-Clep politely waited for the two to finish their conversation and approached Alleras. "I'm impressed. You're the first one that has called me by my true name since I got here. I don't think it's that hard of a name to pronounce do you? As for your earlier question, I would love to discuss my home planet. I just hope I don't get carried away and talk for hours about one building." Clep smirked. "I'd love to hear about your planet as well someday."
-"Jack, give it back." Kazuma said, a very annoyed tone in his voice. "Nu uh, you gotta come get it yourself!" Jack shouted back, hovering above the air, Kazuma's Readius held above his head. Kazuma jumped up, but Jack just floated slightly up, just out of Kazuma's reach. "I'm warning you for the last time, give it back." All patience gone now as Kazuma jumped up again, missed by a very narrow margin and fell back down. 'Fall, a little help here?' Kazuma asked. 'You're the one who welcomed the kid into your heart, you gotta deal with his behavior.' Fall answered, his voice sounding like he was trying very hard not to laugh. 'Hardy har har.' Kazuma said as he jumped again. When he landed this time he pointed to the far side of the armory. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" He yelled. Jack was distracted momentarily and fell for it. As he turned to where Kazuma was pointing, he jumped up and grabbed onto Jack's leg and pulled him down. "Awww, you're no fun." Jack complained as he handed the Readius over. Kazuma scooped it up and put it in his pocket.

-"No, it's not that hard a name to say. I think it must be a problem with human lips, or some such. Oh, you want to know about Dorne too? Well, we run the risk of both of us getting carried away! Though, I don't mind. I like hearing about the finer details. Especially if it is something close to your heart. A world is best, and most interestingly, described when described with love." She broke off, glancing at Kazuma. "Is...is he alright?"

-Kazuma noticed Alleras looking at him strangely and he walked over to her, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "I guess I should explain. I have the ability to wield these creatures known as 'Personas'." Kazuma opened his palm and a miniature Jack Frost popped up in it and waved at Alleras. "Each one is unique and can learn different things. Most people that have the ability to wield them only have the ability to wield one, but I'm sort of a special case." Kazuma closed his palm and Jack vanished. "Now, each of these guys can materialize in the real world and interact with everything in it. What you saw over there was my newest Persona, Jack Frost, messing with me. I hope this cleared things up and didn't bore you in the process." Kazuma grinned as he finished.

Sepp drifted away from the chatting group members and headed over to corner of the room
*Why do these guy's insist on talking incessantly* he thought to himself
He proceeded to lean against the nearest wall slow sliding down to the floor with one leg stretched and the other bent, pulled out one of his pistols from its holster and a cloth from his pocket and began to polish his firearm in an attempt to entertain himself while they waited

"Well..." Critias said, trailing off.
"I was put on the planet Xrixis by my parents. I never knew them, they left me there with my sword." With this, Critias drew his swords and placed it on the Commander's desk.
It was a little longer than you'd expect for a hand and a half sword, and the blade was 3 and 1/2 inches wide, and its colour was dark gray with silver markings up the blade.
They were actually words written in the language of Critias's race.
"This sword is made of Star Shine metal. I'm sure you know of it, the strongest metal in existance. Can peirce anything, besides other Star Shine." He said.
"Its not just that though. It lives. The wisdom of all the beings that used it are trapped inside. They can be released by saying the words on the side. And only I know what the symbols mean."
Critias pointed to a specific symbol on the pommel of the blade.
"However, this is the swords true name." Critias said.
He bent down and whispered to the sword.
"Tendril."
The second the word left Critias's mouth, the sword seemed to moved. The blade shimmered for a moment as if it were made of fire.
Critias looked up at Fallout and smiled.
"But beside that," Critias said, standing up straight, but leaving the sword on the table. "My planet...."
"My planet was green. There were no roads, no real technology. We knew how to make things, sure. You dont live forever without figuring things out. But we didn't really need technology. So we didn't make things." Critias said, his eyes becoming calm and glazed over with rememberance.
"We lived in the trees. The Elders would sing the trees into shapes with magic that would allow us to live in the trunks. Wooden door hindges and all. I lived in the biggest tree on Xrixis. It was easily 60 meters across. The top peirced the cloud line." Critias said, smiling. A tear rolled onto his cheek.
"Then THEY came." Critias said.
His eyes flared red, and the room lost its brightness and warmth.
The tear on Critias's cheek evaporated.
"They Came In Black Ships. Only Small Ones, Fighters. The Capital Ship Stayed In Orbit, It Didn't Even Fire A Shot. I Shiver To See What It Could Do. And I Worry That There Are More Of The Ships. The Fighters Flew Down And Fired At Anything In Range."
Critias said, then his eyes darkened from bright red, to blood red.
"I RAN. I TRIED TO BRING THE MAN WHO RAISED ME AND TOUGHT ME THE WAYS OF THE SWORD, BUT WHEN WE GOT OUTSIDE, HE WAS SHOT. HE BURNED. HE SCREAMED. HE DIED. SO I LEFT HIS BODY AND FLEW. I FLEW TO ONE OF THE TRANSPORT SHIPS, AND TORE OPEN THE DOOR. I KILLED THE PILOT AND MADE MY ESCAPE. SOME OF THE FIGHTERS FOLLOWED ME. THEN, WHEN I WAS HIT, I CRASHED ON THE PLANET THAT THE GROUP WAS ON. THEY HELPED ME FIGHT THE SOLDIERS, AND I JOINED THEM. THATS THE END OF IT. Critias finished, his voice became filled with his rage.
Tendril shook on Fallout's desk, as if it also felt Critias's anger.

