Lucan Thorne March 13, 2013 *Pacing the length of his office, trying to abate the amber
glowing in his eyes, filled with anger and utter disbelief at how a simple
recon mission ended so unfavorably. How could the young warriors be so
careless?
As the sound of multiple pairs of heavy boots echo down the hall, He seats himself behind his desk; giving a nod to Tegan who’s leaning against the wall impassively arms crossed in front of his chest. When Kellan, Mira and Nathan cross the threshold of his door way he mumbles a curse under his breath* Fuck, the Kid looks like hell. *Raising his voice as he meets three sets of eyes* what the hell happened out there?
Top of Form
Kellan Archer *Still
feeling like crap as I step into Lucan’s office and see two pair of angry eyes. I want to look away but hold my gaze trying to find the words for what happened in the club*
Mira
Nicholas-Archer *Despite being reassured by Kellan that
there can be no bond between him and the female breed, I can't help but feel
broken down inside. My eyes feel puffy from the tears that have been shed in
the time between leaving the arena and entering the compound. I let go of Kellan's
arm as we enter Lucan's office...I watch as Tegan's eyes scan over us and I know he is disappointed. I can see it in his eyes and hear it in his words. How many times has he taught us not to let our emotions get the better of us? When we stop at the desk, I am the first to speak up* It was a cage fighting ring, female breed like Tavia but trained in combat was in the center. They...they taunted us until someone volunteered to fight her.
Nathan Bishop *My
gaze sweeps from Lucan to Tegan as I take note of their angry stances and
my early training kicks in and I refuse to offer excuses. With little
inflection in my voice, I repeat the events from the night including the intel
on the female GenOne, Satora, that they had prior run ins with and her Breed handler, Diabolus, as Mira mentioned.* We have proof now who is behind Final
Death.
Lucan Thorne *Listening
to the events of the night, each of them presenting their own explanation , His
anger boils over, *Banging his fist on the desk* You mean to tell me that sad
excuse of a breed Diabolus and his Gen One lackey were able to goad three Order
trained warriors into a fight? A fight that could have ended up with someone
gravely injured, or even dead? *
Kellan Archer *I
look Lucan in
the eye as I state my case of the events* I had no other choice but to protect
Mira, it was like they were expecting us to show up. *As Tegan moves near his
words biting a little bit I open my mouth before I have time to think about
what I’m doing* It’s not like I wanted to end the night beaten up and looking
like an ass in front of you.
Mira
Nicholas-Archer Don't get mad at Kellan,
he was pushed into the cage because he was trying to save me from my stupidity.
*I look up at Tegan and begin to feel as though I am shrinking in size.* She
was vicious. *I mentally curse the tear that begins to fall from the corner of
my eye* I can't stop it!! *I yell at them as I brush tears off my face* She
licked his blood off her fingers!! *I exclaim before I even realize*
Nathan Bishop *Nodding,
my mind went over the events and I know that our actions may not have be seen
as the best, but it was what happened. I lay a hand on Mira's
shoulder, silently giving her support.* Where do we go from here?
Lucan Thorne *Running
his hand through his hair, he looks at Tegan as he makes his way back to his
chair* First of all, go get yourselves properly taken care of, second, you are
all off of rotation, I haven't even made my mind up as to how long, I'll speak
to Tegan and he will let you know what we decide, *Looking at Mira's
swollen eyes and tear streaked face, he decides to ease her suffering just a
bit* Mira, you don't need to worry about that female being bonded to Kellan, We
know from her encounter with another breed male that she is genetically
incapable of bonding. *raising my voice again* Lastly get your asses out of my
office. looking at you three is giving me a headache.

Nathan Bishop February 18,
2013 -I sat at the computer screen staring at the words, wondering how Gideon deciphered this mess. Give me a rogue any day of the week instead of this greek. Hearing Mira and Kellan entering the
room, I turn around and nod at my arm showing them the burn mark from the
gunshot.- Where were you hurt?
Top of Form
Mira
Nicholas-Archer Not too bad, just a scrape. *holding up my
arm to show him the faded scrape scar* He got it worse though, I crunched his
nuts. *giving them both a smile*
Kellan Archer *Lifting
up my shirt I show them the already healing slice across my abdomen* I just
can't get over how real it felt. It would be a great training tool for the
breed! *walking over to the bed I take a seat and look over at Nathan*
So what now, do we report this to Gideon and Lucan Now
or wait until we have more information?
Nathan Bishop -Shaking
my head- Not yet. Kell, I played off your game so progressed further into the
game. At the end there was a message, “Death has a Match, visit us soon.” I've
been playing around trying to find it on the internet but so far nothing. One
of you want to give it a try?
Mira
Nicholas-Archer Well that's not creepy at all! *wry grin*
What did you use as the search terms? I can give it a try... *picking up his
laptop and typing in a new search phrase.*
Kellan Archer *Getting up I start to pace the room thinking about the words then all of a sudden I stop and slowly turn around. Walking over to Mira, I
lean over her and look at the screen* Hey Mouse try looking on the games web
page, then type the words in the search bar and see what comes up!
Nathan Bishop -Watching
the two of them work, I saw Mira's eyes light up when the search results started flowing
on the screen. I look over their shoulders and there is our next lead. Local
game matches. Meeting Kellan's eyes, I knew we were both thinking the same thing.-
See what we need to do to get registered. After that we can take everything to Lucan and Gideon for
an update.
Mira
Nicholas-Archer *Clicking on "register"* Well
boys, it looks like we're in luck. *turning to look at each of them* It's free
to sign up, and you don't even have to put your real name. Just user names.
*filling out forms for each of us: Archer, Bishop and Nicholas* And, we're
signed up!
Kellan Archer *Watching as she fills out the forms and shuts down the computer I start thinking again* I wonder how long it will take to hear from them? *Looking at them once again I start for get a funny feeling* Listen you either of you think this was a little too easy? I mean how many humans would figure this out so fast? I'm certain who ever developed this game is somehow keeping track of who has bought the game!
Nathan Bishop -nods-
I think you are right. I think you have to reach that level to get the
information and it wasn't easy. Not sure how a human would even get close.
Killing that assassin was like opening a portal. Ready to fill in the boss men?

