Team Snagem HQ (Mt. Silver)

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Lykas and Odd appeared in Snagem HQ moments before the rest of the team arrived, Lykas having taken the chance to get them out before Sub had rushed to evacuate everyone else. When the accusations and demands started flying, the hybrid’s blood boiled. He was sick of this. As far as he was concerned, whatever was in Sub’s past was no one’s concern but his. He considered Sub to be his friend and a loyal and dependable leader to their ragtag team as well. What more did he need to know?

When Freth demanded answers, he started to say something to her about how she ought to be telling everyone her life story first instead of being Blizzard’s live-in booty call with no history anyone other than Blizz himself seemed to know but Sub started to explain himself anyway and it cut the boy off. Despite all that was said there were only two things really that stuck out to him through it all. “You’re almost sixty?”He asked when it was all done. “You look pretty hot for your age, no matter how you do it…” Giving a small laugh before bringing up his next quest. “There is something I don’t understand, though. I didn’t become a proper hybrid until long after I joined Snagem. How could you tell I had hybrid genes before that? I didn’t even know until just before I left the gym…” He always knew that Sub had way more access to information than a normal person and this explained a lot of that. But this one piece of information eluded him. The only explanation he could think of was that Erika had known and mentioned it to Sub at some point, provided that he had ever actually spoken directly to her.

“All that aside, What do we do now? What you’ve done makes sense, I suppose. I can’t fault you for trying to make amends, after all, but one cannot simply “make up” for their sins by doing good. True atonement comes from personal sacrifice. I’d say giving up essentially your entire life since those days for the purpose of trying to prepare someone to take this mad man down counts so we should be focusing on how we’re going to stop him or what good does all of Sub’s effort do?” Odd piped up from behind Lykas.

The hybrid would turn to Aile as Odd spoke. “You should stay because you’re our friend. No matter what you did in the past, you’re still our friend and you always will be.” He assured her sincerely.

"...he's right," Amaranth finally spoke up. "If anyone would know something about who we're likely to fight, it'll be someone that's spent time with them. They'd be the best source of information, and if they're an enemy of that side too, wouldn't that make them our ally instead? I think that's how that line goes..." She wasn't about to humor the thought of Sub in a kimono and wig, but judging by the light giggle from her, it was almost too humorous to her not to imagine it.

Still, she was still left with too many questions to figure out one to start with, but she'd be happy with the honesty for now. It'd be as good of a start as any. "Anyway, I have to agree with the rest. I was upset about what you did, but all I had wanted to know was why. I don't think I'd feel right writing you off even after everything. I... I don't really know where we go from here, though. Sol was saying about how we all need to prepare, but how do you prepare for something like what we saw back there?"  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno could feel himself beginning to let a smile show on his face as he heard the others beginning to unite together, Aile finally feeling like she would rejoin, but most importantly the fact that Sub was now beginning to explain himself. He knew for a fact that he still had a vast amount of secrets beyond that but it felt good to have some explanation. "The other way to prepare is to learn more cooperative abilities between each other. Channelers like me have a bit of an inclination to these tactics but that doesn't mean we can execute cunning plans or random habits at the drop of a hat. So if you want to train, try and do it together." Reno told the others, slowly reaching his left arm up to grab something above him to lift himself up.

"Just because some of us can manage solo against a Cipher doesn't mean we need to do it that way. Especially right now with them being warlords. So having someone you can operate seamlessly with would be advantageous." He added, left arm still reaching up for something to grab. Reaching about 2 feet longer than his usual arm in fact, with broken pieces of his metallic arm stretched out through the strange fluid the arm was constructed of. "What?" Reno asked, certain there were a few eyes on him.

Reno looked at his arm for a moment before shrugging and gesturing with his right hand towards the Reuniclus that was now just floating in the room. "Blame Dyamak. With him, I get a bit of an aura around my limbs. Mostly, I just concentrate on my left arm here and let it be a more organic limb. If I do some stuff with Kaiden, then I get...more stuff. But yeah. We're weird. And you're one of us now, Aile." Reno told the woman, his grasping hand wrapping around a pipe before lifting him onto his feet to stare her in the face. "Don't think I don't see the staff or a bit of the power in it. You got a little desert in your blood now."  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno would shrug his shoulders before he would walk up to the woman and tap her square in the center of her ribs with his right hand. "While I know going back makes things easier, but if you want to push your skills, all you need is a little guts. And a lower tolerance for personal safety than normal, but it still counts." Reno explained, locking eyes with the woman as he spoke. "But I'm always free to help you learn your way around this. I know what its like to be handed unlimited cosmic power and no idea what it does."
