>>>>>[ Hey Courier, I think Fenris has finially stopped moving around,
boy did he leave a lot of false trails, without the thesis, I don't think
I could have tracked him. He's holed up at NF's old place out in the
barrens, has been for the last 8 hours, myself and Princess are heading
out to pick them up, Packman is already on site. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Dammit, leaves false trails all over, then holes up under our
noses, by the way, I own that property now. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Drek, the watcher I had on them just reported multiple astral
forms zeroing in on his location, we are going the astral route, no time
to get there physically, how the hell did those pricks find them. ]<<<<<

the security system, give what help I can.

(A darkened room flitters into your view, within it, are two forms, a
well dressed and groomed orc seems to be harassing an elder human male,
cowering in a chair. In the front of the room, displayed on a large
screen is a frozen picture, it appears to be a zoom shot clipped from the
recording of Powerhouse's death, one of the less appealing frames.)

Fenris: Look Lowe, I'm sick of your denial, he (gesturing to Powerhouse)
knew nothing, he was murdered simply because he defended those whom he
cared about. Decide now, will you support blatant and indescriminate
murder. (As Fenris speaks a ball of light appears in his hand, growing
slowly.)

Lowe: (whining) But....

Fenris: But nothing, it was murder!

Lowe: (broken) All rig....

(Lowe stops mid-word, as behind Fenris, a wasp spirit forms, it draws
it's arm back, about to strike, but as the arm descends a spectral wolf
flys past both Fenris and Lowe, pushing the wasp back and knocking it to
the floor. Fenris spins as the wasps flings the wolf across the room, it
hits the wall heavily, and yelps, but the wasp is vulnerable, Fenris
quickly releases his spell, the wasp screams, then fades to nothingness.)

Fenris: Othello, go for help...

Lowe: What's going on...

(As the wolf disappears, more wasp spirits begin appearing in the room,
Fenris kicks open the door just behind them and shoves Lowe through)

Fenris: They are after you... quick, go through the door opposite.

Lowe: What about you?

Fenris: I am wolf, I will fight!

(Apparently the matter is settled, Lowe hesistates only a couple of
seconds before moving towards the other door, then the screen splits,
half shows Fenris join with the spirits, ducking there blows as he blasts
one, the other, as Lowe gets half way across the room, two spirits
manifest before him, as he cowers from them, one is sliced open from head
to toe, the other crackles with arcane energy, both scream, then
disappear. Your attention is then drawn back to the other screen, Fenris
is almost overwhelmed, but then the tide of insects is thrown back as two
earth elementals appear, some of the other wasps in the room seem to be
fighting invisible opponents.)

Fenris: What the? That was quick!

(More wasps are forming, in both rooms, but Lowe has reached the other
door and opened it, within you can see many strange article, such as
drums and rattles, as Lowe enters two wasps throw themselves at him, and
he screams, falling backwards, however both are rebounded off the open
door, smoke rising from their arms. At the other end of the room, several
wasps are trying to get at Fenris' back, but each is cloven in half by an
unseen assailant, while Fenris and the elementals are slowly harvesting
the other group of spirits.)

+++++Emergency: Lifeform approaching

Fenris: Someone else is coming, hope it's a friend...

(From a second entrance in the projection room a human male, dressed in
gang leathers rolls into the room pointing his arm at a turning wasp
spirit, which disintergrates as energy wraps around it.)

Packman: Hoi Fenris.

Fenris: Hoi Packman.

Packman: Boss aint to happy at you, you're lucky only her astral body is
here chummer.

(At this Fenris winces, it appears there is at least one thing the orc
fears, it is obvious now that the wasps will lose, the extra firepower
that Packman offers allows them to quickly clean up the rest of the
spirits.)

Packman: Boss wants you to come in, so does the other broad.

(Fenris looks confused)

Packman: The elf mage, she brought the elementals, come to think of it,
she wasn't to happy about you taking off either.

Fenris: Hmm, is she devastatingly good looking...

Packman: yep.

Fenris: Oh dear, I am in trouble, Princess wouldn't take too kindly to
you calling her a broad either...

Packman: Hmmph, they buzzed, said they had to destroy the wimps thesis,
or something like that.

Fenris: Oh Lowe, all that misleading for nothing, he had a thesis,
anyway, I think he'll play ball now, I'll deliver him to Blitzkreig, he
can ask all the questions
