"Yeah, I'm fine," Nami said.

Before Waylon could respond, Brandon walked into the room, a smile on his face. It dissapeared when he saw Waylon, however. Still peeved about last night, Waylon thought.

While that was fair, he tried not to be a murderer. In all honesty, he never actually killed anyone. He'd seen plenty of murders take place in front of him, but never actually committed any himself. The closest he'd gotten to doing so was yesterday against Ooye'Yar. He believed in the purity of life, despite him being influenced to believe otherwise. Everyone deserved a second chance, although he was not above punishing for crimes. Yet, everyone deserved a second chance.

He watched as Nami walked by herself to the door and back, smiling. She was better to an extent. And that was the only reassurance he needed not to pursue the trader. Hopefully, by taking the wealth of his items and leaving him with thirty quid in his pocket and his pride dragging behind him, it would be enough to influence which side of the morality line the trader would be one the day he died.

"Okay, so what are we going to need in order to get the crystal from the Verbum Dei? Aura, do you have any leads?" Waylon looked at Aura, not knowing where she ran off at night.

As everyone had went to bed Aura had wandered the streets, thinking about everything she had done in her life.

Killed people for money, but it was for her people. If that didn't make it okay then what would? How could she redeem herself?

She left Nala all the time to be raised by those who raised her. After her father died she had been alone, her mother was never in the picture. So, as training leader of her people, Aura had found a trainer to make her a weapon, a killing machine. Somewhere along the way she had lost her own way and fallen for one outside of her people, one who took advantage of her shelterdess. Aaaand...along came Nala. As punishment for being so stupid, her ancestors took Nala's sight and left her defenseless.

Always making the worst choices, Aura pushed Nala and her people away, making the only income for everyone and bringing in the supplies to make everyone last. She had never forgiven herself for missing out on Nala's life, especially right now.

As the sun started to come up, Aura had wandered back to the house, seeing Ara looking out the window then Waylon behind her. She had just made her way back inside when she heard, "Okay, so what are we going to need in order to get the crystal from the Verbum Dei?" Waylon had asked the question to everyone.

Remembering Rorik, Aura looked around the room, searching for the male but was interrupted by Waylon directing her, "Aura, do you have any leads?"

Her focus snapped back on Waylon and with a small from she shook her head, "They were long gone by the time I got there.. Maybe if I was let go sooner I could've stopped them." Her anger is obvious but she continues, "Maybe my friend Rorik saw or heard something? Has anyone seen him around?"

"Over here." He said as he stood up. He had been sleeping in a wooden chair. He made his way over. "I have spent a lot of time.... studying them. They are almost like a real army. Other then they aren't that well armed compared to REAL armies. But they have the coordination to make up for it. They are monsters." He scratched the back of his head for a moment. "But I did manage to get into the facility. And I have a map of where they will be keeping your daughter and the gem." He pulled out a map of the building. "They use give this to the newbies so that they can find their way around." He started to draw on it. Making notes. Even as far as writing down how many guards there are in the night and day shift. "There is also another holding area where they have the rest of your people." He looked up. "But if you are planing an invasion with only the people in this room..... We will die before we can see the compound."

Waylon looked at this with curiosity. How did this guy Rorik know so much? Where did he come from? How did he get Aura to trust him so fast?

"Wait wait wait," Waylon threw his hands in a motion to stop. "So you're telling us that you know exactly how the grounds and facility is outlined, you can name specific guard times and whatnot. How did you even come across this information? I bet it wasn't as simple as getting a Golden Ticket in a Willy Wonka Bar." He hoped that someone read among the group, but with Angel gone, it wasn't looking good.

There was no reason for Rorik to lie. "I have been trying for years to shut down Verbum Dei. I had to get close. Too close. I had to do things that will forever be stuck with me." He looks up to Aura "I'm trying to set things write." He pulls out his handgun and puts it on the table. "I have given all the information i have. I did vow to save someone's daughter, but if you have any doubt that I am not who I say I am. Then shoot me." He was hoping that the bullet never came. Rorik wanted to save the Girl. For Aura. Then if she wanted. She could kill him her self. That would only be fitting. Death is something you learn to live with over time. If you are exposed to it enough Then you no longer fear it. It was something they taught you day one of becoming a Verbum Dei member.

