~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she tips her head and thinks a moment* There's a better person to contact if I can find her... how well can you track people down?

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: Electronically? *smiles* I'm not that good, but a friend is great with computers. If I can get her to come back to earth with me for a while

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she shrugs* Anyway at all. Shouldn’t be too hard. I know she’s in New York. I know she's a huge name but very private, illusive, hidden, and no pictures have ever been taken of her. Forbes magazine type woman. Rae..er, Chalyss' sister... Sylff. But I’ve never seen her human form or heard her human name. All I know of her I learned from others, mostly Rae.

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *grins* Now that is information I can find. Jack keeps that information in his head. In my business it pays to know the money people. I'm sure we can find her. It would help if we had a name. Would you mind coming back to Dallas with me? I haven't been able to talk Jack into coming here.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she bites her lip and nods slowly* yeah.. yeah I guess I could do that. Dammit, I just wish Aerik would LISTEN... she throws a frustrated glare at the tavern again* Shoot. We gotta help yer Lyta friend too.. she's a sitting duck not knowing all this...

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: I know.. She is so timid though. Even after several weeks at my place she doesn't trust me. *running her hand through her hair she looks at the tavern.* Let's go see if Lyta is still around. Then head to Earth. The sooner we can track this woman down the quicker we can help everyone. *Freezing she stares at the tavern* That's it! That's how they know!

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she nods and starts to follow, then blinks and steps back a bit at the sudden outburst* It? What it? Know WHAT?? What're you TALKING about, Zora??

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: Bugs! They bugged the Tavern. It's been bothering me how they knew we were there. It has to be the place is bugged.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she stares at her a moment, and slowly nods, eyes wide* very possible. VERY possible. But Zora.. what's worse is.. they have Shred. Do you know all they can do with his amount of power? Bugs... the gleaning of minds like Sai's. Most unnaturals have energy powers, not mind ones. Few are truly shielded.. and those who are aren't shielded well -enough-. Hell, Aerik broke into the HQ of the GUARD ALL the time, astrally. When he was bored. He knew that place inside and out and everyone in it. They never had a telepath strong enough to keep him out. Now they have shred and I don't know if even Aerik can best him. He beat him last time by using Ricochet, an unnatural with a snapback shield, but... you can't beat him the same way twice, he must be guarded from it by now. What I mean to say is... bugs or no... they'll find out anyway. We're just totally outclassed and outpowered here. And worse.. worse is.. they have cyhunters. For all I know, there's on invisible right here right now.

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *Nods* We are just going to have to do the best we can. I for one will not give up without a fight. We are going to have to watch what we say in the tavern. Yet say enough that they don't know we know the place is bugged. I know I haven't said where I'm from. *shaking her head she looks over at Lyeth* We are going to have to sit down and review the files. I'm not sure what a snapback shield is. Hell I'm not sure about half of what you are talking about.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she hears the words, but seems lost in thought, muttering to herself... she may no longer be a telepath, but for three long years, she was.. and one of the strongest in the world. Aerik was thorough in teaching her, having a vested interest in keeping her alive and her mind capable of handling the massive power it was never made to handle*... if I were a wicked, cruel, butthead group like the GUARD with a powersource like Shred.. what would I do? What COULD I do? More to the point, what COULDN'T I do? *her eyes narrow as she seems to ramble* Think girl.. think. You know this stuff... inside and out. What would Aerik do? *she again takes a squatting position, lost in thought* No no.. not without a fight.. *this is for Zora, the voice pitched higher and louder to indicate such* never that. Its why I'm here, Zora. And too late.. they know you're here, they know I'm here.. *her voice drops again* What do they keep on file? names.. we know that. Heat signatures. We know that. Power signatures, yes... power signatures. And what are those but... psionic impulses. *her eyes slowly close.. flutter shut in despair* Oh... HELL...

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: All we're doing now is going around in circles. Let's find this women. Warn the rest of your friends and get Aerik. Then we can start to plan.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*She stands and sighs.. along, deep sigh, and nods* Yeah. Let's do that. But hell, Zora.. this is so bad, I can't even... even tell you. We NEED Aerik, is what we need. *and he's too fricking busy with his new -boyfriend- to care, she thinks gloomily. With a scowl, she turns back to Zora* Let's go. I'm not getting happier standing here.

