Snippet #1440590

Seeker felt the same way as Arc and Alice, so volunteered himself immediately, "I'll scout ahead, they won't even know I was there, it'll be just like a gust of wind passing by." He drew his sword, then vanished into the wind as a gust came rushing over him. He hadn't bothered to wait for an 'OK', just went on in. The hallway blurred past him, until he came to a three-way prong. He stopped, causing the wind to die, and then he reappeared, quickly glancing down each hallway. To the right, at the end of the very long hallway, was an elevator, and to the left, a series of doorways and alternate hallways breaking off, and straight ahead of him was a room, at the end of a pretty short hallway. He stared at it, That must be where Meir's group is supposed to hold off the guards. Sure enough, as he thought it, he saw the shadow of a guard, trying to move along quietly from one cover to another. And the elevator, that must be where Ciar and Alice are sposed to go. But this is all so straight forward, the humans have to have something up their sleeves, some kind of security plan.

Suddenly Seeker disappeared again, the wind carrying him into the big room just ahead of him, filled to the brim with guards, ready to open fire as soon as a single Exiled entered. They all looked around, confused, at the wind that had just burst into the calm air of the inside of the building, but what could they do? Shoot at the air? After Seeker surveyed their positions, he came straight back to the group, reporting what he had found, "Okay, the hallway looks clear, but a ways down, it splits three directions. To the right, an elevator, to the left, a maze of doors and hallways, and straight ahead is the big central room where the guards have to be held off. That group might have a good fight waiting for them. I saw a lot of guards in that room, taking cover and aiming their sights at the doorway. Unless you can find another way in there, you'll have to come up with some sort of protection," He said, looking at Meir. "They must have been expecting some kind of attack, us or someone else, I don't know." He was looking at Trey now. "But I don't think that the humans would be dumb enough to block only one direction, they must be hiding all over in here."
