Quickest possible* Ali arched an eyebrow at her smirk, what was that for? Unless.....there was something she knew that he didn't.*

"Right then." she said with a smile. Reaching in to her pocket, she pulled out what seemed to be a pebble, which she then threw on the ground at their feet. A cloud of smoke billowed out around them, coulding an 8 foot radius around them in all directions. It soon cleared, but they were both gone.

-----------------------
* The chopper had eventually reached the section in which the facility was in, about the same time Ali was finished with putting on Zivens, elbow pads, kneepads, torso armor and utility belt with a pistol holster and several clips in a large pocket, the rest had rations in case she got hungry or thirsty. The other soldiers were checking their weapons and removing their helmets, in a facility they would just be bothersome to wear. Especially if it was trashed completely.
Ali sat himself down onto the chopper floor and relaxed, Briefing Ziven.* There's happened something at a Bio-engineering facility about two kilometers away from here right now, Apparently something has taken over or been unleashed, killed everybody inside and we're going to clean the place up of whatever is responsible. Our satellite has detected static like the ones in the Library but different...the ones watching the screens were fried in their seats by something we can't explain. Therefor we need your vials and maybe even your senses to locate the source.

She nodded, taking what he said seriously though she now felt a bit of hesitation having blindly accepted this offer without asking more details first. "Is this like the missions before? I am not allowed to use magic?"

No, Considering the nature of this mission you're free to use magic as defense. But...we are to investigate what has happened and clean the place, not destroy it. Therefor you'll be the only one using magic on this one. I'll stick with my enhanced abilities and good old Ratta-ta-ta here.* Ali smiled at her as he reached over and pulled his machine gun over into his arms, he had the same pistol along with as well as he had in the library. In case the vials did work.
Moments later they touched down at the front of the facility, the troops quickly getting out and dashing over to the large bulk head entrance. Ali followed in a more casual pace, they knew the drill anyways so there was no need to rush. They would have to wait while the tech-Soldier got the doors open with his laptop anyways. *

She smiled, relieved by his answer. Nodding, she wandered straight after everyone, not feeling at all disturbed though still slight hesitation by what they were going to do. This would be interesting.

* At about the same time Ali and Ziven arrived at the bulk head door, It opened. Causing Ali to smile and look down at the Hispanic looking Tech-marine, who seemed oddly confused.* Good work, you sure have become quicker.
The marine hesitantly pulled out the plug he had set into a console next to the door and packed the laptop down, standing up afterwards.* Sir...I didn't even manage to start the program.
*Now that was something the other soldiers didn't want to hear, large bulk head doors didn't open for no apparent reason and due to the nature of the facility it was highly unlikely that it was triggered by a motion sensor. In either case, the door was open and even if the soldiers didn't like it two of them entered slowly followed by the others into a dark hallway.*

As they approached, where as Ali and others smiled, she frowned. Slowly she shook her head, looking all around at the blank wall of color on the outside. "No .. they know we are here. They are not pleased, there is great unrest from a great many beings within these walls." she said, softly, eyes still darting around as if she were seeing something others could not. Without thinking much, she made sure she still had easy access to the vials and to her weapon. Inhaling deeply, she made sure to stick close to the others - she did not want to be alone here.

* They continued onwards, past as few offices where those that had sat inside seemed to have left in a panic. Even the hallways was a mess with several candy vending machines tipped over, sticky pools of blood here and there and little to no lighting. The place must be running on the back-up generators and that didn't seem to be enough to keep the place well light, malfunctioning generators perhaps. When they reached what seemed like a large lobby, things began to look grim. There was a body sitting on a bench next to a rotting plant, bloody and with beady white eyes. The receptionist desk was large, you could probably just see the top of the head of whoever sat there. The lobby seemed to run into a T-a busted door on their right, one moving back and fourth in front of them and another leading down another hallways drenched in complete darkness. The Medic, A blond woman with a serious sparkle in her eyes had sat herself down in front of the body and were trying to determine how he had died, the rest of the soldiers secured the perimeter while Ali approached Ziven.* You said they earlier, exactly how many are we talking about? Four?, 200?

Again her eyes seemed to be searching, moving around as if following something, finding something new and following that instead. Frowning a bit, she closed her eyes, slowly counting with her fingers, her lips moving slightly as she whispered numbers. "With all the movement, the unrest .. it is difficult to keep track .. more than fifty .. though less then one hundred, I believe. One is friendly .. scared .. young .. seeking answers. One is particularly angry .. does not want us to come near to where they are at all. The rest are simply .. moving .. enjoying and loathing their freedom, confused and pleased." she said, looking to him with a bit of confusion and possible annoyance. "It is dark. May I bring out the light?" she asked softly.

Yeah, you can put on your light. All of you can.
*Several beams of light came on and began to trace across the lobby walls as the soldiers turned on the lights on the flashlight with a content behavior, it was only shadows and lack of light but still...it created chills. Then suddenly all the flashlights began to flicker and static came up in their ear pieces, a sudden scream the brief sighting of a humanoid creature jumping towards the pathway on their left in what seemed like a light blue pants and...nothing else and then the squirming body of the medic. Holding onto her throat. Just what they needed.*

Closing her eyes, she concentrated for a moment, slowly a small spark of light seemed to appear in the palms of her hands, she was cupping it as the others lights went out, turning to see the sight after the scream also. The light in her hand continued to grow, after things were settled, she released it, now the size of a softball, which floated above them, casting enough light for they all to see the room clearly illuminated. This orb would follow her as she moved. Nearing the medic, she observed in shock that she was so severely injured, having reaction only to look at Ali with question.

* The closest soldier ran over and crouched down to the medic, trying to help but alas she soon fell silent and motion less. Ali was throwing a tantrum by shooting four rounds into the tiled floor, creating small craters.
Once it had settled Ali was even more determined to get this s**t sorted out, stepping somewhat out, he began to point at five random soldiers and then at the door opening and closing.* You five take that way and report every ten minutes, we will do the same. If you find something interesting we'll come back to you, if you find nothing but a dead end we'll stop and wait until you catch up. Stay frosty and shoot anything that moves or look peculiar unless we are in the same area. This is the real deal so no dicking around, since we lost our medic I'd want you to avoid getting injured. Ziven, Petterson, Jerkowski and Fettel, you're with me. We're gonna chase down that thing and see where it leads us. Ho-ha!?

Plunging her hands in to her pockets, she grabbed out her bag and several vials, throwing a good 20 vials in to the bag and giving it to one of the soldiers in the other group. "If a presence is near you but you cannot determine exactly where, throw down one of these vials. It will summon the nearest presence to that location but only one presence will come for every vial thrown. Use them wisely." she said as she took a few more from her pocket putting them in the bag as she spoke before nodding and returning to Ali's side. "Now we all have supplies." she said with a nod as the light followed her movements.

Good, Oh...and take away that light orb. It'll reveal us when we're walking. I'd rather not be so exposed if more of those creatures are around.* Ali smiled slightly at Ziven as the five soldier began to headed towards the moving door and inside, Fettel, who was a more elderly man then the rest walking over to the dark corridor and listening. Not a sound. Once Ziven had disposed of the orb, they'd remain in the darkness for a few moments just to have their eyes getting used to it before moving on, Flashlights on and fingers on the triggers.*
