A SPARTAN'S WAR

ARC ROYAL STRIKE TEAM

GROUNDSIDE

PLANET SIXTEEN BRAVO

FEBRUARY 6TH, O620 EST

Danny held up his hand bringing their small column to a halt fifty meters from the north facility entrance. The Pralor Science Facility stretched high up into the air, towering over the tall trees that surrounded it. The facility was positioned at the end of a large valley with an enormous lake taking up the other end and stretching almost all the way into the next valley. The green mountains on two sides reached high into the thin air with just a wisp of clouds above them. They had landed two klicks away and followed the edge of the lake as they approached the north entrance easily able to see the structure in the distance even through the tall trees. He looked at Martin as he settled next to him on one knee.

"This is a portable facility fervon?" Danny asked him with some awe in his voice. "I don't suppose our Pralor ancestors ever considered building something of normal size?"

Martin chuckled. "I don't think they believed in normal sized anything." He spoke as Kenny dropped next to him. Martin reached up and pounded Kenny on the shoulder. "Go Kenny!" He spoke.

Kenny nodded and touched Pablo beside him and they sprinted forward to where they could see the massive entrance of the facility. It looked as if you could drive a tank through the main door as Kenny and Pablo moved to the control panel on the side.

Julie and Cody moved up to where they knelt. "You can tell where they had vehicles." Julie spoke. "The terrain is tore up some leading right up to the door."

Martin nodded and looked at her. "Anything?" He asked.

Julie shook her head. "Aside from the plant life no." She answered. "No life signs of any kind. You or Danny smell anything unusual?"

"No." Martin answered as he looked around. "That's kind of odd don't you think?" He said. "It seems like this planet is perfect for colonization."

Danny nodded. "Yeah… it looks perfect. Until it jumps up to bite you in the ass. With our luck the fucking trees will spring to life when we least expect it and try to attack us."

"Carians Simpson…" Julie exclaimed with a smile. "When did you become such a baby?"

"I don't like surprises." Danny said.

Martin lifted his A4 in one hand and slapped Danny's arm. "Move up." He said motioning to where Cody and Colin waited. They nodded and sprinted forward to take up covering positions of Kenny and Pablo. Martin, Danny and Julie covered the distance quickly coming up in front of the door. Martin tapped his jaw. None of them were wearing the standard helmet that completed the ArmorPly set to better facilitate seeing each other's expressions. "We are about to breach the door Saaraurano."

"We are watching Beloved." Aricia's voice answered in his implant.

"Red… you and Melda Min get ready to turn tail and run if anything comes charging out at us." Martin spoke.

"Understood." Anja's voice echoed.

Martin looked at Kenny who nodded. He brought his A4 up and nodded his head as the others did the same. Kenny touched the panel and a low grating sound echoed around them as the massive doors began to part. Kenny and Pablo sprinted back to stand beside Julie as the darkness inside was revealed. They bright sun exposed the nose of some sort of vehicle first. A vehicle with large balloon tires and deep tread that appeared to be armored in some way and had several dome like devices protruding from its exterior.

Martin looked up into the sky. Aurith… nothing is running out the entrance by you is it? He asked.

Dnom and I see nothing Martin. For'mya's bonded sister answered immediately. That is good yes?

Martin smiled. Aurith was returning to her old self now that For'mya was back with them. There had been a time when he worried that she would never be the same again if they had been unable to rescue For'mya. Martin shook those thoughts from his mind and watched as the doors completed opening with a resounding echo and the interior of the facility was exposed for them. They could see low power light globes still shimmering in the rear of what could only be a garage of some sort. They could make out the silhouette of two other vehicles further back and ramps moving up on either side of the interior.

"Ok… we're moving in." Martin said as he got to his feet. "Red Six. Red Six. Disperse!"

He and his team burst into a sprint and were swallowed up by the shadows inside the facility. Their wolf and vampire eyes adjusted quickly to the dim interior and A4s were sweeping back and forth ready to trigger. Danny broke in one direction with Cody and Colin, Martin in the other with Julie and Kenny while Pablo remained by the door as covering fire. The garage appeared to be nearly two hundred meters long and equally as wide, but after they passed the three vehicles it opened up quite a bit to reveal neatly stacked crates in different areas and nothing else. Martin moved up the ramp on one side while Danny led them up on the opposite side until they met near the rear of the garage by another set of double doors.

