[Flash_Guardian] If Devaine's office has a buzzer or doorbell, it buzzes or rings. Otherwise, Devaine hears a metallic sort of knocking.

Devaine_Hawk glances over to a seat in the corner where he told Flash to sit , hoping he’s still there “never let two women talk for more than five minutes , they compare notes , and think up things to lecture you on “

Devaine_Hawk walks to a row of camera scenes on a wall ,and checks the office to see who knocked on the secret panel door to his office

Flash_Guardian was looking around the room from his seat in the chair. As Devaine speaks, he seems to listen intently, but makes no other reaction. Devaine sees in one of the monitors that the Drone is hovering just outside, waiting patiently.

Devaine_Hawk presses a button , turning the innercomm on , “what is it ,Lydia ?””

Flash_Guardian leans forward in his chair and peers at the secret lab door, curious.

Devaine_Hawk mumbles to himself , and opens the door , glaring at the drone , here to spy on me for Glyniss some more ?”

[Flash_Guardian] The drone buzzes in annoyance at Devaine as the door to the lab opens, but floats inside quickly, stopping just over one of the many tables in the room to look back at him. Flash watches the drone interestedly.

Devaine_Hawk walks back to the bench where he was working , “right back at ya sister “ he mutters under his breath

[Flash_Guardian] The drone emits series of low, long tones, then hovers over to a different table, one that probably still has several parts from the Triad spread over it or still in crates, and begins searching through them all.

Devaine_Hawk looks down at the partially assembled futuristic weapon on the table “ now I just need to attach a spectrum ban analyzer , and a modulator so I can adjust the molecular frequency setting for the energy beams , to effect various types of fields and effects “ he thinks as he works on it .

[Flash_Guardian] Eventually, the drone finds a satisfactory group of parts, and begins to use some kind of greyish ripple beam to move all the pieces into order an a far side of the table. As it does this, Flash approaches and watches with eyes wide.

Devaine_Hawk reaches over for a small black square on the bench next to the rifle , and starts to wield it into place on the left hand side of the stock . The glow from the wielder reflects in his eyes ,mixing with the blue white flashes of his eyes

[Flash_Guardian] The drone hovers low over the pile of parts, several tool arms springing into motion as it begins to assemble something. Stretching, tightening, welding, hammering ... the drone works quickly to build some sort of assembly, a speaker with an electronic component.

Devaine_Hawk glances over to the drone “what are you doing there , can you bring me that portable solar power pack over there in the corner ?” he asks

Flash_Guardian glances back and forth between the sparks that dance from Devaine's and Lydia's creations, a smile of wonder breaking over his face. He reaches out to carefully touch the sparks coming from Lydia's welder ... There is a loud yelp as Flash cries out in pain, cradling his burned hand and moving quickly away. The drone stops welding abruptly and looks over at him with concern.

Devaine_Hawk glances over to Flash “stay in the chair , so you don’t hurt your self while I finish this , and I’ll take you upstairs to rest

Flash_Guardian seems to ignore Devaine's words, placing his fingers in his mouth, sucking on them and whimpering. The drone hovers over to him slowly, emitting a low sort of 'wooo' of questioning concern, trying to look at Flash's hand. Flash quickly shies away from the hovering drone, looking back at it fearfully.

Devaine_Hawk sighs nad gets up to walk across the room "some of us are trying to work Flash you can't be messing around , see what happens ?"

Flash_Guardian continues to nurse his injured hand. The drone just slumps in midair, slowly and dejectedly turning away to hover over to the far corner of the room to fetch the power pack Devaine requested.

Devaine_Hawk walks back to his work bench never knew a robot could pout , and sulk , he thinks as he sits back down , holding his hand out for the power generator .

[Flash_Guardian] The drone lifts the solar device with its tractor beam, then hovers over and drops it into Devaine's outstretched hand before returning to its own project.

Devaine_Hawk catches the part as it drops into his hand , and starts to weld it on to the right hand of the stock , behind the grip . He silt’s the welder aside , and looks around the work shop , searching for something , and a monitor catches his eye on the wall “here comes Glyniss “

Glyniss_McMasters pushes the door open to the room she had been in...limping over to the lift stepping in pressing the button requesting the level Dev's security office is on...and waits

Flash_Guardian happens to be cowering near the door to the lab, and also notices Glyniss in the monitor. He eyes the door's control panel with his burned hand in his mouth, trying and failing to decipher it. The drone just looks over at the monitor briefly before continuing to work.

Devaine_Hawk turns back to the weapon on the table , “should I add special sights , something for infra red , thermal , wonder if there’s some way for sights to scan astral signatures or auras for ethereal entities ?”

Glyniss_McMasters hums softly a light ditty obvoiusly very much refreshed and feeeling better since her rest.....as the lift's door opens she limps out the soft click of metal following her as usual...head turning slighty as she looks about the office room..." Wher' in tarnishio' is everyon'?"

Flash_Guardian risks operating the door's opening mechanism, be it a keypad, a simple lever, or what. As long as it's not too complicated, he manages to get the door open for Glyniss. More welding from the drone's table.

Devaine_Hawk reaches over to a control panel and opens the door to the lab , “in here , keep an eye on Flash so he doesn’t hurt himself while I finish up here “

Glyniss_McMasters rises a brow as she see's the door opening to the lab...limping over she leans against the dor frame glancing from one to the other ..." I he like' ter do tha'...? " glancing to where ever it appears he is..before looking back at them " So....wha' yer tw' up ter....?"

Flash_Guardian beams proudly at his own seeming cleverness, standing near the door and giving Glyniss a big smile like the two-year-old that just found out that the square peg goes in the square hole. The drone finishes welding, and picks up the odd electronic assembly gingerly with a hinged mechanical arm. It sees Glyniss, and beeps cheerily in greeting before hovering over to the monitor from the other day.

Devaine_Hawk points to Flash’s burnt hand where ever he has it now , in his mouth or otherwise “he tried to grab a welding torch, I’m working on Lucy “

Flash_Guardian clutches his burnt hand with his other one, hiding it protectively near his side.

Devaine_Hawk walks over to a weapon rack on the wall, and pulls down a SKR Dragon Fly sniper rifle , and detaches the 3500-IRTR sight from it before replacing it on the rack “this is a good sight , I’ll use it “

Glyniss_McMasters sses Lydia arm reaching up fingers taking the brim of her batered stetson lifting it up before slapping it back again..." Howdy Girli'" a brow rising at Dev before pushing herself away from the door frame turning and limping over to Flash...smiling at him.." Howdy ther'....let' loo' se' whatch' gon' don' ter yersel'..."

Devaine_Hawk snaps the sight into place on top of the futuristic weapon, and checks the dials and buttons to make sure it’s still calibrated , pointing the rifle at the ceiling , “just need a couple rare items and Lucy will be ready for our little demigod hunt”

Flash_Guardian merely stares at Glyniss, blinking in non-comprehension. The drone carefully sets the speaker assembly down on the medical table, its transmitter dish popping up out of its top and pointing to the monitor. Turning to look back at the others, it waits patiently and watches.

Glyniss_McMasters is persuming that one of them had at least seen to the burn

Devaine_Hawk stares off into space , eyes flashing with blue white sparks as he thinks

Glyniss_McMasters reaches out taking Flash's hand gently turning it over frowning as she examines the burn wound ..if allowed to....to find out the extent of the burn....severity etc

Flash_Guardian does not resists Glyniss, offering his hand to her. The tips of his fingers are speckled with tiny burns from the stream of sparks. The damage isn't too bad, nothing beyond first degree, but it probably didn't feel too good when it happened.

