a few that had popped open but with supplies that could easily be put back in. Her head was duck low but he knew from their introductions and by the supplies that she had dropped after crashing into him that she was the doctor. Everyone else had officially introduced themselves in the crew save for a certain Dr. Margaret Thompson. He also noted her identity along with her external appearance, her head was ducked low so he couldn't see her face but he could see her slender outline and her neatly arranged brown hair, he also knew that she was far too young for him. He was probably almost twice her age. Oh well, that hadn't stopped him before.<br>
<br>
<br>
He held out the vials that he had gathered watching her tilted head from his crouched position for her to look up so that he could see her face, "I think I can forgive you even if they will save my life later... I can always forgive a beautiful woman." he said as his roguish grin stretched wider.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Still pawing the ground and grabbing as many of the vials and gauze she could find, Margaret smiled a little to Victor's attempt at a joke to try and lighten the mood, placing the materials back into the small bag. "No...if anything these would just be to make your exterior wounds not hurt so much and to make itchy rashes stop," she answered honestly.<br>
<br>
<br>
From what she heard of the others introducing themselves and a very brief summary of each person on the team when she was first recruited for the mission, this must have been...Victor. A grunt, for lack of a better word, who had quite the amount of combat experience under his belt...far more than Margaret would have ever wanted to experience. When it came to battles, war, and fighting, Margaret always did her best to avoid it as much as possible. Confrontation was not something she looked forward to dealing with. Fixing the other vials she had collected first, Margaret glanced beside her, her head still down to hide her face as she took the vials from Victor's extended hand, placing them into the bag one at a time in the appropriate order. She stopped for a moment at the mentioning of her being a beautiful woman, closing her eyes for a moment with a pit sinking feeling in her gut. It always started off like this...the compliments of her good looks until they actually did see her face and everything would come to a full stop.<br>
<br>
<br>
Figuring getting it over with now rather than later, Margaret sat upright and looked right at Victor, her eyes covered with healed scars from a chemical burn around the corners of her eyes and across the bridge of her nose, accompanied by a sad smile. "I am afraid you will never forgive me then..." she joked sadly, looking down as she reached for the last few vials in Victor's hand.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Alexander watched as the grunt, Victor, helped the doctor pick up the dropped vials. He would've helped, but Victor happened to get there first, seeing as how he only had to turn around. Alexander had read that the doctor was nearly blind as a result of an accident, but he was hoping that it wouldn't be as bad as it seemed to be. Even while reading, the average person would see someone in front of them out of their peripheral vision, but it didn't seem like doctor Thompson had such a luxury. When she looked up at Victor, Alexander got a good look at the scars around her eyes and felt a pang of sympathy. However, the soldier in Alexander had a different, more brusque thought. In that part of his mind, Alexander thought that having someone who was nearly blind would be troublesome at best, and downright disastrous at worst. He shook his head slightly, hoping nobody would notice it. The woman was most likely a good doctor, but objectively speaking, Alexander didn't think she belonged here, and he figured that he wasn't the only one with that thought.<br>

Tres hadn't looked at the commotion as her focus was on an e-reader containing various mythology books. Since they were the only sightings thus far, she had been reading about the Charybdis and the various Chinese dragons. Granted, there were likely to be many more, at least as many as were in the world's various myths, but Tres wasn't concerned with them yet. Of course, it was likely that the dragon and the Charybdis would not be the ones the team would find on the other side of the portal. That was where her e-reader came in. She could call up information on any mythological creature the group came across in seconds. Granted, if the creature was hostile, the security team would still end up wasting some ammunition before she told them the thing was impervious to their weapons, but it was still way faster than digging through a book. Unless, of course, it was a creature she already knew about, then she could prevent the expenditure of several more rounds of ammo. Either way, she was anxious to get going. She wanted to see some of these monsters that she had only ever read about before.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">And there was the familiar silence that followed after Arlet entered a room. or introduced herself. People always felt awkward or tense around her. She didn't mind much it came with the job but having it occur constantly was a nuisance. But that was not important and would do nothing to help with the mission. She trusted humans to do one thing well....be humans. That meant she trust them to tell the truth, to lie, to betray, or befriend. This crew was no different, she would take a bullet for any of them and place two in each of their skulls at a moments notice it called for it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Arlet look at the accident without emotion, never saying a word, just watching. Margaret, was a problem, plain and simple. Her abilities didn't matter, what mattered was that she had the vision of a mole rat. This mission was sure to be filled with mortal danger and medical aid or not she was a legally blind civilian who could barely keep her tools in their cases. Arlet did not hate the woman in the least but she was far from pity. A person like this should know their limitations. Her scares were nothing to Arlet just markings from an accident that the young Dr. Margaret had. Arlet moved towards the gate and triple checked her sniper rifle in her typical custom. She then climbed a rock nearby and waited for everyone to situate themselves for departure.<br>
<br>
<br>
Derrick starred at Arlet for a moment. She was young but she was also really tiny! The girl was probably a tiny knot of muscle and bone. So when she climbed the rock, she looked like a small child at play. He smirked. This group was good, this would work. He clapped his hands. "Well once our resident doctor has gathered her little vial friends we can be off." He had heard about Margarets scarring from the mission briefing he and Arlet had received, leaders do need to know their people. Seeing it was different to be sure but Derrick figured that if Margaret wanted to come he would, give her the respect anyone else deserved. Besides she wasn't hideous by any means, she just seemed to have a bit of facial rearrangement.<br>
<br>
<br>
Gabby 'felt' the information flow inside. "No problem at all Allnut, just inform me whenever you need access, I don't want to try and infect again. And again thank you for the transfer intel. Derrick I do believe we should be ready. Just a moment..." Near the gates entrance the air began to ripple until it seemed like pool of water, floating in the atmosphere. "The gate is now open and ready for entry everyone." Gabby spoke from the the watch.<br>
