Intruder alert / Confrontation

TIME : 10:00AM

LOCATION : TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT, ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING .

Jeroam and Markov enter into a large room filled with rudimentary tracking devices as well as other machinations that helped with several things across the island a group of uniformed are attending to the machines with utmost attention with a man that looked to have seen the better part of life standing in the midst of them as though he were the leader of these little band of men.

"How's the exercise been so far??"

Jeroam asks the man in the middle who turned in shock to set eyes on the most important figure in their realm.

"Elder… why are you here??, you should have called for me if you wanted to."

The man says as he bows his head in respect with others in the room doing same.

"At ease everyone, please ignore my presence and return to what you were doing."

Jeroam remarks before turning his attention to the one before him.

"I needed a walk and I also felt like checking out the facilities of this island so please don't embarrass me by keeping your head so low, you are for one older than me."

the man puts his head up in acknowledgement of Jeroam's words and stands at ease.

"So far there has been no disturbance, the participants seem to have run into a few of the creatures that roam the island and engaged in battle with them."

The man comments with relative calm, Jeroam nods his head before asking.

"Has there been any confrontations between the participants??"

"None so far, Elder…. Your transport took them to different parts of the island thus making it quite difficult for them to run into each other considering their small numbers although the exercise is just getting started so we can expect one or two confrontations between the participants."

The man replies.

"You're right ,anyways keep up the good work."

Jeroam commends and is about to leave before an announcement from one of the technicians catches his attention.

"Anything wrong?"

Jeroam questioned the lead technician after his subordinate was done whispering to him.

"Uhmm, no problems really but it would seem someone has gotten through our water borne defenses and infiltrated the island."

The lead technician responds trying to make light the situation, Jeroam puts his head up before turning to Markov who immediately nods his head and leaves the room in haste.

A man in a cloak and hoodie stands atop a hill with the beach visible behind hidden within the trees with a dark smile on his face, "I'm coming for you, boy… Just you wait."

TIME : 10:45AM

LOCATION : SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE THICK JUNGLES OF MARACAS ISLAND.

Boa, Dean and Sinatra head towards administrative headquarters with an orb in their possession.

"You know this was way easier than I thought it was gonna be, I mean we didn't even run into any other participants."

Sinatra remarks.

"Yeah, this must be our lucky day."

Dean replies with a smile with Boa stopping in his tracks rather abruptly with the others following suit, Pricking his nose up, Boa sniffs out the air before squinting his eyelids as he picked up a scent that wreaked of hostility.

"Boa, what's wrong??"

Sinatra asks with a worry.

"Do you smell that??"

Boa asks with his nose still in the air.

"Something or someone is coming."

Dean replies with a calm voice as he looked at Boa expecting a response.

"They seem to be tracking us, they should be after the orb we are carrying."

Boa comments as he calms his nerves.

"If they are tailing us then if we keep running, we might end up risking an assault from behind."

Sinatra says as she tries to pinpoint the direction in which her teammates were sensing the incoming threat.

"We should make a stand here, if they turn out to be too strong for us to handle we'll find a way to escape before they grab our orb."

Boa is about to spell out a plan before he is interrupted by a voice in the trees.

"Your plan to run away after effectively making sure we won't be able to follow you would have worked perfectly under normal circumstances but unfortunately for you, Variant scum, this is an extraordinary circumstance in which you are in at the moment."

The voice says.

"Who are you and what do you want??"

Sinatra asks with a shout, rustling of some trees are heard with leaves falling after which three individuals emerge from the thick of the forest wearing dark cloaks and wielding weapons.

"Who are you??"

Boa repeats Sinatra's question but with a bit more ferocity in his voice.

"Han Solomon and these are my comrades; Urch and Nia."

The individual in the middle responds with a menacing voice.

"I take it you are here for the orb."

Dean remarks with a careful look on his face.

"If only it were that simple… Nia, Urch keep the masters busy."

Han command after which the individuals at his left and right move so quickly it surprises Boa and his teammates, they try to avoid them but only sucked in getting separated with Sinatra facing down Nia and Dean facing down Urch leaving Boa standing along before Han.

"What's the meaning of this??"

Dean asks with his attention fixated on the opponent before him.

"I can understand that you had no choice but to work with this mutant but I am now going to purge your team of this variant scum before i seize your orb, I hope you can understand that I cannot just ignore this."

Han says in a way that sounded like his head was in the clouds.

"What the hell are you talking about??.... Why are you referring to Boa with such derogatory words?"

Sinatra asks quite offended by Han's words to Boa, Boa has his head down and his fists tightened with Han watching him with disgust in his eyes, "Your words resonate with hate for variants everywhere, may I ask why you harbor such bitterness against them??"

"Of course…. Variants are a scourge on Ra'as, a bunch of individuals given demonic powers which they use to oppress others and do whatever they like without thinking about the consequences, Weaponmasters are the true inhabitants of Ra'as and deserve all the praise and worship for all the hard work we put into becoming one."

Han replies.

"What kind of a backward view is that??... I can't believe you can still have such a view in this time, I suggest you get your ideals straight mister, Variants and Weaponmasters live in harmony and have no hate between them so just stop before you put you and your team in trouble with administration."

Sinatra replies trying to advise Han against what she felt he was about to do.
