After a good ten minutes Launa came back I hoped in a better frame of mind. "Okay, Sayber what's up next this Nova can get started first thing Monday morning. Since we're going to play a little catch up this weekend after his month away." Launa said. The tiopard took a moment to go over what she had planned next for me to learn. "I was going to have him work on remaining in his were beast state." She replied.

Seeing as I've been studying under her for the past two months straight. She was hoping to build up my endurance while in my third form for three weeks. Than have a big review on everything she had me do during the final seven days. "You know something a review doesn't sound like a half bad idea, everyone. A test would allow us to gauge just how much Nova has improved since he started." Azzy said.

Even Sabrina sided with the raven that it would be a good idea for a refresher. "Nova you're to finish your training under Sayber than you can relax and study. This way the four of us can take a couple days to prepare a midterm exam for you." Launa informed. As I went to agree with my teacher's plan my stomach filed a complaint. One that was loud enough that all four women heard and couldn't help but, laugh.

"I'm all for it ladies but, I don't suppose we could take a lunch break first?" I wondered. With a wave of her hand everyone followed Launa back into the hotel for lunch. Where she cooked a meal large to feed three entire villages for at least a month. While we ate for some reason no matter how much I had eaten I was still hungry. Passing this information along to Launa where she and Azzy came over to find out.

"Nova I'm going to be as honest as I can but, your soul is growing weak. My guess is that when ever you use your powers whether by reflex or on purpose. It requires a certain amount of energy from your very soul to power that ability. Sadly I don't know how you can replenish it, who knows it might recharge overtime." Azzy pointed out. All of a sudden someone I had nearly forgotten about had decided to speak up.

<In order to regain your full strength you will need to feast upon fresh souls. Knowing you such a concept will certainly disgust you but, to survive you'll have to. Considering you require two sources of food or you won't last the rest of the week. Normal food will keep your physical body going but, not your semi-separate soul. Seeing as your strength and powers are growing so too has your appetite.> Courahn stated.

Silently grumbling at the fact that trapped god's assessment happened to be correct. There's a slight problem where exactly could I find the other source of food I need. Since I'm not about to go out into a populated area to harvest all the souls I'll require. Carefully I took what he shared but, turned it around into the form of a question. Everyone sorta scratched their heads trying to find a solution to this odd problem.

Snapping her fingers Launa recalled an old contact that could obtain anything. Granted it's been a few centuries since their last transaction so he might've retired. The only way she could know for sure was to contact him and ask him directly. Of course there's a chance he's passed on by now until another idea struck the feline. A cemetery would be a decent source of soul energy with lingering residual spirits.

"I was going to contact an old business partner but, I doubt he's still living. There's one place we can go that might have plenty of soul energy for you to feed on. That also won't require taking it from someone that's alive, what about a cemetery?" Launa stated. My head whipped around so fast that it actually caused Sabrina to jump in response. Looking up at my teacher while my mind was hard at work crunching the numbers.

<Hmm, given this location and the lives lost here there should be plenty. Though I wouldn't hold my breath souls do lose potency over long periods of time. The odds are fifty, fifty at best that they're still strong enough to sustain you.> Courahn replied. My ears twitched annoyingly upon hearing that which Launa happen to see. Glaring at me briefly and figured that I was still thinking her suggestion over.

Though for some reason or another something about my expression bugged her. Fortunately she let the matter go figuring that whatever it was wasn't important. Even Azzy sensed something was amiss but, she was able to keep it to herself. Though it didn't stop her from trying to peer into my mind which I denied her access. Catching the avian off guard but, she respected the fact I wanted some privacy.

With that we split up to find and mark every cemetery this old city possessed. Luckily for a city of this size there were at least a half a dozen large cemeteries. Along with more than twenty smaller ones that were scattered all over the place. The next question was just how in the hell could I gather and ingest these souls. If I knew Courahn he wasn't going to share such information with me willingly.

Granted it was a shock that he shared such information regarding this new diet. <Okay, Lord Courahn any thoughts on how to gather these souls so I can eat? Or are you going to leave me to figure it out on my own and starve to death> I asked mentally. Sure enough not a peep came from my spiritual guest not that I was surprised. With sigh I vaulted into the air and landed on a nearby rooftop and looked around.