<br>
<br>
At Gabby's words, Arlet clicked back the chamber to her rifle and armed it.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Chris shared a lot of the sentiments regarding Margaret as many of his team members did. She had clearly tripped and while that could happen to anyone, her obvious facial scarring pointed to her eyes being the cause. He didn't doubt that she was a brilliant doctor but immediately he felt a pang of an emotion somewhere between jealousy and irritation. Even if Dr. Thompson was a certified medical genius, her place should not have been here. He was near the top of his field and had published many important papers and advanced his area of study. He had earned his place. He wasn't built like a tank like Victor or compact muscle like Arlet but he knew that he wouldn't get killed by the first creature that crossed their path. They only knew one fact with complete certainty: the monsters that came from this world were undeniably dangerous. The Charybdis had sucked in a great number of ships before being killed but the dragon from Shanghai had been downright fearsome and had killed thousands. She was going to get in the way. That much was obvious.<br>
<br>
<br>
He was going to have to let her though. He wouldn't be opposed to the idea of proposing to leave her here where she belonged if it wouldn't paint him a negative light. He couldn't start out an important expedition like this by being perceived as the 'weak link' because speaking his mind had led him to look like an asshole that would give up the members of their team easily. Let her make her mistakes as she will likely do and let the group deal with its cancer. He just hoped that nobody in the crew would put themselves into harms way to help save her from her likely death. He eyed Victor contemptuously as he blatantly flirted with her. Chris was certain that the girl would die, but he hoped that when the time came that Victor would let her.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Ah, that's nothing." Victor said after hearing Margaret's words. Clearly she thought that she wasn't beautiful when undoubtedly she was. It was too bad, he had a soft spot for confident women, "You realize that I'm military right? I see worse things before breakfast. Heck, before I wake up if I have a nightmare about my ex-wife." he laughed.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Just think of them as battle scars. They make you that much more interesting than the other people around you." he said and when she took the vials out of his outstretched hand he brought it to her face and gently brushed the scarred tissue with his thumb taking care not to hurt her with his calloused fingers if the tissues were still sensitive.<br>
<br>
<br>
He was distracted by Gabby and the official opening of the gates. He couldn't see the infamous technician, Mr. Allnut, who worked with monitoring the gate and tracking disturbances that opened both worlds to each other, but he knew that it was the man's doing. Harold had been employed too late for the infamous Shanghai attack but he had identified and tagged a Basilisk that had been tracked and killed before it had been able to cause too much damage. The man was a genius.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'll see you on the other side, sweetie. I expect to hear the story about how you got those scars." Victor said winking to her and he took the position that Arlet had told him to at the head of the group. He turned back to the group before blowing the group a dramatic kiss and spreading his arms and leaning backwards.<br>
<br>
<br>
Watching Victor fall was almost like watching a tower topple over... Tiffany supposed that it was Victor's fault for bringing his resemblance to a brick house into her mind. But unlike as a tower fell, when he fell the edges of his body seemed to melt away and suddenly he was gone. It almost looked like he had been swallowed by blue silk. He was gone. She felt her first real shiver of dread crawl up her spine. Right now, none of them could know where the man had gone. He no longer even existed on Earth. For all they knew they had just killed him. The thought unnerved her and her body's response seemed to be to hiccup. At least she wasn't crying. Considering that Chris always seemed to wear a stupid slightly smug expression, she revelled in his paleness using the reactions of her team members to distract herself from her blinding terror. She hiccuped again and wished that someone would start crying. She didn't care to see anyone bawl like a baby, but it would have made her feel astoundingly brave in comparison.<br>
<br>
<br>
But nobody did before it was her turn. Chris hopped through the gates into the swirling blue mass in the same way that he might jump into the pool and he vanished too. She unfortunately staggered into it awkwardly as if she were the long-lost cousin to Frankenstein's monster... the book monster, always the monster from the book - books were just always better. At least she could feel confident that Frankenstein's monster wouldn't exist in this other world... though that might not have been a bad thing, the monster had been quite peaceful before he had begun to go mad from loneliness.<br>
<br>
<br>
But her half-formed thoughts didn't last long before she slipped off of Earth. For the next long minutes she couldn't make sense of anything. Everything was just a disorientating blur of colour and movement before the breath was knocked out of her lungs as she was practically slammed into the trunk of a tree. She remained where she had fallen for several long moments as she gasped for air. Eventually, the pain subsided and she was able to pull herself back up to her feet. Once she was on her feet, she considered her surroundings for the first time and she lost her breath again.<br>
<br>
<br>
It looked as if she had been dropped in the middle of a lush forest yet it was much more overwhelming than that. It felt as if the very air was filled with an indescribable but ancient magic. She glanced around at the thick emerald fronds and vividly coloured flowers and the thick red trunks of crowded trees that rose up unimaginably high into the sky. She spent an unknown amount of time staring at her surroundings before she felt a small jab of fear as she realized that she stood where she was, alone. With that thought, the forest that had only just awed her moments ago felt different. The trees now seemed to be so thick that they seemed to be pressing closer to her than they had been only moments ago. It didn't help that the sky was completely obscured by the thick plants of this ancient forest.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Hello?" she called out. The forest seemed to swallow her voice so that her yell instead sounded like a whisper. The thick silence pressed against her when she distantly heard Victor shout back. She scrambled through the maze of trees feeling more paranoid with each step that it was some ancient echo in the forest until she managed to find him. He was crouched next to Chris who looked as if he had been hit by a bus. He was clutching a water bottle tightly and his head was bandaged, she guessed by Victor, and she noted uneasily that there was a fine misting of crimson along a tree trunk. She hoped it wasn't a concussion or anything else serious.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Did you hit a tree too?" she asked Victor.<br>
