"Thank you all for gathering here, I know we're all restless ever since the invasion, First Thatch, then The Legacy.... I understand your frustrations, I understand your misgivings, I understand it all.... that is why I propose we abandon the renovations for White Berry facility for the next foreseeable future, Any objections?" Vince the Ebony Orc spoke.Cas, Cece, Lucy and what was left of the onsite team were attending a meeting in the war room, People were beaten, tired, Haggard, stressed out and worse! On top of all that They awaited Lady Eureka's verdict on the future of this facility but most had already decided it's fate in their hearts, the lack of opposition on Vince's proposal was proof of that.".... It is shame, This Facility once stood for something, It was a safe haven for unorthodox research as well as a rehabilitation centre for Our Clansmen who have lost.... the flavour for our work," Vince sighed."I'll inform Lady Eureka of our decision during the briefing tonight!

"...... That's where we keep the medical supplies!" Cas pointed to a cupboard in the corner of the room, "Pixie dust, Antibiotics, Antiseptic, Cotton, The whole package.... next is the-""Gym? Supply room? Lab? Bedrooms? Toilets? Engine room? Castor you've already me shown me these places..... TWICE! I know where everything is....." Lucy protested."Sorry...." was all Cas could muster."No.... I... I guess y'all don't fight that too Often, do you....?""......"Lucy propped herself off a desk, her legs hung from the side, She dangled them and swung them aimlessly as she stared round the vessel."I had..... Foster siblings growing up, Lots! we weren't really close and those I managed to form a connection to.... well, they got adopted by Folks who gave a crap about them soon after.... I... I was not so lucky....."Cas stared at her, Her green eyes filled with envy when she met his, "I'm...""Don't say sorry.... please don't say that.... it's kinda irritating when folks throw that word a

Malaki lay on his back, the force of his final blow on the Tentacled horror, extinguishing the last drop of adrenaline pulsing through his body, his flaming sword ceased it's glow. His people had fought well, he had fought well...... Despite the invader's technological advantages with their abhorrent creatures, versus his people’s old spell craft weapons they had won, they had repelled their invaders. As his bloodlust subsided, the reality of his situation began to set in. He glanced to either side of himself, blood-pooling around him, he would surely not survive. And yet, despite the dire situation he was in, he couldn’t help but smile to himself, Eae had always said he’d get himself killed sparring with his friends, or while fooling around on a hunt. He was glad he would die honourable, fighting for his people, fighting for her. He looked down at his wounds, those beasts… no, those things, had been relentless with their wild spinning clawed limbs. He counted no less than 50 gashes

'The beast was laughing, It jaws were clenched shut, It's face as still as water but it's eyes... the beast was laughing and Fauzer's party could do naught but run.It screamed, It's voice was like a thousand and one daggers stabbing violently into a rose tinted glass.It stomped, the impact enough to cause seismic shift, It stomped and stomped and stomped until the ground completely shattered below it, Fauzer and Milli made a mad scramble for the other side of the room-'Lucy screamed, desperately trying to claw at the edge of the room, Cas gave up half way, realizing it would be futile, he instead focused on trying to find a safe spot to land, The Storm Breaker's minions clambered upon the beast and the 4 of them made way, running along the walls to safety-'- Fauzer signaled Milli at the last minute, The Shinarian native bit her lips and nodded, she fished for her dagger and stabbed it in between a soft spot in the wall, Fauzer nodded, He looked down and found-'-A bed of snow, Fr

"What do you got there?" Castor asked, he peeked over Lucy's shoulder, "I think anything of value is probably long gone..."The mousey girl shook her head, "I k-k-know! but it won't hurt to still check! it's the Legacy.... they have to have some toys with them!" she licked her lips.'You know you look creepy when you do that?' he groaned but held his tongue.The mousey girl dug through the remains of the Stormbreaker's thralls, the vile things were littered all over the place, She searched their wrists for communicators or jewelry, their necks for translator collars , their feet for quick boots.... She came up with jack squat! "There's nothing here Lucy.... let's figure out a way outta this place, we fell pretty far down after all, wait how didn't break something on your way down here!? not that I'm disappointed but Jesus! that's almost a 20 foot drop!" he snapped.Lucy giggled, "Our friend over there took most of the impact," she pointed at the abhorrent abomination that had become