Fallout stayed calm as he carefully eyed Critias, "I'm gonna ask nicely. My wife and daughter are in the next room, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't freak out," Fallout said in a more serious tone. He then stood up and looked out his window, "If you're telling the truth..." Fallout stopped as he turned back to Critias, "I need to talk in private with Admiral Luke here, do you mind if I have someone take you to a room where you can wait? It has free cable," Fallout said with a more friendly smile.

Critias looked at him oddly, thinking slowly. He wanted to feel blood on his hands.
He took out his music box and let it play.
"Very well." He said as last. He picked up Tendril and put it away.
"I apologise. It is hard to re-tell how all the people you've known for 5,676 years died in such pain."
Critias stood and bowed.
His eyes were empty. And sad.

Fallout nodded as he pulled out his Readius and pressed a button, "I need someone to escort this man to a room for the night," Fallout said into the Readius, "Yes Sir Commander!" A voice replied back
. Within a few moments a Thunderfist walked into his office and gave a salute to Fallout and Luke. He then looked at Critias, "Please follow me," he said as he led Critias out of the room.
Fallout sat back down and leaned back in his chair as he let out a sigh, "So, what should we do? Should we let him go with James, or send him packing?" Fallout asked, looking at Luke.

As he snapped out of his daze, Mitsuro walked over to the new addition to the team. "I suppose you have connections?" He said, smart-ass-like, "I'm Mitsuro," he extended his hand to shake with Alleras, letting his long, onyx black hair obstruct his view.

Valen tried to not show his aggravation at being suddenly whisked off into an elevator by someone who he had not known prior to this. He anticipated to be at least told why he had been led to the elevator and where he is being taken to. However, this certainly wasn’t the case as the elevator was stricken by solemn silence. ‘I’m not going to assume that staying quiet is going to assist my in any way. He hasn’t made his intentions clear, and I suppose asking about him about it won’t do any harm.’ Valen inquired with a serious tone, “So, what’s all this about? Not sure about you but I mind not knowing where I’m being taken to.”

'I know I haven't made my intentions clear,' a voice said inside Valen's head, 'I'm Admiral Snipes, and I'm very interested in a man that was born with TK. I'm taking you to a place where you can unlock your true potential, but I have one question,' Snipes said inside Valen's head, 'Offensive or defensive?'

At first thought Valen considered taking this question as very important. He looked at it as something strategic. ‘I don’t have any defensive abilities as of yet. However, something offensive may come in handy.’ Valen contemplated the decision but felt that it would be best to stick to his gut feeling. “Given the circumstances I think I’ll go with offensive,” said Valen, his confidence unmistakably showed in those words.

"Levitation it is!" Snipes said as the elevator finally came to a stop. The doors opened to reveal a massive warehouse, at least the size of a small Wal Mart, "This is where you'll be training your abilities!" Snipes pointed all across the vast warehouse, aside from a few barrels stacked up it was empty, "See those barrels over there?" Snipes asked as he pointed to the stack of barrels, "I want you to use your TK, and throw them as far as you can," Snipes said as he began to wait.

-Clep was walking back from the weapons merchant as Kazuma finished his explanation. "Hey, I just talked to the merchant about that fight he was talking about and it seems like it's going to start soon. Wanna join?" He asked both of them.
-Kazuma thought about it for a moment. "Sure, why not? It'd be good to see a fight for once and not be a part of it." He said, smirking. Kazuma gestured for Alleras to come with them. "Come on, it'll be fun." He said as he followed Clep towards the fight.

“This should be fun,” Valen spoke with a slight smirk on his face. Valen single out a single barrel from a cluster that was nearest to him. He stared at it intensely, focusing his mind on solely on it. A faint white aura began to envelop the barrel, as an even dimmer strand materialized, connecting the barrel and Valen. He focused his mind, and slowly but surely the barrel sluggishly rose up from the others. Having lifted it Valen proceeded to fling it, causing it to land about 400 feet away. “Well, this will certainly prove useful,” he said, giving off a chuckle.
