Into the Compound
by Cervin, Vanir, and John
Fresh air. That was the first thing Vanir noticed as they materialized on the
planet. It smells tangy, he thought, almost like pines. In such an unfamiliar
situation, he fell back to what he learned from his unusual teachers at his
equally unusually school. His senses were as normal as any other Human's but
he could focus in on them.
"Look there. I believe that is our objective," he said softly to John and
Cervin.
It looked like something from a medieval fantasy. The mountains behind the
building were magnificent as was the building itself. It was large and
sprawling, complete with turreted stone walls and armed sentries. Of course,
even from a distance he could see that their weapons were decidedly not
medieval.
"Vater im Himmel, Gott segnen uns," he murmured.
Cervin perked an eyebrow, not getting what he said and chose to let Vanir's
comment go. His communicator bleeped, "Cervo, this is Trey, we're all set for
you guys to go. I'm going to beaming in some guests to aid in the distraction.
Don't ask questions, just get your asses inside that compound. We'll keep a
lookout for you."
The link was severed quickly, and Cervin smirked and started walking. The walk
was quiet, all three moving as quickly as possible.
"Seems they have... something inside their compound," John narrowed his eyes as
the trio got closer.
Stopping real quick, "Alright, the...animals are in, and they're being chased
out. But that doesn't give us much time to move in and not be noticed."
Vanir offered Cervin a slight shrug. "If you have a map or some idea as to how
big the place is, I can teleport in," he told them. He held up a hand and
waved it slightly. "I can actually carry a person with me but the after
effects are not always so pleasant. If that doesn't sound so preferable, tell
me where I can go to let you in."
Cervin quickly scanned the compound, he looked up, the animals were being
chased out quicker than expected. He looked up, "Vanir, if you could teleport
us right," he pointed at the station that looked tiny from the distance,
"there. Life signs are away from there and all looking out. Plus it looks like
it's close to a door."
Vanir nodded. "That's fine but expect to be a bit disoriented for a few
moments, if not outright nauseous. All it will do to me, since I have taken
others with me before, is slow me down for a while."
Cervin gestured for John to go first. And it was within moments that both
disappeared. On the inside of the monastery, Vanir made sure that John was not
going to pass out. It certainly looked that way to him. The other man waved
him off and seconds later the blue skinned mutant was back next to Cervin.
He came back, almost instantly. Cervin smiled, "That's gotta come in handy.
I'd like that ability, if I knew how to handle it."
"Be careful what you wish for," Vanir said dryly. "The ability is easy enough
to learn how to handle. It's the attending hate mobs and people who want to
kill you that are a problem."
He put his hands on Cervin's shoulders and they rejoined John, who looked to be
recovered. Cervin looked like he was going to kill Vanir, though.
"I warned you," Vanir said simply. He wasn't going to laugh but he'd seen that
look before.
Looking around, the animals were chased away. Cervin put his hood on, cursing
internally at the scratchy material. That being the least of his problems as
he felt like puking. He shook his head, taking out his PADD, "this way."
Vanir followed silently after Cervin, wondering all the while why he was
getting a very bad sense of deja vu.