Lucan Thorne February 16,
2013 *Scrubbing his face with both hands he blows out a long sigh and pushes the file back on his desk. Tegan is fully confident that the three young warriors are well prepared for the mission, But While he waits for them to arrive, he can’t help but think of them as the children they had been when they landed on The Order’s doorstep. Hearing them in the hall way, he straightens in his chair, doing his best to appear impassive as usual. — with Mira
Nicholas-Archer and 2 others.

Nathan Bishop -Walking
toward Lucan's
office, my mind is going over all the possibilities I have heard the other
warriors discussing and I look up to see Mira
and Kellan.
Nodding, we enter the office and I take the chair closest to Lucan.-
Mira
Nicholas-Archer *Entering Lucan's
office ahead of Kellan, excited at the prospect of a mission for the three of
us to go on! I smile at Nathan and
take my seat to the right of the desk.* Hi Lucan!
Kellan Archer *Walking
in after Mira I
take my seat and wait for Lucan to
speak. I look him in the as he starts to tell us what he has in mind for us*
Lucan Thorne *After
greeting them, he starts right in with the info* you three are the perfect
candidates to send for this mission, you are youthful and familiar with the
gaming world, not to mention highly trained warriors. “Final Death” ever heard
of it?
Nathan Bishop -nods-
It’s a virtual reality game where humans can pair themselves against breed
fighters in a to the death match. Pretty barbaric and gruesome from what I've
seen.
Mira
Nicholas-Archer *leaning forward* Sort of...*looking back
and forth between Nathan and Kellan* I would definitely need more information
on it, like Nathan said, it sounds gruesome.
Kellan Archer *Nodding as Nathan talks about the reality game* I have heard some young humans speaking of the it when I have been on patrol, I never thought anything of it. I mean it's seemed like ever other game that is out there!
Lucan Thorne *addressing
all three* The problem is, that the teens playing these games have been turning
up missing or worse, dead. The humans in their ignorance have decided that
although it’s a human designed and engineered game played by other humans, the
Breed must somehow be responsible for the treacherous acts.
Nathan Bishop -Scoffing
I look up at Lucan.- Let me guess, it's our problem now? What do you want
us to do?
Mira
Nicholas-Archer Of course it's our problem...the humans have a new group to place blame on. *rolling my eyes*
Kellan Archer *Looking
from Nathan back
to Lucan*
How do you want us to handle this? I mean how far can we go to find out just
who is behind this, and what do we do when we have all the information?
Lucan Thorne *He
sees the mixed emotions among them* I want you to do some research first. Check
in with Gideon for
the technical aspects, and take your mission ops from Tegan. first we
investigate, then when we have proof of what is going on, we can take whatever
action necessary. *Pointing at each of them and meeting their eyes* But you
three better check in like clockwork, and watch each others backs *nodding his
chin towards the door he dismisses the trio*
Nathan Bishop -Nodding
again, I rise from the chair and wait on Mira to
leave.- Consider it done.
Kellan Archer *rising
from my chair I give one last look to Lucan*
We won't let you down! *I turn and leave closing the door behind me*
Nathan Bishop -As
the door closed behind Kellan, I stop a few feet down the hall and lean against the
wall. It wasn't fighting but a mission was a mission.- I think we need to go
play this game. I want to know what we are facing and getting into first hand.
Mira
Nicholas-Archer I agree. *standing between my two best
friends, looking up at their impressive heights* Do either of you know where to
get it?
Kellan Archer *Agreeing
with both of them I think for a minute* Well I would think that we could get it
at any video store. There is one not too far from here, I've seen human kids
hanging out in front of the building!
Nathan Bishop -wry
grin- Good idea, we will probably need to purchase all the gear to go with it
instead of just buying it online. I'm driving!
Kellan Archer *Looking at Mira and shaking my head* Let's get going, oh by the way Mouse I've got shotgun!