~PANACEA~
*she sits back, sipping her drink and watching the room, still waiting for Tari*

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *nods* Yes.. Lyta first then my place. Jack should be able to help us.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she glowers again, whispering* Oh hell, why not? They know about her by now. Know her just by her power signature. Don't have to be on file for someone like Aerik or Shred to know yer unnatural. Lyta is screwed too by now. *she follows, hugging herself unhappily*

~SHADOW
Whitefyre: She also, has a teleport bracelet that will take them right to my place on Earth.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she looks over, blinking owlishly* Just how many of Contacts bracelets did the GUARD manage to nab off bodies anyway???

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *shrugs* I'm not sure. I took 5. I have one. Lyta has one. A friend has two here for emergencies. The last one is hopefully in a safe place.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*She sighs heavily as they enter the tavern* Crap. Lil's gonna be pissed. No wonder they managed to nab the frequency she was using and make their own implants. She didn't make many ya know... and gave em only to close friends. This was, of course, after she left THEM... long after. That they have that many.. oh hell.. I guess they could have duplicated them too.. prototypes for the implants. Crap. *her face is all dark anger as she fully enters the tavern proper and she immediately drops the subject*

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *nods* Jack has been playing around with them. He figured out the frequency bit. Also, how to program them to specific places. I did find a file on using the bracelets. *steps into the tavern behind Lyeth. Looking around for LYTA.*

~KENTO TIERNEY~
Whitefyre: *Looks over at you and wonders what put you in such a foul mood*

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she has more questions, but doesn't dare voice them now. yes, she supposes that could be true... the bracelets have only existed for little more than a year, and others had found them, just as others had reprogrammed them. Lil was working on newer, securer ones now... she sighs, runs a hand thru her hair, and glances about for the shy LYTA*

~PANACEA~
*she looks up to you as you enter..gaining her feet slowly, her eyes warily on Whitefyre, her hand near her bracelet, she looks back at you, her look uncertain*

~WHITEFYRE~
*she doesn't notice KENTO as she scans for Lyta*

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *Following her lead she doesn't talk about anything in the tavern. Searching for Lyta.*

~WHITEFYRE~
Lyta:*she sighs heavily* Cut that out. No need to panic and run off. We gotta talk...

~SHADOW~
Lyta: *seeing the girl she smiles at her. Beckoning her over to them.*

~WHITEFYRE~
*Lyeth blinks as a beautiful being, one more lovely than she's ever seen before, walks past her as she enters the tavern.. and she simply stares, spellbound, at the FAE woman*

~PANACEA~
Whitefyre; why should I...a while ago your were ready to tear our throats out...why should I talk to you?*she looks back at Shadow, wondering what Whitefyre did to her to get her cooperation*

~SHADOW~
Lyta: It's ok. I'll explain it all too you. Right now we need to leave.

~WHITEFYRE~
Lyta:*she raises a brow archly* I was never at YOUR throat. And out yerself in MY shoes, willya? *she stops suddenly and sighs.. damn bugs* Look, I'm the good guy. But even good guys get wary.. or they don't last long. *she shrugs then, still with folded arms* Talk or not.. your life on the line.

~PANACEA~vWhitefyre; *she looks at Shadow warily, then at you and sighs* very well.... *knowing she has not fulfilled the contract yet and has more than enough venom to kill several people...this thought below normal consciousness*

~SHADOW~
Lyta; *smiles softly at the girl* I promise. It will be ok.

~WHITEFYRE~
Lyta:*she smiles faintly and nods* Good. *her shields are still high.. her skin cannot be touched. And she looks over at ZORA, waiting* We go now?

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *Nods* yes.. ((Will the bracelets take more than one person? Or do they need one for Lyeth?))

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:(They only take one atta time.. she has one but not geared for where they need to go. hers will only go back to the lair. They aren't instantly adjustable)*she smiles and nods.. happy something was being done* Good, I wanna get the hell outta Dodge..

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: Ok.. Come with me. *turning she heads out of the Tavern. Heading towards the lake and Tari's cabin.* //Lyta: Come on.

~PANACEA~
Shadow;*she sighs and nods, then looks over to Whitefyre, still wary, but cooperative now*..

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*her brows raise, but she follows outside again, quickly enough, glancing back at LYTA now and then, and searching the landscape with her eyes* Where we going?

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: To get you a bracelet. That is unless you have a way to follow without one.

~PANACEA~
*she follows Shadow out the door*

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she shakes her head* No.. I'm a strong TK, but not enuff to punch holes in space.. least, not yet... I'll need one of yer special bracelets I guess.