[Devaine_Hawk] “ now where the hell am I going to get two large rough uncut diamonds , one to focus the beam , and the other to act s a prism for the sight and band analyzer to act as a prism to catch the whole light wave spectrum , so that I can use the modulator to adjust for various frequencies and wave lengths for different targets ?“ he thinks .

[Glyniss_McMasters] "Gee' Flas' ho' yer d' thi'....bee' tryin' ter hel' Dev hav' yer...?" looking up at Flash as she begins to hum very very softly....the notes low...hanging in the air like a string of pearl drops before dissolving....her finger lightly moving over the burnt fingers...circling the burn groups...just a tracing of a touch over them..

Devaine_Hawk glance over to where Glyniss and Flash stand , “my fault should have been watching him closer , Lydia was working on her own project and he tried to grab her welder , sorry “

Kara McMasters brought the butt of the cigarette to her crimson lips as she took a hit from it blowing the exhaling the smoke from her nose. She stared in her rear view mirror for a moment smiling at herself. She was gorgeous, she was sweet and most of all, she was deadly. She would then place her sunglasses down onto the bridge of her nose as her fingers coiled around the door handle giving it a light pull as it opened she stepped out of the black SUV. Flicking the cigarette a few feet away from her position she reached down gripping the handle of her customized Berreta 9mm. checking the magazine, she would then place it back into the holster grabbing her backpack slinging it over her shoulder she began heading toward the entrance of the large building. Stepping inisde thorugh the glass doors she began heading toward the elevator which would take her straight up to Mr. Hawk's office. Of course, she was no amatuer, she came prepared. As she pressed the number pad on the elevator digital readout she would smirk happily.

Flash_Guardian is mesmerized by Glyniss's voice, watching her fingers dance about with eyes wide. The drone watches also, from the far side of the room.

Devaine_Hawk sees a red light on the computer panel start to Flash , and quickly types in several commands on the key board .

[Devaine_Hawk] Prompt: activate all sensors

[Devaine_Hawk] Prompt: set security measures to non lethal

Glyniss_McMasters continues to hum the tone keeping to its sofeness never wavering as she continues to circle and stroke....a flattering of paper in the room when caught by the light breeze seemingly in the room

[Devaine_Hawk] Soon a read out appears on the screen . Thermal and infra red sensors activated : motion detectors on line : unknown personnel on board elevator: anorthic shock inducers prime ,setting no lethal: air ducts open, gas canisters dispensers on stand by agent selected: tear gas/sedative

Flash_Guardian closes his eyes, a pleasurable smile on his face, much like a small child being lulled off to sleep by a soft lullaby. The subtle breeze swirls about them both, and Flash's burns slowly fade and disappear.

Devaine_Hawk presses the switch for the PA system that is wired through out the building “attention , the office is closed and I am unable to take any new cases until further notice , please take the elevator back to the lobby and leave immediately or I will activate the security system”

[Flash_Guardian] The drone perks up suddenly, its scanning dish popping up and orienting on Glyniss's and Flash's hands.

Glyniss_McMasters once the burns seem to fade....the gentle humming slowly comes to an end....dying slowly on the air as silence falls apart from the noise made by the others.....smiling now " Ter yer g' bu'..." letting his hand now go..looking around for the first time aware something is happening

Kara McMasters would take a cigarette from her pack and ignite it as she crouched down as the elevator was slowly but surely bringing her up to the desired destination. She unzipped the duffle bag looking into it at the contents. Inside were several fragmentation grenades, three to four flashbang grenades, extra magazines for her Berreta 9mm. A laptop computer with various electrical wires and a compact handheld digital readout device. She brought her sunglasses on the edge of her forehead biting her lips. "What to use...," Kara quietly murmured to herself taking a hit from the cigarette. She dug around in the bag retrieving a com-link microphone placing it onto her head as the voice came over the P.A system. She grinned nodding her head. "We'll fix that..," She said bringing the laptop out opening it. She then stood up and plugged the jack into the elevator's electrical port typing several keys on the computer. The elevator would stop at the level as she began to hack the door opening. she began to scan.

Devaine_Hawk types into the computer as he watches her on the monitor . Prompt deny access from all outside sources accept commands only from lab interface. Prompt : flood elevator with sedative gas for approximately 5 minutes then shut all vents off to elevator. Soon in the elevator the panel and lights would go dark as the sedative gas begins to spew from the inhalation , before the vents shut completely . The door would remain closed , and unresponsive to any foreign commands .

Flash_Guardian slowly opens his eyes as the sensation fades, looking up at Glyniss, then down to his hand, wiggling the fingers testingly and beaming. He takes Glyniss's hand in both of his and looks at her thankfully. The drone's attention seems to have been pulled from Glyniss and Flash to orient on Devaine's ongoings with his computer. It twitches excitedly in the air, its sensor dish now trained on the computer as it listens in on all the digital traffic.

Glyniss_McMasters rises brow seeing how excited the drtoid seems to be...squeezing Flash's shoulder lightly before limping to see what the hell is going on.....over to the monitor she can see Hawk keenly keeping a check on...

Kara McMasters stopped typing for a moment as she waited for the schematics of the security system to display upon the screen. Looking up as she noticed the gas she immediately dropped the cigarette onto the ground quickly reaching for her bag grabbing her biohazardous gas mask slipping it over her face after removing the headset. She smirked. "And I thought this was going to be easy..," She chuckled for a moment as she stood back up lightly twisting a flashlight she removed from her gunbelt. As she typed on the digitalized computer the systems security mechnasism would have a fifteen minute delay until the satellite relay would pick up on her ghost tracking. Tilting her head looking up at the gas chambers, she bit her lip typing in various command codes initializing the system to her preference she would within seconds disable the gas sucking the filtration back up into the ports. Within a minute or two she would remove the mask, tossing it onto the bag. "Tricky little bastards.." She said to herself.

Flash_Guardian follows only a step or two behind Glyniss, also peering down at the monitor ... though he seems to not understand what's going on.

Devaine_Hawk grunts , “well I tried to play nice , but she won’t take a hint ,” he types his next command . Prompt :activate nanotech fiber shock inducers level 3 non lethal voltage

[Devaine_Hawk] As soon as the command is sent , a electric shock would be sent through the walls floors and ceiling of the entire floor of the building with the exception of the lab . When Dev outfitted this place he built it as a safe room , as well as his fourth floor pent house . The walls and floor in it do not contain the nanotech fibers that run through the rest of the buildings structure to deliver the shock .

[Flash_Guardian] The drone's eyes light up ... quite literally. It orients its transmitter dish on Devaine's computer, and within seconds begins inputting commands of its own at lightning speeds ... Devaine's security system is now protected by a firewall based on a auto-rotating alphanumeric key, making it nearly impossible to send signals to the security system from any outside ports.

Glyniss_McMasters just watches the monitor this not being her feild at all......Dev's show...

Kara McMasters worked her fingers over the keys on the laptop like a true professional. She enjoyed cybernetic combat and loved to be tested. She however didn't make a point to go through this much trouble to infiltrate and installation. Tilting her head as an error light flickered upon her screen she looked to the elevator door and merely said. "Awe, fuck.." As the electric shock blasted her against the wall of the elevator she screamed out punching the wall in anger, slowly she would fall to her knees to regain her composure. "Bastards..," She cursed as her head began to ache. Slowly she would rise up and erase her previous command, initializing the elevator doors to open. Slowly they would extend before stopping. The firewall had kicked in. Grabbing her gear, she brought the laptop back into the bag unholstering her Berreta 9mm. barely squeezing through the tiny opening of the doors. Once on the actual floor, she looked around. "Alright, come out!" She shouted knowing they whomever would hear.

