Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Oh, I suppose I can post too while I'm here. This is my team after all. I'm a tad confused, so if there is some reason that this post can't happen, tell me and I'll delete it.))

CP USED: 4
Jacknife, who had been skulking about waiting for his opportunity to strike since the fight started. He had been creping around in the darnkess watching and waiting. The flash had not upset his eyes, his MTPA had nice dark lenses. His MTPA was also lighting up that beastie like noon in cancun. Even after it was covered in a pile of rubble he could still see it through the lens over his left eye.

Jacknife covered his face as the kart exploded, sending magical energy signatures every which way. After the energy signatures from the rune and blood faded, which wouldent take long at all, a couple seconds maximum, Jacknife would hone in on the energy signatures left. He would then begin walking around, checking each signature for a marble. Chances were there werent too many little bits of magical things sitting around on the ground, so his chance of nabbing a marble was pretty good. A man walking around picking things up off the ground woulden't attract much notice. Especially when that man was Jacknife. He would slip any marbles he found into his pocket for safe keeping.

((Abilities being used:
Jacknife is well trained in tracking and leaving no trace himself. His training began due to his younger years being spent in the forest, then was continued at the hands of the Gaian Military after he was recruited as a scout and spy. It is impossible to track Jacknife when he is on foot through any sort of wilderness unless he is leaving some sort of obvious trail. Examples of such a trail would include a trail from a heavily bleeding wound or from a heavy object being dragged behind him.

Blend: 4CP
The blend ability alters the mind of everyone around Jacknife, making it difficult for them to notice him. This allows him to move through areas where he would be otherwise unwelcome. The effects of blend cancel out if Jacknife performs an obvious action that would single him out, such as attacking anyone or shouting. Blend does not work against people guarding extremely small areas such as a doorway or a room that would fit only a few people. It also does not work in areas where nobody is permitted, though this includes any of the spotter's own personnel.))

Adam sighed when nothing popped out at him, and let his guard down slightly. He was a little relieved that he wasn't risking death, but he had been looking forward to happening upon one of those magical marbles. He quickly reached into one of his pockets and drew forth his roll of duct tape. Pulling out the end a bit, he lifted the roll to his mouth and bit off a small sliver, than began chewing at it as though it where gum. Thinking for a moment, Adam snapped his fingers as he got a plan. Why let the marbles come to him when he could go to the marbles. He began searching through the factory rather swiftly, hopping to happen upon a marble, or at least a marble possessor.

As Alan gathered their spoils and headed out of the factory, so did Xallen. He left the factory from another side just as Adam entered, so he expected that no one would see him. He headed to customs.

After much fruitless searching, Adam sighed heavily as he gave up, and stomped his boot down into the ground, hard. It made a slight imprint in the ground beneath him, but he didn't care to notice it. Making sure all of his gear was in place, he took a firm grip on his AK-74 and walked out of the factories southern doorway, toward the city customs.

Institute >> Factory



Dramatic music, drumroll, flare, everything that let you know that a new group has entered the scene.

Unless there was something going on here, they'd probably move on.

There didn't seem to be anything going down here.

So walking with his team, he headed for the Akea Customs.

From the southeast, they'd hear a whole lot of barking... dogs at the Construction Yard, apparently.

"Alright, where is it?" Gamma was leaning back and forth, trying to look out several different windows at once.



He didn't have the best directions or even know if the shadow could be trusted. He'd already killed it, just in case.