While Waylon made his decision Rorik continued to draw on the map. He then pulled out a small book and started to copy stuff out of it onto the map.

"I have been trying for years to shut down Verbum Dei. I had to get close. Too close. I had to do things that will forever be stuck with me. I'm trying to set things right. I have given all the information i have. I did vow to save someone's daughter, but if you have any doubt that I am not who I say I am. Then shoot me." Rorik put a handgun on the table.

"No, I didn't mean it like that," Waylon replied. "I'm thinking if you managed to get in by becoming a member, then maybe we can get in the same way. We infiltrate as rookies, then look for Nala, the crystal, and any knowledge about this one shot weapon we can gather. We can escape with Nala, possibly impede on their one shot weapon, and return later with an army to get the crystal back."

He turned to Rorik, "So, is that a good idea? Would it work?"

Aura steps in, "Hold up, the Verbum Dei know me. We were allies, remember? I practically grew up with those freaks around every corner trying to get to my people. I wouldn't be able to get in just like that. I'm 98% sure every single one of those things know who I am. Some members of my people were still on their side which made it so they knew were we all still lived... And I know my Nala, she won't trust any of you. I mean I could tell you how to get her to trust you but... She's careful..." The female crosses her arms, "Nala knows all the secrets of my people, she may be blind but she can fight with her other senses... If any of you get on her bad side I'm sure she'd take you down... As for my people... They adapt quickly and would either turn on you, thinking you are a test, or they have given up on all hope... They all have seen too much death and are not afraid of it." Aura looks at the map and thinks for a moment, "Given my skills... I'm sure I can sneak in through..." She points to a small section on the map, "Here... And possibly get all of you in... Unless you're heart is set on risking the Verbum Dei finding you out... In which case they will Torture you for fun... But if this map is up to date then the prisoner holdings look to be on the opposite side..." She shakes her head and steps back, "But.. They probably have Nala in a whole different..." Flash backs to Aura's time with them cloud her thought process, making it look like she has zoned out.

Rorik looked at the map and listened to each give their suggestion. "Getting in as a member won't work. You can walk up to the front door and ask to join but they will put you thru training. out of 100 people to go in only around 35 live and only 18 get accepted. But you also have to meet the requirements. You either have to meet the standards of speed or strength, you have to have some background of fighting, and you can't be human. But I know a way around that. Sadly it will be a trip to go get the thing we need." Aura says her piece. "Hmmm.... not a bad idea if you want to get shot. Cameras will spot you and it will only take secon...." He started to look at the drawings. "Wait wait wait. If... yea.. that might work." He looks up at waylon and Aura. "We need an army. Or at least a large group of people. Hell we could make it seem like we are a rival group of merks. While that happens we can sneak in."

Waylon didn't like the idea of full frontal assault. It just wasn't in him. But a full frontal assault as a distraction while they sneaked in...now there was a possibility. "Interesting concept, but I see a problem. We're a ragtag group of individuals. How are we even going to begin to raise an army? I've got no numerous allies at my disposal. Do any of the rest of you?" Waylon looked around the room at each individual, expecting to hear the word "no" left and right.

Waylon's question brings Aura back to reality, "I know a group who owes me more than their lives are worth." She looks about the room then shrugs, "I saved a certain someone who means a lot to them. If I can get into contact with them, they will come through... Though they may not be big enough..." She sighs in frustration and turns away, looking out a window.