"Martin?" Wayonn's voice broke into his implant.

"Go." Martin hissed.

"If it is a standard facility… then by the interior doors there will be a panel." Wayonn told him. "All of our facilities were powered by Etheric resonance until the main reactor core was brought online. Touch the panel and power and interior lighting should activate inside where you are."

"It's some sort of garage Wayonn." Martin spoke as his eyes moved along the wall trying to find the panel he spoke of.

"Does it have rectangular vehicles with large tires?" Wayonn asked.

"Yeah. Three of them." Danny answered.

"Then it is a standard Portable Core Seeding Science facility." Wayonn answered.

"Come again?" Julie cut in.

"A Science Facility deployed to a planet that has been chosen for seed life." Wayonn told them.

"Got it." Martin spoke as he placed his hand against the wall in an indentation that was eerily in the shape of a hand. The internal lights began to wink on all over the interior fully illuminating the strange vehicles and hundreds of equipment crates scattered all over.

Julie looked around and then up, her eyes growing wide as the ceiling extended perhaps four stories up. "Wow!" She gasped.

"Ok… this changes things." Martin spoke reaching up to touch his jaw.

Danny nodded. "It sure does. Nice defensible position."

"All teams move to our location! On the double!" Martin snapped. "Cody… you and Colin stand by here at the door. Anything comes out… shoot first ask questions later."

"Got it skipper." Cody said.

Martin began moving back down the ramp with Danny and Julie. "What are you thinking Skipper?" Danny asked.

"Wayonn said it was a seeding facility." Martin said. "That's why there is no life. They were going to bring new life here to settle the planet."

Danny looked at him as they walked. "I thought Wayonn said the Pralors dismissed this quadrant of space."

Martin nodded. "He did."

"So why is this here? And why does it have power if the Pralors have been extinct for millennia?" Julie asked.

"Let's find out." Martin said as Aricia led her team into the garage at a casual jog, the Durcunusaan breaking off immediately to set up defensive positions.

"Start pulling these crates around and make a defensive wall!" Martin barked. "North and south near the interior door. And make sure there is nothing inside them that go boom!"

Aricia moved up to him with a smile at his words as Wayonn and Helen entered with the Master Chief right behind them. Isabella and Cirith, Fedor between them were looking around at the cavernous interior as they came up to the group. Martin grabbed Fedor's shoulder and grinned at him. "Excited yet?" He asked.

Fedor smiled at his Medwan. "My toes are fidgeting father." He answered.

Isabella nudged him in the side. "Just keep your toes in your boots for the moment aur keto." She stated with a motherly smile. "It would not look good to see you running with only one boot on." (my son)

Fedor grinned. "I will medwaw." He said.

Martin looked at Wayonn as he came up to them with Helen. He had pulled out a larger version of the P1, almost the size of a 21st century Notepad computer and was quickly typing on it. "Wayonn?" He asked.

"Shiria sent me this before we departed. It is a Pralor P9 computer pad very similar to the P1s you all carry. SPARTA'S WRATH had two dozen of them on board and she was going to see that they were distributed to those who could use them best." Wayonn said beginning to work on the notepad like computer. "All Pralor PSFs were marked with a number Martin." Wayonn spoke. "That is how we kept track of them and their locations. The number should be stamped along the interior of the walls somewhere in this vehicle bay."

Martin looked at Julie. "Jules?"

"On it." She said before she moved away.

"You said this was a Core Seeding facility?" Martin said as he moved to one of the nearby crates and sat down.

Wayonn nodded. "That is what the vehicles were for." He stated holding out the P9 to him. Martin took it as he listened to Wayonn speak. "They would be sent out across the planet to take core samples from different locations to insure the stability of the planet for future life. It's strange though… these facilities were always dropped in groups of six or more to cover the entire planet. This is the only one we detected. Why is it here and why does it still have power? All Seeding operations were suspended when the second war with the Scourge began according to Shiria."

Martin gave the P9 back to him and tapped his jaw. "Kinsoaurgai?"

"We are monitoring Martin." For'mya's voice responded immediately.

"You and Endy have enough room to land in front of the door?" Martin asked.

"With plenty to spare Skipper." Endith answered.

"Ok… do a slow three sixty around the facility and have Tina and Eirene give me an updated battery of scans. Then land with your tail facing the door." Martin ordered. "Keep the batteries charged in case you have to make a quick exit For'mya."

