When he broke contact and the whip let her go she fell to her knees gasping for air and choking. Her staff retracted in her hand and she laid on the ground panting and trying to put air into her burning lungs as consciousness seemed almost gone.

The darkness and cold of the water was doing my thermal vision no favours.

I need to reasses and regroup. Maybe the others will be willing to help. Strength in numbers. And the... Reptilinod? He's going to need to be watched. No matter what the infection, strength of will alone will not help him resist.

I exit the water, armour plates retracting into me. The Reptilinod's memories were incomplete at best. I had not consumed his whole form and the memories were jumbled and filled with gaps.

His abilities, however... There seemed to be enough genetic material that, with time and training, I might have a new weapon to add to my arsenal...

"Yeah, I think I would've chosen a better name myself. Could be worse." Fiona looks at the Helmacron for a moment, then shrugs. "Ku it is, then." This was the most she'd enjoyed a conversation in awhile. "What brings you here, Ku? Can't be the ambience," she says looking around the bar. "...Or the service." She looks pointedly at the bartender who, of course, ignores her.

Fredrick was severely weakened. fortunately this lake seemed deep. Dark. There were caves here. He could rest. Unfortunately it seemed that one of them had jumped after him. He was coming. Pariah. That was his name. It seemed his body could consume things. Fredrick would have to keep his distance.

Could Pariah breathe underwater? Did he need to? Fredrick swam as well as he could away from Pariah. He had the ability to drill spikes through the earth. He was powerful. Fredrick's servant stood no chance against him.

<It is pronounced /kyoo/. And no, I did not come here to observe the aura if that is what you mean...as annoying and embarrassing as it is, I needed to come here because my ship ran out of fuel. And you will not tell anyone else I said that!>

[Chad32]

A voice echoed in Vogefac's head. Your soul belongs to The One. Do not resist. Serve The One. Enter the Circle of Sacrifice. You will be restored.

The voice spoke in his head, and only he could hear. but it also began speaking to Pariah. He consumed part of Vogefac, and part of the dark energy was inside him now. Talking to them. Coaxing them.


<What kind of fuel to Helmacron ships use?> Claxter asked quietly.

[Stephquiem]

"Of course, of course," Fiona says, waving a hand. "God forbid. Someone might be inclined to help." She shudders dramatically. "Though I don't know how you plan to leave if you haven't got any fuel."

[Myitt]

"Temrash!" Corliss cries, unable to move and unsure if anyone is still even in the ship.  "What's going on out there?"

---

Myitt smirks at Tora.  "Right, you're going to detonate it from inside the ship, and I'm going to stand here and make sure you get out all right.  Then we run as fast as our little legs can go.  All right?"

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver couldn't clear her mind. Something was wrong. What had she been doing? She shook her head as she laid on the edge of the water nd tried to keep even breaths. Her eyes were distant and somewhat not completely there. As if she were looking into space.

[RAFrukh]

Vogefac heard a voice in his head...which was not completely strange, being telepathic...but this voice rang with all the evil that had surrounded him, controlled him.

Your soul belongs to The One-One-One. Do not resist-sist-sist. Serve The One-One-One. Enter the Circle of Sacrifice-fice-fice. You will be restored-stored-stored.

It was the Vampire, Vogefac reasoned. Had to be. He forced it out of his mind. There was a part of him that would never be free of the influence the Vampire exerted over him. He could not be sure if it was just an echo from the remnant, or the Vampire was still alive. And he wasn't about to look like a fool in front of those he had already wronged, injuring them physically.

He turned to the Girl, "Will you forgive me for the terrors I have done to you?"
He turned to the Metamorph, "And you? Will you forgive me?"


I looked around. I scowled a sideways frown.

This...Fiona was nothing if not persuasive.

<Yes...well...we were hoping to find some chlorophyl, saline, and...a gravitational compression device...but I guess you're right. I will have to ask around for one.>

[KitsuneMarie]

Tora's mouth slowly curves into a smile, and she feels the thrill of adrenaline beginning to flood her body. "Alright." She turns towards then ship and then stops, looking back at Myitt with a smirk. "The next ship I obtain, I sorely hope to outfit it with thought-speak computer command abilities, if only for the purpose of being able to command a self destruct with the benefit of two extra legs to use as I run away in terror."

[Chad32]

"Everything is fine, Corliss. Some strange Human was attacking terenia, but the other bar denezins chased him off. She morphed, so she'll be fine." Temrash said. She looked wiped, which wasn't really surprising. He placed her on the floor, and got a cushion to put under her head. He also brought out a light blanket to put over her.

[Midnight_Huntress]

She looked to both creatures nd blinked a couple times. "Forgive?" She asked a little confused. "Terrors?" She couldn't think straight.

[BaronConall]

Your soul belongs to The One. Do not resist. Serve The One. Enter the Circle of Sacrifice. You will be restored.

It was that damned Vampire, it had to be. The fraction of the Reptilinod that I consumed was in me and now, presumably, what ever the Vampire had done to him was in me. I focused on the Reptilinod's memories and gene sequence, a part of me reaching out to it's knowledge of telepathy.

{Nice...try...} I strain, the new mindset still being wholly alien to me. I could barely use the telepathy of the thing. It would be months before I could even hope to access the rest of what it could do... Unless I consumed the rest of it... Or more of them... {The...lizard's...mind...is...one ...of...thousands within...me...} DAMN this takes focus!
{Your...voice may...as...well...b e...a...whisper...d rowned...out...by.. .thousands of others...} I tell the thing, {But now...I'm linked...to...you.. .as...well...Will.. .make...finding you...easier...}

I can manage no more. The effort is beyond my current capabilities.

The Reptilinod has made it's way over to me. I notice the girl lying on the ground, dazed. "Are you okay? Do you know where you are?"
The Reptilinod is talking, asking for forgiveness. I tap my temple, "Your mind is within me now. I know you were being controlled and I know that, to some degree, you still are. I'm putting a hold on your apology until we know that thing is out of your head."

[RAFrukh]

The girl seemed extremely disoriented. I could not help but blame myself for all this. I could've killed the Vampire when I had the chance.

"Forgive?" She asked a little confused. "Terrors?"

"I slashed your face...I telepathically harmed you so that the Vampire could attack you and finish you off without being harmed himself. Many would say...I helped him 'violate' you, if you know what I am referring to. I must beg your forgiveness."