Rorik thought for a moment. "We could make it seem like we are hiring for a job. Have it have good pay, I can take care of that end, and people can't refuse. The ones who survive or win if they are good enough will get a nice full pocket." Sores walked in. "I have been listening. And I know of a group that has a few people but they are very skilled. Mark knows who they are." Nami walked over. "My Papa had a few good friends. They can help." Rorik smiled. "Well that's a start, but we will still need more to reduce the risk of casualties on our side." Ara who was just sitting in the chair looking out the window made a comment to Sores saying. "We could bring back the resistance." His face was almost as if he was in shock. "They... They would never come back to fight for us...." Ara turned around with a dead serious look in her eye, but it quickly vanished back to the depressed face. She turned around and faced the window. "I think we need to give it a chance."

Waylon watched the brainstorming session continue, more ideas being tossed around every second. Aura had her group of debtors. Rorik could hire, but it might not attract a lot. Sores knew a few people. Nami knew a few people. Waylon was the only one who didn't have an ally fallback and that was because the only group he knew of would rather kill him and his group than the Verbum Dei.

"We could bring back the resistance."

Everyone stopped and turned to Ara, who never moved but was paying attention nonetheless.

Sores was in total shock by this. "They...they would never come back to fight for us..."

"I think we need to give it a chance." she responded solemnly.

"She does make a point," Waylon added. "I mean we're going to need all the help we can get. Even if they say no, is it not worth giving it a shot?"

Sores sighed. "We can try but more than likely they will say no." Ara sat unfazed by the comment. She was gone again. The clouds had stolen her mind. None of this was helping the day for her. She wondered often if it would ever happen again. If her friends would end up dead. Not really by her fault but just dead.

Issac had woken up with a thud. He had fallen out of the duel chairs that he had been sleeping in. He stood up rubbing his head and looking around at the rest of the group. "Aw fuck, what time is it did I oversleep again." He looked at his wristwatch that was in his pocket. "12:17." with that he laid back down in the chair and just listened to whatever was going on in the next room. Mark was still out along with Tanya.

"We can try, but more than likely they will say no."

"Then we try," Waylon agreed. He heard the sound of Issac waking up and cursing about oversleeping or something. Issac didn't come into the room.

"So is this all the resistance we're going to potentially have?" Waylon looked around. "I mean it's sizeable, but it's like half of the probably required amount and that is IF all parties say yes. So what do we do about the second half? I understand that half a army would make a good enough distraction, but I want that army to be able to hold their own. Any suggestions?"

Issac leaned his head into the room. "100 or less. Thats how many are in the resistance, Or what's left of it." Ara turns around again "Sores." She says as she motions him out of the room. They both walk out. Issac then makes the comment "Oh yea It's Ara's 'feel sorry for me' day."

Mark soon wakes up and walks into the room looking at the plan sheet.

Aura just listens to the ideas bouncing around and shakes her head, "If we're going to do this we should just take down the Verbum Dei altogether,"she says to the upcoming sun, "I mean... We'd be inside, we'd have a small army and once we freed my people they will fight for me and Nala. We stop the One Shot from being made... I mean, why not? IT's worth a try..."

"One hundred or less."

Waylon turns to the sound of Issac, peeking his head in. "That's how many are in the resistance. Or what's left of it."

Issac and Ara walked out together, probably to talk about stuff. Mark walked in and started to catch himself up. "How ya feelin, Mark? A little bit better?"

Aura shook her head. "If we're going to do this, we should just take down the Verbum Dei altogether. I mean...we'd be inside, we'd have a small army and once we freed my people, they will fight for me and Nala. We stop the One Shot from being made...I mean why not? It's worth a try..."

Waylon thought of the anniversary of the rebellion's downfall. "No, it's not. We'd be fighting with half an army against their trained militia at all times, even with the rescue of your people. If we are going to take down the Verbum Dei, we need to be tactical, not direct. Simply going in there and killing every last one of them will either end the rebellion thing we have going here for good or we will succeed at the extreme cost of all our lives, leaving anyone to take power." He shuddered at the thought of his background falling into the Verbum Dei's shoes. "From the diagram, the complexity of this place is remarkable. They know their way around way better than we would. They'll have numbers, organization, and their home turf."

Waylon closed his eyes, caught his thoughts, and went on. "Now is not the time to end the Verbum Dei. We can do it when we have the advantage."

