There was extensive damage but extremely professional job. So the damage was mostly to his apartment.

The inside information: prime suspects are not Earth natives.

And furthermore: recently, upon returning to Moscow from the States, Lyosha had a strange encounter with some traffic cops, DPS (Road Patrol Service). When he went inside to pay his "fine" he was met by two men that spoke fluent Russian, but they had a strange accent, one which Lyosh had never heard before. He also said they looked somewhat like Spock. They asked him for something, but he could not understand what. It sounded like the English word "saline". They repeated the question five times before letting him go. After he come here to Nalchik, his apartment was bombed.

Fuck! What the hell is going on over there?

I didn't do it... Um... Is there any way of spotting these spock people again?

I have an idea, but you guys might call me crazy... then again if most people ... nevermind

I have no idea what is happening.

At this point, I do not know if it is connected with our current investigation or not.

Well let's hear it. We already reached crazy.

Not sure how to contact these men either. They just sort of seem to come and go in puffs of smoke/thin air sort of thing.

With as often as weird stuff happens, and the way that even with as ... low power as Earth is now it's still a crossroads. ... Maybe they're either a different type of human, OR the craziest idea of 'em.... Elves? I dunno.

It's possible, but... I dunno. Jumping to conclusions.

We are going with the theory that it was a message.

These guys want whatever "Saline" is really bad. So we guess that they will be contacting Lyosha again...

The problem, we still are no closer to figuring out what the hell "Saline" is or where it might be.

I do not know much about elves. From what I think I know, they are far more delicate natured.

But given all the summoning going on, who knows.

Perhaps some kind of evil/vile elf... like orcs and humans or whatever.

God, this is so not my league.

What is Lyosha's specialty?

That's why I asked.

I just hope... ohhh do I hope they don't want a certain dream demon that goes by the same name (different spelling.)

"Dream Demon"?

Start talking.

Razor wrote:What is Lyosha's specialty?

Pretty much a sensitive. No speciality specifically...

!!! OMG! .... RON! You're a GENIUS! .... Somebody, anybody ... if you can replicate Evil Ron's energy signature I can send that little bastard to a nice little corner of hell he will never get out of!

Yes, Bert is correct. Start talking.

Ron Caliburn wrote:Ar you sure Saline is a what and not a who or a where or even a how?

No.

They asked plainly "where is saline". Could be any of those things.

These guys, they just repeated the question - they did not respond to anything that was not an answer to the question.

I've moved this over here to keep from overcrowding his thread.

Any reason why mortals would be looking for her?

To release her?

To kill her?

?

Come to think of it, why would they ask Lyosha....

Could be elfs, yes, although 'saline' is not elfish word.

I research... (seems I am the broken phonograph, ah? )

Yea, and you got those religious symbols we videotaped and photographed inside the cave entrance, too.

The lunar eclipse is approaching...

Ok as I was leaveing Bert and said my good byes to Kolya, Natasha, and company, I had a strange encounter. I had three "men?" in what looked like local police uniforms come up to me, I was to say the least a tad concerned as I was still carrying most of my load out on me at the time most of it was in a bag Kolya had given me, But I was still thinking "OH SHIT!!!".
Then they spoke to me in freaking English! They said " You are the Shadowstalker yes?" I was ready to bolt or do something but I was noticeing some weird stuff, First off when they spoke it was not with a Russian accecnt, I'm not sure what kind of accent it was, but it seemed familar? Then there was the fact these guys looked a lot alike.
So I say "Yes I am Shadowstalker." I also tried to scan these guys. They seemed pleased with my response.
They then Asked me "Where is Saline?" My efforts to scan these guys was going no where they had some kind of major Mental Sheilds going on.
I said " What, I don't understand? What is Saline?" they only repeated the Question.
We did this dance for about a miniute or so, then they started to walk away. I was a tad annoyed so I tried to grab one of them to ask what this was all about. But as soon as I had my hand on one of them they all vanished in a puff of smoke.
Kolya I got to go check on some stuff, in case we get a repeat of Lyosha's experiance. Later.

I suggest you have anyone who lives in your apartment leave.

We really need to find these guys and get some more information about what the hell is going on.

It must be related to the eclipse.

Like Ron says, look for the pattern.

I anticipate these guys to be more busy next days.

I don't have an Apartment, but I do have a Condo that my sister is staying at. I gotta go check, She hasn't answered my calls yet.

Oh, no.

I hope the best!

Galya will be in touch with you Natasha...
