olbrieg grunts as the elevator grinds to a halt. kriegs presence has faded, and the gararge door opens exposing a headtaker standing beside a personell carrier.

"i am sent here by lord causton to assists professor thaes...please enter the apc and lets go

[Armoured Priest]

He stows away the vial and syringe before he moved from the elevator with the ghoul queen. "Good, lets all go, as in now." Thaes said as he escorted Cyera to the Apc's door.

[Thugren]

Cyera slaps your hand away as if offended and steps in .

The silencers follow as olbrieg stands.

" thaes... A moment of you time."

[Armoured Priest]

".....You'er going to punch me in the face, aren't you?" Thaes asked as he stayed near olbrieg, but not getting closer. He had enough surprise jabs in the face for one day, and was hoping to advoid more.

[Thugren]

olbrieg sighs.

"thaes if i wante to see you harmed i wouldve thrown you to that madman downstairs...Breathe friend..It is a warning.."

[Armoured Priest]

"Sorry, after the things that happened today, my sense of self preservation is running hot right now." Thaes said with a shrug. "What do you wish to warn me about though?" he asked him, curious but dreading as well.

[Thugren]

olbrieg watches warily.

"be careful...Krieg has shown his teeth...and they are longer than i couldve expected....We cannot...Cannot let him get cyera...or we will have to go to the final protocol... and we do not want that."

[Armoured Priest]

"Ah huh, do I even want to know what the final protocol is?" he asked Olbrieg. He wasn't going to let cyera be taken away, he would see to that. But he was too curious to not ask what the protocol was to simply let it go either.

[Thugren]

" the final protocol is something noctourne his the moment she got her hands on Cain..it's a very old and dangerous ghoul. One not created by her but predates inception day... Synced to his blood. If all our failsafes fail we will awaken it."

[Armoured Priest]

"Hm, the creature sounds interesting, but against my curiosity, we better be successful with this new plan." Thaes said. "Shall we leave now?" he asked Olbrieg. "Or are you good for travel?" he added.

[Thugren]

He shakes his head.

" I cannot leave noctourne like this. Kriegs attack was too perfect , to calculated. I will stay behis for now."

He turns and walks back into the facility leaving you there alone.

[Armoured Priest]

Thaes simply shrugs. "Well, this should be an interesting journey." he said to himself before turning around and headed to the APC. He put on his helm as well now, it powering back on as it connected itself to the power and data cables.

[Thugren]

The silencers sit without a word , forming up around cyera as the Headtaker closes the hatch.

" we will be going deep Into Nebraska thaes.... We have to reunite cyera with her latent norn node..

Cyera smiles, clapping her hands

" oh it has been so long since I've been home ... I wish freya was here though ..."

[Armoured Priest]

"The sooner we can get you there, the better then." he said as he took a seat close to the hatch and waited for the APC to start moving. "And less chances for suprises, at least I hope so." he said to himself, keeping the flap of his holster loose for now.

[Thugren]

The apc rolls silently as cyera looks at you.

" so thaes... Why is the son of the rebellious kin working with us ?"

[Armoured Priest]

Thaes shook his head from his own silent thoughts before he looked at her. "Do you care enough to listen a short story, or is it just a fleeting curiousity madam? He asked her with a raised scaly brow, not sure why she even cared to ask.

[Armoured Priest]

Blargh

[Thugren]

Humor me pale one we've a long drive

[Armoured Priest]

He sighed silently in his helm, not liking the subject in which he was about to delve into. "In the more predatory varghen tribes, those considered weak are usually culled quiet quickly by the elements or even ghouls. If they survive though, they are deemed well enough to let stay in the tribe." he started to explain.

"But there are somethings that are outright abhored." His tone becoming a bit darker. "A normal albino animal would either die at a young age either by a predator because it could not hide, or starve because it could not hunt. The same thought process was in most varghen as well." he continued. "Not only that, but they were also very superstitious, the white pale skin and red eyes are seen as an ill omen." He explained.

"My mother......thought differently. She kept me a secret for awhile, knowing I would be forced out if known. She was the medicine woman of the tribe and she teached me what she could." He said as some memories started to play in his head a small smile crept up on his face behind the white helm. But then it quickly fades away. "Then, someone found out, and went to the chieftan. Since she had an important role in the tribe, they spared her. But they tied me up and transported me blindfolded far off away from the settlement. Told me if I somehow get back, they wouldn't so merciful." he said as he readjusted himself in the seat, his tail somewhat getting in the way.

"Found my way to a mixed varghen village set up in what seemed to be a town built before inception day, where they let me in, barely, and thanks to what I learned I was set up at one of few people able to handle the limited medical supplies, even though I was just past ten I think. I found alot books, news, an recording then. It help me realize something." he said quietly, as if his revelation he found back then was happening again. "With all the mutegens, advancments in the field biology in response to the ghouls swarms, Evolution was no longer a set of rules that creatures had to follow like the tribe had or many others have, it had become a tool, a tool I want to use." he said, almost in a growl.

"Oh siht expidition found me then, saw me as an oddity worth studying for the varghen research. Took me back and saw how well I was able to understand many advance concepts." he continued. "I'm not sure what got here attention first, but I soon had a meeting....with nocturne. She offered and I bowed and accepted it. Since then, she has help me aquire things I need and I do my best to help her with what she needs." He finished. He was silent for awhile before he said something. "One might say I see her as a mother." he said sincerly but quietly. That was the first time he admitted to it, might as well be her sister.

[Thugren]

" Noctourne always was intruiged by the outcasts. Hence why she clung to Augustus . She sees the potential in people before they even know she has it."
