Chapter Four346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ffaxmbckn
“Desperate Measure”
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L1QJ6h4rm
Despite, however, of their unique, sometimes hard, history and all of their346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGXqWaQdJP
great accomplishments, both as individuals as well as a team, tonight they346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5xaieeVM7
will be tested as none have ever before. Their hard-honed skills as well as346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrEUULFGLd
their very bonds to one another will be put to the test. There will be no room for luck,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuVXGVbgL0
or any sort of blessing, for fate’s hand cannot reach the place they are headed.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHSBVmfI6u
First, they will reach the top of that mountain staring at them, as it has always stared346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHxOz5hhFs
towards anything smaller than it, always inviting the brave and the ordered whilst346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTNJKkc878
warning of the lesser. To its top they must go, and then as deep into the world as the346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX3YJ4HhwN
path found there will take them. They are here under the command of those deeply346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICP3TRU0Lm
afflicted by fear and greed, under the strict orders of their king, renowned for chasing346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48OfT9gWMf
magical butterflies but his five chosen do not care...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEcviGdmgA
“Let us keep pressing on...” Dhanel Marce kept on whipping them “The clock is346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnP4AcGi1U
ticking, and we are already late. Deena, you take point and Rhim you watch our back.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7owMCNKKW
They continued pushing, steadily and in single file, always combat-ready and346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAR21mipqf
prepared for come what may. They cross a ghost town but each of these town’s ghosts346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lnhcf07IL
doesn’t haunt any member of the Hervies Hand.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlcuKeUZJ7
Not anymore.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBTvb8g9QB
This is a place like few others scattered across the known world and everyone pretty346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOQN51JUoC
much knows of these, either by the travelling word or by the printing and publishing346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCJIQTegn
of stories and studies on the matter, with this one, the town of Brosse being the most346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf06s6dz12n
famous of them all.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBHnKdXzjW
Something big happened here. More sinister than most can imagine, and anyone346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyezyFfsv0
can prove. Once vivid homes and lively markets during night or day, alas the whole346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWr2TQQ7Xi
place is now but emptied. Where once crops stood proud, now mud and ash await,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ68JpwYyn
and where a strong and insightful river of sweeping blues and foaming whites with346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKyxfFEdMR
many a fish jumping high all year long used to run, there is now but a trail of red sandy346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nG7pPWoez
mud and blackened weeds. All like dragged bloodstains, leftovers of now missing lives.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbru9AXR1uG
It is a sorrowful sight that easily demonstrates the celebration of death taking place346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz4iMrbpvW
all around this place for that is all that this town is now; dead but never forgotten.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3tszMki4v
The five keep moving through all this, another misty ghost town but this one is346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmhzjtPmjQ
unlike so many others.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq4xtssa6a
There have been studies about it, quite a few concerning the ´Beriheim Incident´ or346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtvkrkxgEP
´Sky Event´ and of course Brosse being one of its most famous examples of collateral346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtDKfaMK27
damage, it cannot be left out. Still, it is quite different when one gets to see it all in346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodLikGpgYz
person rather than from behind safer pages.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFzqWsQ6SN
“Most of our electronics are already on the verge of disablement,” says Deena “and346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNgrhXCRA
who knows how long till the rest follow.” she keeps pressing all the buttons on that346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2kOJsYRUr
device strapped to her left wrist trying to verify what is still at their disposal.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzRj4xS4PG
“Aye...” Harigar Rhim adds from way back at the end of this five-man line “Already346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsugE9yuXyc
on the Bolt lander we could notice some of our systems failing. It started soon as we346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVKaXNHw6h
crossed the border into this region, and it has only grown worse ever since we made346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ENc1dR9w
the jump.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5h1HYcoUS
“It was also affecting the Bolt Lander remember?” Dhanel Marce looks back towards346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0QKwMI0Ri
him with a smile “That is why we were forced to make the jump in the first place.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbOvDZYkJp
A few steps of silence with Deena never taking her eyes from that gadget and then346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8vfCE0bF6
Celle took her turn in voicing a certain concern or anxiety towards certain facts...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dfz3Ye0Ch
“Sir, aren’t we supposed to be heading to one of our very own research facilities?”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezPupjWEeK
“That is correct Celle, and you already knew that.” short answer from Dhanel Marce346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDNHyaqd20
who was expecting what followed.
