---Meanwhile back on hundred Earths---

An alarm began to buzz... you dreerily opened your eyes and find an alert message displayed on the holovid monitor. You jerk upwards in your bed and nearly hit your head ont he low ceiling, you shift yourself over to the monitor and try to get it to respond, but all you see is "report immediatley". There are no mission details or even a persons face mentioned in the message. This sort of thing is incredibly suspicious and it has never occured before. You decide to go to the interdimensional poletzai Headquarters to see what's up. You quickly suit up and head out the door, jumping on a platform you command it to go to the Poletzai HQ. You are flown there rappidly in a slightly disorienting mmanner. The transport pad quickly docks and you jump off, you begin running for the doros and you stop, you find bodies of police guards scattered all over the place with bullet holes embedded in the walls... this only makes you want to get inside faster, you start to run toward the doors and scanners run over you and open the doors quickly. You start running into the main hallway and toward the stairs, but then you notice the turbo lifts have come down quickly for you. You jump onto the lift and are quickly transported upwards, with a bell dinging sound the doors shoot open and you jump out expecting to have to run somehwere else, when suddenly you realize your'e in the president's office.

You stop dead in your tracks as the president's silouette aproaches you, menacingly while puffing a cigar.

"Hikari... what I am about to tell you can not leave this room under any circumstances... The Poletzai and Lylocks have joined forces once again, and you are going to be placed onto the most top secret of missions. We are not fully up to par with the details, but we know it somehow involves the hive mind, Shinokorosha, Masakari Kai, a recent mercenaries guild mission which has been handed out to an asortment of mercenaries with promises of high rewards, and basically the entire stability and fabric of the hundred Earths. Our nano cams also picked up the fried hull of what appears to be Rapture Phage technology... I cannot stress the relevance of everything that is going on right now, but we cannot stand idly by and not become involved ourselves... I would like you to meet someone..."

Two holovid monitors pop up...
"This is Tatsuko... A plan cutter. Tatsuko is able to planeshift between dimensions without equiptment and can also manipulate soul cells. In all essence, Tatsuko is a follower of an occult of individuals who believe that Shinokorosha is the savior of all knowledge... well it also just so happens that she works for the Lylocks... Now my normal instincts would say to never go along with a Lylock mission but we must do this, as parners. You are an ancient specialist and the world where all this madness is going on is one where they are still living in the dark ages. Your skills along with Tatsuko's abilities make you the perfect combination for this mission. I'll let the president of the Lylock organization continue the breifing..."

The second monitor with the Lylock's leader on it grew a little larger.

"Tatsuko has already been breifed and she is ready to take you at once..." The other monitor cutt off and with a slight breeze you turn to see the face of the person who was once on the monitor now in the same room with you. Both you and the president jump. Her appearance almost mimicks Shinokorosha's but she is an aasimar and not a Vacuum Genasi. The same grey shade of skin is prominant though along with the unusally colored eyes of someone who has embedded a soul cell in their own body.

The Lylock leader continued, "We lost contact with the party of mercenaries and one of my own workers aproximatley 2 hours ago when they traveled outside of the boundaries of our nano scanners. Some of our hackers managed to tap into the Mecernarie's guild gateway transport traffic, and it's been insaine! They don't seem to stop teleporting mercenaries around the multiverse, and from what we can tell, this particular dimension has almost 20 people sent to it! We also have reports of TWO individual quantum singularities present. This isn't possible, though, because only Masakari Kai is able to give off a singularity of this magnitude... if our reports are correct... Then there are TWO masakari kais in this world! We don't know what else to make of this data. We want you to investigate this data using a special device which can track singularities similar to Kais... I also want Tatsuko to help you find any Soul Cell signatures on the planet. Where there are Soul Cells there is always Shinokorosha... If he is on this world too, which is what we suspect... (Why else could kai be there?) Then he needs to be protected from the mercenaries at all costs... I have already given these orders to my lylock leutenant... I was such a fool... I followed the mission regs but didn't bother to read the fine print... She's there to SAVE Shinokorosha while every other Merc and Masakari kai are there to destroy him!! You need to find the party and tell them what I've told you! We have no leads as to where they've gone... They may already be dead...

Please conduct a thoreough investigation, and for the love of GOD, keep in contact at all times..."

The two warriors nodded and then the plane cutter waved her hand through the air... at once the air began to vibrate unusually and a small cut opened up, it then turned into a rip in the air which appeared to be filled with static like a TV with no signal. The static surrounds you and the the plane cutter, suddenly you feel like you are moving at an incredible speed, and everything goes black. In a few seconds you suddenly feel a jerk and a stop. You are now standing on a coblestone street in a city, you look infront of you and see the wreckage of a rapturephage mech. This sight disturbs both of the dimensional travelers greatly... Suddenly a man wearing a staw hat walks by, he turns toward you with a gland and says "They went east... across the sea... to and island... go there... now!"

The man turned and ran as quickly as his legs could fly, made a turn while running across the wreckage and jumped into an alley.

Do you listen to what he said or try and pursuit him?
