The gunshot broke up the cacophony that was the cafeteria.  A moment of stunned silence before rapid and quick action was taken as many people drew weapons or began exhibiting their powers to defend, attack or otherwise face whatever idiot had fire a weapon. 

The conversation between the Dreamer and the man known as Worren had been cut short, of course by the discharged firearm. However it was what the person who fired it carried that was of interest to Skallagrim, after all it was his own device. 

Rising and moving with swiftness that many would not have attributed to the skeletal being, Skallagrim stood next to the Clockwork being examining the energy traces to see where and when the Clockwork man had gone. 

The energy flow from the device to the skeletal being was clearly visible as a faint amethyst glow. Those able to discern such things easily would detect the amount of data being transferred and as such a rate that easily terabytes of data every few seconds flowed into the Dreamer.

Outside in the pool bar, the sound of the gun shot echoed faintly. Even so the men and women outside drew up in protective cover. General Freedom stood, his hands glowing cobalt blue as he stared at the entry way. Next to him, JT was awash in a sticky gooey substance. Kolskegg held a handful of reddish runes and a mug of beer. Jake’s hands crackled with energy, General Freedom growled, [color=6ecff6]“Alright boys, stay behind me until we can assess the situation. If it comes to a fight, focus on the biggest threat first.”[/color]

As a group they moved slowly towards the entrance, prepared to unleash what every fight they could against who knew what.
