>>>>>[Morning Boss -- Thought this might be of interest to you.
+++++ Include Helmet Download
The scene begins with a dim shot of Kor's face. Deeply tanned worry lines
etched in his face contradict the smile that playfully dances across his
face.
"Hey, Freddy, I found your kids...I figured that I would get all suited up
and go and have a talk with them. I thought that you might like to see
video rather than getting a report. I'm going to ditch the rover here
and make my grand entrance in a couple minutes. Im planning on going
in invisibly. Hold on...standard procedure...
Icons slowly begin to materialze in your viewing area and are just as
slowly moved to the sides and expanded. In the upper left icon expands to
show heart rate and blood pressure. The lower left icon shows another set of
vitals, far too fast to be human, labeled Castor and Pollux.
The helmet cam whips to the right to show a view of the back of the rover and
two Hell Hounds.
"Castor, Pollux, Omwia"
Both of the hounds perk up, one looks attentively into the camera, while the
other seems more curious than anything else.
"Ninwia"
"You arent likely to be able to keep them apart, I cant either without
checking their auras, so dont get confused when they go into action."
"Astral check...back in a bit. Castor, Pollux Omwia, Fia-el"
The vitals for both hounds begin to race while Kor's seem to slowly drop.
Seconds tick by quickly and Kor's vitals return slowly to normal.
"Umm, Freddy -- I just checked the kids out. Nothing horrible but
one of them is a mage. Im going to take this a little slower than I had
originally planned to. I was just going to go in there and scare the piss
out of them and come home but if that kid is an untrained mage I dont want
to get him started off on the wrong foot, if you know what I mean."
"Time for a show...Castor, Pollux Fia-el. Ill be sub-vocalizing from here
out. It might be hard for you to understand some of what I say. Dont
worry. I going to turn on the exteral pickup, not so much for you, but
for myself...do you have ANY idea how hard it is to hear with one of these
things on?"
The camera lowers until you have a good view of each of the six boys' faces.
They seem to just be standing around for the sake of just standing around.
"The smaller one with the beer is the one who is active, others are mundane"
The conversation continues over such topics as cars, girls, and the quest
for more beer.
Kor: "You'd think they would have something better to talk about...Oh shit,
variable adjustment...non-hostile on the scene"
Man: "Hey, get off my property, you hoodlums". The camera turns quickly to a
older gentleman walking slowly and determinedly towards the youngsters.
"I said get off of my property."
Kid 1: "Fuck you, old man. Jimmy, turn him into a newt or something"
Kor: "Ung"
The smaller of the boys begins to intently stare at the old man. His eyes snap
open and immediately registers shock.
Kor: "Shielding in place -- This one is not as 'untrained' as I thought"
Jimmy: "What the fuck, he's still standing."
Kor: "Hounds are on their way in, Ill drop the invis for maximum effect"
The camera jostles quite a bit as Kor moves into position behind the boys who
are now advancing on the old man, one flourishes with a butterfly knife.
Knife Boy: "Im going to rip you a new asshole, old man"
The man turns to run just as one of the hell hounds enters the view of the
camera.
Kor: "Kill them all and feast upon their still beating hearts my children"
Your view of the hell hound is obstructed as the boys spin around and obviously
come face to face with Kor.
Kor: "Your choices are simple, you can leave peacefully and not return
or I can allow that dog there to tear your faces off."
Knife boy: "Where the HELL did you come from?"
Kor: "Didnt your mother and father tell give you that story already? Im
waiting for an answer. He has marked his territory and you are
standing in it. I suggest you leave now"
The boys reflexively look down then back up at Kor. The active one is the
only exception...he stares straight ahead, eyes fixed and partially glazed.
Kor: "Oh no you dont..."
A howl can be heard from behind the boys and the video cuts abruptly.
+++++ End video
I arrested the entire lot of the fuckers. Im sure they will be out in a
few hours. I had something a little more pressing to deal with. The old man
fraggin' had a heart attack when Castor appeard behind him. No, Im not
joking, full cardiac arrest. He wasnt wearing a bracelet for DocWagon (do you
even have 'Wagon here?) so I patched him up and motor'd him to the nearest
MedFac. Nearly hosed that one up. This security guard thing is just
not my cup of tea...When do I get to go out to the training facility?