Devaine_Hawk watches the monitor , waiting for the results "to bad you had to be pushy , miss " he speaks into the PA

Devaine_Hawk speaks into the PA again “and why should we do that , I could just disable the fail safes on the elevator and drop you like a bad habit “

[Flash_Guardian] The drone continues to watch Kara over the security monitors, watching and waiting to see what she would do next. Flash blinks and pokes the monitor with a finger, making an odd face.

Devaine_Hawk narrows his eyes as he studies the woman on the monitor , and blue white flashes of bioelectricity race in his onyx orbs as the computer readout shows her attempts to override his commands “ she’s good , and more than meets the eye , as well , that shock would have dropped a normal man twice her size “ he thinks before looking over his shoulder to the others “should I hit the joy buzzer and let her have it again ?” he asks before pushing a control on the desk to shut the lab door .

Kara McMasters walked along the middle of the entry way, she would quietly sweep from room to room until finding the office door. Taking a moment to manually attempt to open it she smirked. "Locked..," That figured she thought to herself before holstering the weapon. She smirked reaching into the bag pulling a fragmentation grenade out. Kara would then lower the bag onto the floor as she took out a wire tieing it onto the release pin of the grenade. She smiled wickedly looking around. "I told you i'd fix you.." She paused for a moment lowering her head. She had felt dizzy ever since the shock occured. She shrugged it off before placing the grenade back into the bag, she would zip up the bag and sling it over her shoulder. As she began to stand up, she'd fall to her knees. It was apparent, even though she was trained in combat and subjected to various mental and physical tests. It was no doubt the big picture afterall, she was only human. She sighed standing back up on sheer force of will as she grumbled.

Devaine_Hawk oocly reminds all that the lab room is built like a safe room again . The walls on the outside in the office look wooden like the others , but are reinforced titanium steel alloy a half foot thick .

[Flash_Guardian] A text window would suddenly pop up on Devaine's screen in an out of the way location. [Why not ask her what she wants?]

Devaine_Hawk reaches over and punches in a command to send another shock attack targeting the office outside and the hall way , raising the level to near lethal 4

Jin-Saotome peers in through a fourth-story window (or if the building isn't that tall, whatever level is close) cupping his hands around his eyes so he can see better. No he's not flying, but instead is standing on a gigantic metal hand attached to an even more gigantic metal body. Jin could of used the door, but where's the fun in that? Instead he gives the window a good pounding with his fist and says, "Hey! I know someone's in there, I heard commotion! Sounds like gunfire, or explosions, or Ninjas... something. Hello? Anyone home?"

Devaine_Hawk looks over to the drone and smirks , “because she’s armed to the teeth , and trying to breakdown my office door ?”

Devaine_Hawk adjusts the volume control on the PA system so that Jin can here it through the bullet proof glass the window he’s thumping on , “ everything is just fine , we gave at the office , on a diet , no scout cookies for us ,have a nice day” he speaks into the PA .

Glyniss_McMasters sighs softly watching the monitor....this afterall was Dev's baby....his show...

Jin-Saotome points down and the giant hand he's standing on slowly lowers with a his of piston and pnumatic power. "Maybe we should try a lower level?" Jin says to the Blodia as it brings him to a different window, still not anywhere near the front office door. Jin wafes his long white scarf out of his face and peers in again, rapping on the glass.

Jin-Saotome scratches his head as he hears the PA system click on and says, "Cookies? Diets? Wha....? I'm not selling anything."

Jin-Saotome 's damn screen doesn't refresh when he's typing, sorry...

[Flash_Guardian] The drone lets out a sudden squeal as it overhears the command for the near-lethal shock. After witnessing its effects, its eyes light up once more as it taps into Devaine's computer systems in an attempt to disable or lock out any levels of shock-attack beyond level 4.

Devaine_Hawk sighs and clicks the PA again “good , what can we do for you today , ?’

Jin-Saotome checks his notes again and says to himself, "Didn't Terri mention a D-something Hawk I was suppose to talk to? These directions are funny..."

Kara McMasters was prepared this time. The first time it is your fault. The second it is hers. A militaryesque motto that she's lived by for the past few years. Upon hearing the familair initialization of the shock waves being activated, she would look around before stepping into the direct center of the place. As the wave attacks came she would flip into the air bringing herself in a directly summersault landing with precise grace narrowly missing the first attack, as the other came forth, she went to dodge it but was knocked back against the hardwood wall, she would fall motionless to the ground, but was however still breathing. She forced herself to remain silent as much as it hurt. Her mind spiraled as she went to reach for her Berreta 9mm. Customized to fire rapidly and effectively. Her aim would soon be on the monitor cameras. If she could find it in herself to stand from the second attack. "Mm..ugh.." She blinked regaining her senses. Clentching her fist, she began to rise sluggishly but none the less.

Jin-Saotome crumples up the paper and tosses it over his shoulder, rubbing at his eyes as he says, "I was hoping you could tell me. Terri I believe mentioned that I needed to find a Mr. Hawk... I don't know what about tho, and it's lead me here."

Flash_Guardian has become bored with the goings on around the monitor, not really seeing what was so interesting about it. He begins to wander about Devaine's lab and touch things that perhaps he shouldn't ...

Devaine_Hawk watches the monitor in the hall way , “this gal is determined if nothing else , she could be someone the company sent after me or working of Jester , who knows ‘ he thinks . He clicks the PA , “I don’t know who Teri is but Mr. Hawk is kind of busy right now ,can it wait kid ?”

[Flash_Guardian] The drone next hacks her way into the PA system, sending an audio signal into the speakers in the hall outside, projecting her alto voice out to Kara. "Look, why don't you just tell Mr. Hawk what it is you're here for?"

Jin-Saotome shrugs and says, "Sure, but busy with what? I've got energy signatures going off in there like Jiffy-pop. Anyway, just tell him that Jin Saotome stopped by, and if he knows who he is."

Devaine_Hawk points to Flash as he speaks to Glyniss , “keep him out of stuff before he hurt himself again, “then turns to Lydia , “who’s side are you on , overriding my nanotech shock settings ?” he asks, but he never takes his eyes off the monitor, “shoot the monitor if it marked you feel better , but the infrared, thermal and motion detectors will still track you “ he speaks into the PA , after Lydia was finished .

Jin-Saotome thumbs over his shoulder and says to the Blodia, "You suppose it's another setup? Wild goose-chase? " The giant machine whose hand Jin is standing on shakes its head and remains silent. Jin crosses his arms and says, "Lot of help you are..."

Devaine_Hawk clicks the speaker to the outside speakers again , “we got it all under control in here , and your speaking to Mr. Hawk right now , Jin how can I help you ?” he asks .

[Flash_Guardian] Another message box pops up. [We'll get a lot more information out of the woman if she's still alive. Besides, look at her! She's in no condition to fight anymore.]

Kara McMasters held onto the wall for support as she took small breaths. This was rather becoming unpleasant for the woman but she was not about to give up. Turning her head for a moment as she gazed around her, taking in the surroundings as if computing them in her brain. "You like to see what goes on do you?" She quietly murmured to herself. As she listened to the P.A. voice she grew silent for a moment. Standing on her own once again, she would kick the door several times as her face was that of pure hatred. She then stopped staggering back against the opposite wall. She didn't know how much longer she would have conscienceness for. "Tell Hawk.." She paused before looking up into the monitor. "..his ass...is..mine.." she barely managed to get out before falling back onto her knees, as she did her eyes would flicker up into her head for a moment as her arm barely raised, the barrel of the gun pointing directly at the center of the monitoring camera. "Eat me!" She said falling backwards.