<br>
<br>
"No." he said and his answer was so surprising to her that she actually laughed out loud.<br>
<br>
<br>
"That's so unfair. This forest is so dense that it's almost impossible not to land in or around a tree and figures that the man who's built like a tank comes out unscathed." she complained lightly.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Has anyone else come through?" Chris asked twisting the cap back onto his water bottle. He looked as if he was about to try standing up and then seemed to decide against it.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Not that I know of. Hopefully yours is the roughest landing Winters, you could stand to lose a few IQ points to a tree more than most people."<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Derrick walked in with his case in tow behind him. Once he entered the gate. He felt mercurial, ever molecule moving in and out constantly flowing. This was both interesting and bad. It meant there had to be a reason their molecules had to interact in such a way but he would have t study that later. As he finally emerged, he learned something rather fast...gravity tends to follow you places. He dropped immediately and came into contact with his first friend, the tree branch. As the wind was forced out of his body he tumble from the large tree on to the moist forest floor. Also he was starting to feel a little light headed which meant....<br>
<br>
<br>
Gabby quickly checked his vitals and found nothing seriously wrong. "Checking....okay the atmosphere will support the crew Derrick, however, I should warn you that the air has a high concentrations of oxygen, over 35% and this is only with my limited range, once you have setup a piece of the network, I am most certain that the amount will increase in areas."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Good to know Gabby, ugh, I need to do more crunches...the pain, it hurts so good." He stood up and fell back down. His body making the decisions at the moment Derrick decided to take a look around. A some what dense forest, with huge trees, the flora looked similar to Earth's but at the same time it was very foreign. He looked around some more until he found Victor, Tiffany and Chris a few feet away. He waved and started to call to them. "Talley-hoo....oly crap!!" Her landing soft, he could barely hear it. Yet there she was, the mini spec op herself.<br>
<br>
<br>
Upon entry Arlet started to fall and luckily found a tree, she tucked in her limbs and made contact with the trunk. She began to roll down and she out stretched a hand to grab the nearest limb using her momentum to swing forward and slam into another tree at lower elevation. Hitting the tree in that manner hurt but pain was not new to Arlet and it was better than breaking a limb or two from a straight descent. Once her feet hit the ground she rolled back wards and then quickly got into a crouched position scanning every inch of the area. She didn't have a problem remaining focused, she has had several 'drop' missions so re-adjusting after accelerated movement came naturally. She noticed a few things quickly. It had just recently rained, the trees were huge and the air was very rich. They all had seemed to land within a few yards of one another. What bothered her the most was that there was an absence of fauna......no insects, no mammals, no avian creature of any kind.  She spotted Victor with Chris, it seemed the doctor had a slight injury. Derrick happened to be next to her, which was good. She spoke to Victor. "Robson once you have tended to Chris, weapons up and eyes out, we hold the position until DeMarco has come to the rendezvous point." She stayed one knee and set up her sniper rifle for quick shots.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Margaret had a very gnawing feeling that a lot of people were not happy with the idea of her being there and as much as she really wanted to try and get along with everyone (aside from Victor who was interested in her from what she gathered in their very brief encounter), she really didn't care about their personal vendettas against her. She was there for a job: to ensure the health and safety of everyone on the team and little did they know, she can certainly handle herself. But for that one moment, Margaret smiled a little to Victor's attempt to lighten the mood, giggling softly at his joke about his ex-wife and nodded. "I can only imagine..." she agreed before her attention shifted to the soft touching on her scars, a deep blush rushing to her cheeks at realizing Victor was the one touching her face, looking at his clear face in soft innocent surprise.<br>
<br>
<br>
But the moment came to a quick halt at the gates being opened, the heavy groan of metal echoing in the camp as she heard Victor say a soft goodbye and his expectation to hear her story of how she got the scars around her eyes. Quickly standing up after his lead, Margaret started to walk towards the edge as well, gasping to seeing Victor fall off the side and disappear into the blue mists of the rift, looking around curiously for any site of him. Nothing...there was nothing to show he was still there. She paced a little at the edge of the cliff and sighed, thinking she would find something.<br>
<br>
<br>
It wasn't long before she watched Chris, Tiffany, Derrick and Gabby, and Arlet finally fell through the tear as well, leaving Hector to walk up towards Margaret and gently rubbed her back. "Hey, bonita, I think it's our turn," the artist encouraged her and moved his hand to hers, which she held instinctively. "Don't let their negative thoughts hinder you, bonita. You are too smart for that," he chimed with a wink before Margaret smiled a little and nodded. "Let's go together, hm?" Margaret felt Hector pull a little at her hand to help her to the edge as they looked down at the large blue hole. "On three. One...two...three," counted down Hector before both he and Margaret fell through the hole with their bags in tow. Margaret and Hector felt as if all of the air escaped their lungs, floating in this endless fall where all of the energy rushed right through them. They could both feel something flowing right through them, almost as if every particle in that rift shot straight through their bodies to the other side. Before they realized it, they passed through to the other world...<br>
<br>
<br>
