I have ground level entry. Proceeding inside. With extreme caution and prejudice.

This is Holister, I have entry on top floor. I can't see KT anywhere, but I see movement. Can anyone reach KT....

Dam it...I need backup up here ASAP.

Shang approaches the front door and seems to be studying it for a moment.

A swift movement caves in a portion of the wall around the door as the door blows inward.

KYUUKETSUKI!!!! THE TIME FOR THIS EXISTANCE IS OVER!!

Just a mirror, proceeding with caution. Where the hell is KT guys. Come on Im alone up here and I don't like silence.

Blades sheathed, with a methodical, deliberate stride Shang Li walks in and down the hall.

KYUUKETSUKI!!!! I COME TO BRING YOUR LIFE TO IT"S BALANCE!!!

Uh, Bert, still no KT. Im proceeding with extreme caution.

Where the hell is everyone else. I though Shade's and KT's people were suppose to provide backup.

Bert? Damn it!

I called in the fire Department to take care of these damn mirrors and I'mhearing voices now.

Guys, I'm stuck on the top floor. It's dark, there're mirrors everywhere, and at the foot of the stairs, there's a nice little horde of spiritual horrors. No sign of the girl, or anyone else for that matter...

I'm feeling a little lost and alone up here...

Wait... Bert, voices?

Mirrors....?

Why would a vampire have so damn many mirrors?

Bert, if you can hear me...answer.

Think about it: If a vampire doesn't cast a reflection, a single mirror will give him away. A ton of mirrors will hide his movements.

Wait, Ben, if you're in here, why am I not picking you up on the radio...?

Could be the ringing in his ears.. heh.

Seriously Bert, what are the voices saying and do what do they sound like?

Well, its hard to say. One was in my head and the other out of the walls. And they were telling me to do stuff, go this way, do this, blech.

Do you recognise any? Specifically or generally.

Like my old friend Bob said...

Sounds like a little girl saying...

That sort of stuff.

KT if you are one the same floor as mem stay put. Ill find you. Meanwhile, keep talking.

Not really.

What the hell was that?

Damn it.

Ok KT, Im homin' in on your beacon. Do not move.

Im in but there were some major nasties waiting Banshees, Haunting entities. And some characters that looked like somethig out of a Hellraiser movie? Oh and one very done in Psi, the bastard was powerful thou, I need a moment to catch my breath, then I will look for KT and the rest. My people have hooked up with Celeste.

Almost 5 hours have passed since my last report, Some force is screwing with the coms, I couldn't find KT anywhere, no response from any of the others. Batteries are low, had to replace them once a little while ago.

Not even a word from Bert, KT, Shades, or even Celeste. Im lost somewhere on the sixth floor. Where is everybody?

Its gone past the mission perimeters, we failed.

If only we had more intel, more prep time, maybe if we followed the protocols as we should of. The protocols, yes...so tired. Im gonna head back to the top floor and bail while I can. As far as I know, they are all dead. Bert rigged the place to blow, I think he said that. I have to complete the mission.

I have to get out again, and set the charges. At least I would have neutralized the target. Yes..phase two...got to get back topside.

Wait, what are you guys talking about? I last posted, what, ten minutes ago? Tops? What's this talk of mission failure and demolishing the building?

Anyway, I'm on the 9th floor, now... How'd you get so far down so fast, Ben?

And where'd all the monsters go...?

Wait... My last post was 10:26, in whatever time zone this forum uses...and that post was damned near "5AM"...

...What the hell is happening, here?

Just pulled up in the hotel parking lot (got lost again due to a couple of disagreements with Google Maps--I thought that I was at an overpass, Google insisted it was an on-ramp, for instance)...

What in the name of Lazlo is going on?

And where do you guys need me?

I didn't rig the building to explode, I rigged the exits in case the surveilance teams needed to stop people from coming out. And don't you dare blow up the building Ben.
