"Watch out!"

by Tabitha Curtis Sable Shadow

Makeshift and I manage to purloin some of the reflective foil they have been putting on the windows and we walk back out to see if we can find either Psypher or Shadow. As we exit the building, we find them just outside where they had come to find us. I would say great minds and all, but. The Shadow immediately says, "Let's go!" and expects us to just fall in line. Sadly, the other two guys with me just fall in line. I try to ask questions and I get major attitude about if I don't have a plan I should just follow along. I try to provide some questions that should be answered so that we can all work towards a common goal. They are not interested.
 
Suddenly there is that guard that had been so friendly and he explains a little bit about the plan which includes getting onto a hovercraft and disabling it in any way. This supposedly will make the bad guy stop his attack and go back home to investigate. Seems he thinks he is so superior that there is no way that anyone on this world would be able to even dare to attack him or his things. Once I agree that this is at least a plausible idea the guard snaps his fingers and we are on the hovercraft in a warehouse looking room - with a group of guys on a smoke break!
 
I immediately pull a shadow to make the edges of the room move to cover us and grab Makeshift's hand. I whisper a quick question to find out if anyone can see and only the Shadow has the ability to see dimly. I lead them quietly to the next room and release the shadow once I can tell that there is no one here. Inside this room are a lot of crates with all types of scrap metal filling them. There are also cables and power conduits in the walls according to Makeshift. He finds some valves that he determines will do what we need to do and get Marco to assist him with turning three valves. Once they complete that task, a klaxon goes off. I am watching the door to be ready and when two smokers from the other room enter, I throw a cloud of darkness and begin to sneak around and whisper into their ears: "Watch out!" "Did you see him try to hit you?" "Where is he now?" "What is happening?" They finally manage to run into each other and knock themselves out. Once that happens, I release the shadow and the other file in from their various places so we are all together again.
 
The klaxons are still noisy so we can't really hear each other, but I hear enough to know that they used some grenades below. I suggest we get off the ship in sign language and The Shadow agrees that we should continue into the ship and the others follow - again!

Makeshift indicates the coast is clear and we head into the kitchen to grab some food. He makes sure that we just get a little bit of everything and get it all cleaned up and we run back into her room. I can actually hear her walking back into the kitchen...

O Canada!

We enter the room and it is very loud. Now that we have had time to look around more I am noticing that there is a lot of things missing: no storage places, no cleaning equipment, no bathrooms. No where are the platters that carried the food. The only on...

Several of the team follow the strangers into the building. I chose at this time to not contaminate my aura with the hideousness that is the decor for this building that is claiming to be an eatery. There is a table outside close to a window so I can kee...

I peer into the next backyard and can dimly see tress to the west, east, and a younger tree further north. The darkness surrounding me is actually impairing my ability to see to the edges of my area of control. Normally I can see easily, but now it feel...