Hector and Margaret both landed in a small pond with a grunt, landing on their feet before staggering a little on the rocks on the pond's floor and grunted, standing upright without a scratch but some wet pants. Hector assisted Margaret out of the water as they both shook their legs clear of any excess water. Though their pants were soaked to the bone, they emerged unharmed and could find no one close by. "I wonder where they went..." sighed Hector, wringing out some of the water from his pant leg before Margaret shushed him softly. Her head turned a little to the side, her ears perked to the sound of shouting in the distance. "This way," she instructed softly, beginning to trek over to the rest of the group that made it through the rift, the voices growing louder with each step. It was not too long before Hector peeked over a hill and waved his hands to the group. "Hey!" he called out, tailing behind Margaret as she scaled down the hill and started to walk towards the others, noticing Chris on the ground and knelt down to examine his wound. "Let me see that..." she said gently, starting to carefully examine the virologist's head.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"I have a Ph.d. in microbiology. I'm a doctor too." Chris snapped moodily. This was not the attention that he liked to have upon himself so he couldn't help but to feel a little defensive. The last thing he wanted to project was that he was weak or needed to be fawned over like a helpless calf all because his skull happened to unpleasantly get in the path of a tree on his trip in. Robson had found him promptly and the man had made a wisecrack before examining the wound and telling him in minute detail how the wound looked. If Victor hadn't been lying then it seemed to be not much more than an abrasion. Robson wasn't the type to be worried if it were serious, but so far he was the only member of the team that Chris didn't mind and had a decent amount of trust in.  That being said, he thought he supposed that he would probably get along well with Arlet if they had the opportunity to talk as he appreciated the way that she commanded the situation. He may have liked Robson, but he knew that the man needed to be kept in check. He was a good soldier, but he had a tendency to lose focus or attention on the seriousness of the mission at hand. Victor's coolness towards the woman was fairly obvious, probably for the aforementioned reason.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'll let you know if I see signs of infection or if I show signs of a concussion, but I'd rather not undo all of these bandages for no real reason. Sorry if I sound callous, but I saw no need to waste anyone's time here."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Too bad that hit didn't knock that stick out into a place where the sun actually might shine." Victor teased lightly as he pulled his weapon out as per Arlet's command. It was clear that there was nothing in this forest (as evidenced by even the surprising lack of insects) so he hadn't thought to ready himself but the facts hadn't quite set in yet.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yes, ma'am." he barked giving a quick check for damage to his gun before flipping the safety off and sliding into position opposite Arlet. The full gravity of the situation had hit him so hard and the bare facts almost made him laugh out loud though he held back his laughter, it probably would have had a sharp slightly demented edge to it anyways. It was astonishing to finally realize that he wasn't even on Earth anymore. The fact that he could joke and be unarmed was a luxury for forests like this one back on Earth, but who knows what hidden creatures might be lurking just around the next tree. He wasn't even on Earth! What a concept!<br>
<br>
<br>
Chris took a deep gulp of water before slinging the backpack off of his shoulders. He withdrew a pair of gloves and a small plastic container just larger than his index finger and after putting on the gloves he capped the water bottle and tossed it into the backpack. He put the backpack on and then focused his eyes on Margaret as he rose to his feet. He thankfully didn't feel any signs to indicate a concussion so he felt like she got the point from his glare, if she could see it of course. Her presence and the presence of the artist were insulting. A nearly-blind woman and a man who would paint and write things. They had no place here. The artist had not earned his place and was not vital, and the doctor's sight was sure to make her a liability.<br>
<br>
<br>
He pushed aside his irritation as he edge towards the tree he had been eyeing for some time. He squatted at the base of the tree and eased a small sample of soil into the small container. He couldn't help but to wonder if the small soil sample, which marked the beginning of his collection, would be the start of something more. The forest was brimming with potential medicinal ingredients, and therefore potential cures. Chris felt like he had not brought enough containers and he knew already that he was short on the appropriate equipment. He could always bring what he felt was important back to Earth with him when their time was up. He was grateful that Gabby seemed to be more capable than her creator, Derrick, who seemed to somehow be more grating than Robson could be.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Tres was the last civilian to go through the portal. Before entering, she gave Alexander a nod and her usual mock-salute. She stepped through the threshold and immediately felt what she would later describe as one of the coolest things she’d ever felt. It felt as if energy was flowing through her. Technically, there was always energy flowing through everything, even people, but unlike so-called dark energy, this energy felt tangible. It wasn’t long before Tres exited the portal. When she did, she felt gravity take hold of her, and since she wasn’t expecting it, she gave a yelp as she hurriedly braced herself.<br>
<br>
<br>
Before she knew it, her feet hit the ground roughly, and the weight of her backpack pulled her backward until she she had an undignified meeting between her butt and the ground. After she got her bearings, she stood up, wincing and rubbing her tailbone. She looked around, her face suddenly red, and gave a sigh of relief that no one had been around to see that. Her relief quickly turned to worry, though, as it hit her that nobody was there. She didn’t try to call out to them, and instead collected herself so that she could listen. Before too long, she heard faint sounds of rustling and possibly voices. She followed the sounds, stopping every so often to make sure she was going the right way, until she saw the group. She announced herself softly upon seeing that Arlet and Robson were armed and ready for whatever.<br>
<br>
<br>
Alexander was the last person to go through. He didn’t know what what to expect when coming out the other end, so he decided to just run at it and jump through. Worst-case, he’d land in front of everyone looking like a dork for jumping like that. Best case, his jump could prepare him for the possibility of the other end of this portal being in the air. Apparently, though, the laws of gravity seemed to be on hiatus in the...wormhole, for lack of a better term. The sensation of tangible energy flowing through him was quite interesting to Alexander. When he finally exited the portal, Alexander felt the laws of gravity and physics return, making him glad that he ran and jumped.<br>
<br>
<br>
