*nods* Yes, that I know. I guess we'll know, once the heavens start shaking with the power that's being summoned and expended?

I hope not. I hope they get the bastards first.

Hopefully they will show their hand prior to anything world ending happens.

Yea, they already have, I think. What we are unsure of is whether or not we correctly interpretted it....

Let me know what they are and perhaps I can help you with tracking them down.

Sorry for being vague. I was referring to the guys that led us to this cave in the mountain where apparently Hell on Earth is the plan for the lunar eclipse.

No problem. Hell on earth seems to be the running theme for the post-modern cultist.

Heh, yea, you are right.

The really scarey thing is that these guys do not seem to be post modern..

We can always hope that they screw up and frag themselves into oblivion.

We can't be that lucky, not to metion even if they try and die they could still endanger others by their act.

The part that worries me is that cage that was mentioned. Was anything in that thing when it was stolen?

Razor at one point I think you implied that there was something inside that Cage, do you know what it was?

Razor continues to remain quiet.

Damn it!

Uh, yes. I do. At least 2 government psions, and several entities of various nature. Some tectonic, a poltergiest or two, and a few other things. Creations of people dabbling in constructs. ('programmed' energy of a sort)

It was also useful for trapping minds, and spirits if need be.

That does not sound like a very good mix of things.

Especially the government agents bit

"I'm Smith... Agent Smith."

Well, at least it wasn't "J" or "K"

Yea, just like that.

Sounds like he ran over something.

That is assuming I am reading your post correctly.

I think what she was getting at was that it -hadn't- been run over anything. I think the mention of claw marks is particularly interesting. So Sakura, how does amarillo's CSI figure these 'claw marks' are in fact claw marks?

It sounds like the creature I just dealt with a few weeks ago, and believe I was dealing with in Pittsburgh. They are extremely proficient at causing mayhem on mechanical things.

Perhaps your tinker was dealing with more than he could handle?

So on top of the thieves you got gremlins running around, too?

Good luck with that and have fun. Hopefully there are only a 2-3 of the little fuckers.

consider this, the guys that stole from you and your significant other, might not have been stealing gear to go on the offensive, but may have needed them for defense, but might not have had the time to buy the stuff, or be nice and ask.

You are suggesting that the thieves might be needing some help asafp?

Maybe.

I mean, we haven't heard from Sakura about any other strikes, or usage 'wierd' weapons. As for me, I keep getting a sense of time running out, and some interesting experimental metaphysical weaponry. ... Sakura, there weren't any fire opals or rubies in the mix were there?

I doubt the gremlins hauled it away. I think our mystery thieves did. The wires and equipment and stuff would come in handy.

I got an idea they might use the radios for too, but we really don't have any psi-mechanics here on the boards that I could confer with... except maybe Sasha? I think Cola mentioned something about him being one or something similar? I know that Sakura can build odd devices, but usually just oriented toward helping her hunt.

I was thinking separate instances.
