Adion Volf (unit number AG-13)'s Story

Adion sat in the room that he had told all of those who he had hired to work were told to report to. It was one of the bigger, but less nice, offices in the Vera Corporation Headquarters. The room had a large table in the center with solid holo computers at every seat and a large solid holo screen opposite the doors. The rooms color was a white and the lights were dimmed slightly, so that the solid holos were easier to read.

Adion stood up by the screen and connected to its matching computer. The screen popped up and words were flying by as Adion searched for all the files that he needed. He began putting the files into a shared folder on the room's server. It contained all of Adion's research on the Tefeer's Labyrinth, including the map to it, and all that Adion could dig up on dragons and their technologies.



The stasis machine hummed as it kept Tefeer in his timeless rest. The lights had been turned off to both disguise the facility and to grant more power to the stasis machine. A single fuse was what chose whether the power went to keeping the stasis machine running or keeping the lights on.

The yellow haze of the stasis floated around Tefeer and the 10 eggs he had volunteered to guard. It stopped everything within the field from aging or changing. No machine parts moved or rusted, Tefeer took no breaths, and the eggs came no closer to hatching. So, there Tefeer stood frozen in time, with his head raised up to overlook the facility and the eggs, untouched by time and tire. The generator still hummed, making sure that the labyrinth was constantly changing. So many rooms and hallways floated around among the giant open room. Some were straight, some curved, some square, and some just shapes, but all of them were to confuse a hostile and to allow a friend.

So, Tefeer stayed still, unawakened by friend or foe.

Gelon entered the room and watched Adion "so are you the guy who is loking for people to help you find some dragon eggs?" Gelon said and look around in the room "mind if i do if i'm at home?"

"Yes I am. Please sit down, there is a lot of information that you could use. It's under the Tefeer's Labyrinth file." Adion said. The solid holo in front of him still having symbols and words streaming by at barely readable speeds. The cyborg had his armor's facemask up, with red light emanating from the seeing slits. His SMG was strapped to his side and his expandable Katina’s handle on a mobile piece.

Gelon sit down and slide his arm open then a small display bothed up "well let's see what that text says" he said and scan the text that was going to fast to read for the human eye

When Gelon sat down, the solid-holo user-interface for the seat's computer popped up. Immediately it showed the Labyrinth file, filled with over 100 documents, all set up in priority, the top 3 being the map to Tefeer's Labyrinth, a human to dragon cypher, and a general description of the mission.

The text that was on the solid-holo in front of Adion was little more than a massive list of file-names, and some names of websites about dragon research.

Gelon got a few files from the Solid-holo from Adion and stored them for later then he started reading a bout the dragon and the labyrinth "so this labyrinth is there anything special about it or something else?" he asked while he read a the human to dragon cypher "seems rater painful"

"The labyrinth is a way for the facility to protect Tefeer and the 10 dragon eggs. It consists of floating blocks that can be hallways, splits, rooms, 4-way splits, stairs, and just about any type of room you can think of. These floating blocks are in constant motion, unless a being is in a room, then that block doesn't move, and any blocks attached don't move. That is, until you leave a block, at which point it will leave. There is a trick to finding one's way through the labyrinth, but I am hoping that someone who does joins out party." Adion said. Gelon was curious, but his curiosity was focused in a good zone. He didn't ask about why Vera Corp would want the eggs, or what Adion had to do to get this information. That was a good thing.

Gelon watched aldion now a bit questioning and got his computer back online and started to hack the solid-holo trying to see if he kept something from him cause his curiosity turn to him and the eggs "tell me what is so special about Tefeer? What makes him protecting the eggs?" he asked hoping to distract him from the solid-holo long enough so he could get in and get some hold back info perhaps

"To answer your question, it was a thing of timing. Tefeer offered to do the task when it was pruposed. Thus he was the one choosen. By the way, stop trying to hack the system, I can feel it. I provided all the possobly usable information. Vera Corp does not like having outsiders see their files." Adion said, shutting down the computer Gelon was sitting at.