Alexander flew through the air, seeing that he was coming up to a tree. He put his hands out to catch himself before the tree hit his chest at full force. He slid down the tree until his feet caught a branch. Going with his momentum, Alexander drew his body down into a crouch, stopping himself on the branch. He looked down to see how far from the ground he was. It looked to be about a few meters, and gravity seemed to be just as strong here as it was on Earth. Alexander smiled and shook his head as it hit home that he was not on Earth. This was definitely something to put in his journal. He didn’t dwell on it too much, as he still had to get down from the tree. He grabbed the branch with his hands and kicked off backward, letting his arms catch him. He dropped down the remaining meter, crouching down again to make sure he was balanced. Alexander got up and drew his rifle, flicking the selector switch off of safe mode and flicking open a heartbeat scanner he had attached. It showed a couple heartbeats twenty-odd meters away, at his 11 o’ clock. He headed in that direction, double-tapping his communications unit to alert Robson and Arlet to his arrival. When he could make out the camp, he saw Robson aiming in his general direction. When he figured Robson could see him, Alexander lowered his weapon and put his hands up to shoulder level in the universal “don’t shoot” gesture and said, “Friendly coming in.”</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Ignoring at first Chris's comment about being a doctor, Margaret's eyes narrowed in focus to examine more of the wound as she sighed from being badgered. "A doctor perhaps, but not the kind that knows how to take care of yourself," she said bluntly, still carefully moving some of the bandaging to examine the wound beneath before hearing Chris growing defensive and telling her to back off a little bit. She couldn't help but smile a little to Victor's comment coming to her defense before hearing him pull out his weapon and prepare to scan the area to make sure there were no unexpected, other-worldly surprises eagerly waiting for them in the deep woods.<br>
<br>
<br>
Watching Chris start to stand up on his own before grabbing his tools to start collecting samples of the flora nearby, Margaret heard Hector coming up behind her and rubbed her back to try and get her to relax. "Come on, Doctor, just relax. Look at all of these beautiful things around us. Trees without an end, rocks that have not been touched by human hands, and flowers that showed color schemes unseen on Earth. Enjoy it," he cooed at her, stroking her cheek before walking off to sit on one of the larger rocks, pulling out a small sketchbook with a graphite pencil and began to draw out the trees nearby, eager to document their first location in the new world.<br>
<br>
<br>
Putting her bags together to keep all of it in check, Margaret brushed her hands and started to walk a little towards one of the edges of the clearing they were settled in, tilting her head to the side as she leaned against one of the massive trees, a hand on the bark to feel the texture as her partially blind eyes looked out into the forest, wondering if she would be able to see anything in the distance. A new bird? A new plant? What could there be?</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Being a units primary sharpshooter and infiltrator gives you distinct advantages over many people one of them is sight. Arlet never thought of it that way of course. She had honed her skills to be used, that was it, the only advantage she wanted was one against her enemy. So when she saw the slow walking, bearded man wit a cane, she knew she had a few moments to react and inform the team. She spoke into radio, to her men first. He voice was calm and low as she lifted her rifle up to her eyes. "New arrival, approaching from the west, 30 meters off. Old, male, physical appearance give age of about 60-80 years of age. Withhold fire unless provoked, keep civilians behind you."<br>
<br>
<br>
Derrick noticed that Arlet's normally blank face, became less so in an instant, or at least her eyes. He wondered what made her go into attack mode. "Hey is everything alri-oomp!" Arlet's hand grabbed a fist full of his hair, and his face soon meet the moist ground. This little lady had muscles of steel! And she was hold him down with only one hand at that!<br>
<br>
<br>
Arlet spoke to him calmly but she still sound mechanical "My apologies, sir. But we have what seems to be a humanoid of some sort approaching, I request you refrain from speaking unless it is required." She then released her hand and steadied her rifle with it. The 'man' had come into vocal range. Arlet's body became relaxed, she was ready to fire at any moment. How could a man move 30 meters in seconds, when he required a cane for aid. She spoke in a calm loud voice so that the man could hear her. "If you can understand me please halt your movement and show me your hands."<br>
<br>
<br>
The old man stopped and took a moment but he raised his hands up in the air. And cracked a smile.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">For Tres, hearing about a hostile (potential in this case) approaching was really nothing new to her. She had been in combat zones with her brother more than a few times, and knew that when a soldier said to hit the deck, you hit the deck. She moved closer to the others and attempted to gather them all into a tight group. She wasn't exactly forceful, but she was no-nonsense about it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Alexander had been mingling a bit when Arlet's call came over the radio. He immediately flipped his soldier switch and brought his gun to bear in a split second. He may be sociable and appear to be laid back, but he was always scanning and always ready to do his job. He moved forward, gun up and steady, and off to Arlet's right. He figured he'd flank their new arrival so the guy couldn't try anything funny without someone noticing.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Victor readied his gun at Arlet's words though it took him several long tense seconds for him to spot what Arlet had noticed. It was simply an old man, he looked a little odd with a long flowing robe the colour of mud and a gnarled wooden cane in hand, but there was nothing to suggest that this man was a threat. Still despite that, his finger was still poised just above the trigger. He couldn't help but to think of a wizard and he wondered for the first time if maybe they hadn't thought this expedition through carefully enough. He was armed to the teeth and had a special knack for making weapons out of nearby objects but what if that proved to be useless? He supposed he would just have to take his chances that a bullet would be effective against the old man if he proved to be hostile.<br>

<br>
Chris watched the man balefully noting with an unexpected surge of relief as those who were trained to do so slid into an unspoken smooth formation converging around the man or moving in for protection. It was good for him to see even Victor moving automatically into position ignoring his obvious flirtatious relationship with Margaret to perform his job. Despite never having worked together before, the three trained and armed professionals had a strange and remarkable synchronicity to them that he might not have suspected that they would.<br>
<br>
<br>
Winters watched the scene before him with a bizarre sense of detachment as Alexander moved to flank the old man who had made no movements since being spotted. He waited anxiously to see how events would play out and to see who would make their move first or whether or not this would be a hostile first interaction with the inhabitants of the new world. He expected to see the old man move first followed promptly by the military personnel after they quickly assessed the old man's intent but beside him Tiffany stiffened beside him and she stared off into the forest in the opposite direction of the old man.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Lindsay?" she asked in a small voice. But her reaction didn't match her meek tone. Just mere seconds after whispering the name she seemed to make a snap decision and she bolted away from the group.<br>
<br>
<br>
