“Desperate Measure”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKMpjtuIhX
Despite, however, of their unique, sometimes hard, history and all of their445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO6TetFqJ4
great accomplishments, both as individuals as well as a team, tonight they445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwpKdFVKec
will be tested as none have ever before. Their hard-honed skills as well as445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3EFtd4cyi
their very bonds to one another will be put to the test. There will be no room for luck,445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubqcl5NZd4
or any sort of blessing, for fate’s hand cannot reach the place they are headed.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRtrKRsQUZ
First, they will reach the top of that mountain staring at them, as it has always stared445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbPuyx2wA9
towards anything smaller than it, always inviting the brave and the ordered whilst445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsMwmIONl0
warning of the lesser. To its top they must go, and then as deep into the world as the445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQatjjrJ8q
path found there will take them. They are here under the command of those deeply445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0sWYwVdNU
afflicted by fear and greed, under the strict orders of their king, renowned for chasing445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HMPn5vBgc
magical butterflies but his five chosen do not care...445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9l6dAFFjv
“Let us keep pressing on...” Dhanel Marce kept on whipping them “The clock is445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWj4xT3dXG
ticking, and we are already late. Deena, you take point and Rhim you watch our back.”445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUCvHfaKkp
They continued pushing, steadily and in single file, always combat-ready and445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfACJWvL1bi
prepared for come what may. They cross a ghost town but each of these town’s ghosts445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlL2VtJkNr
doesn’t haunt any member of the Hervies Hand.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfEqUp4Cju
Not anymore.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ZZTYiPkb
This is a place like few others scattered across the known world and everyone pretty445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBiU985h9V
much knows of these, either by the travelling word or by the printing and publishing445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdJShJVJRe
of stories and studies on the matter, with this one, the town of Brosse being the most445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhk5xXSso5
famous of them all.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVtQA20IMa
Something big happened here. More sinister than most can imagine, and anyone445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokBDnjP0Ic
can prove. Once vivid homes and lively markets during night or day, alas the whole445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYPAcYvtCL
place is now but emptied. Where once crops stood proud, now mud and ash await,445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0HVOnIWs5
and where a strong and insightful river of sweeping blues and foaming whites with445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0kMNMDcJZ
many a fish jumping high all year long used to run, there is now but a trail of red sandy445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHHjVHtbIE
mud and blackened weeds. All like dragged bloodstains, leftovers of now missing lives.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU1Ju2GRWs
It is a sorrowful sight that easily demonstrates the celebration of death taking place445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Pv9yJidp
all around this place for that is all that this town is now; dead but never forgotten.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dC9zHB3QG
The five keep moving through all this, another misty ghost town but this one is445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKR9gLkSaG
unlike so many others.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEKvj9IUM6
There have been studies about it, quite a few concerning the ´Beriheim Incident´ or445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1owLA6A91
´Sky Event´ and of course Brosse being one of its most famous examples of collateral445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyVy8wf86T
damage, it cannot be left out. Still, it is quite different when one gets to see it all in445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYGFdu0fV
person rather than from behind safer pages.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN9KQDtomv
“Most of our electronics are already on the verge of disablement,” says Deena “and445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNdnKiRFzX
who knows how long till the rest follow.” she keeps pressing all the buttons on that445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgCnXDmMwZ
device strapped to her left wrist trying to verify what is still at their disposal.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6jrKqVjcN
“Aye...” Harigar Rhim adds from way back at the end of this five-man line “Already445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbj6dHSRaU
on the Bolt lander we could notice some of our systems failing. It started soon as we445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X12zFL1rG
crossed the border into this region, and it has only grown worse ever since we made445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXlyNHeIUo
the jump.”445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4d89VgHK5
“It was also affecting the Bolt Lander remember?” Dhanel Marce looks back towards445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW59zEUCKMn
him with a smile “That is why we were forced to make the jump in the first place.”445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniLBxvfaTw
A few steps of silence with Deena never taking her eyes from that gadget and then445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNdUH1xwou
Celle took her turn in voicing a certain concern or anxiety towards certain facts...445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpUdBK25Fw
“Sir, aren’t we supposed to be heading to one of our very own research facilities?”445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD1hWL6kgE
“That is correct Celle, and you already knew that.” short answer from Dhanel Marce445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKQvm3CEPP
who was expecting what followed.