"Understood. We'll see you in twenty-three minutes." For'mya answered.

Martin stood back up as Anja, Dysea and Muton's group entered the garage. His head turned when Julie shouted from across the garage. "Skipper! Found it! Zero One Five!"

Martin turned back to Wayonn. "Wayonn?"

"Hold on." He said as he typed. "That… that can't be right." He said finally.

"What is it Wayonn?" Helen asked.

Wayonn looked up at Martin with a puzzled gaze. "According to the databases from SPARTA'S WRATH Facility Zero One Five was destroyed nearly fourteen thousand years ago by the Scourge."

Danny looked around. "Looks in pretty good shape for being destroyed." He said.

Wayonn looked at Martin. "We need to get to the main control room for the facility Martin." He said. "It's the only way to be sure."

"Yeah… this is where everything in the movies always goes to shit." Martin spoke with a shake of his head causing most of them to laugh softly. "Ok… stick with our plan. Red… you, Miseo and Muton move to the medical wing. Master Chief you are with me, Dysea and Julie. We're going to take Wayonn and Helen to the control room. Danny… take the rest of the team to the Power Core and see if you can get full power back. Take a couple of the engineers we brought down from ARC ROYAL."

"I will remain here and establish the defensive perimeter and emergency evacuation point." Isabella spoke.

"I will take a team of three Durcunusaan and move to the western entrance with Aurith." Cirith spoke now. "Being inside this facility makes my skin crawl."

Aricia leaned close to her with a smile. "We'll have to explore that some time in the future Cirith. I can make your skin crawl as well. Just in a good way." She spoke seductively to her lover and fellow Queen.

Cirith grinned back at her and flashed her dark eyes as she licked her full lips. "That sounds very promising." She said.

"Slut!" Anja hissed playfully at Aricia.

"I hope that promise extends to all of us?" Isabella said with a smile.

"Indeed." Dysea chimed in.

Helen looked at Wayonn's disbelieving expression and shrugged with smile. In the last few weeks she had watched Martin Leonidas's Queens grow closer than they ever had before. While their love for each other was famous across the Union, Helen had seen their friendship blossom and become an unbreakable bond over the last weeks, even more so than it already was. Almost losing For'mya and Dysea both, the events with Anja and having Cirith join them had changed all of them. On the ship they were unashamed to show the legendary affection they had for each other and Martin no matter where they were or who was watching. Even Cirith, the newest of Martin's beloved Queens, even she fell so easily into her role now and she relished in it. Each of them knew what they were good at and they acted without instruction from their beloved husband and mate. It was a trait all of them shared.

While Aricia was drawn more to For'mya and Anja in a physical way, she and Dysea were the better fighters and they didn't hesitate at taking this role. While Isabella was drawn more to Dysea and Cirith physically, she was a masterful fighter in her own right and she knew her skills were best used as a reinforcing barrier that could respond to any situation. Isabella Leonidas could and would be totally ruthless and unconcerned about who she killed or what she destroyed in order to reach Martin or one of her fellow Queens if they were in trouble. As was her darker pureblood vampire nature. Cirith's combined vampire and wolf skills were best used as a scouting force and she knew it. She would take the fastest and strongest Durcunusaan with her so they could cover more ground. Anja was their healer; the one all of them would go to in order to sooth their aches and injuries and she was the one they all turned to in order to laugh. For'mya Leonidas was the pilot and most everyone would agree, the unofficial leader of their family behind Martin Helen knew. Her calm leadership and patience served them all better if she was overseeing all of them and directing them if something happened. And they all knew For'mya would never leave any of them without first sacrificing her own life.

Martin shook his head with a smile. "Ok… Aricia will take Fedor and the rest of the facility team and head for the main living quarters."

Wayonn looked around. "Since there still seems to be some power coming from the core the facilities' bio-mechanical nature and passive sensors will undoubtedly pick up the Etheric resonance from each of you and activate emergency lighting in the areas you enter. Once Daniel is able to restore the core to full power you will find panels along the walls. Touch them and full lighting should be restored."

"Move carefully people. And no wandering off like they do in the movies ok. That always leads to something bad happening and people dying. I would prefer not to have to deal with that today." Martin ordered.

"Maybe we shouldn't have had really steamy sex last night then Lover!" Anja declared with a twinkle in her jade green eyes. "There's always really steamy sex before the bad parts in the movies! Just like we had last night!"