"What are you doing?!" Chris shouted after her and Victor jerked his gaze away from the old man to watch as the archaeologist slipped between the trees and out of sight. It only took an instant to register that she had left but when he turned his gaze back the old man was gone. A soft chuckle whispered between the trees as the last lingering reminder to prove that the man had indeed been there once.<br>
<br>
<br>
Victor held his position waiting for Arlet's command though he took the liberty to loose a string of colourful curse words. What was Bowden thinking?! They didn't know anything about this land other than the small area that they had stomped around in. Why would she run from them and into what they didn't know? He cursed again and shouldered his weapon. Screw Arlet's command. She would probably realize that the old man was gone so finding their missing team member now would likely take priority.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I swear I will shoot anyone who runs off into the forest for no reason whatsoever." he snapped angrily stomping back towards the rest of the group.<br>
<br>
<br>
"HELP!" Tiffany shouted distantly.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Arlet never moved during all the commotion. She held her gun in the same spot that the old man was located and still had her hand on the trigger She took note of everything but wasting energy was not her strong suit. When saw Tiffany bolt off away from the group she took note of Victor's rage. That would be addressed later but for now they had other priorities. She spoke calmly into the headset again "Positions are to be held, we do not break from our marks. Take note everyone that this occurred after the elderly gentleman moved. Your orders still stand hold fire until hostile force is seen. Tiffany is not an athlete and will not get too far for us to track her." She then looked at Derrick who seemed less surprised and more intrigued at the events. "Gabbey, I would like to have a reading of lifeforms in the area if possible."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Already in progress, Captain." Gabby appreciated how SHE was addressed. Derrick was a brilliant man, but people seemed to believe that HE did everything and she didn't. It was refreshing to be placed on equal terms once in awhile. "I have picked up Ms. Bowden's bio-readings, she is not far off and seems to be under duress. Her body is producing all the signs of stress but their doesn't seem to be any outside stimuli that are producing this. Though that doesn't mean there aren't any stimuli, just none on a biological scale. Though I must say it seems that elderly man gave off a reading that was similar to a tree....odd."<br>
<br>
<br>
Derrick watched the events unfold and also felt the need to join Victor but after hearing Arlet's command he thought better of it. Instead he did what he did best, he start to screw with things that he probably shouldn't, well that and tinkering but he came out the womb doing the first one. He slowly stood up letting Arlet see that he had a 'plan' if you could call it that. He raised his hands slowly, whatever was out there did this to Tiffany but it didn't try and kill them...not yet. So he figured why not strike up a conversation. "Hello? Sir? Um...Hola senor?.....Hallo, gibt kumpel? Dude, I can continue on in different languages but seeing as your not from my realm let's just assume English works, hmm? We don't wait to harm you but it would be great if you brought our companion back and maybe even reappear for some chit....maybe a little chat?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Alexander simply nodded in compliance to Arlet's orders to hold both position and fire until necessary. He had started to move as he heard Tiffany's yell, but held fast at Arlet's words. She was right. Chances were good that the archeologist wouldn't go far enough, unless of course the old man could do to her what he did to himself to make him disappear. There was nothing Alexander could do at the moment, so he waited. Until Derrick stood. Al watched the man intently and spoke over the comm to Arlet. "Ma'am, what do you want to do here?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Tres had just joined the others when she heard Tiffany yell. She wanted to go help, but when none of the security personnel moved, she decided against it. She knew Alexander well enough that she trusted his judgement, and it seemed that he trusted Ms. Arlet's judgement. She started to get a bit nervous, and when Gabby had found Tiffany and started reading off her bio-signs, She got a little more nervous. Not enough to freak out, it took quite a bit to freak her out, but it was still uncomfortable. When Derrick decided to stand up and offer a bit of diplomacy, Tres almost grabbed him, but thought better of it. Instead, she waited to see what the security team would do.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Still staring off into the woods curiously, Margaret did not pay much attention at first to the movement of the rest of the team both setting up a perimeter to make sure the area was secure as well as the others that were coming through the Rift to the other side. But hearing the others start to mention that there was movement, Margaret spun around to see in the far distance a figure that was separate from their group. The person was a little blurred, Margaret only able to make out some older features and something being held in his hand and that was it. His face looked like a watercolor painting, the lines smeared and the features not distinct with her affected vision. Moving a little closer to the center of the open area towards the others, Margaret tilted her head curiously. He was just standing there...motionless as the others of the team were moving around to try and figure out just who this person was.<br>
<br>
<br>
Margaret blinked to the sound of Tiffany saying something like a name. A name of who? Certainly wasn't one of the names of someone on the team but that is a different matter. But she gasped to hearing grass crunch under someone's feet, turning around to see Tiffany herself bolting out into the woods without looking back. "Tiffany stop! Where are you going?!" called out Margaret, starting to run a little herself before stopping right in place, remembering that they needed to stay with the group and not go dashing off on their own. She tensed to the sound of a chuckle in the distance, looking around quickly in circles to try and locate the origin of the sound, turning up with nothing.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hearing Tiffany shouting out in the distance, Margaret turned back to the rest of the group. "We can't just leave her there. We have to go grab her! The whole team doesn't have to go. What if Victor, Chris, and myself went to go find Tiffany and bring her back here? She could be hurt," offered Margaret.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Victor tensely moved back into position realizing that he had made a mistake by abandoning Arlet's command. A small part of him could see the reason in holding their ranks in case the old man returned in a violent manner but at the same time he thought that she wasn't being flexible enough. The old man hadn't done anything to them that would indicate that he was a threat unless you wanted to make the correlation between Tiffany's odd behaviour and his presence. While that wasn't an illogical assumption, it was still an assumption. The only concrete thing they knew was that one of their team had disappeared into the trees and into the unknown.<br>