Keeping an eye out for any sort of signal from my teachers and sure enough. From off to my far left a car was thrown several yards into the air then crashed. Running off in its direction jumping from rooftop to rooftop like a skilled parkour. When I reached Sabrina's location I jumped into the air and landed on the ground. "Well, here you go Nova it's not very big but, I'm sure it'll make a decent snack." Sabrina said.

Patting her on the elbow then walked into the cemetery and sniffed the air. Next I began to hear whispers then if by instinct I extended my hand out in front. A few seconds later these little beads of white light began to appear all around me. By this time I somehow was able to draw them into my hand creating an orb. Once all of the soul in this cemetery was gathered I placed the orb against my mouth.

Just like drinking from a canteen the soul energy flowed down my throat. Until the orb had vanished from sight then it took a few minutes for them to digest. Sure enough I felt my strength returning over time as a fireball lit up the sky. The energy possessed Azzy's signature so Sabrina and I tracked the raven down. Roughly two miles later we found her standing outside a much larger graveyard.

Thanking Azzy for the find then asked the pair to stand clear of this location. Repeating the process I used earlier to gather all of the abundant souls into my hand. As the last few traces of soul energy were gathered then I proceeded to ingest them. From where Azzy and Sabrina stood they noticed my back glowing faintly at first. "Why I do get the feeling that might be a weakness of some kind?" Azzy asked.

"We should inform the others and Nova once he is done stuffing his face. Hopefully between all of us we can do something before it becomes a major liability." Sabrina replied. Feeling better now I rejoined the others as a loud roar bellowed from the west. Shifting into my feral form leaving Azzy and Sabrina to go meet up with Sayber. For the next three hours I ate until my body couldn't take in anymore soul energy.

Now that I'm back at full strength Azzy revealed what she and Sabrina learned. "Nova could you please turn around for me and lift up your shirt for me." Launa said. Doing as she asked then flinched when her large hand pressed against my back. "Good find Azzy I hate to say this but, your spine happens to be a weak point. Sadly I'm not sure exactly how we can strengthen this unless you've got an idea?" She added.

"Actually now that you mention it there's someone that can help with this Launa. Though it would require that we head back to Sensei Ballista's school to ask him." I replied. Sensei Gohan was the only person that could patch this weakness for the time being. Until we can discover a more permanent solution somewhere down the road. With that I fetched the medallion from my room and chanted the incantation.

The portal opened in spectacular fashion and before we could enter the portal. Someone beat us to it and walked through then confidently approached us. "Hello, everyone any particular reason why you called or did you miss me?" Ballista asked. Chuckling at her smart remark then explained my situation and she agreed to help. She walked back through the portal then came back with Gohan right behind her.

Explaining to him what Azzy and Sabrina had found hoping that he can fix it. "Of course my student give me a few minutes to fetch my things from the clinic." Gohan smiled. With that he walked back through the open gateway while Ballista and Launa talked. She was curious to know how much I've progressed since leaving the school. Naturally Launa was more than happy to tell the phoenix dragon about my progress.

This pleased smile came to her face though I did see some concern in her eyes. "I'm glad he's coming along nicely though I must ask is he using weighted clothing?" Ballista asked. Launa shook her head no then asked her about the benefits of using such equipment. "Using that specialty gear permits anybody to train when time not a luxury. Believe it or not Nova has used it in the past and showed great results." She stated.

"Hmm, so you're saying if I have him wear that stuff he'd progress a lot faster?" Launa replied. Ballista removed one of her wrist bands then offered it to her and watched intently. Taking the band from the phoenix mix and when Ballista released the arm band. Launa went from standing upright to landing hard on her hands and knees. "HEILIGE, SHIT!" She cursed in her native language then struggled to stand up.

Muscles bulging with power and size yet, the band only seemed to get heavier. "Okay, sensei I believe you made your point and before Launa has heart attack." I said. All the while Launa is cussing up a storm trying to lift the arm band she received. Looking to my teacher she walked over and easily took her arm band from her. Slipping it back onto her left arm with little resistance like Launa had experienced.

"Damn, what kind of magic allows that to shift weight depending on the wearer?" Launa asked. Of course Ballista was more than happy to share such information with the feline. She warned her to take it easy despite being immortal she could really hurt herself. "Don't worry I have a density spell I use when I'm in the mood for a real workout. What you just shared with me will take my hobby to a new level." She added.

