"That really doesn't sound much like you, Chief, doing that for money. Now if you witnessed some atrocity, perhaps one that was personally close to you, I could see a crime of passion falling into your path. It would take less than a second to give immediate punishment on a man who murdered a woman and her children. I'd probably take the oppurtunity myself, and if it had been my family or one close to me, I doubt I'd even take a moment to think on it before I slit the man's throat." Sahira tilted her head with a small twist, like a curious cat. "All in all though, I don't really know you, I could be entirely wrong and you could be tempted to break into that vault."

Arch the Angel Arch moved in quickly, keeping his gun trained on the various people having sex, regretting the fact that this was not the time to become distracted. Given the effects, he himself was under the Peace aura, and was thus feeling more than a little susceptible to outside stimulus. Such as sex. ~ ~ ~ The Seer was floating outside the base, reasonably bored. He located Locke in the building, and sent his voice in there, only to be heard by Locke. /Locke, do not be alarmed. I do not seek quarrel with you, but a form of truce/ He paused, letting that sink in. /I wish to make a trade: instead of you being killed, like so many people are want to do, I will ensure that you are given a fair trial, one where the death penalty is not an option. At worse, you will be imprisoned. In exchange for this, you aid us in killing Xeen Soltari. You have the ability to prevent him from warping away, and it is that ability that prize is being placed upon. To prevent your death, I only require you to lock him down while we kill him/ ~ ~ ~ "I'm a cop. Even if I wasn't, there's a chance I'd go vigilante. Most people won't do good unless they know there's a punishment. Just knowing they can be caught keeps a lot of otherwise good people from doing wrong." The Chief shrugged. Locke paused for a moment, hearing the voice in his mind. He looked around, completely confused by the voice in his head. "Who is there?!"

/Did you not hear what I said, Locke? I assumed the man who took over Krohv would have at least a moderate schooling/ The Seer then repeated his offer to Locke.
~ ~ ~
"What? No, we got things mixed up here. I wouldn't do that for money. I was givin' an example more of a bad-guy with my powers. I have one of the best bad-guy powers. I wouldn't go killin' for money or the like. Yeah, passion and the like would prolly get me, but yeah."

No source, nothing nearby at all. It might be a trick. It might be a trap... "Where are you!" He shouted, standing and hastily looking around.

/Damnable moron/ The Seer muttered to himself, an illusion appearing before Locke. It looked like a generic man, with short-cropped brown hair and generic features.
"/I'm right here. I mean you no harm/." The Seer's voice sounded in his mind, and from the voice of the illusion. "/My offer still stands. You hold an interesting card/."

"And under what liscence do I have that this isn't some trick from Jerhic, the Angel, or Soltari himself?"

Sahira chuckled, "bad guy powers hmm? So what did your father do with his badguy powers? You mentioned earlier that he had the mist abilities as well."

Minerva moved up to the next level, continuing the climb up the stairs and getting closer to Locke.

Ruby St.Claire Sahira chuckled, "bad guy powers hmm? So what did your father do with his badguy powers? You mentioned earlier that he had the mist abilities as well." No sooner had her words died in air that there was a loud knock at the door, and the creaking of protesting wood as a heavy weight leaned against the door jamb.

Sahira glanced curiously at the chief. "Did they plan on sending anyone with you?" She stood up and walked to the door. "Watch my back, Onyx." She pulled the door open, looking slightly tense.

Anc leaned on the doorframe, looking like all hell. "Yeh know... It's a LONG ********' walk from Phoenix da here..." He wheezed, stumbling in. From the looks of it, over half of his upper body had been completely rebuilt, by the differeance in skin tone from the healing.

He asked, feeling a scab on his brow. A scab. Highly unusual. "Musta bled out pretty good back there. I've got scabs all over me chest 'n arms. Musta not had 'nuff blood left in me da heal." He said, shrugging.

Sahira smiled, "wouldn't dream of leaving home without it." She went back into the kitchen and took a dark clay bottle out of the cupboard. She dusted some sand off of it and poured it into a good sized cup. Usually it was taken in small shots, but Sahira knew better than to offer the Titan something dinky. It would be like drinking from a thimble for the guy. She walked back and handed the cup to him. "If you need something to clean anything up I have a first aid kit in the closet. So what attacked you out there?"

Anc replied, picking at a scab, and took the glass thankfully. "Thank ye," He said, taking a huge pull, "Anyrate, I was passed out for a few hours, maybe a day, I dunno. Kinda lost track of time between there 'n here, 'n even more when I got here and this shitstorm started. How long has this place been under siege or what the hell is even goin' on?"