"Medwaw!" Fedor exclaimed. "Too much information! Way too much!"

"Indeed." Wayonn echoed while shaking his head.

Martin smiled brightly and winked at Anja as everyone laughed now and began to ready themselves. "Let's move!" He barked.

Aricia cut to the left as she passed through the large doorway, her A4 leading her entry and her wolf eyes sweeping the interior of the room. She felt Fedor do the same as he went right and they were quickly followed by three Durcunusaan. As they entered the area, dim lights began to wink on revealing what appeared to be some sort of lounge area. It was massive to say the least, stretching out some hundred yards in front of them and nearly twice that in width. As the emergency lights began to come on all down the length of the room they could see two other entrances that were closed. Along one wall were a row of what appeared to be windows covered with an exterior portion of armor. Aricia pointed to two more Durcunusaan who entered and then to the other doors. They nodded and moved off at a brisk jog.

Fedor held his P1 alongside his A4 and was watching the small screen as the others began to move in. "Nothing medwaw." He spoke looking at Aricia. "The same power readings but no signs of life."

Aricia nodded her head as she turned back to look at him. Her long, lustrous black hair was tied in a single long braid and secured by crimson red satin cords. All of them had begun using the same type of ties when securing their hair for riding or other types of operations. The Durcunusaan had also begun using these ties as a way to identify their Queens in the midst of confusion as well.

"We will use this room as a central location to branch out into the living quarters and general areas." Aricia said.

Fedor's head turned as the sweet kiwi scent filtered to him and Iama moved past him into the large room with half a dozen other technicians and engineers. Her beautiful eyes fell on him for a moment and then turned away as she continued forward. Fedor drew in a deep breath and tried to calm his raging emotions as her scent filtered through him. It was a reaction Aricia had seen before in many males of her kind and she quickly stepped close to him.

[Fedor?] She reached out to him. It was truly a wonder how all of them viewed their children. It did not matter who had given birth to them, Aricia and her fellow Queens felt just as much love and devotion to each child as the next. There had never been a time when any of them had disagreed about how to raise their children and while each of them had a softer spot for those they had given birth to, their love for all of Martin's children knew no bounds.

Fedor opened his dark brown eyes and looked at her. [I am fine medwaw.] He said softly.

[Medwan taught me how to push it to the side. He said it will pass in time.]

[Do you want it to pass keto?] Aricia asked.

[I will never be anything to her medwaw.] He spoke softly. [She does not look at me as anything more than another clone. She can not accept that I am different from them. She treats me like I am a child and I am stupid.]

[You are neither Fedor.] Aricia told him. [You know this.]

Fedor nodded. [I know. I just wish she would see that.] He sighed heavily. [Father says that… he says that it will pass and I know there are many thousands of beautiful women out there somewhere.]

Aricia nodded. [Yes there are.] She told him. [You will need to beat them off when we finally return home I'm thinking.] She finished with a smile.

[Seeing her… seeing her give herself to others so readily makes it easier I suppose.] Fedor said.

Aricia detected the heavy hint of sadness when he said that. [You saw…]

Fedor nodded. [This morning. I was passing her quarters when one of the Durcunusaan was leaving. She did not see me.]

[Do not judge her too harshly aur keto.] Aricia said gently. [Her life has not been an easy one and she has hardened herself to real emotion I think. She is unable to look beyond the surface of a person because of what she has endured. Some things are just not meant to be my son, but if the gods wish it then it will happen no matter what.]

Fedor met her eyes. [I know.] He forced a smile. [I will be fine.] He said.

Aricia reached out and squeezed his arm. "Let's get back to business. This will keep your mind occupied."

Fedor nodded. "Yes it will." He responded.

Aricia turned and faced the group of Durcunusaan and technicians that had come down from the ARC ROYAL. "According to the layout of the base, living quarters will be through the door here." She motioned to the side. "Work areas and the mess lounge through the far end. You all know what we need and this is just as important as those collecting information from other areas. All data pads you find, any prudent information on this base itself as well. Or how it came to be here. Men and women will speak more in their personal logs than in their duty logs. I will lead the team to the living quarters, Fedor to the mess lounge and work areas. Enomotarch…" She spoke looking at the young Durcunusaan. "Remain here with your team and secure this location."

The man nodded. "Understood my Queen."