Glyniss_McMasters grunts pushing herself up from the place she had been sitting watching the monitor...not exactely happy....turning and limping after Flash...taking his arm as she gently removes the object he was obvoiusly fingering..." Naw yer don' wan' tha'.....com' on or yer hur' yersel'.."

Jin-Saotome snaps his fingers and says, "Ah! I was hoping you knew that. I was around for the whole 'Alpha' ordeal and all. There use to be a club, Club Heaven I believe? Anyways one of the ladies who frequented there disappeared, and the last name I got was yours, and the location of this building. I was hoping you knew something about Terri, or were perhaps a hunter who could help me track her down."

Flash_Guardian stares innocently back at Glyniss, wondering what it is that he's done wrong. The drone wastes no time, hovering quickly over to the lab door, orienting its transmitter on the door's opening mechanism and triggering it quickly. The lab door opens and the drone zips out into Devaine's office ... but it stopped by the office door, locked in a more conventional manner. It hovers just outside the door, wondering how to get through to the hallway outside without damaging the door.

Devaine_Hawk looks around the room at Glyniss and Lydia “think this lady might be from the company , that’s not good, they just won’t let their favorite bad idea alone “ . He clicks the PA again , you a re not unconscious , so side the guns and the bag back in the elevator , and assume the position in the middle of the hall , or I give you another , it might not kill you , but it’ll still hurt like hell” he switches over to the outside speakers , “Club Heaven .. Seen it , went past it , never went in it and my photographic memory is pulling a blank on this Terri , sorry can you give me a description ?” he asks Jin .

Kara McMasters remains sprawled out in the middle of the floor, her Berreta 9mm. just a few inches from her fingers. Her breathing is shallow and her heart has slowed.

Jin-Saotome taps his right temple lightly and says, "Blodia, give me an armaments reading, and bio-signatures for any individuals in there. Sub-scan without the thermals this time. The walls look too thick for that." The large machine's eyes flicker a pale blue high above Jin and lay a beam across the side of the building, scanning 'subspace' where the building lies on the not-so-physical plane.

Glyniss_McMasters smiles at Flash...taking his hand and walking him over to a place she hopes of safty.....a sofa..."Yer be oka' her'....don' wan' yer ahurtin' agai' no' do we?" glancing over towards Dev as he speaks into the intercom...a brow rised as she notices what the droid is doing...emmm tha' aint gonna please Dev

Jin-Saotome rubs his chin and says, "Smallish girl, twenties, dark black hair, ended up baing chased around by a psychopathic metamorph, latent telekenetic powers... um... hell... Always wore black or some kinda kimo-lookin outfit."

[Devaine_Hawk] “Lydia, the thermal , and infra red sensors say our friend in the hall is playing possum ,, “he speaks into the PA ,before his eyes race with blue white sparks , and his precognitive senses kick in “and if I was her , I would forget about going for that Berretta unless she wants to ride the lightning again”

[Jin-Saotome whispers to Flash_Guardian] Energy readings from the weapons carried/used by the drone, life signs of Flash and anyone else in there, and any sort of energy-weapons stored within the building. Capacitors, atomic, high-voltage, etc.

Jin-Saotome shrugs and says, "If you have no connection then I'm guessing I'm in the wrong time-period, or maybe I was given the wrong information. Sorry to of bothered you... Mr. Hawk...."

Kara McMasters never moved or twitched, she was literally knocked out from the intensity of the shocks. Upon smacking against the wall(s) it caused a slightl concusion.

Flash_Guardian frowns. He doesn't want to sit on the sofa, but does as he is directed. The drone just buzzes in annoyance, though it is probably unheard by Devaine. Glancing to its right, it spots a window ... and a man standing atop a large mechanical hand just outside. It hovers there for a moment, trying to decide what to do.

Jin-Saotome sounds nice and apologetic as he's really concentrating and reading the information the Blodia is sending him through his cyberlink. The large red mecha finishes its scan and either, A: sets Jin down at the front entrance barring the building has no sort of atomic-laser-death-defenses at the main door, or B: pulls up readings of advanced technology and high-tech suchness that would tip Jin off to scooting back some.

Jin-Saotome folds his arms as the Blodia instead lifts him up to the chest-hatch as it springs open. Jin steps inside and takes a seat at the controls casually, tugging on the little pine-tree air freshener before kicking back and saying, "Take care Mr. Hawk, perhaps I'll meet you in person some time!" before the hatch snaps shut.

Devaine_Hawk watches the monitors, swearing under his breath , “at least when I worked for the company I was harder to find , no demigods , giant robots , just assassins and hit men after me , have to wonder if I should have stayed with good old Uncle Sam sometimes”

Ian Boyd tilted his head through the blinded windows of his car. He drove calmly over a driveway and took a left, as there he was where he needed be. The car was a new model Aston Martin, and it was constructed out of titanium, not for its strength, though it is a welcome add, but morely for he likes the aesthetic properties of the material. When light catches a Titanium surface, it gets reflected in so many ways, causing a rather splendid effect. The car silently went to a halt, just beside the corner, and then he stepped out calmly, his body shielded from the sun by thick Pierre Cardin black jeans, a dark gray sweater and even thicker black leather jacket. His Bellini shoes shine in the glimmers of early light and clack against the asphalt. With a soft woopwoop sound, the car locks itself as he is more than 15 feet away. A hat covers the skin of his face from the early sun as well. He calmly moved towards the intended building.

[Flash_Guardian] The Drone zips over to the window ... it seemed the man and his large mech were about to depart. A mechanical hand quickly reaches out to try and unlatch the window. If successful, it opens the window and hovers outside, trying to stay out of sight.

Jin-Saotome and the Blodia depart, the large machine leaving huge footprints in the parkinglot after depositing 50c in the meter. It carefully steps over the street and nearly steps on Ian Boyd's car, the giant metal foot slamming down only a few feet from the door! Jin leans out the chest window and yells, "Sorry bout that! Nice car tho..."

Jin-Saotome leans out the window still and continues saying, "Hey, there a pizza joint around here anywhere?" Now mind you he's riding in a 3-story tall bright red Mecha, yelling way up there from the machine's chest.

Ian Boyd halts his step for a moment, looking back at the Car as the nearby movement causes the alarm to ring.. He blinked slightly and turned his head about for a moment, think wrinkles deepening as he covers his ears.. "Thank you.." he calmly said, then looked back at the building, quite happy really that Jin missed his car. He pulled down the rim of his hat and breathed in a large whisk of air, only to puff it out again. Morely theatrical than any other, for he did not need to breathe if not necessary for sure. He continued his way towards the building, not having any clue what was near and what not

Devaine_Hawk turns his attention back to the people actually in the room with him , or at least in the office , “well as usual never a dull moment for our little group , “ he laughs looking around , “where the hell did Lydia get her self to ?”

Glyniss_McMasters pushes herself up from the sofa....turns and limps out of the lab room seeing as the door is now open...looking about before limping over to the lift's doors still partly open...peering inside guessing she sees the markings of blood perhaps etc...before pulling away and looking about the room...a little puzzled

[Flash_Guardian] The Drone, Lydia, has managed to make her way through the 3rd story window and outside, coming to a complete stop as it witnesses what transpires ... a 3 story red mech, and another car parked outside with a nicely dressed figure now approaching the building. Its scanners oriented on the departing mecha for some time, until it moved out of range. Shortly after that, it hovers over to a different window at the end of the 3rd floor hallway. 'Now how to open this one ...'

