The Next Generation

[Lady Jenn]

"Let me show her," Nicole said, walking gingerly over. "I won't harm you, but you and...whatever it is need to understand what is happening."

"My mind has been invaded enough for one lifetime," Clint said grumpily as he tried to reach out again to the creature. "I don't know who you mean, but I will help if I can, we do not have much time however."

[Lawshenk]

"cypher "! Said the voice

[Lady Jenn]

"I can link with her," Cypher said. "Sorry Clint, I hear people's thoughts whether I want to or not." She closed her eyes, reaching out to the creature. "We cannot talk long, I sense something bad is waiting."

[Lawshenk]

" I am sorry to leave I can't be stuck with her again!"

[Lady Jenn]

"Let me show her," Nicole said to Cypher. "That...thing needs to understand what we're walking into."

"Allow me," Cypher said, removing a glove and placing it to Nicole's head, reeling at the image she was sending to the spirit. It was a barely lit room, every inch of the wall lined with stasis pods filled with humanoid figures. "What the hell is this?" she asked Nicole.

"The vault," Nicole replied. "We thought Carreyra was stealing powers for himself...he isn't, he's building an army. If this vault empties he has an army not even the Corps at full strength would stand a chance of fighting."

[Lawshenk]

" Gerri can't help and nor can I even together we are too weak

[Lady Jenn]

"We can't fight it without you," Cypher said, sounding more angry than she had intended. "And she will die without you. Whatever my feelings may be I will not be responsible for her death." She severed the link, feeling her emotions welling up, and turned to Yuri. "We'll have to do it without them, there has to be a way to stop this."

"Leave Carreyra to me," Sky said, standing gingerly but refusing the help of Clint. "Yuri will need to help you with the vault and if Geri can't help...none of the rest of you stand a chance. If you cannot shut down the stasis pods, you use the explosives I gave you."

"Explosives?" Clint said, shocked. "You didn't mention anything about explosives."

"Because I hoped we could fix it without needing it," Sky replied. "By the sounds of it we may not have options."

[Lawshenk]

Gerris eyes flickered for a moment " coffee in my bag pour it in the status it will screw clones DNA " she looked at  cypher and mouthed love you to het

[Lady Jenn]

"It's worth a try," Yuri said after a moment, scratching his chin. "But we'll have to get past Carreyra's guards first."

"Cypher can help you with that," Sky said. "Her powers won't work on the main man, she'll be more use for getting you to the Vault."

[Lawshenk]

Gerri Goans

[Lady Jenn]

"We need Geri's powers," Clint said. "We can't do it without them."

"Well, she's not going to help us," Cypher snapped before she realised how she sounded. "I'm sorry Clint, but I cannot make that creature help us. If the image Nicole showed us wouldn't convince it nothing will." She felt the plane beginning to go downwards. "It feels like we're going to have to jump into action in a second anyway."

[Lawshenk]

(( crap at fighting))

Gerri started toglow

[Lady Jenn]

"Wait," Clint said as the plane began to land, having caught sight of what was happening out of the corner of his eye. "Geri, what's happening?" he asked telepathically, unsure what response he was expecting but suddenly aware everyone else was looking at him intently.

[Lawshenk]

Gerri looked at clint her eyes glowing brightly " just go"

[Lady Jenn]

"We need you," Clint said, seeing Cypher jumping to the ground without looking back. "SHE needs you, but she's not going to tell you that herself."

[Lawshenk]

" clint I know I will do everything I can to help her "

[Lady Jenn]

"What about Sky?" he said, looking noticeably upset. "He's going to his almost certain death and right now he's ensuring no-one else will be there to help him."

[Lawshenk]

"  trust me" she thinks innpain

[Lady Jenn]

"Let me help you," Clint said, walking over. "My sister gave me her healing powers, they may only be temporary but they can relieve your pain which would be better than nothing."

[Lawshenk]

" Clint just go"

[Lady Jenn]

"Take this," he said, handing her a strange vial of clear liquid before going to follow the others. "At the very least consider using it, for her sake if nothing else."

[Lawshenk]

Gerri looked at it but her internal battle was to great to consider it yet

[Lady Jenn]

Suddenly the ghost of a strange, dark-haired girl appeared, kneeling next to her.

"Sky and Clint are walking into a trap," she said. "Carreyra knows they're coming, the girl you saw in Clint's mind, it's not his sister...I should know, I'm his sister. Or I was before..." she stopped. They are in more danger than they have even begun to realize."

[Lawshenk]

" I need to gain full control"

[Lady Jenn]

"What of the girl?" Luna asked. "You cannot coexist in the same body, that is what is causing Nicole's issues, would you allow her to die to save yourself?"