<br>
<br>
"She can't get far obviously, but she doesn't need to.  She's screaming for help and Gabby says she's under duress... I see that as signs that we should try to help her." he explained. Margaret suggested a small group be formed and he internally cringed at her suggestion though his face remained neutral. Arlet would never agree to that suggestion.<br>
<br>
<br>
He swallowed heavily. He was probably going to kick himself for what he was going to do next, but that wouldn't be the first time after making an impulsive decision. He didn't particularly like the possibility that within ten minutes of entering the new world that a team member could be killed. They didn't know what was out there and for all anyone knew Tiffany was dying right now. He would prefer to make assumptions about the group and their health rather than upon the intentions of a mysterious man.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm going." he said harshly. The words tasted sour, "I understand that's not within my authority so I guess I'm going rogue. Consider this my early retirement." Ironic because when he got back he most certainly would not be receiving his pension. Oh well, it was done. He had burned that bridge and he would have to deal with the consequences of his choice later. Right now he had a missing team member to find instead of waiting for an old man that might not show himself again or even be dangerous. Human life should take priority over protocol and it was too bad he had been under someone too by the books and rigid to realize this.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'll be happy to revisit my contract when you're done hunting ghosts," he complained.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm not going," Chris snapped realizing that Margaret's suggestion was becoming a reality. Arlet was able to think subjectively and put aside the needs of individuals to assess the needs of the group. Victor may not agree, but Arlet was exactly the kind of leader that they needed.<br>
<br>
<br>
Victor wasn't surprised at Chris's refusal. He wouldn't ask Alexander to join not willing to make the man make the choice and sacrifice that he had. He also decided to skip Derek because he would be Arlet's priority and he didn't want to cause more conflict with the woman than he had already surely caused. He had already accepted Margaret as part of his group despite how her sight might make her into a liability so he passed on asking Hector who wouldn't bring him much skill.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Gabby, would you want to come with us? Tres?" he asked extending his invitation to them.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Arlet saw the chaos unfold before her, this typically happened with new recruits. A bad situation occurs and they allow their animal impulses to take over, very useful if fighting an equally feral opponent or even when attempting to frighten a smarter one but this was not the case for them. Arlet let out an almost mournful sigh and steadied her breathing as she prepared to fire on Victor. 10 minutes into exploration and he had already become a cancerous tumor in need of removal. Then she heard her instructors voice echo in her head. She lowered the rifle. Shooting Victor wouldn't solve anything, not at the moment anyway. The units chaotic behavior was a mild hindrance so Arlet decided to allow Victor his child-like tantrum. "Victor, you have been given permission, however your retirement will wait, if you feel the need to be duty bound for this retrieval for someone under my command than you will remain a soldier under my command and receive your punishment upon your return. You and you alone will go and retrieve Ms. Bowden. Civilians will not follow you until we are out of combat." She made sure to keep her voice level and assess the rest  of their situation. "Alexander move your mark towards my location and then escort all other civilian units to my location as well." She then looked at Derrick. "Gabriella if your willing and capable would you accompany Officer Robson?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Gabby's first response, at least in her head, was no. This Victor was insane, she could easily keep track of Tiffany from here, yet he is running off into the unknown to pursue a person under some kind of mental influence. She did not want any of them to die but she did not want crazy people infecting the group with panic either, no wonder this guy never moved up in the ranks. But she thought better of it. She basically could not die from conventional means and could move around much easier than her human counterparts. "Yes, Captain Lancaster, I can do that." She then activated one of her 'orbs' small, metal computers shaped like a baseball. They were designed by Derrick and carried some of her operating systems inside. This one was designed for low altitude flight and pulled in air from to small holes at the top, heated the air inside and expelled it from the bottom allowing the unit to stay afloat. "I can already communicate with the units technology but this will allow me to give visual assistants to Officer Robson." With that she flew off and soon caught up with Officer Robson.<br>
<br>
<br>
Well, this was new for Derrick for once he was not the one doing the crazy stuff. After hearing what everyone said and their actions he knew that moving would only complicate matters. As Gabby raced of Derrick decided to make himself useful, he was the leader after all, and escort Chris, who he seemed to be closer to. He removed his pistol from its holster and walked slowly toward him, trying to hold it steady and look around. Hold did the military guys do this so easily? Once he got next to Chris. He spoke in a whisper. "So what do you make of all of this? Old guy comes in, laughs and then leaves. Shortly, afterwards Tiffany snaps. Everyone can tell that its him but what do we do about it? Not the Tiffany part. But rather the old man, if he can do it to her why not all of us? Perhaps he can and is toying with us, just wants us to free one and then he zaps another?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It was almost comical, the way that Derrick stalked around him with the gun, but he ignored that. Chris pursed his lips. He had been thinking about the situation honestly and he had managed to draw a few conclusions, "We all heard her before she went off... she said a name. It's not anyone here on the crew so it must be someone that means a lot to her. It must have sounded realistic enough for her not to realize that there is no way that that person could be here.<br>
<br>
<br>
"That must mean that it can replicate and produce sounds. It's illogical but let's assume that every noise that we haven't seen is produced by that thing, a type of mimicry, then what if it had tried to lure us out with Tiffany's cry for help? It clearly worked on Victor, who is now separated from us. It probably wouldn't take much more to split us apart. I can understand its mimicry but I'm struggling with its motives. It clearly must view us a threat, the way it seems to have been trying to pull us apart. But that also might mean that it knows its weaker than us when we're together. Divide and conquer, classic, right?<br>
<br>
<br>