Devaine_Hawk looks around , to find him self alone in the lab , “great , here comes another lecture , I got a feeling , now like I was trying to think , where do I get two large uncut diamonds ?”

Ian Boyd did not wait any longer to approach and halted his movemegnt at the door. He stood still for a moment, and then pressed the buzzer. It would probably ring, as a buzzer usually does. He needed to relay some information, maybe set up an exchange post, to earn the campus more information channels and affiliates.. He blinked for a moment, assessing his surroundings very closely. As the sound of the loud metal footsteps slowly fades towards the horizon, he notices something... afloat, and he narrows his eyes slightly. But then, for good measures, he rings the buzzer again and just kept standin

[Flash_Guardian] The drone spies Glyniss in the hallway and watches as she inspects it and the halted and disabled elevator. Reassessing the situation, it realizes quickly that the office door was one of those that locks/unlocks from the inside. If machines could show embarrassment, this one would. It quickly hovers back through the open window, pulling it closed, and re-latching it. It reminds itself to brush up on the workings of 20th-century door-mechanisms later.

Devaine_Hawk walks out into his office after shutting the lab door behind him , the hidden wall compartment sliding shut to blend in with the rest of the office wall

Devaine_Hawk walks out in the hall , and discovers the mysterious assailant gone , she wasn’t prone in the hall any more , looking down to the elevator he calls to Glyniss , “where the hell did she go ?”

Glyniss_McMasters shrugs not even looking back as she continues to examine the room more intent on seeing if there is another exit from the floor then that offered by the life

Devaine_Hawk walks up to stand next to her , “she was outfitted like someone working for the company , this is bad if she is , and she did say my ass was hers …” he shrugs , guess it’s just one more bullet with my name on it “

Flash_Guardian isn't about to sit idly by on the sofa while everyone else is out having fun. He quickly stands, scowling, and follows Devaine ... only to be stopped by the laboratory door. Curses! He glares at the lab door control panel smugly. He would open it just like he did last time. Not realizing that it was Devaine who opened it and not himself, he begins pushing buttons until the door springs open.

Devaine_Hawk looks to Glyniss , “think I went to hard against her , am I just paranoid , ?” he stops and then grins “I don’t guess you know where I can find tow large high quality uncut diamonds for Lucy do you ?”

[Flash_Guardian] The drone is about to follow Devaine out into the hallway, when it hears a buzzing sound coming from somewhere. The well-dressed figure again comes to mind. It zips out into the hallway, quickly floating over to the 3rd story window and looking out, sounding three long beeps to try and get the other pair's attention.

Glyniss_McMasters smiles as he stops beside not resisting as she leans back a little at his words....and grins broadly looking at the part of anatomy mentioned..." Yea'.....bu' yer ain' go' a ba' as' at tha'...gues' ter' plent' ter go aroun' anywa'" leaning back shaking her head at his diamond question...

Devaine_Hawk looks to her in mock disbelief at her words “did you just check me out , and hit on me ,shame on you , wait till I tell Reikia !!” he laughs .

Glyniss_McMasters laughs...." Aw...Dev...com' on...tha' ain' no wa' a hi'......jus' sai' yer go' a nic' ars'.....jus' ain' surpris' someon' want' it"

[Flash_Guardian] The drone hears Glyniss's and Devaine's conversation take an interesting turn in light of recent events. As if to emphasize the point, she orients her scanner dish on Devaine's posterior, shortly after emitting a high pitched sort of whistle, sounding much like a computerized catcall.

Devaine_Hawk turns to walk back to the office “try to control your self ,”he laughs , “I better make sure Flash is ok, “he tells her . Walking I he is surprised to find Flash in the office and not where he left him. He stares at him and grins “good job got the door all by your self “ before shouting to the drone , “ stop that , for the love of Pete , you two area full !”

Flash_Guardian beams proudly at Devaine, having opened the door all by himself. The drone just turns to face Glyniss, the light behind one of its eyes flickering off for a moment in a sort of electronic wink.

Ian Boyd tilted his head calmly as he pushed against the door, noting it was open. The door opens soundlessly, and he looked out over the empty lobby. The building looked tidy, and he liked that sort of thing. A tidy representation. He tapped the lobby reception counter with his fingers, waiting for a moment, but lass, it seemed to be rather abandoned. No matter, he thought and righted himself, playing with the boards of his coat, he stood upright and walked into a hallway, calling "Hello?" no answer. He then took the other one, with the same result, and only then, his eyes fall onto the elevator. He rubbed his chin and pressed the Up button, waiting for it to come.

[Flash_Guardian] The drone turns to face the elevator, watching it spring into motion, doors closing and heading down to ground floor. It bleeps at Glyniss curiously.

Devaine_Hawk takes a seat behind the oak desk in the middle of his public office room , and reaches for a drawer. Pulling out a bottle of Jack Daniels and two shot glasses , he offers a glass to Glyniss . He fills one for him self in any event and leans back in the chair, taking a pack of smokes and a Zippo from his pocket, and kicks his feet up on the desk.

Glyniss_McMasters rises a brow at Lydia's bleeps.....watching as the lift begins to descend...." Dev' boyo...we' agettin' compan' agai'"

Devaine_Hawk strikes the lighter against a jean leg and holds the smoke against it ,until the tobacco catches, and puts the Zippo back in his pocket , leaving the pack on the desk top next to the bottle of booze. “I now , he calls to the hall way , it’s nice to be precognitive sometimes , and a shot glass is waiting on you in here if you ant “

Ian Boyd narrowed his eyes as the elevator reaches ground level, with a slight digital Pingg sound. The doors slide open and he steps inside, instantly watching the floor buttons. "Hmm" He did not know what to choose, so he started going up, pressing the 1-button. He would go off all the floors and try to find someone in the neighborhood. His good ears do not descry much sound from the floors, until the third, where he heard something up above. So, he goes to the fourth, looking from the left to the right. He offed his hat, displaying short, slightly pigmented, grayish hair. As the doors spring open, he looked about

Flash_Guardian eyes the two shot glasses and bottle, seeming intrigued. He leans forward and sniffs the air, nearly stumbling backward by the liquid's potent aroma. The drone just hovers back into the office, wondering just what was going to happen next and wanting to be in good company when it did. Her attention is quickly grabbed by the computer panel hidden beneath the desk, and it remembers something. Orienting its transmitter on the computer, it proceeds to undo all of the damage dealt to the security system as a result of the earlier cyber-war ... making careful note of the techniques used by the strange woman as it does so.

Glyniss_McMasters turns and limps over to one of the fold out chairs flopping into it as her leg straightens....a loud click as the metal locks in place....one arm over the back of the chair as she waits....the other rising and finger flicking the brim of her stetson

[Flash_Guardian] The drone at last manages to clean up the mess, wiping all traces of both sides' hacking from the computer's memory ... but decides at the last minute to keep the revolving firewall as an extension of the existing security, for future use. Flash just stands there, gazing between Devaine and Glyniss. Seeing that they are both sitting, he decides to follow suit ... and sits on the floor right where he is, blinking up at them.

Devaine_Hawk stands and walks to the corner with the mini fridge , opens it and pulls out a frosted root beer , “ her you go Flash remember how much you like this stuff , “ he ask as he takes it to him . maybe this will jog his memory at last a little for a start, anything is worth shot, “ he thinks as blue white flashes of bioelectricity cross his eyes.

Devaine_Hawk looks over at the door almost like he expects someone else to arrive any second , then turns back to Flash watching his reaction.

