Is your contact not ready yet?

@Artifact

He should arrrive within the next twenty minutes....

Myriad Reality

*the area around us looks as if It hadnt been touched bt human hands in ages. The sand sticks to the walls, coating the cave in a light brown hue. I wipe a bit of dust from my visor, and look around, listening in the silence for hidden noises*

Keep your eyes peeled while we wait.

Is it taboo to fend them off or something?

@Revolutionary

Certain creatures, yes. The Great Worms here are regarded with a deity like status. It creates the spice in the sands we stand on.

*Follows without saying anything*

@Artifact

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Follows in the back of the group once everyone else is through*

@Revolutionary

*once we walk through, the heat begins to fully take effect*

Thank you all for taking this journey with me. Our contact should be here shortly. They will teach us how to traverse the sands to avoid any unecessary contact with the planet's wildlife and other potential threats.

@Extra@Artifact@Revolutionary

Alright... Let's head out.

*opens a portal, as heat and sand rush through, showing the inside of a cave*

Are we not just some outworlders anyway?

@Revolutionary

Its... well, you'll see.

*Disappears and reappears in a flash, wearing the suit*
Hopefully the full training won't be done in this thing.

@Revolutionary

Unfortunately, I don't have any further details on the training. Its likely we'll need this for most of our time. Also, for reference, we are ot keep from blowing our cover. If they find out we're more than just some outworlders like they're used to, then this could be a problem. We'll be briefed on their customs upon our arrival.

It definitely seemed like we should be using our time wisely.

@Revolutionary

I agree. Lets get this show on the road.

*walks to a backroom, and a few minutes later, comes back with my stillsuit on, waiting on the others*

@Extra@Revolutionary@Artifact

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Alright, I won’t argue.

@Revolutionary

Thank you. Also, sorry for.. whatever just happened. I wasn't expecting a phonecall quite like that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Admittedly, I'm making sacrifices. But it's necessary, given the turnout of volunteers up through now.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Turns it over, looking at it*
Sounds like we oughta use this time wisely. I don't need this, for obvious reasons, unless you need me to match uniforms with the team.

@Revolutionary

It would help. You look very human.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

You betcha.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Hope you rested up nicely.

@Revolutionary

Good.

*tosses you a still suit, explainign what its for*

Put that on and we'll head out.

*a call rings out from my phone, and I check it*

...

*picks it up, putting it on speaker*

...Father what's going on? I can barely hear you-

Alucard: I'm buying you some time. Aeron was on his way to the main headquarters to the EDB. I'm keeping him busy for a moment. You need to act fast. Finish that training. I can handle this until then.

Shinji: dad, you need to get out of there, he'll kill you!

Alucard: I know that is a possibility, but since when has death stopped me before? Ill find a way back to you. I promise. I love you, son.

Shinji: ... I love you too.

Alucard: the sun is always brightest after the rain. Keep pressing on, my child. I'm proud of you.

*the call clicks, alucard having hung up*

Wait, dad! .... FUCK.

*crushes my phone in my bare hands*