"Do not become anxious if the power returns and continue with your search." Aricia spoke. "We will meet back here in one hour regardless. Stay in constant radio communication as well. And no one wander off." She looked at Fedor. "Let's do it."

"Impressive." Martin spoke as he pulled his hand away from the palm shaped indent on the right side of the door and Helen did the same from the left and they stepped through the double doors as they slid open. His eyes took in the immense size of the circular control room. There were silent computer stations and accompanying screens and monitors taking up the entire circular center of the room. The circular work stations wrapped around the tall, twelve foot high center mast. Along the outer wall of the room were dozens more stations as well as small alcoves that held one or two chairs in each.

Wayonn moved in behind him. "I've never seen security so tight on a PSS." He spoke as he moved past them into the main portion of the room.

"How so?" Martin asked.

Wayonn glanced over his shoulder. "The Control Center Doors were encoded so that only a Paladin and their Mage could open them. And the contact needed to be made simultaneously."

"You could not have opened it Wayonn?" Helen asked.

Wayonn shook his head as he turned back to the room. "Only a Pair." He replied. "The internal sensors on the door pads were linked to detect the corresponding Etheric resonance that radiates from a Paladin and Mage pair. Since you and Helen are linked by your resonance, it canceled out the security measures."

"And that's odd how?" Martin asked.

Wayonn turned back to look at him. "It tells me that whatever is on this station was either deemed extremely important or extremely deadly. As a rule we never used such high security measures because Paladins and their Mage counterparts were so few in number and often times they conducted missions apart from each other."

"You know… that statement didn't give me a whole lot of warm fuzzy feelings." Martin said. "It seems like dangerous or deadly to Pralors means large explosions and big body counts to us little guys."

"I concur." Dysea echoed his statement as her emerald eyes swept around the control room.

"You asked me to hold nothing back from you going forward." Wayonn spoke. "I am not holding anything back."

Martin tilted his head slightly and brought his fingers up so they were millimeters apart. "Ok… maybe you can hold back just a tiny bit. Like that part about deadly. I didn't need to hear that. Not today. I'm in a pretty good mood and deadly would pretty much ruin that."

"Do you take anything serious Martin Leonidas?" Wayonn asked him.

Martin shook his head. "Serious is no fun and more often than not it gives me a case of the red ass." He answered as Helen came up beside him.

"Red ass?" Wayonn asked.

Helen shook her head. "You don't want to know." She said slapping Martin's arm as she moved further into the room next to Wayonn.

"All these stations were manned Val'istar?" Dysea asked as Wayonn turned and moved past her to a computer station in the center circle.

Wayonn nodded to her after a last glance at Martin and a shake of his head. "You must remember Dysea… we monitored everything about a planet when we chose it for seeding. Right down to the molecular structure of the most miniscule life and how amino acids affected the most rudimentary elements and even future life. The different science fields are color coded for ease of new personnel to the bases. Green for vegetation. Gray for planetary crust and rock formation. Blue for air quality. Amber for Communications and Red is for station defense."

Martin looked at him. "Station defense?" He asked.

Wayonn nodded. "All of the stations had a powerful shield like the one on SPARTA'S WRATH as well as base weapons platform." He answered. "We did not send them to hundreds of different planets unable to fully defend themselves Martin my boy."

"Of course you didn't." Martin said rolling his eyes.

Helen was crossing back in front of him as he did this and she shook her head with a smile and slapped his abdomen quickly as Dysea chuckled softly. Martin shook his head and tapped his jaw.

"Danny… you copy?" He asked.

"Go!"

"How you making out?" Martin asked.

"Just getting to the engineering section now." Danny answered. "Stand by."

Martin looked at Julie. "Jules… see if you can make sense of the COM gear and when the big lug gets power back, establish a subspace link with the ARC ROYAL. Melda Min you and the Master Chief make sure all these side rooms are empty… I don't want any surprises popping out of the walls."

Tony hefted his large assault rifle and nodded with a grin. "On it Skipper. Just like old times hey Dy?"

Dysea smiled and leaned up to plant a kiss on Martin's cheek. "Indeed it is Anthony." She said before turning and readying her A4 and moving towards the first set of double doors with Tony in step just to her right.

Martin moved up next to Wayonn as he was working on his P9, Helen on his opposite side watching intently. "Wayonn?"

