“Cut it, Sar. We’ve got bigger problems than lost sleep right now.” Mai looked at her daughter’s shocked face. “You wanted to be an agent? You wanted an adventure? Well now’s the time kid. Get suited up and have this pack and yourself in the car in five minutes.” Sarai started to jog back towards her room, but Mai stopped her. “Wrong way. There’s equipment for you in the armory.” | “Cut it, Sar. We’ve got bigger problems than lost sleep right now.” Mai looked at her daughter’s shocked face. “You wanted to be an agent?

Sarai nodded and turned towards the armory, jogging past Casey who was coming the other way. He wore armor similar to Mai’s, but carried an SBG instead of a plasma rifle. | |||

“Our family seems to be intertwined with the Daodan, Mai. Whenever we extract a blessing from it, it takes payment in blood. We must break this cycle, Mai, or it will scour the world more surely than the poisonous air. This is the holocaust, and one race will serve the other at it’s end. Will we live as Humans, or Daodan?” | “Our family seems to be intertwined with the Daodan, Mai. Whenever we extract a blessing from it, it takes payment in blood.

Then he walked deeper into the cave, and she stared after him, wondering at the man who’s life had been so drastically affected by the Daodan plant. Looking back at the van, she saw that Sarai had left her necklace in the vehicle, hanging from a hook in the ceiling. As she stared at the dangling pendant, a broken O with two bent ends, anger welled up in her, the same fury that she had felt when Shinatama was captured. Rising from her sadness, she stood and strode to the van, checking to make sure that her belt pouches were still stocked full of supplies. She holstered her pistol and slung the mercury bow across her back, emptying all the other supplies and weapons onto the stone just inside | Then he walked deeper into the cave, and she stared after him, wondering at the man who’s life had been so drastically affected by the Daodan plant.

She left a note on top of the pile, explaining where she had gone, and then she walked back to the van and climbed in, but Griffin and Karen had extracted the battery cable, so that the van was powerless until they put it back. | ||
Nice try. Mai thought as she activated her Daodan, pushing the energy away from herself and into the vehicle, powering it. Leaving the cave behind, she sped back towards the city, the hate and pain pumping more and more energy through her, which she then converted into speed. The desert blurred, and soon she was back in the city, flying through the streets deeper towards what was now an infected-looking hive where the mutations had started. Screeching to a halt, she leapt from the overheating vehicle and grabbed a shade that darted past. Flipping it above her head with one hand, she smashed it back down into the pavement, crushing it’s feeble attempts to escape. | Nice try.

“I know who I am.” She whispered, then stepped forward and flexed her new Imago mucles, ripping him in half. Then she turned to Sarai, her white armor glowing, but with a hint of darkness, a wild untamed power that was halfway between good and evil, able to heal or kill with equal ease. She blasted the cocoon away, and Sarai rolled to her feet, running to her mother and enveloping her in a tight hug. Then they left the tower, the webs crumbling and the mutations writhing as they were returned to their original state. | “I know who I am.” She whispered, then stepped forward and flexed her new Imago mucles, ripping him in half.