"I'm glad I could help, ah, Gohan has returned let's go see if he needs us for anything." Ballista smiled. With that we followed Gohan into the hotel, Launa and the others refurbished. Next he had me remove my shirt then had me lay down on a table face down. From there he began tracing my chi from head to toe mapping my body's energy. Once a base line was established he fetched a few needles from his satchel.

Doing my best as he placed one needle per each key chi point along my spine. "Everything looks good my student as for this weakness your friends mentioned. I'm going to create a patch that'll work at least until I can create a permanent solution. Nova, under no circumstance should you get careless or the patch will break." He stated. Promising to do my best he began the delicate work of covering this weakness.

For the next three hours Gohan worked tirelessly weaving the energy into a seal. That would allow this weak point to be protected from most forms of attack. Granted it'll wear off over time but, it'll hold until Gohan finds a better method. Trusting in my teacher while everyone watched and wondered if he'll make good. Even Ballista had her doubts from what I could sense while my teacher worked.

After five and half hours Gohan began to remove the needles from my back. "My work is done, listen Nova I want you to hold off on training for a couple of days. The patch needs that time to attune itself to your body's energy and solidify." Gohan stated. Slowly getting up from the table and looked around the room at everybody. Hopping off the table then bowed to my teacher thanking him for all his work.

"You're very welcome my student I'll let you know the second I've got a better fix. Ms. Viander, I trust you'll keep our student from getting in over his head." He added. Promising to do her best and personally thanked him and Ballista for their help. Bowing once again and wished my teachers safe passage as they entered the portal. As the portal closed behind them I couldn't help but, worry how long it'll last.

Seeing as I was training with some of the most powerful warriors and mages around. "So it looks like we're going to really pull our punches for the next two days, huh? To bad I was really getting a really great work out sparring with you." Sabrina said. Everybody rolled their eyes in response to the super werewolf's comment. I had to admit that our sparring sessions have proven beneficial for me as well.

"You know since he can't do much physical training let's do some mental training. Before we begin go change out of those clothes and put the weighed stuff on. This way you can still workout without putting too much strain on that patch." Azzy stated. In major need of a shower I went upstairs grabbed some fresh training clothes. Along with some weighted gear from the marked totes then jumped in the shower.

The hot water felt good as it slowly soaked into my fur, skin and muscles. As I applied soap onto the scrub brush then my strong hearing over heard Launa. From what I could hear through the shower head and the thick floor underneath me. She was discussing a few things but, the subject was about my future prospects. To be perfectly honest I was worried about such a topic as well so I listened closely.

"Alright, Launa out with it you've been acting strange ever since we left his tribe. Look we all know that Coreencia charged you to teach Nova to control his powers. Granted you weren't overly thrilled when his strange powers brought us together. What I'd like to know is why are you putting this barrier between you and him? Nova hasn't done anything to us but, bust his ass to win our approval." Sabrina began.

"Don't you even think about denying it Launa I've been around you long enough. Every goal we've set for him that he's reached or surpassed the more you push away. Sure Nova's been dealt a shitty hand but, he's trying so hard to turn that around. What's annoying me the most is that you haven't praised him one despite his success." She informed. Having heard all that I was reminded of something Launa told me a while back.

"Launa, she happens to be correct when ever Nova is around you distance yourself. Be honest with us are you hoping that he fails so it easier for you to deal with. You're not the only person in this room that hasn't been stabbed in the back before. You can't deny that he has done everything that we've asked of him and more." Sayber added. Shock plastered upon her face upon hearing the tiopard speak those very words.

It was the truth Launa was distancing herself while waiting for the right moment. For the instant that I dropped the ball thus allowing her to put an end to all of this. Despite all the progress I've made over the months under their skilled tutelage. Having heard all of that it brought to the surface dark memories of my childhood. With a heavy sigh I finished bathing, dried off then put on the clothes I left close by.

By the time I rejoined everyone my emotions had turned inward and became rage. Unfortunately Azzy was the first of the group to see me beyond pissed off. This menacing aura was pulsating around me as the others turned and saw. "I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT I'M SUCH A ****ING INCONVENIENCE TO YOU! SO GUESS WHAT, I'M GOING TO FACE COREENCIA ALL BY MYSELF!" I shouted.

