[QUOTE="Zen_Pollo, post: 4657695, member: 11404"] [b]Epilogue[/b] [I]Setting:[/I] Outside the remains of Redmond High School a large semi-tractor trailer and several black Ares CityMasters were parked. One of the CityMasters had seen better days. A tall red-haired woman wearing a black trench coat and a shawl over her head directed crews loading several stretchers containing women in various stages of pregnancy into the trailer. Red was up way past her bedtime this evening. Usually the workaholic left the office around 10 pm and arrived home in time to plug into her Novatech Sleep-Inducer by 11pm. The sleep-inducer modulated Red’s brain activity so that she only required 4 hours of sleep to get a complete night’s rest. But on this particular night the salarywoman had received a call she could not send directly to voicemail. [I]I hope that wild bear I heard about on the news isn’t around here[/I], Red thought, [I]I should activate my hazard pay clause.[/I] Turning to the huddled group on the school’s stairway, Red glared at the source of her frustration, a handsome but callow elf named Alexander McQueen. Red felt like confronting him about the etiquette of calling one’s director at 1 am on a weeknight, but decided to let the matter go. After all, the salarywoman was witnessing the final proof of Tommy’s hypothesis. Red pondered the implications of Tommy’s outlandish conjecture, [I]So this hell hole must be the mythical ‘Farm’.[/I] [I]If the boogey-man that Tommy had obsessed about is real[/I], Red contemplated, [I]Then perhaps I should insert additional resources between me and Tommy’s Adversary?[/I] Red glanced once more at Alexander, [I]But can he be trusted?[/I] Two security guards dragged a nine-year old boy wrapped in a straight jacket and wearing plasteel restrainers into one of the armored vehicles. The boy kicked and screamed obscenities at the group on the stairway as the guards pushed him into the back of the CityMaster, “You’re DEAD, You slot-brained GLITCHES, I WILL KILL…” The boy’s curses were muffled as the guards closed the CityMaster’s door. [I]That one shows some promise[/I], Red smiled approvingly, [I]Perhaps I might have another option if this group proves unreliable.[/I] Red’s medical team had found the boy possessed both adept powers and bioware – somehow the Essence depleting effects of the bioware did not impede Theseus’s magical abilities.