Flash_Guardian blinks up at the root beer being plainly offered to him. He takes it in his hands and looks at it appraisingly, head cocked to the side. The bottle's exterior is cool and slightly damp, getting his hand and fingers wet. He passes the bottle from one hand to the other, trying repeatedly to wipe the moisture off on his pants ... only to have the hand that takes the bottle become moist again.

Ian Boyd looked out over the third floor as he does. His shining shoes clack against the ground calmly, in static footsteps, he moved around, sniffing once or twice, and letting his powerful senses guide him. Playing with the hat he held in his hand, he looked out over chambers displaying severe technologic sophistication. Machina for purposes that elude him, it wasn't easy to keep up with technology, especially when you're very, very old. He just gotten a hold of how to use computers. With a hum from his lips, he moved through a hallway, homing in on the sounds he heard. Until suddenly, he moved into a place that seemed more built for office functions. He knocked on one of the doors behind which he heard the sound of voices.

Devaine_Hawk sighs and reaches for the bottle to open it for Flash “well it was worth a try m here , you drink it , or at least you did , go on ..” he pats Flash on the back “you ‘re gonna be all right, sooner or later buddy , and I’m gonna make damn sure a certain clown regrets ever messing with my friend.”

Devaine_Hawk returns to his recliner behind the desk , kicking his feet back up on it and calls to the hallway “come in , it’s open ,”

Flash_Guardian watches Devaine open the bottle, a look of understanding coming over his face. He accepts the bottle, peering inside to get a look at its contents and sniffing it once or twice. A grin spreads over his face, and he brings the bottle to his lips, taking a careful sip, after which the smile broadens even further and he takes a longer drink. At the knock on the door, the drone perks up, its scanner dish revolving in that direction, but otherwise remaining silent.

Ian Boyd calmly opened the door, and tucked his leather jacket calmly, as his static figure made place for the door. He blinked once and looked at the scalara of people inside.. "Excuse me for butting in" he said calmly and looked about, from Devaine to another person. "Are you the executive of this office?"

Glyniss_McMasters watches Flash before Dev start's interacting with him....a slight smile forming...Dev she realises really does have a soft spot afterall..head turning towards the door as she hears the knock..shifting a little as the person enters eyes drifting over this new arrivals' appearance

Devaine_Hawk raises a hand and grins “that would be me , what can I do for you Mr.…?”

Flash_Guardian continues to drink his root beer with glee. Whether or not he remembers it, he certainly seems to be enjoying it. The drone simply gazes between Glyniss and Devaine, its transmitter orienting on the PA system once more. Lydia's sweet alto voice pipes over the intercom. "Sheesh, aren't we Mr. Popular tonight."

Devaine_Hawk looks over to Glyniss as he slides a panel on top of the desk aside to reveal a computer scene and touch pad built in to it , “I just have to find those diamonds for Lucy , and go fry me a demigod “ he laughs as he starts a search on the computer , reaching for the full shot glass sitting on the desk , next to the bottle , he glances to the drone “ funny , real funny”

[Flash_Guardian] The Drone listens to the digital signals passing back and forth over Devaine's computer ... and suddenly emits a squeal of delight. The transmitter and scanner dishes both orient on Devaine's computer ... Devaine quickly finds his bandwidth maxed by a sudden rush of internet traffic.

Glyniss_McMasters shakes her head " Shoo' yer ain' stil' agoin' afer tha'....." nodding to Flash " Wha' yer don' abou' gettin' Flas' bac' ter norma'...ain yer go' contac' yer ca' cal' in?"

Devaine_Hawk nods “ been working on Flash too , but yeah , I’m going to take that damn clown down, for every body’s sake “

Glyniss_McMasters frowns twisting around to face him ..." Loo' we gon' ove' tis groun' alread'....I don' thin' yer goin' ge' folk' lettin' yer go of' on yer ow'"

Flash_Guardian quickly finishes his root beer, looking rather disappointed as he probes the inside of the bottle with his tongue to catch the last few drops. The drone continues to utilize as much of Devaine's internet connection as it can ... Devaine's net browsing has probably slowed rather significantly as a result.

Rocksi walks into the office lobby, the heels of her boots clicking on the floor and echoing. She looks around curiously.

Devaine_Hawk takes a long swig from the shot glass , draining it dry , and slams it back down on the desk , before gargling the whisky, an odd habit , and letting it burn all the way down. He blows a long stream of cigarette smoke at the ceiling and turns his gaze to meet hers , It ‘s cold as his voice , and the bioelectric sparks of blue white light jump in his onyx orbs , “ I never ask anyone’s permission , first of all, and second of all I’ll have Lucy with me , “ he speaks in a calm voice, almost more fighting then if he was yelling is how calm he is about hunting a demigod on his own,

Rocksi notices a flight of stairs, and decides to check the place out. She keeps walking up until she finds an office on the third floor that seems to be occupied.

Flash_Guardian sets the bottle aside, now looking up at Devaine's bottle of J.D. on the desk above him curiously.

[Glyniss_McMasters] "Di' I sa' yer hav' ter as' someon'.....jus' yer ain' agoin' alon' wha' ifna yer ge' hur'..." a hand coming upm to stop any protest" Ain' no matte' yer thin' yer ar' alway' someon' outta ter tha' bette'...so yer gettn' hur' or kille' ca' sti' happe' and don' yer go on abou' yer no' carin' ifna yer di' cos yer go' folk' carin' fer yer wel' bein' no'"

Rocksi pushes open the door, and steps inside. Seeing the office is already quite full, she waits just inside the door.

Devaine_Hawk starts to reach for the shot glass again , and changes his mind . He picks the bottle up instead , and turns it up , taking a long drink. He catches Flash eyeing the bottle , and grins “as tempting ads it is , boy scout , no they all would be ready to kill me if I turn you into an alcoholic , “ he laughs . He turns to Glyniss “we all die sooner or later, if I have to I have to, I learnt to live with that a long time ago, and I don’t want anyone else getting hurt , le me do what I do, “ he states . Then he turns to the woman in the door , “can we help you miss ?” he ask as he takes another long drink of the bottle and puffs on his cigarette again .

[Flash_Guardian] The drone continues to speed down the information superhighway at impossible speeds ... eventually, a handful of windows pop up on Devaine's screen. Various gemcutters and dealers, articles about growing your own diamonds in a lab, price guides and market value for diamonds, university web pages entailing the molecular structure of diamond, etc.

Flash_Guardian seems to bear the woman no mind as he sits on the floor, holding the empty bottle in both hands and staring straight down the empty neck to its bottom.

Devaine_Hawk looks down to the computer screen and raises an eyebrow , before turning to the drone, “can you narrow that down to uncut large high grade diamonds, and where I can find two?” he asks Lydia .

Rocksi turns to face Devaine_Hawk, "Oh, Hi. I was just wondering what this office was for...you know, what you did."

Glyniss_McMasters mouth clamps shut as she side glances to the door as the woman speaks....leaning back a little bidding her time

[Flash_Guardian] The drone continues and refines the search ... windows close and reopen with new titles, only to close again a moment later. At last, only three windows are displayed. One is a vendor that deals from across the ocean, having a wide selection of natural gems for sale at rather high prices. Another is a black market dealer, a bit more local and with low prices, though the web site doesn't look to secure. The final one is Everglow Laboratories, an advertisement for customly grown gems. The prices are a little steeper, but it seems reliable.

Devaine_Hawk looks back over at Glyniss , “You forget I got precognitive skills, I already know me and jester are going to tango, and I’ll tell you the truth, one of us won’t walk away, but I can’t see ,who” he grins as he taps his head, and the blue white bioelectric flashes cross his eyes . He turns to the woman in the for again and gives her a nod “Private investigator, to keep it short , Ms..?”

