Re: Calgary, Alberta - Canada
Helen only shook her head at him before replying.
"The long and short of it is, the leaders of the Cabal seek to control any and every abnormal they can, and use them to force world leaders into giving them total control of the planet. They're leaders are descendants of Hitler's personal guard and still follow his ideals to this day. A year or so ago we accidently set free three abnormal sisters with intense telekinetic powers that the Cabal had been holding hostage, trying to find a way of controlling their power. We ended up at the time forced to return them, partially because they wished for us to do so, why I still don't know, they escaped and vanished completely shortly after the Cabal came to claim them. Since then, they've been trying to destroy the entire network as they view it as a threat. They're right, we won't stand for them to forcibly enslave abnormal or human alike.
The pixie thought a moment.
"Shit man, a good ten years now I guess. It's kinda strange til you get used to it. Hell, you want a real wake up call and a way of getting used to it faster? Go visit the telepathic mermaid on the ground level. Her name is Sally."
Sally seemed to bob her head in the water before replying.
"Then please, allow me to welcome you here. I do hope you'll find peace here, I can sense your ... apprehension. I can tell terrible things have happened to you, though not the specifics. I don't suppose you wish to relax some with a swim would you?"
Chris nodded slowly though his eyes perked a bit at the mention of disturbances.
"Hmm, so they set a trap ... Which means they had known about you and been tracking you somehow for quite some time. They never move in until they've found a 'perfect' ambush spot. Please, don't take any offense to this, but your probably very lucky Nikola DID show up there and catch them off guard. Most abnormals that the Cabal target who run solo ... they end up dead or captured. We still don't completely know what becomes of those abnormals they do manage to capture, but I can be sure it isn't pleasant.."
He chuckled slightly at her second comment.
"Yeah, New York City is something isn't it? I haven't been there in several years now. I actually was supposed to go there with Ashley, but Clara needed to be out in the field, so she's out in place of me. Ashley and I usually are ... well let's just say we're something of a couple and leave it there."
As Przemek drew closer to the tent, he began to smell something awful. For a moment, he might think it was sulfur from the smell, but then suddenly something MOVED inside of the flame and rubble, something BIG.
A few moments later, a hulking creature resembling a cyclops emerged, appearing to have crawled out from under the ground, and it looked very angry. The explosion cause wasn't clear, but what was clear was this creature was visibly angry.