Before anyone could say anything in their defense I extended my hands out. Then with a thunderous clap this huge portal opened and sent all four warriors home. Leaving me to the solitude of this abandoned city to continue my training alone. For the next three days straight I pushed myself to my breaking point and beyond. Though on the evening of the fourth day the weather literally matched my mood.

Pouring buckets outside I sat in the windowsill of my room watching the rain. For some reason I looked over at my nightstand and there sat a large notebook. The subject written in the subject box the words "Nova's log book." writing in it. Launa had given this to me not long after we returned from our stay with my tribe. She told me this was a great way to record and keep my sanity during my training.

Hoping the next morning the weather would be better but, it hadn't changed. What I didn't expect was Launa or the others to come back to the Haunt willingly. Mutually agreeing to leave everything that happened in the past and push forward. Now that would've been the case if Launa didn't ask how my powers emerged. Sadly that was a wound that has yet, to heal though I tried telling them anyway.

Being unable to handle it after awhile as I got up and teleported up to the roof. It wasn't long before Sabrina tracked me down and shared her tragic past with me. She didn't hide the smile when I expressed my urge to harm her ex-boyfriend. Sabrina admitted that she was soft on the jerk but, is perfectly happy with David. I asked her to give David a message if he ever hurts her than I'd skin him alive.

Playfully punching me in the arm then told me she'd tell him when she sees him. With that she got up and left giving me space where I asked the spirits for help. It was around this time when a strange energy signature made itself known to me. After chasing it blindly at first only to stumble upon a forgotten weapons cache. Sayber suggested we should sleep on it then decide what to do about it today.

I didn't get much in the way of sleep upon listening to that strange message. In addition to discovering that I spoke a language Launa had never encountered before. That also included the resident artificial intelligence and the term Shadow Walker. For some reason or another that name seemed sickeningly familiar but, didn't. Deciding to consult the only person alive long enough to have heard it before.

Partially separating myself then traversed deep into my mind to Courahn's cell. "Well, isn't this a surprise what brings you to my humble little place, mortal?" He asked. Not really wasting time mincing words I said "Shadow Walker" making him jump. Confirming my hunch that this was a term the fallen god has heard in the past. "Judging from your reaction this term means something to you." I pointed out.

"You have no idea what those two words mean to me boy and to you as well. A race that can trace it's bloodline back to the very existence of life on this planet. No one knew of our existence until the construction of Atlantis was completed. That's about all I know that computer in the cache should have detailed records." He replied. The god left me with a lot of information to process as I quietly left his prison.

Just as Azzy walked into my room to wake me up to get ready for training. When the raven saw that I hadn't even gone to bed and asked me if I slept last night. Shaking my head no as I stood up and headed downstairs to the empty dining room. Luckily she wasn't far behind then had me follow her to where the others were. "Morning everyone, okay Launa since you're the weapons expert any thoughts?" I asked.

"Hmm, Nova since you're the one that found the cache the decision is yours. Make sure that what ever you decide you've put enough thought into that choice. Now you did mention letting us have one of those weapons as a token of thanks. That's a very sweet gesture hun but, make sure this is something you want to do." She replied. Despite all the bumps in the road doing this would be giving back to my teachers.

"Alright, Launa one thing still puzzles me though the message that was played. My head is still swimming after learning I can to speak a dead ancient language. The cache doors won't unlock until after lunch time so we've got plenty of time." I said. With that we headed back inside where I spent a couple hours cooking. Azzy helped make enough food to satisfy everyone at least until later this afternoon.

After placing everything onto the table Azzy ordered me to go take a shower. Then take a nap seeing as I didn't get much in the way of sleep the night before. Nodding alright I headed upstairs, stripped down and stepped under the shower head. I felt my body relax as the hot water soaked into my fur, skin and tired muscles. Grabbing some soap then proceeded to wash up, rinse, dry off and brush all my fur.

Putting on a fresh shirt, boxers and pants I headed down the hall to my room. Were I tried to get some sleep but, sadly if I'm up I won't go to sleep until tonight. Looking around the room I noticed something I hadn't since coming to this place. It was grandpa's Kay Acoustic Guitar, Yvonne must've packed it with my things. Standing back up I removed it from the stand along with the case and sat down.

