[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 1489472, member: 184"] [B]Washington[/B] “Next, we have a young woman by the name of Jennifer Laroux. She has the unique ability to turn her body into a mass of ice crystals.” A few at the table raise their eyebrows at Clark’s announcement. “She’s ex-Army and a professional mountain climber, as well as spokesperson for Summit Outfitters, a company that specializes in mountaineering and skiing gear. She will be useful in any missions that take place in mountainous terrain, as well as coordinating team tactics. Her choice of career shows that she has little fear, something that is quite helpful in this line of work, not to mention her time in public relations.” “She was the one that was buried for two weeks on K2 in January, right?” Jennifer asks. “That must have been horrible. Are you certain this is something she’ll want to do after an experience like that?” “Yes, it was likely quite traumatic, but it has been nearly six months. We believe she’s the right person for the job. All we can do is offer the spot to her,” Senator Weldon responds. [B]Denver, Colorado[/B] [I]0800 hours, MDT, Thursday, July 10th, 2014[/I] It’s cold, bitterly cold. The wind howls, blowing snow about, but Jennifer doesn’t mind it, she’s gotten used to cold the past few years she’s spent climbing. Hanging from a sheer wall of rock, she looks up at the ledge she’s trying to reach. Ready to swing a hand up to grab the ledge, something in your mind tells you to leave, just leave, you don’t want to be here. You shake your head and dismiss the sudden fear. She wings her hand up, and grabs the ledge. There’s an easier way for you to do this, of course, but you prefer to do it the old-fashioned way, that’s the only way there’s any challenge, after all. As you begin to pull yourself up, you hear a distant boom, and odd sound in this remote location. You want to just dismiss it as well, but that feeling of fear returns. Run! Flee! Get away, now!! You shake your head wondering where this silly irrational fe…you don’t even get to finish that thought, as everything suddenly turns to slow motion. You look up and all you can see is white. You stare at it, realizing what that voice was trying to tell you. The snow hits with incredible force and drags you from the ledge. You begin to change form, but it’s already too late. You can feel the snow piling higher and higher above you… You wake up, in bed. You sit up quickly, drenched in sweat, as is often the case lately. The nightmare again, you can’t seem to escape it. Beams of morning light shine through the cracks in the curtains. You look at your alarm clock, 8:07. The television is still on; the news is talking about something to do with the elite terrorist group, Pantheon. You realize you have less than an hour a member of the government comes calling about a job offer today. [/QUOTE]