"Okay, but if that's true, why? We haven't shown ourselves to be hostile so that doesn't make much sense. Maybe the previous groups had gone through and shown destructive tendencies that would make our group viewed as dangerous. Possibly. Maybe it's just terrified by the presence of something new or foreign in its forest... or maybe it isn't motivated by fear of us. But if fear isn't its motivation... then what would be?  Why would it want to tear us apart if not to harm us?  Gabby's last monitor showed that Tiffany wasn't in physical distress... I just don't get it.  If I didn't know better, I would say that it was just doing all of this for fun. Just because it can... but that's not a realistic motivation is it?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Their radios crackled and it was Victor, "Fatality found." he said mournfully, "Returning t-" a strange inhuman sound echoed through the radio and then it went silent.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Derrick raised an eyebrow at how much Chris was rambling. Not that non of it made any sense, in fact he agreed with Chris' theories to a point. It was just fascinating that Chris seemed to be one of those intellect that said everything out loud as he calculated, that and it seemed Chris was talking more to himself than to Derrick. He gave the man a light slap on the back and chuckled a bit to himself "Chris...you don't read fantasy books due you? Everything you said is perfectly reasonable if you consider that this isn't Earth or at least not in the way we are accustomed to Earth. This creature reminds me of a lesser fae. I don't see it as a threat either but it is clearly a trickster. Regardless, I don't think we have much to fear from it as long as we remain harmless to it." He said the last part as he looked at his gun and placed it back in the holster. He then eyed the Captain. He decided to shout a little to her what him and Chris had theorized. "Captain Lancaster, perhaps we should try removing weapons from this situation? The creature in question seems to have the turf advantage and I don't think it aims to...." Derrick's sentence was cut short as he heard the news from Gabby over his watch. He stopped and waited for Arlet's response his eyes taking on a somber look. Could she have died already? Why remove her from the scene to kill her? This would be typical predator behavior but did this thing eat humanoids or just slayed them for entertainment. Regardless, it went through a lot of effort to trick them for that kill. Worse still was that they have possibly lost a crew member already, and Derrick did no take losing his people lightly.<br>
<br>
<br>
When Arlet heard the news about Tiffany's fate, she let out a slow sigh and shoulder her rifle. She then stood up and spoke in a tired tone. "Confirmed, Officer, remain with the body, we will meet in you soon." She slide down the small slope that she was positioned on and meet with Derrick and Chris. "We are to gather everyone and move to Officer Robson's location. Keep your weapons ready and remain within site of each other, the large amount of vegetation will make it difficult to see at certain points." Arlet then considered Derrick's words. "We shall keep weapons lowered but ready, I also do not want to fight with any life forms if possible but after recent events we cannot be careless either." With that she took he sidearm pistol and a combat knife, however they were not placed at the ready but held near her sides. She began walking ahead scanning the area for the group to follow.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Tres was looking through a book to find anything that might resemble this creature's behavior. She absentmindedly shook her head when asked to look for Tiffany. She wasn't a combatant or a tracker and doubted that she'd be of any help. Ah, here it was. As Derrick mentioned his lesser fea theory, she found an entry on fairies. This creature certainly seemed to act like the more malicious of the race, but until she could get a better understanding of it, Tres decided not to mention it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Alexander nodded in acknowledgement of Arlet's orders and began rounding up the civilians. Tres didn't need any prodding, but it was clear that some people did. As Arlet joined the party, Alexander noted the change in weaponry. He elected not to change, but he'd follow her lead and lowered his own rifle. Hopefully, this creature would not see them as a threat. They didn't need another casualty.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Margaret watched Victor and Gabby start to file out from the opening into the woods, beginning their search for Tiffany deep in the midsts of the massive trees that trumped any Redwood back on Earth. She frowned to not being allowed to go with them to try and look for Tiffany, just to see if she was alright given her stress levels were read to be high. Something was happening to Tiffany and as much as Margaret wanted to dash out there to aid her, she knew too well she would likely be shot on site...if not by Arlet, then <i>certainly </i>by Chris. She knew he hated her being there most of all.<br>
<br>
<br>
Starting to walk back towards the others and sat down on a rock next to Hector, Margaret's ears perked at the sound of static over the radio, quickly standing up to rush towards Arlet, leaning her head in to try and listen to whatever was going to come out. She gasped a little to hear Victor's voice, a lump in her throat at learning he found a body before his voice cut out, jumping at the inhuman sound that emerged from the other end of the radios, looking up to the commander seriously. "Should we go after them?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><i>"Confirmed, Officer, remain with the body, we will meet with you soon." </i>Arlet's voice sounded through his radio and Victor glanced at the radio with a bewildered expression.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Did I hear that right?" he asked Gabby pursing his lips into a frown.  What body?  He glanced at Gabby's intel which monitored Tiffany's location and wondered if maybe Arlet had found Tiffany before they had somehow despite how she expressed no interest in finding their teammate.<br>
<br>
<br>
He pulled the radio from his waist and held it in his hands for a minute as he tried to interpret Arlet's radio message.  Was it possible that the message was meant for Alexander?  He couldn't imagine why she would address Alexander using <i>his</i> title though, given how professional and meticulous Arlet was... or why he had received Arlet's message and not Alexander's in this case.  The whole situation was perplexing because he had most certainly not found a body let alone used his radio. While he was approaching the area where Tiffany seemed to be, he had not found any body... which is what it sounded like Arlet had heard from him, but how? He quickly reviewed what he had been talking about with Gabby, had the radio transmitted something out of context? Victor wiped the beads of sweat that were beginning to form along his brow from the humid environment and decided that it was worth his time to at least check on this radio call.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Clarification needed. We are following Tiffany's signal but no contact has been made with her." he said into the radio feeling a little uneasy from what the situation seemed to look like.</div>
