[INDENT]An alarm interrupted the Fist as Jim flipped his right forearm over, a compartment on the bottom of his artificial arm opening, ejecting his phone. On the screen, a proximity alarm was going off from one of the more sensitive locations on the campus. The sub-basement under the Academic Quadrangle had once been the lab of Isabelle Chrisitanson, a co-conspirator of the late Yakob Kowalski. The lab had been abandoned and closed off to students even before the flooding that ultimately led to its removal from the base of the academic building above it. 

Buried under the new basement by some of the school’s most powerful earth movers, few knew it still existed, and fewer still knew how to breach it. Jim had had sensors installed in the perimeter to monitor any activity in an out, but had opted not to monitor the interior due to rodents and moving 

[color=#ffffff]“Emergency?”[/color] Miguel asked, eying Jim with interest as his keen eyes studied the mechanical arm. [color=#ffffff]“Quite the souvenir, who gave you that?”[/color]

[color=#ffffff]“Hyperion.”[/color] Jim snapped, [color=#ffffff]“Didn’t see the Foundation swoop in to save the day then, could have used the Force on our side.”[/color]

[color=#ffffff]“The Force was created as the answer to Hyperion and his legacy.”[/color] The Fist responded in kind, [color=#ffffff]“But that’s neither here nor there at this moment, we can’t change the past,” He allowed himself a small smile, “[i]We[/i] can’t at least, though I would love to know where you’ve stashed Miss Parker,”[/color]

[color=#ffffff]“Nakamura sure does trust you with everything,”[/color] Jim retorted, [color=#ffffff]“But I’m not privy to any information about Miss Parker even as the Chancellor, and I sure as hell don’t want to be. Less I know about time travel, the less ibuprofen I have to mix in my whisky.”[/color] He waved a hand motioning for the Fist to follow as Jim walked back towards a majestic black stallion.

[color=#ffffff]“Come along, you’re going to have to ride on the back-”[/color] He was interrupted as the Fist held up a hand before de-cloaking a nearby motorbike.

[color=#ffffff]“Tell me where to go and I’ll meet you there.”[/color] Miguel smiled. Jim tipped his hat before mourning the beautiful horse.

[color=#ffffff]“The Academic Quadrangle, there’s a maintenance shaft to the basement around the North West corner.”[/color] Jim ordered, [color=#ffffff]“The hallways will lead to the breach into the sub-basement, it used to hold Christianson’s lab, but it’s supposed to be abandoned.”[/color]

[color=#ffffff]“Then hopefully that’s where we’ll find your missing students.”[/color] The Fist replied, climbing onto the motorcycle and tossing his long coat over his arms. Pressing a decorative stud on the collar of his shirt, a helmet appeared over his head and face as the ablative plating rapidly expanded from the back of his neck.

[color=#ffffff]“I still want to know everything about Amma,”[/color] Jim yelled over the roar of the First’s engine. Miguel offered a cold smirk from behind the tinted glass of his helmet.

[color=#ffffff]“Then we best hope for a happy ending to cheers over a glass of your finest bourbon.”[/color][/INDENT][/INDENT][/COLOR]
