Dark*Matter, Discovery: Pushing for Impeachment

Diego searches around, nervously, unsure what to do. She's gone? Taken ... or disintegrated? Enemies at least we could fight. But when people just start to dissappear ...

This is troubling, Z texted back to Cade. The interference is getting worse out here, more than can be explained by the weather. We might lose out OSIRS uplink soon, unless I can get a signal boost.

"Excuse me, but what is going on here? Shouldn't you be working on the electronics?"
the agent guarding the door said, walking towards the group. He glanced towards the mirror.

The lights went out for an instant, and there was a horrific scream. In the other realm, Meredith felt a brief wrenching, caught a brief glimpse of a secret service agent hurtling towards her, and then suddenly found herself back in the living room in the real world as the lights came on. The Secret Service agent was gone.
 

"Well that tear it! Joker, you have a location on the senator? Whatever that thing was it's starting to piss me off." To Meredith he signals were her gear is hidden.
 

"Is," says Cade as he checks his PDA's motion sensor, to see if the senator, or at least the same number of folk, are in the right location. "Was implies it's gone, which it ain't."

At the same time, Cade will check to see if Z is still online with him, or if that dropped, too.
 


"Hell," Meri swore when the guard disappeared.

"It's the mirrors! There's something behind them that can use them as portals...draw you through when you look at them! It's been sucking up the agents one by one, and I'm sure that's how it's planning on getting the real target."

"The other side looks like...sort of like here, only wrecked. Like a reflection of the house in Hell."

She swings her gaze around each of her teammates. "We need to get the Senator somewhere that there's no mirrors or reflective surfaces, and then confront this thing before it can strike some other way. Do you guys have the gear?"
 

The remaining two secret service agents burst into the room from opposite doors. "Down on your knees, hands in the air!" one shouted at the agents, at the same time as the door to the senator's office opened.

Senator Cook strode into the living room. "What's going on out here?" she demanded of the agents of both agencies.

"Ma'am, please get back in your room. We're at critical red here!" the Agent said, keeping his gun leveled at Team Libra.
 

"Woa there buddy. No need to point the hardware this way. All I know is that you're buddy just disspeared. I don't know what kind of frealy :):):):) is going on here, but we got nothing to do with it." Larry tries to dazzle the men with his fast talk while the rest of Team Libra decides what to do.
 

"That may be so, sir," the agent said, keeping the gun levelled at the team. "But until we know what's going on, all non-authorized personnel will have to be restrained."

The other agent was moving around, to get a better angle to cover the team, stepping in front of the mirror as he did so.
 

Meredith raises her hands, not needing to act to look frightened. Not so much of the guns, but of the fact that they were basically all having this discussion with the Senator in the room with what was effectively a mystical time bomb.

She glanced at the agent in front of the mirror. Was he blocking it enough? Could he be reached through it if he didn't look? There was too much they didn't know!

"We're just here to do our jobs," she says shakily. "We're not murderers. I...think I saw what happened though. I can't explain it...I don't know how or why it happened, but...I saw."
