[quote=@The Patriarch] Adam watched as they were stopped by a road block with a bunch of guards and saw that they had heavy weapons aimed at their vehicle. It would be unwise to to go out guns blazing and possibly get them killed. "What do we do now?" Mountain Lion asked him as he cracked his knuckles. "We try the diplomatic approach, I'll talk to them and see if I can them believe that we are metahumans working for the Islamic State. if things go sour then I want you to attack them as quick as possible" Adam instructed and John nodded. Adam stepped out of the vehicle and spoke them in Syrian. Mountain Lion followed not too far behind. He heard some of the men give whisper of nervousness. "We are new recruits for the Islamic State's metahuman soldiers, we were hoping to find a place of recruitment. As you can see we are very skilled in the arts of combat and killing, we will gladly take the chance to take up arms against the west" he said to them, hoping that it was convincing enough to get them past the roadblock. [/quote] The commander looked at them. "Good we need some metas for a job in the nearby village." After a brief discussion the commander seemed to have no issue with them. The commander takes them to the nearby village. In the nearby village there was something odd. There were foreign soldiers, they were wearing green shaded camouflage. But noticeably they had current weapons of the Russian Federation. As they drove deeper into this village they saw more and more Russians. These men were carrying themselves like they were Spestnaz. There seemed to be an operation of sorts in the ruins at the edge of town. There were light towers, tractors, and digging equipment. IT was odd ISIS was taking care of this site as they had ruined ancient monuments before then why was this location spared and why were the Russians so invested in it.Something was up but Adam and Mountain Lion were not let closer to that site. The command pointed at the site. "Do not go there unless you have permission. The Russians will shoot you dead."