Devaine_Hawk closes out the lab advertisement and the over sea dealer windows on the computer , “ we need natural diamond, still uncut and fresh , they have occult properties that a lab can’t reproduce, and I don’t have time for the over sea thing, this black market is are best shot” he tells Lydia

Rocksi smiles, "It's Ms Starr."

Glyniss_McMasters kinda just glares at Dev....her mind switching to her own plans....glancing as she watches Lydia frowning...Dev obvoiusly didnt know her too well.

Devaine_Hawk smiles back at the woman in the door way , “well Ms. Star ,is there something I can do for you, I have to admit , my calendar is full so it might be a while before I can get to your case, if I stay alive that long”

[Flash_Guardian] The drone beeps affirmatively at Devaine, but continues searching. This time, windows begin popping up in the background. Devaine only manages to catch glimpes of text from them, if at all ... power, nuclear power, fission, fusion, matter to energy, generators, dynamos ...

Rocksi looks slightly worried, "Must be a tough line of work. You'll be glad to know I don't require your services just yet. I was just curious."

Flash_Guardian reaches up for the bottle of J.D. whilst Devaine is otherwise occupied, trying to pull it down to him for a better look.

Devaine_Hawk switches his gaze back to Glyniss and smiles as he sings a short lyric she might remember , “I know what your thinking , all your doubts and fears. And if you look in my eyes , in time you’ll find the reason I’m here “ he chuckles “what a look , your ready to knock me over the had and hog tie me if you thought for a second you could or it would stop me “

Rocksi turns towards the door, "Thanks for your time!" she calls, as she walks through it.

Devaine_Hawk switches his gaze back to Glyniss and smiles as he sings a short lyric she might remember , “I know what your thinking , all your doubts and fears. And if you look in my eyes , in time you’ll find the reason I’m here “ he chuckles “what a look , your ready to knock me over the had and hog tie me if you thought for a second you could or it would stop me “

Glyniss_McMasters slowly smiles at Dev as she leans back..." Jus' cos I won' succee' don' mea' I won'a tr'......bi' a' yer ar' yer ca' fal' jus' as wel' as ter othe' ma'.....don' thin' yer can'"

Devaine_Hawk nods to Ms. Star , “well hunting demigods can be rough , especially nutso ones who want to kill you in the first place , but I try,” he grins and snatches the bottle up before Flash gets his hands on it, and takes a long swig again, before taping his head , “again, precognitive,” he laughs, leaving his hand on the bottle this time when he sits it back on the desk.

Flash_Guardian frowns and grumbles at Devaine, glaring at the elusive bottle for a time before slumping forward, chin buried in his fists. The drone continues to surf the net, not stopping on any one page. Nothing seems to fit what she's searching for, it seems.

Glyniss_McMasters rises a brow..." Yer ge' drun' yer won' be goo' fer squa'......wha' yer planin ter do go in gun' a blazin' shootin' an' blowin' everythin' up.....an' wha' mak' yer thin' he ain' asittin' ter awaitin' fer yer"

Devaine_Hawk looks at the bottle and grins “I don’t get drunk any more , my mind break down the alcohol to fast for it to get to me. I drink this because it reminds me of home , is all. And I got a semi plan in my head for our enemy , a wise warrior picks the time and place of his battles when he can , and if he can’t he improvises to the best of his abilities, I know he’s setting a trap because it’s what I would do , but does he know, what I’m up to is the kicker “ he laughs

Glyniss_McMasters tilts her head..." Wel' he ain' gonna thin' yer sittin' on ter cut' as' of yers fer sur'....hi' gonna kno' yer gonn' go in wit' whatev' yer go'.....an' he sa' som' of it las' tim' remembe..an' ifna yer remembe' he go' inter a com' 'fer ho' yer kno' he ain' in yer's no' thi' her' minut'?"

[Flash_Guardian] Out of nowhere, Flash keels over backwards with a groan, head coming to rest on the floor rather roughly, his arms and legs sprawled out on the floor. Flash proceeds to stare at the ceiling, a pained and longing expression on his face. The drone continues her mad searching.

Devaine_Hawk taps his mind, trying to search for the malevolent presence he felt at the ship and on the astral plane, eyes flashing “I’d know if he was here , I think, or hope , but if he is I don’t think we’d be sipping on drinks and relaxing “

[Glyniss_McMasters] " Oh sur'...h' alik' ter ti' hi' han'.....familai' groun' yer sai..." blinking head dropping to look at Flash as she jumps up.." Sho' wha' ahappenin' no'?"

Devaine_Hawk looks over to Flash . Wondering what she noticed that he’d missed , “huh?”

Glyniss_McMasters flashes Dev an angry look before leaning over to see what the hell is wrong with Flash.....a small limp as she reaches for his hand to feel a pulse....another going to the side of his neck resting two fingers to feel if his breathing

Flash_Guardian continues to lay on the floor, sprawled and unmoving, staring at the ceiling. His longing expression is tinted with a hint of confusion.

Flash_Guardian is indeed breathing, and his pulse is fine. He makes no move in response to Glyniss's contact other than to peer up at her, a gaze full of emotional hurt and confusion, almost pleading.

Devaine_Hawk springs from the chair behind the desk , racing to bend down on one knee beside Flash ,reaching out with his psychic senses to see if there is a more paranormal reason for the sudden collapse

Glyniss_McMasters looks down at him puzzled...withdrawing her hand from his wrist....eyes drifting over him quickly for any physical damage...though she cant seem to see any...sideglancing to Dev almost willing him to get to the bottom of it..

[Flash_Guardian] Lydia continues to race across the internet, as though possessed.

Devaine_Hawk looks over to Glyniss , “in a way I think he knows what’s happened to him , that must be the worst part , remembering heat he was like, and not being like that now, on some level, maybe if you sing to him it can help him calm down , he’s realy frustrated and confused right now, feeling lost , if I read him right “ he suggest as the flashes cross his eyes .

[Flash_Guardian] Just then, the phone probably rings.

Devaine_Hawk reaches for the phone on the desk , keeping his gaze on the two of them , “hello,” he snaps as he lifts the receiver.

Glyniss_McMasters nods to Dev...licking her lips a habit it seems when she's about to go into her power....taking Flash's hand her thumb rubbing over the back of his hand as she begins her very low humming.....barely heard....light and airy....her other hand reaching out as she strokes his cheek

[Flash_Guardian whispers to Devaine_Hawk] It's Devaine's internet service provider. They're calling to ask about some unusual out of character activity they've been monitoring over his connection.

Devaine_Hawk answers in a short clipped tone , “yah ,it’s possessed, “ and slams the receiver down,

Flash_Guardian stares up into Glyniss's face, listening to her light humming, his gaze now more pleading than anything else.

[Flash_Guardian] A moment later, the drone seems to recoil backward, its transmitter and scanner dishes thrown off their original trajectory. A moment later, the drone seems to regain its balance, still in midair, and begins to emit a long-winded series of shrill beeps, sharp clicks, and nasty buzzes, quickly floating out of the room and into the hallway beyond. On Dev's computer screen, there is an error message.

Devaine_Hawk stalks the office in circles , glancing over at flash and Glyniss every so often as his circuit brings him to their side of the room. The blue white flashes in his eyes start to speed up, along with the pace of his steps , until they’re so bright and strong they actually explode from the corners of his eye sockets . He sudden snatches the bottle of booze from the table and flings it at the far wall, near the book case away from the others . Not finished , he grabs the recliner and tosses it like a paper weight toward the door, Finally he walls to the far wall and punched it hard m they hear something crack, is it the plaster or his hand ? “Damn it to hell!!’ he shouts .