"I will be able to link directly into the station's network if Daniel is able to activate the core." Wayonn answered looking at him. "At the moment… what I am seeing is… odd."

"Odd how?" Martin asked.

"According to the data base on SPARTA'S WRATH, which is downloaded to this P9, station Zero One Five was destroyed by the Scourge like I said." Wayonn said. "But so far all of the equipment I have seen is stenciled Zero One Five. Even the records I have been able to pull up."

"A mistake?" Martin asked.

Wayonn shook his head quickly. "We were meticulous in the records we kept Martin." He answered. "And the records I have been scanning only go back three thousand four hundred and six years."

"You're scanning them grandfather?" Helen asked.

Wayonn shook his head quickly. "The order in which they were made… not the actual content. I can't access them until full power is restored. We…"

"Ok!" Danny's voice barked in their implants. "How's this?"

The humming began almost immediately and then all across the control center computer stations began to wink on and come to life. Lights activated immediately and caused all of them to wince as their eyes adjusted quickly. Wayonn turned back to his P9 and smiled. "Excellent!" He exclaimed. "The main core is now online." He tapped his jaw. "Daniel! Your people are at the main core controls yes?"

"Affirmative." Danny answered.

"Have the engineers bring the core to seventy percent and hold." Wayonn spoke. "That is more than enough to power the station and all the terminals and lights."

"Seventy percent. Got it." Danny answered. "Marty… I'm going to leave the tech heads here and do a sweep of the corridors around this section."

Martin nodded his head. "Understood fervon." Helen looked at him and smiled to herself at how easily that word came to him when it concerned Daniel. "All teams sound off if power is not returning to your sections. Otherwise continue with the mission as planned." Martin waited a second and when no one answered he looked at Wayonn. "Nice. You guys built these stations good." He said.

Wayonn chuckled and nodded. "They are your people too my boy. Don't forget that." He said turning back to his P9. "Julie… you should have sufficient power to establish a link with the ARC ROYAL from your station."

"Creating the link now!" Julie answered from across the center.

Wayonn nodded. "I'm activating the main Control Center grid." He touched his P9 and the two screens just above his head activated instantly and massive amounts of data began to scroll across the large four by four monitors. In a few seconds the data in the center of the monitors slowed to a crawl and moved to the sides of the screen and an image of the station came up in the center. A small section of the lower station on the monitor was flashing red in a steady manner. "Interesting." Wayonn spoke as he adjusted the controls.

"What's interesting?" Martin asked.

"The station's sensors are detecting a breach of the exterior wall on the southern side." He answered. "It is an underground entrance. Similar to the vehicle entrance where we entered." He touched the large monitor. "It appears as if one of the Science vehicles crashed into the exterior containment wall making a small breach to the interior."

"How small?" Martin asked.

"Hard to say." Wayonn spoke adjusting his controls. "The internal security cams in that interior corridor are no longer functioning. The impact must have knocked them out."

"Can we reach it from inside?" Martin asked.

Wayonn nodded. "Yes… it's not far from where Daniel and his team are."

Martin touched his jaw. "Danny… Wayonn is sending the schematics of this station to your P1. There's a breach of some sort in a garage like the one we entered, but it's underground. Check it out and report back."

"On it." Danny answered.

Wayonn continued to tap the control console with practiced ease. "The integrity of the station is otherwise intact Martin." He spoke. "Power is holding at seventy percent in all areas."

"So they abandoned the station because of an accident?" Martin asked.

Wayonn looked at him. "I haven't begun checking the logs yet but this accident as you say, it could have happened when the planet was still uninhabitable." Wayonn said. "Perhaps they evacuated for safety reasons."

Martin tilted his head slightly. "Wayonn?"

"Martin is right grandfather." Helen said. "Given the level of your technology, would such an event cause them to evacuate the entire station?"

Wayonn shook his head. "Unlikely." He stated. "Standard procedure would be to isolate the breach and then repair it."

Martin nodded. "Yeah. I don't mean to be a big kink in the wheel here Wayonn… but we are inside a station that is listed as destroyed, in a sector of space you yourself have stated the Pralors ignored because there wasn't anything to be gained. I'm sure you understand why the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up right about now?"

Wayonn nodded. "Indeed I do. Mine are doing the exact same thing." He agreed. "Give me a few minutes and I will discover what is going on Martin."

Martin nodded. "That would be a good thing." He said. "This place is starting to give me the creeps."
