Matt was outside the HQ making preparations for tracking down Magnus when the drone detonated, the blast forced him forward a few yards into a tree knocking him unconcious. He woke up about a hour later unsure of what just happened and stared at what was once the HQ filled with their equipment and important documents, as well as quite a few of their personell. He would find out who did this..and kill them himself. He struggled to his feet and leaned against the tree "Any and all surviving SOLDIER in the area bring what equipment you can and come back to what's left of HQ ASAP." He said into his radio. It's possible judging by Jack's past that he had did this for some odd reason..but he wasn't certain. All he knew was the person..or vampire..responsible would pay. 

Rhyss was driving around shooting any stray vampires he could see when he heard a huge explosion and looked in his mirror to see the equivilant of a mushroom cloud in the distance. He slammed on the breaks, turned, and went full speed back towards Kilo Point. He was about halfway there when he got Matt's radio. He had a very good idea of who it was judging by Jack's previous response, had he meant this as a warning? Looks like Rhyss just got a new target...

Magnus saw the explosion, he also felt Mithias's and someone else's presence dim, not dead.. He also knew where the blast came from. Perhaps he could now reason with SOLDIER...if they..no if he..could take down that warship his plans would be rather trivial. Magnus grinned and gathered up his things, circling around the mountain through the forest. If he could sneak up on someone important or that SOLDIER valued and held them hostage, perhaps they would listen to reason.. He reached the area of the forest near where his original cave was, thankfully he had relocated.. He could sense a Oldblood such as he as well as a human relatively nearby. Unsure if the Oldblood was with SOLDIER or not he decided to go for the human. He circled around the other presence and came up behind the human as quietly as possible, he lurched up behind him and put his left arm across his chest and his right claw to his back. "What the hell?! Get the fuck off me!" The man said. Magnus simply grinned "If you are wise you will stay still and let you and what's left of your men hear me out, it would also be wise to limit your movement. See, that cold spot on your back would be really sharp blades, make a wrong move and oops, there goes your spine. Got me?" Unable to move due to his captors strength the man simply grunted in response. "Now, move." Magnus said moving forward, keeping the man in front of his head but to the side enough for him to see. If they wanted to shoot him, they'd have to shoot this guy too.

He had heard his voice before, people listened to his commands when he spoke, he figured he was of importance. Magnus walked with him till they were on the front side of the HQ standing in the middle of the street. "Put down your weapons and calm yourselves or this man dies. I'll assume you know who I am, yes? I merely wish to speak with you for a moment, perhaps enlighten you. At the end of this conversation once we all have a better understanding I will release this man, and be on my way should you dis-agree. You see, I have a plan that cannot be done alone. I know you will most assuredly dis-agree at first, but I believe it is in your best intrest you hear me out till the end..yes indeed." 

"You see, SOLDIER is not what you brain washed little monkey's think it is all about. Sure, they wish to maintain order, THEIR order. Have you not noticed the decrease in Oldblood's such as myself? We Oldblood's hold much knowledge of the world and how it works, we were here before most of you were ever even born. Some, even before me, we refer to them as Ancient's. I do believe quite a few hold high politcal power and standing in the world yes? What would happen if they knew SOLDIER's true intentions of eliminating the whole of the vampire race? War would surely be immenient. I can assure you there are those older and far more powerful than I that wouldn't hesitate to destroy the entireity of SOLDIER and anything and everyone associated with them should they know this. I'm sure a few of you know about Jack and his experiments? Some of his SOLDIER's yes? Well, one of them just so happens to be a friend I long though dead. Turned against her will, into a machine barely human, stripped of all her memories. Yes, she was human, the one human who understood me. SOLDIER wants nothing more than Vampires to be eliminated so they can experiment on our kind and yours alike to fully control the world as a whole. Can't you see the bigger picture in all of this? They could give a damn less about balance, protecting humanity, any of it. All they want is the world and everyone in it to be controlled to do their bidding."

"Already SOLDIER is increasing their ranks, their armory, everything in the States and other countries. Now, step one is taking down that flying eyesore above me. Anyone who wishes to join me, feel free to do so. Anyone who still believes SOLDIER is for the better good, have fun being enslaved." Magnus grinned inwardly, he knew those with higher intelligence would side with him, just as Mithias did. Rhyss had pulled up at the edge of the forest minutes before Magnus started his speech, he silently walked up beside him and said "I'll join you, Magnus. It had been my plan all along to find you for the same purpose." Rhyss told him and thought 'more or less'.