Glyniss_McMasters slowly begins to build the hum upwards....the siry tune beginning to gather some semblance to strength...the airy tune losing itself in the deep notes that hang heavy in the air as she progresses to build the song....though heading towards the sound of a wail this seems to have some sort of a melody rather then a continues wail.....her fingers cupping and squeezing his cheek....her connect with his body coninuing with the strokes..eyes closing as she concentrates on what she;'s doing totally unaware of anything about her....suddenly papers begin to rustle....the chairs and doors rattle..pulling at their hinges.as paer comes to life in a swirling whirlpools

[Flash_Guardian] At first, Flash is afraid, seeing the reactions of Devaine and the drone, but his attention is quickly drawn back into Glyniss's song. The look of fear slowly seems to glaze over as he loses himself in the melody, his breathing calming somewhat. As the papers begin to swirl about the office, Flash's eyes roll back into his head, and his hands begin to tremble, his heart beating faster.

Glyniss_McMasters head down eyes closed as she fully concentrates on her task.....picturing Flash in her minds eye...her hum now lost rising...gliding dipping and swirling and as if answer to her callings doors fly off....draws rattle and slam open...as pens papers....begins to whirl and swril around...forming tornades of their own as she pulls on more power..

Devaine_Hawk focuses his mind’s eye on the poltergeist like activity , and can see that Glyniss is the core or the eldritch energy at work in the room. small price to pay if it helps Flash , and if it don’t what the hell?” he thinks. The guilt was getting to him , coupled with the helplessness he’d feel when it came to helping Flash , so he snaps again, the tantrum carries over to the hall as he follows the drone , “and what the hell are you doing , where do you think your going ?” he shouts down the hall, never looking it’s way. He moves to the panel an opens the lab door, not turning the lights on he shuts it behind him.

[Flash_Guardian] Flash's hands are shaking violently now, and the rest of his body begins to spasm, the unearthly song playing madly across his entire nervous system, his head and neck arching back violently. A particularly powerful jolt causes his leg to lash out, striking the side of Devaine's desk and knocking it askew. There is no sign or sound of the drone.

Devaine_Hawk finishes his little tirade in the lab away from the other , that’s probably best anyway, he might disrupt what ever good Glyniss is accomplishing with flash. They might hear the sounds as he turns over benches and pulls racks off the walls , or the fowl language, most of which is directed at Jester or even more so Dev himself.

Glyniss_McMasters head falls forwards as she concerntrates on her task....her notes and tune rising dipping and moving faster and faster...something similair to an opera being performed by one person...resounding echoing about the room..the notes exploding into sound...everything in the room not nailed to the floor by now performing their own merry dance swirling diving dipping in ever corner over every space...smashing ito walls ceiling....everything breakable getting smashed when hitting a solid object...

[Flash_Guardian] Every muscle in Flash's body suddenly seems to tense and contract all at once as Flash curls up into a ball, still shaking and trembling slightly, eyes vacant and teeth clenched. It isn't certain just how much more of this Flash can take ...

Devaine_Hawk walks out of the lab , after a few minutes , eyes still a blaze with bioelectric sparks. He has Lucy strapped on his back , and the car keys in one hand , a gym bag in the other. He ducks flying book as he shuts the lab door and starts toward the hall . “Keep an eye on Flash , while I go talk to a black market man about some diamonds , the drive might calm me down “ he tells Glyniss if she can hear him. He winces as a folding chair clips him on the hip and walk out the door.

[Flash_Guardian] The drone is hovering low out in the middle of the hallway, front forward in a sort of slump and not moving.

Glyniss_McMasters hand squeezes Flash's cheek almost subconciously her thumb resting on his hand....her hands following as he moves beneath her...somehow the broken smashed furniture where not hitting them...yet the room itself semed alive as a living breathing entity of its own...she had not drawn on so much power in the pass before nor was aware that she could entering into uknown territory...pressing onwards...her throat beginning to hurt as the song echos behind Dev as he leaves

Devaine_Hawk nudges his way past the drone focusing on it to see what if anything he can sense. He makes his way on down the hall to the elevator , a man on a mission it seems . He watches the drone, as the doors close in front of him , the sparks flaring again , “ if jester has done something to her as well then that’s just one more to answer for when me and him dance he thinks .

[Flash_Guardian] Glyniss's song rises to new heights, and soon Flash's mouth begins to move, seemingly of its own accord in time with Glyniss's song. Sound issues forth as the song seems to echo around through Flash, his own musical voice joining in subconsciously, a whisper amidst the storm as he sits on the floor of the now trashed and dangerous office room, shaking and shivering.

[Flash_Guardian] The drone takes no real action ... just floats in the hallway silently, staring down at the floor. If he senses anything, it would be helplessness.

Flash_Guardian adds "and guilt." to the end of that last post.

Glyniss_McMasters head jerks somewhat recognising another accompanying her own...joining in beside her own vocals sparinng her own....though her eyes still closed and thus unaware of her surroundings as she in turn was trying to give Flash her strength to return...hopefully pulling him down to the light from where he fludders in the dark....her fingers pressing into him a little more needing this contact....the room now filled with a continues sound that never seemd to dim or dip....its strength like a mountain..

[Devaine_Hawk] Finally they might hear the Aston Martin’s engine roar to life in the street below, and the sound of tires screeching on black top as Dev leaves the building so to speak, The cars sound system blares an eerie folksy operatic tune , very apocalyptic sounding , imagine the music when the low point in all the movie heroes sound track for lack of a better description , sorry loss for words.

Glyniss_McMasters suddenly changes her hold wanting needing something stronger as the song suddenly shifts in tempo....as she does her arms going around him pulling him to her...letting every sttrength she can call upon to penetrate...sink into Flash...her head almost resting on his body...her mouth wide open as the high pitched notes surrounding rersounding seemingly feeling the whole building by now....windows smashing as the contents of the room seek release from their surroundings

[Flash_Guardian] Flash's body and mind are pushed straining to their limits, heart racing, veins bulging outward from his tight muscular form, his accompanying song twisting into some kind of unnatural scream resounding amidst the chaos that surrounds him ... until finally it all simply seems to break. Flash's body falls to a limp, silent heap on the ground, completely loose and relaxed, eyes closed and not moving, a cold sweat covering his nearly lifeless form.

Devaine_Hawk picks up his cell phone and dials the office , hoping there’s still a phone to answer

Glyniss_McMasters falls his body slump against her...his body relaxing limply in her hold....mouth closing the resounding notes coming to an abrupt holt.....as silence falls....her hand slips to see if his breathing...

Flash_Guardian 's breath comes slow and shallow, but it is there. He's out cold.

Glyniss_McMasters opens her eyes slowly....enegry drained from her as she looks around kinda shocked at what she sees.....unsure where Dev had got to...looking for some place to drag Flash off to rest....pushing herself up as she stumbles limp into the other room....getting something to cover him with....not really having the strength to do anything else

Flash_Guardian lays in his makeshift bed. From the depths of his weary slumber, his lips seem to move, and nearly inaudible sound comes forth in the shape of erratic mumblings. They almost seem like words ...

Devaine_Hawk listens to the phone ring , “come on pick up , “ he mutter ,he wonders if he should turn around .

Glyniss_McMasters takes his hand squeezing it as she leans close listening to him her eyes closing a little as she does this had taken its toil on her body etc...in doubles...

Glyniss_McMasters brows knit slightly unsure if thats a real phone she can hear ringing or some echo residue of her singing
