Aekea Customs The customs office is theoretically there to ensure that no bots leave or enter Aekea without proper authorization, but as most Gaians know, enforcement of the Bot ban is spotty at best. So instead, you have a box-building that serves as the entrance to Aekea, with a single disenchanted officer who spends the better part of his life napping. Occasionally he'll ask someone to open their pack, but that almost never happens. The structure itself is a single large room, empty accept for an x-ray machine for luggage (dusty from disuse), a desk, and a sleeping officer. One door leads to the outside, the other leads to Aekea.

Alm entered the Customs Office only to find the guard asleep. Alm saw no reason to wake him as he checked back to make sure Anji was following.

Anji was indeed trailing behind quietly, strangely making little to no noise as he followed the larger man. He was used to being quiet so as to not have to worry about others looking at him. That could be annoying, especially when they tried to scream....

Alm, seeing that Anji was close behind, continued through the customs office to the shantytown. If he could get those marbles, Alm would be ecstatic...though he hoped he had enough money to get them....

Anji continued to follow behind Alm, a strange feeling greeting him as he travelled. It was the same feeling he had before he had first met the creepy guy. Continuing on, a smile hidden under his mask, he walked...

Alm strode quietly through the customs office yet again. The same guard was lying asleep at his post, and yet again, Alm had no intention of awaking him.

Alm gave a hildish wave to the sleeping man before moving on to the Robotics Factory. At least the chill has let up a bit

Adam quickly closed the gap between him and Aiolos, then smirked as he reached his comrade.
"Not exactly my idea of a night on the town...but It'll do." He said with a snicker, than reached into his pocket and pulled out the marble within. He thought of what he had seen while watching James finish the last of the puzzle...James...
"Well, seems like we made ourselves some friends..." Adam glanced over to Aiolos, and his face became stone. "And enemies."

Adam tossed his marble into the air as he walked, catching it before it fell. He knew the marbles had power, and he knew that it could be accessed. The problem was, he did not have the proper equipment, or in this case, mark, to use the power. Though everyone had mentioned that Tadashi could tattoo the mark to your skin....
Reaching into his pocket, he drew forth the cigar he had attempted to smoke the night before, during the battle with the metallic dino of doom. He placed it to his lips, and quickly drew out his zippo, lighting the end. He then tossed the lighter back into one of his many pockets, and began to take rhythmic drags on the long, fine cigar. He turned to look toward the construction yard. It had proved itself to show an enemy, but not very powerful ones wandered through the heap of steel and concrete. He turned to face the yard, and began walking in its direction.

Xallen arrived from the northeast. He looked over to Alan. "Have an idea of where to go next?"

"Hey Xallen, I picked this up for you." Zen replied as he tossed the voicebox to his comrade, "You never know if you might need this in the future."

"I dunno, keep heading the same way we were heading I suppose." Alan replied. They really didn't have much intel on anything that would suggest the presence of a marble, so there was really no reason to change direction yet.
"Let's head out into those fields."

As Adam entered the customs, ballistics mask down, and AK held in his hands, he didn't look exactly friendly. He quickly eyed the customs and caught one of his comrades from the night before. He ran up to there sides and grinned behind his mask. "What's happenin', guys? Mind if I tag along for a lil while? Can't seem to find Aiolos..."

"I dont mind if Xallen and Zen dont." Jacknife said with a grin. He was always up for more allies. They tended to keep his a** off the frying pan in battle. If nothing else they made good diversions.