Mark looked to waylon. "A little sore. But thanks. What day is it...." His mind is suddenly engulfed in what laid on the table. Mark just stood and stared at the map and notes. "There is an organization that hates and I mean HATES The Verbum Dei. We could get them to start a war between them." He looked up with a smile. "All we have to do is stage an attack against them." Ara walked back in and sat back in her chair.

Sores looked a bit more happy but also frustrated. "I think we should stick with the old plan."

"There is an organization that hates and I mean HATES the Verbum Dei," Mark threw in. "We could get them to start a war between them. All we have to do is stage an attack against them."

"But who will benefit from it?" Waylon countered. "Is this group you want to sic on the Verbum Dei going to be better or worse for us in the long run? Because I know a group too that would destroy the Verbum Dei in a heartbeat, given the chance. But the future of the world would not benefit from their take over." He saw Ara walk back into the room. Issac had not returned.

"I think we should stick with the old plan," Sores muttered.

This gave Waylon another idea.

"Why not both? I mean look at it. We can attack the way we plan to and pin it on this group that Mark was talking about. That give us a cover, so we don't have anyone gunning for specifically us in the end."

Mark looked to Waylon. "The group is called The Masses. They pretty much help in any way they can. Verbum Dei is a threat to them because of the way they handle things. The Masses and Verbum Dei are both equal in size and strength. They might not benefit us, but they will help out whomever they find in the compound. They are holding recruitments starting tomorrow and ending in 4 days. We can get in with this info and they would be more than happy to attack."

Issac chimes in from his chairs he had been laying in. "Tanya has a truck. She used it to get here and transport her scraped titan outside. Might make the adventure a bit more friendly on our feet."

Aura just shakes her head and walks out of the room, muttering something about needing fresh air. She walks out a ways from the house and just stands there, looking across at the vast nothingness, lost in her thoughts.

Every second is the time for the verbum dei to be taken down. Doesn't matter who does it as long as it's done, then the secrets of my people are with my people only... Or what's left of us...

She sighs and closes her eyes and opens them slowly.

What are they doing to Nala right now? She must be terrified... What if they've already killed her...

She closes her eyes as tears form.

What has she already witnessed... What if it's too late and her innocent spirit has died...

Aura digs her claws into her closed fists.

I'm a terrible mother. I vowed to be nothing like my father and yet...I'm worse than he is.

Waylon thought for a moment. "Well, that could work. But what are The Masses' motives? How do they handle things differently than the Verbum Dei? In a negative or positive way? Do they go the old merchant style? How would they use the One Shot should they take control of it?"

"Tanya has a truck," Issac added. "She used it to get here and transport her scraped titan outside. Might make the adventure a bit more friendly on our feet."

"Maybe to get to The Masses recruitment site, but not to the Verbum Dei HQ," Waylon recommended. "Stealth will be key when infiltrating, even though it's a frontal assault. The point of getting a larger army involved will be to not make our presence known."

He knew he was sounding like nothing they threw was going to work, but he wanted to keep things in perspective for the group. The risks that would be accompanying each decision. This would be no cakewalk, but minimal risk was optimal.

What have they already done to her? Is her pure spirit gone? Why didn't I protect her? She is my child... I'm worse than my own father..."

Ara came out the door and sat against the wall. "Don't talk like that. If you stayed you would probably be dead, then Nala would have had nobody to rescue her. We would never have found out about what had happened to your people. Your not to blame. You have yet to make the mistake I have." She looked down. "I got alot of friends and loved ones killed, including my unborn kid. 4 years ago today." She looked back up to Aura "Certain events make it harder than normal." she had an almost unnoticeable grin. It slipped in. Then she remembered the garden. "Yesterday was one of the three events."

Mark looked to waylon. "I work with The Masses. They are a good group. I'm a high ranking officer. Have my own squad and all. I'm just on leave for a few days. But with this info I can make sure that the officials get it. Also don't worry about the One Shot. They will want it destroyed. If anyone got their hands on it it could cause a hell of a lot of innocent deaths."