Gelon sigh and look at him leaning forward in his chair "fine BUT if I notice anything suspices i drop out or even switch sides, but what are the eggs for any way, a big omelet?" Gelon joked and smiled

"Try to make an omelet out of the dragon eggs, and you won't have anything left to identify you by. What do you think Vera Corp even does? They do research. They sell the research. Then they profit. Simple. They want the eggs to study." Adion said, obviously getting a little annoyed at the question.

Gelon watch him with narrowed eyes "i have been before and got back and if I was you I would watch your tune to me, and why all 10? 1 is just enough right all the research they can do on that" Gelon asked curios but was also ready to jump in action if needed to defend himself

Adion walked over to Gelon and put his hand on Gelon's should. Adion then caused all of Gelon's augmentations, excluding organs, to not work. "Because accidents happen. Why do you test a drug on 100 hamsters instead of 1? To ensure accuracy. The reason that Vera Corp is only asking for 10 is because only 10 exist." Adion said. Gelon was starting to tread over the line between black and white. He was asking some very gray questions, questions about Vera Corp.

Gelon mumbled and already started tinkering on his his arm "then why not 5 that is still accurate?" Gelon said and was already in control of his arm "and a second thing" he said and grab his wrist wit his augmented arm "don't mess with my augments!" he said and push him off "I guess it was a mistake to come here, so go find someone else"he said and stood up

"Your mistake was not coming here, but asking the wrong questions when you got here." answered Adion in a hissing tone. In truth, Gelon had asked questions about Vera Corp and tried to hack the mainframe. What could Gelon have expected? Milk and cookies?

Gelon left the building and headed to the labyrint going to warn the dragon and aid it knowing that all the eggs was to much and just taking them seemed wrong but he had to have a reason why.

Gelon walked for a few hours now and got by the entrance "well time to see if I can get through" he said and wak in

Adion watched as Gelon left. Presumably for the labyrinth. The door was a trap, and only Adion knew the secret. The memories came rushing back to him.

Adion came tumbling into a dragon temple, which had become filled with cobwebs, even thought the rest of it looked perfectly preserved. He was the only one in the whole army who could read dragon texts without the aid of a cypher. The battle waged on outside of the halls. Turning on his light, Adion walked through the dusty halls. The walls were covered with prophecies that Adion had seen sense the day of his birth, but there was something different about this specific ruin.

As Adion walked through what felt like every other dragon ruin he had been to, until he spotted a door that seemed quite out of place. Upon approaching the door, Adion noted the puzzle. It was one that he had found the answer to at many other dragon ruins. 'Kind of funny how every dragon ruin seems to be connected to the rest.' thought Adion as he solved the simple puzzle. This new room was different than anything that Adion had ever seen.

The scriptures on the walls spoke of how to enter Tefeer's Labyrinth, and of the other unique ruins that held the rest of the needed information. So, Adion ran back out into the hall, then right out the ruin.

Adion ran to the battlefield commander, only to get there in time to see the man's brains scattered to the dirt of the moon. As Adion ducked, he heard a familiar sound, the ticking of death.

Adion then awoken in a hospital, freshly augmented. The memories of the ruin during the battle were still fresh in the man's head, ripping through the confusion and blurriness of the medication. The last thing that Adion could pull of this memory was when the man in the suit walked up to him and said that if he agreed to the contract that they would pay for Adion's forced augmentation.

Gelon would not find what exactly he was looking for. The door was a series of various traps along the floor, walls, and ceiling. What one could see past the traps would be 2 statues of dragons, one made of gold, the other of silver. As Gelon approached, the eyes of both shot to a bright, burning red color as the entryway came to life with the varying traps.

"fancy" Gelon said and extended his dagger from his augmented arm he then carefully touched the floor 'Please not a trap, please not a trap, I just want to help you' Gelon thought and carefully keep touching the floor to see if it was safe to step on and look around for anything suspicious but the thin was that everything looked like it could be a trap

As Gelon stood, taking his breath, a hole in the ground opened. Gelon fell into a room that was completely black, save for the lights that were part of the ceiling. The sound of metal and motion run from outside.

From all the research, it never mentioned a key. No physical key, no real lock. All translations of locations, but 1 piece that skipped through the firewalls that Adion had used to limit those who left to seek the eggs themselves. The piece mentioned that the key was not an object, but instead a being who could fit all the puzzles together.