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *smiles softly* That's what I thought. *reaching the cabin she uses the key Tari gave her. Moving over to a desk she pulls out a bracelet.* You know I'm trusting you as much as you are trusting me. You will know where my place is after this.

~PANACEA~
Whitefyre;*she keeps her eyes on you, watching warily as she follows and stands in the door as Shadow gives you the last bracelet, her eyes showing her distrust*

~SHADOW~
Lyta: *seeing the distrust in her eyes she sighs. What could she do to get the girl to trust her?* We are going back to earth now Lyta. I would like for you to come back with us. The Tavern may not be safe for us for a while.

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*She enters the dark cabin, instantly glowing softly, reflex action for light.. her white, soft nimbus one of heat, and reaches for the bracelet with a glance around* Don't worry.. I have a recourser shield.. its something Aerik gave me long time ago. Anyone tries to attack me telepathically, and the strike goes to him instead. Never touches me. Make my mind hard to get into. And I know all about keeping secrets.. good at it too. Hafta be. *she latches the bracelet on her free wrist and straightens, looking again at LYTA and then back* Well... I'm ready. *she was gambling a lot going blind like this... what if Zora wasn't honest? Lyeth could be getting herself captured willingly..*

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *she notices the glow the other woman was giving off. Wincing unconsciously* *chuckles* Maybe if we attacked you mentally we could get Aerik’s attention. Although I think I would save that for a last resort. *taking a deep breath she nods. She was ready as she could be. What if Lyeth had already been caught and was now working for Guard? She would be risking the files she had stolen.*

~PANACEA~
Shadow;*she nods* very well...I must trust you now....*sighs, clearly not happy. then blinks as Whitefire seems to glow slightly*

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*She blinks at the suggestion* hey.. YEAH.. That just MIGHT work... really make Aerik take notice. *she grins at the thought.. and it'd hurt him, too. Even better, the jerk...* But last resort is a good idea, just in case he gets mad... *she doesn't say she knows where the files are, not sure yet this was the one Sai said he was going to see or not, the one on his note. But she does know that he wanted her to leave the cave if he didn't return.. and he told her where they were hidden, the files... she'll wait, still not wholly trusting* Let's go then. I wanna get the show on the road..

~SHADOW
Lyta: The trust is well founded. *smiling* I just found out how little I know of the enemy. Whitefyre: ok.. Just activate it. It is already set to return to my place. Since neither of us truly trusts the other what do you say on the count of three?

~WHITEFYRE~
Lyta:*Lyeth looks over and smiles faintly* hey kid.. *even tho she's older, probably, than Lyeth* You've got a lot to learn here... I mean, a LOT to learn or they'll get you too. You may not wanna trust me, but it’s really yer only option if ya wanna survive this. *she shrugs softly.. slightly* Up to you tho. //// SHADOW:(*nod* true)*Lyeth smiles, puts her fingers to the crystals and nods once* On three.. we go. I'm ready.

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: Ok.. 1....2....3... *activates the bracelet*

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow/Lyta:*on the number 3, she touches the blue crystal.. and vanishes to the preset destination*

~PANACEA~
Whitefyre;*she sighs and nods* all right...I will..see I guess...she puts her finger on the button waiting for the count. then activates the bracelet at the count of 3 and vanishes*

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre:*arriving at the destination she notices they are in a very large house. It obviously belongs to someone with money. The room they are in is a study/library.* Make yourself comfortable. *moving over to an intercom she presses the button.* Jack.. Can you come to the study for a minute? *you hear a voice come back saying he will be there in a minute*

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she's wary, of course she is, shields still high and strong.. she simply stands, glancing about the huge, well-furnished, and tasteful room, waiting.. watching and listening. She's never dropped her guard for a second and doesn't intend to.. not yet, anyway. Keeping all corners in view, eyes furtive, she nods to Zora, and folds her arms*

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: Can I get you anything? A soda?

~PANACEA~
Shadow;*she looks around warily now, not trusting anything and smiles to herself, noticing Whitefyre doing the same thing*

~WHITEFYRE~
Shadow:*she smiles graciously, but shakes her head* No thanks... I'm fine. *She's not ready to accept anything from these people yet... she trusted enough to come here, and that was probably TOO much... she had to stay alert and focused, just in case*

~SHADOW~
Whitefyre: *she hadn't really expected the girl to take her up on the offer, but she had to make it. About that time an older man walks into the room. Scowling at all of them.*

~JACK~
You bringing home more strays?

~PANACEA~
Shadow;*she shakes her head, following Whitefyres example, then she tenses, watching as Jack walks in*
