[QUOTE="talien, post: 5121058, member: 3285"] [b]The Jaded Temple: Conclusion[/b] Tau and Morris were handed over to a Majestic safe house, where they would disappear into the bowels of special interrogation rooms. There was little doubt that what remained of Tiger Transit would be ruined. Either through the reconstituted hard drives or Mok Bin Tau's personal knowledge of their operations, Tiger Transit was mortally wounded – a weakness it could not afford in the cutthroat world of drug cartels. A van picked them up. "What were you able to find out Guppy?" asked Hammer. Guppy reviewed his cistron. His face was still smudged with dirt from the explosion. "The scrolls were written during the Tang or Song Dynasties and may have originated from an oral tradition handed down during the Hsia Dynasty. They took the form of riddles, prophecies, parables, and rituals passed down from the Heavens to the Emperor." "I've heard of these scrolls. Confucius was said to be the last man said to have read all seven scrolls. The originals have been lost for centuries," said Archive. "Together, the Seven Scrolls detail the key to the cycles of reincarnation and to the Heavens," added Guppy. "Each scroll supposedly imparts certain levels of knowledge and they build upon one another, so that one cannot master the secrets of the seventh scroll without having read the first six." "Interesting," said Hammer. "Not sure what this invocation is but it can't be good." "It's a ritual of reincarnation," said Archive. "Whatever Cho Chu-Tsao's planning to wake up, it's already dead." "It also seems like Tiger Transit broke off relations with Dawn Biozyme and instead started a dialogue with Hunt Electronics," said Guppy. "Something about similar research." Hammer sighed. "We know all about that. Don't we Jimmy?" Jim-Bean, who seemed to be in a daze, snapped out of it. "Huh? Oh yeah, red flowers." "Buckle up boys," said Hammer. "We got the GPS coordinates from Tau. We're going in tonight." "Right now?" asked Caprice. "I think I may be poisoned." Hammer nodded towards Archive. "Archive can fix you up. We're going in hard and fast. Just us – Sprague's still not willing to commit resources to a mission that doesn’t have a clear threat, but he's banking everything on the intelligence we got from Armbruster." He looked meaningfully at Jim-Bean, but his companion didn't notice. "Wait," said Caprice. "If we're going to Alulu Island RIGHT NOW… "That means we're going via SPIDER transport." "Damn it!"
