In the Beacon...
« on: November 01, 2005, 09:22:14 AM »

Within the Beacon, Hyran's eyes snap open, his previously calm state gone. With a look of despair, he begins to scream, unheard by anybody outside. His usual smuggler's clothing changes in seconds to the the robes of a Jedi, dark grey in color. He draws two weapons, as though preparing to fight an unseen enemy.

In his right hand, his lightsaber powers up, its dark purple energy blade promising only death. In his left hand, a ebony bladed longsword absorbs light from the Beacon, its archaic form seeming oddly at home in the hands of the healer.

His eyes dart wildly, as though seeking an unseen foe before they close again, his face once more tranquil. His weapons remain at the ready, and his unusual robes stay, perhaps contradicting a calm facade...

In the beacon, the form of Hyran... flickers.
 
Roughly ten seconds later, it disappears into the light itself, leaving behind only a lightsaber and a sword...

Jon Stone comes walking up towards the Beacon a short time later, looking around and mostly paying very little attention to the Beacon itself.  "Huh, damn, no sign of Arwen here," he says shaking his head slightly.  He starts to turn and walk away when he notices the Lightsaber and sword suspended in the Beacon.  His eyes narrow slightly as his gaze sweaps across the area around the Beacon.  "Something very odd is going on today," data lines begin scrolling across his eyes again, "Coputer, set Freeside's scanners to scan for the Avatar signatures of Arwen, Cassie, Nemma Dakkar, John Logan, and Sigma."  Jon lifts his arms slightly out to his side, a great while light envelops him, then it dies out leaving the area around the Beacon devoid of Jon Stone.

Exactly one hour after he disappeared, Hyran reappears inside the Beacon.

Without even time for a look of surprise or annoyance, he disappears just as quickly, once more leaving his weapons behind...

Exactly one hour after he last disappeared, Hyran reappears inside the Beacon.

Again, he disappears just as quickly, leaving his lightsaber and a black blacked sword...

This time, however, his arrival and disappearance are witnessed by Bron Price, Velguader, and Cutthroat. Behind them, the archway of mud disappears without a trace.

::Bron walks through the MUD portal in time to see Hyran disappear.  A low growl emanates from Bron's throat::   Why is it EVERYTIME I'm looking for someone they're in the middle of disappearing?!  ::Bron looks around for a branch on the ground.  Finding one, he touches it to the blackened sword::

The Branch does not enter the beacon. (More force exerted on the branch will cause it to slide off, as though the beacon were a column of stone, or break. Yes, this is highly unusual for the Beacon.)

Cutthroat watches, oddly quiet for a change.

Velguader circles around the Beacon, coming back next to Cutthroat. "I really don't know anything about this Beacon, but from what I've seen, things can pass in and out, and whatever's inside of it isn't supposed to disappear without something else remaining in its place. Highly unusual, if you can call anything in this place normal." He lifts a paw up to the Beacon as if to double-check that it is, indeed, acting like a wall.

(It is indeed still acting as a wall. The "skin" of the Beacon does not allow anything to pass through at this time.)

Cutthroat looks at Velguader as he speaks. "You did see him, as we arrived, did you not? His weapons stayed behind when he left, so the Beacon's requirement for a thing inside is fulfilled. But where did he go, that is the question."

Cutthroat scampers directly up to the Beacon, pushing on it with a paw. "Do you think that the Flemings are involved? They are sneaky that way, and they work for the Chaos Wolves."

The otter pulls from nothingness a plasma rifle. He flips a few switches on the side of it, in anticipation.

"And where is my father?"

He touches the beacon again, before looking down at his weapon, eyes glittering in calculation.

The shadowy, vaguely humanoid form of a wraith materializes along side Cutthroat.  Clearing its "throat", it interjects itself into the conversation.

"Pardon Son of Otter, but 'as it occurred to anyone 'ere, that per'aps The Starseeker does not wish to be disturbed?  All I know, is the Technomage was up in 'ere, and she 'ad the most awful time with people pokin and a proddin 'er.  Maybe ya guvnor 'ere recalled that, and set 'imself up a 'do not disturb' field.  The Starseeker is a wise one 'e is.  Taught the Esper a thing or two, once upon a time, 'e did.  For that matter, where is The Esper?  'E usually likes to stick 'is nose into things like this.  Calls it 'proper 'ospitality', or some such."

Cutthroat nods. "So, Senator Shakran is missing too. The Chaos Wolves have indeed been busy. This is a matter for the NDF, if it threatens all those in the Nexus."

He looks at Bron, before continuing. "Like it or not, the Future Badgers were correct. They have removed from the Nexus AElf, Hyran, Tarkin, and now Senator Shakran. I will present this at the next Council Meeting."

::Bron looks down at the otter with a frown::   Not to throw a sabo in your cogs Cutthroat but, could it just be possible that they merely left instead of something more sinister?  Maybe they just have some important stuff they're considering right now.  Hyran however, maybe can use some assistance .. if we can find a way passed this barrier here  ::Bron nods his head over to the beacon::.

The dog scratches restlessly at the ground. "Tarkin is not missing. I know where he is. He's just busy."

Velguader circles the Beacon again. "It's like he's dying and reforming... I highly doubt we can actually get into the Beacon. I have no idea where he's going when he disappears, but that might be a better place to start."

The otter calmly nods. "Okay, that accounts for one. There are still a large number that have fallen victim to the Chaos Wolves. Now we need to find the rest. I can shoot the Beacon, that should break whatever shield in in place. Then we can grab Hyran if he comes back there. Before he dies again. Hopefully whatever is killing him won't kill us."

He thinks a moment longer. "Bron, you should grab him, you are the biggest and toughest of us all. Or we can get somebody bigger here."
