It was a good thing Samantha gave up on the contact, any longer and it was doubtful that they'd be eating while their food was still hot. "Coffee huh. I will be perfectly honest, I haven't figured out how the coffee maker works yet. Sorry, I think I'll have to leave that one to you." As she does her thing of making coffee Tobbi slips by her to find himself a glass and fill it with basic tap water. He listens as Samantha admits that it was time to not let her fears control her life. Something they both learned after... I really should stop thinking of the details while Sam's just got a bedsheet wrapped around her. Damnit, it's like finding out there wasn't a bra under her shirt. Damnit Tobbi stop thinking about it! Gods! Think about something stupid, like Duncan's face.

...

Sh*t I had sex with his sister. How am I gonna explain that. I gotta keep this on the down low until we figure out where this is going to go.

"I wasn't thinking of anything more specific than sometime today," Tobbi says as he shuts off the sink and joins her at the table. "Wasn't planning on staying there either, unless something came up that needed me. Not that I can think of a reason why they would," Bacon crunches in his mouth as he puts the other half down on his plate and picking up a fork to poke at his eggs over easy. "Not like I have connections or anything. ... I'll keep an eye on him when I do go, look for anything suspicious. He's my friend after all, in a roundabout kind of way. I want to know myself whether it's him or not."

"Duncan, I have good news and bad news. Good news is I'm like a brother to you now! Bad news is there's a chance you have a nephew on the way."

Duncan: WHAT?!
Tobbi: Haha just kidding, as a shaper it's a cinch to control my own fertility by controlling my energies. I'm my own birth control!
Duncan: So you've had practice at this.
Tobbi: ...
Duncan: ...
Tobbi: Uh-
Duncan: I'LL KILL YOU!

Vance: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Salem: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Duncan and Vance: *Menacing*
Knightmare: Okay, first of all. B!tch move.

"Its about time." Lester said as he sighed in relief as he went over to get his ID along with Aria.

After they got their IDs the two twins went over back to Kelly waiting for her to lead the way to Damien.

"Follow me please, we will be there soon now!" The robot enters the restricted area first, followed by the two mercs. The hall is a long one, empty and quiet except for the hum of the lights, slowly spinning ceiling fans, and the shutting and locking of the gate behind them. "Now that we are in a secure location, I can inform you of the job we are hiring you to help us complete!" Kelly exclaims. "The wind farm has been under siege by an organized raider group seeking to destroy our power supply. Without the turbines, there will be no power for the Fireworks to function, which would lead to the entire population of London freezing to death. The DPG needs your help to brave the wastes and find the raider leader and put them down for good!"

After following Kelly into the restricted area and once she had stopped to explain further details on their job Aria listened carefully to know the dangers of this job and what to do once they encounter these 'organized raiders' Lester however, looked unimpressed as he listened to Kelly talk about the organized raiders.

"Organized Raiders huh? Not much difference between them and regular raiders we face on a daily basis." Lester said.

"The DPG has nothing to worry about me and Aria can handle these raiders with no problems."

"We still need to be prepared though." Aria said as she looked back at Lester before turning to face Kelly.

"What else can you tell us about these Raiders?"

"The information we have in these raiders is limited. They are organized and uniformed in body armor lined with animal fur, all white using wolf and bear fur. We believe they are not from Albion originally. They are also well armed with old world weapons, which is the leading reason Damien believes they are not from old Britain. We are calling them Polar Raiders, because they wear arctic animal pelts."

Airspace over Yavarg Seazone, 7:13 AM

"I remember when I had first met you, when you were accompanying your mother during the Gannon conferences to rebalance infrastructure funding for the mountain cities. You were all of twelve when you had told me you wanted to be a politician when you grew up, just like your mother. And look at you now, fourteen years later and you are on the King of Zocom's council."

"Thank you, my King. I have been blessed by good opportunity and the best teachers."

"Don't sell your hard work short, that is the real reason you have progressed as far as you have. So, Ambassador Verris," Wuddy sighs as he crosses his legs, looking across the luxuriously designed meeting room aboard one of thr King's traveling vessels to the young man sitting in full ambassadorial uniform with a relaxed and friendly gaze that is gained from working in politics. One that he wears like he was born with it despite being so young. "How has the last 24 hours treated the Protectorate?"

"The main issue the Templar aggression. Amidst the human Zoconian population there is a state of confusion as regards why the fighting is happening and questioning our military presence, as the Templars aided in ending the civil war just two and a half weeks ago. Counter-Intelligence agencies co-opted by Loyalist and ComServ agents have been working to reduce propaganda spread and stop various plots to frame the non-human tribes for terrorist acts. Outside human cities there have been three active skirmishes, one continuing through the night. A Wabachan-led Mixed-OP Sept was deployed inside the Elven city of Daerwheirnam at 2312 hours," Verris continues as an earpiece that extends a little forward along his jaw projects the report in front of him. "They have experienced repeated assaults on the city over the last eight hours, their target being an Elven prince whose death would greatly destabilize their population. Unfortunately they are following the ILW (International Laws of War) regarding the legal bounds of an Internal Skirmish and Threat laws. We cannot send in any mechanized equipment or air support without escalating the conflict. And as they are sending human soldiers without Forgotten or War Clone support we cannot authorize usage of advanced troops. They have grown careful to abide by the laws of war."

"The fighting will end once I make contact with the Templar High Command and revoke their part in the treaty. When it is safe to remove this prince from the conflict, send an officer to open further talks with the elves. Rescuing a key member of their nobility should open the door to further cooperation."

"It will be done, my King. Further military activity in Zocom is limited to patrols and provincial defenses and garrisons. The Templar Order seems to be reorganizing for a larger scale attack in the near future."

"How have the Dragoons been performing?"

