Snippet #1497662

Giacomo looked in almost disbelief at the scene before him, three of those who had been targetted by the assasins seemed to be in horrible shape. The idiot who had attacked Amon upon sight, Taylor and the mage-healer from Delta, all three in very bad shape. To not look at the scene for a moment he grabbed his monocular from the ground and placed back on it's place. He then heard The mage ask him something about mana, it took him a few seconds to assemble the loose words into understandable terms. She wanted him to let her absorb some mana. It was quite strange, he never knew that the syntetical substitute for the real stuff could be absorbed by mages. He knew that mages could transact the real stuff in cases of emergency, but absorbing mana was of a whole new calliber. Think about the possibilities, and what else it could mean. If she could absorb mana, then maybe, maybe he could absorb the real thing with the crystals.

Almost losing himself in his thoughts he comes back to reality. The mage needed help and he was probably the only one that even knew that it was possible to extract raw mana from wands. It wasn't all that hard to extract it from a wand, as a wand could basically be seen as a flask, and when a flask breaks the content will spill out. He pulled his flare wand out of his pocket, knowing that it served the least use in this situation. dropped it on the ground and smashed it with his hammer. The metal was bend enough to make it release it's mana. He looked at his crystals, they glowed blue-greenish, confirming his thoughts. The wand was an idusterial flare, not as powerfull as a military emergency flare wand, but it contained many uses. Which meant it held a load of mana, but it also made it much more fragile as the mana would seek out any defect and use it to escape, in this case that was usefull as he didn't need to do as much damage as an oridnary wand would need to spill it's content.

He then looked at Loki and even though he would know better than to speak to someone who looked like she could burst into rage at any point he spoke to her: "It seems that someone knew about the meeting, even though we were left in the dark about it. I know that Goldwaters case is very sensitive, especialy now that the information of his real cause of death is leaking out, but this goes too far. To silence us with death rather than with the usual threats and bribes, it gives me the idea that there is something bigger behind it." Of course if Giacomo had, in any form, followed the political debates he would have known that Goldwater had been speaking for the poeple in Delta and Gamma, And that Taylor sided with Goldwater. "The fact that they dared to raise a hand against me, I will make them regret making me their enemy." He sprouted into the room looking at one of the assasins corpses. He kicked it against the head and looked as it moved. His mind was no longer fully with the current situation, his mind was working over-hours making mental blueprints for machines of war. Weapons that were as much inspiring as dreadfull.
