'I agree the faceless sound like a challenge. If it come to fighting I can most definitely hold my own.'

[Dreamstalker]

"Personally, these faceless things sound like an interesting challenge. I'm passable at stickfighting and archery but not great with that much else."

Atlanta
They take the transport out, the system being as disorienting and nauseating as ever, and get a quick airlift to the site. There are maybe a dozen agents at the scene already, aside from the trio he's with, and they're trying to set up a perimeter, but are having difficulties due to the nature of the EN.

One of a pair who approach the building suddenly screams, and both fall back to what has apparently been deemed a safe distance. As they get close, it becomes easy to see the red and purple dots covering the screaming agent's hands, neck, and face, with his reaction suggesting that they're covering the rest of his body as well. Another good hint of that is the way he and a couple others are frantically swatting spiders off of him.

The spiders appear entirely mundane outside of the fact that at least three dozen were on that one man.

Josiah/Mr. Clark, meanwhile, followed his two Senior Agent escorts off toward the troubles in Atlanta, hoping he wasn't walking into either an episode of Hellboy 2 or worse, Aliens.

Room 379
Black's sitting back and listening with his fingers steepled, though his attention is clearly focused more on Solyn's reactions than Fred's story.

[Kheldarson]

Loren sinks into a seat and starts shifting in it as Fred lists off what he sees.

Meanwhile, Solyn seems to be paying attention, most noticeably gasping as he describes the scene of Black and the woman in front of the grave.

[Mytical]

Fred starts describing in as much detail as possible what he saw. Right now he is not focusing on remembering the small flashes, just the main images he witnessed.

[Kheldarson]

Solyn walks back in, hands in the pockets of her coat. "If you're still calm, then you're good. And they get to design their own punishment. Let's see them put their creativity to use."

Loren looks up at her frowning. "Wouldn't that get them an easier punishment?"

"Not if the alternative is me reporting this up the chain."

[KabeRinnaul]

Room 379
"You're fine to start whenever you want. And while I may be older than I look, I'm nowhere near that old. And I don't need to make anything up here, this thing is weird enough by itself. I just know it so well because I read the reports on it. I read all the reports, by the way. No such thing as useless information."

[Mytical]

"Hope this Solyn is not too hard on them, after all they did not force me to touch the item. I am ready to begin deciphering whenever, just want the all clear before I do."

[Sarlon]

Sarah rolls her eyes a little to obviously at black's comment about talking to much, but waits to hear what fred has to say, closing her eyes to keep concentration. She snickers at Loren's comment, "but hes funny to listen to....hes got this naselly tinge to his voice when he starts to make up a story..."

Sarah opens one eye and looks right at Black, "tell us oh fearless leafer, when god said let there be light did you say 5 more minutes? or did you help with the wiring?"

[Kheldarson]

"I vote no more listening to Black, personally." Loren pokes at the watch with a pencil she picked up somewhere.

[KabeRinnaul]

Room 379
Dr. Rose retrieves a small digital recorder for Fred before being dragged out by Solyn. Black sits watching the relic slowly spin on its chain. "Well, any time you want to start. Though I have to admit, bad idea or not, I'm very curious as to what happens when that guy touches it." He points at Agent Newton. "As for what happened here, two ex-Harmonics researches did what Harmonics researchers always do: they found a new toy, and decided to see what would happen if they combined it with something hideously dangerous. And while 'I wanted to see what would happen' is considered a perfectly valid excuse in R&D, it's generally preferred you not indulge in anything too terribly stupid in the process. They failed on that second point when they put an infinitely ancient relic that gives people visions of the future into the hands of someone who has visions of the future. At this point I suppose we're either waiting for Fred to start describing what he saw, or for me to talk for a while about the Prometheus Relic because who doesn't want to hear me talk, or to find out what Solyn's going to do to those two guys."

[Kheldarson]

"Then don't listen to those two idiots." She stands up and barks at the two researchers in question. "You two! Office! Now!" The three head off.

Loren peers after them. "What just happened there?"

[Mytical]

Fred smiles "That is much better, thanks. Don't want to do that again ever, however."