"As Dr. Dume theorized, the Dragoon pilots are rapidly harmonizing with the magic circuits. The initial lack of progress was due to lack of familiarity of casting magic through the suit. On average, the one hundred Dragoons have experienced Assessment growths of 264%. Sixteen have experienced growth over 500%. Due to the Dragoon armor drawing its power and weaponry from the Domain of Energy, the pilots are able to operate far longer with little to no mana usage. If only non-magical beings could make use of this armor."

A thought occurs to Wuddy, a series of reports he has received regarding the Lord Commander of the Dragoons, a soldier who had started as a Zone Raider and risen through the ranks at an alarming rate. "Tell me about Alex Argent."

"The Lord Commander, his harmonization rate with his Dragoon is highly abnormal." Verris' display changes to Alex Argent's files, which have grown considerably since the war. "Over a two week period his Assessment has grown 2,692%, and has stabilized over the last three days. Mental processes per second have surpassed his Zone AI five days ago while piloting the Dragoon."

"So he is not evolving through the Zoconian method."

"Correct, my King."

"Schedule through Zoconian channels for him to meet with his Dragoon team and members of Dr. Dume's research team. He is ready for the advanced tests."

"It will be done, my King."

OOC: Hoho, making use of Alex and even making some Elven nobility to move for more races to join the mix. What are you up to?

"Friends don't have to like each other to be friends," Tobbi responds matter of factly as he continues eating. "Not that I don't like him. We hung out while you were training in Zocom. I guess it all changed after that one night. Scotti told me he said he figured out a way to get rid of Vengeance for good, but... Well, it didn't work. Vengeance was always a pain, but after that he was different. A lot bolder, and a lot more dangerous. Him trying to kill me being a good example. Duncan didn't seem to remember saying anything about it either. Either way I don't blame him."

On the note of Friends not having to really like each other to get along, Samantha could at least understand that. She's come to know afew people like that back in Zocom as she was restoring her parents old estate. Though to hear that Duncan had a plan to get rid of Vengeance and then Vengeance suddenly went all psycho and got worse, she drew her own conclusions on that situation. "Maybe he came close? Vengeance getting really violent might have been his way of retaliating to nearly losing? I mean we already felt him throw a sector nuking hissy fit that would have killed all of us. Still... It's kinda weird. From the few interaction's I've had with it, it was more calm and collected, acting like it always had the upper hand. Whatever Duncan did must have really shaken it up bad to make it act like... Well... A characterture of its former self." Even as she says that though, the only thing that didn't make sense about her theory would be Duncan forgetting about the saying all of that... If anything a failed attempt would be the perfect thing to lord over him. So it sort of blows her theory out of the water in that regard.

"Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, if this Heimrich guy is to be believed." Tobbi takes a glug of his water before finishing his eggs. "Though if he's gone this far, I don't think he's trying anything shady. Scotti had said he has a technique that was impossible to follow that he could have killed Vengeance with, but he didn't, and he didn't use it again. He probably hates the bug too, since Vengeance was tricking him all these years. I dunno. It's all water under the bridge at this point." He finishes off the half piece of bacon from earlier with a shrug. "We can't stop him from doing his weird sword thing, so there's nothing we can do except see where this all goes."

Tobbi when he first was made: Haha I make jokes and act like a kid haha so goofy!
Tobbi now:

You wanna know why I'm always smilin
The jokes aren't for you, they're always meant for me
Because I'm giving it my all just to avoid the scream
Its the end of my dream let me set the scene

Four nine nine and I wake up too l-eight
Walking in a new world to which I can't relate
Lost without my landmark can't see the dragon's gate
Forced to ask the question is this to be my fate

Gotta get a grasp with my last gasp gonna make it mine
Be such an easy task to make it rewind the hands of time
I'm joking I'm coping it's just the way I work
Its either skip along or I taste that dirt

I got the sis and the crew and the master with me
I got everybody here who else do I need
The one they never knew she's gone dust in the breeze
Her memory is the only thing I could take with me

It's the reason why when I win it isn't when it matters
It's the reason when I'm needed most I'm the one that shatters
It's the reason you look away the second that I stagger
Origin's breakin', gettin' bit by the spiders

There's nothing left on earth that can make me bleed
Just watch the ink splatter, that's when you'll see
I am the eclipse, the night's made of me!
This mountain of venom is here waiting to feed!

Send in all of your demons! Send in all of your gods!
All your sacrifices! They will never be enough!
Feed my blood lust! I remain unbroken!
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO BREAK, THE SPIDER HAS SPOKEN!

~

Whether you're a woman or a dragon I no longer give a damn
You'll find out quick that I'm not the same man
I died that day when you encased me in crystal
Forced to live in hell every second I miss her!

Two thousand years trying to think of a reason
What's the point of livin' if all I got is killin'!
There's not a single skill that I can stick to my name
But if you need a slaughter I hear Tobbi's got fame

This is what is left for me and I don't even want it
Give a ticket back sell my soul you know you got it
There's not a person that can make me change my mind
I can't forget that gold love but I can say goodbye

I am a traitor!
Can't you see I wasn't born to be a player!
Turn your back and there's no one left to save ya!
Get that gold out of my head!
I'm not going to pretend!
The man's already dead!
THERE'S NOTHING BUT THE HATRED AND THE HATRED KILLS AGAIN!

There's nothing left on earth that can make me bleed
Just watch the ink splatter, that's when you'll see
I am the eclipse, the night's made of me!
This mountain of venom is here waiting to feed!

Send in all of your demons! Send in all of your gods!
All your sacrifices! They will never be enough!

Then the morning comes, and I return to my senses

...

I'm the number one threat, it's a common consensus

...

The people want my head, nothing else is new

...

It's the same song and dance, with a new gold tune...