Taking a moment to tune the strings till they were perfect and thought of a song. Before I knew it the melody of a song filled the room an all to familiar one too. Granted I haven't had much practice playing this one but, I found myself relaxing. Having heard the song enough times on the radio it was easy remembering the lyrics. Though for some reason or another I found myself wanting to sing it aloud.

"Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by, like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got the dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody sin You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life Is books, written pages Live and learn from fools and From sages You know it's true, oh All these feelings come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, Dream on, Dream on Dream until your dreams come true Dream on, Dream on, Dream on Dream until your dreams come true Dream on, Dream on, Dream on Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, Dream on

Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away." I sang softly.*

(*Link to Aerosmith's Dream On; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHRNSeuvzl

Author's note; I can't sing or play to save my life.)

While I played the music drifted its way downstairs and Sabrina was the closest. "Umm, please tell me that I'm not the only one that's hearing music being played?" Sabrina asked. Taking a moment to listen carefully and sure enough they heard what she did. All four women headed upstairs, down the hall and stood outside of my room. Shocked plastered their faces as played "Dream On" with every fiber of my being.

They stood there listening and from out of nowhere a beam of light shone down. Causing the same strange markings Sabrina and Azzy noticed before had returned. That wasn't the strangest thing the group saw as everyone filed into the room. Dancing faintly high in the sky was what appeared to be the Aurora Borealis. Unable to find the words to express themselves as the climax of the song ebbed.

Though as quickly as everything transpired it all vanished when the song ended. Leaving all four warriors feeling better yet, highly confused by what they've seen. Personally I didn't even notice them in my room until I looked up from my guitar. Barking out of surprise and nearly falling out of the windowsill in the process. Luckily Sayber was the closest to me and was quick enough to snatch me by the tail.

Yowling slightly upon it being grabbed so tightly but, was grateful for the save. "Thanks for the heart attack everyone but, mind telling me why you snuck in here?" I wondered. After a brief explanation by Launa, leaving me scratching my head in embarrassment. She was curious to know if there were other songs I could play with such passion. Admitting there was a few but, not as well practiced like the one they just heard.

Considering that I haven't much in the way of free time to actually practice. Besides there were more important matters that we need to take care of first. "Perhaps in the future you'd play for us again I'd like to hear what else you know." Launa said. Worried about the fact they might bust my cookies about my choice in music. Promising to be open minded about it then we made our way to the weapons cache.

By the time we reached the door to the cache itself the electronic lock opened. As the doors slid to the side granted us entry next the light and gear came online. "Good morning sir and guests how may I assist you this afternoon?" The A.I asked. Looking around the room until I found the chibi fox-like hologram sitting nearby. "Okay, my little computerized friend you could start by giving us your name." I replied.

"You may call me, N.A.D.A.I I'm the residential artificial intelligence of this facility. Pardon me for this but, ever time I run your bio-signal I can't find it in my files. Despite the fact I'm not running at full capacity since the main power is currently offline. Perhaps you could get it operational this way I'll be of much better service to you." It replied. Asking the computer what I need to do to get the main power grid back online.

"If it's not too much to ask I prefer to be addressed as female per my design specs." She stated sourly. Apologizing to her then went on to ask if she could play the last audio journal. This way Launa and the others could hear exactly what I did when I first arrived. With a confirmation chime she played the file then escorted me to the reactor. Along the way I was smart to ask her if I had to wear some protective equipment. "You can relax the main reactor here doesn't emit anything harmful." She informed.

Once we entered the reactor's control room I looked out the safety window. "Well, that's just peachy someone had the sense to disconnect the main cables. There's no fuel rods inside the reactor so we've got a little work before starting it up. Okay, how would I go about getting down there and get the reactor running again?" I replied. She pulled up the manual I needed to put everything back together the right way.

Opening the access panel that lead to the reactor floor and began working. N.A.D.A.I assisted the best she could until I hit a major snag with power cable. The last person to use this facility had the foresight to damage it beyond repair. Probably to prevent unauthorized access to the technology that was left behind. Looking around for something to replace it I stumbled upon what looked like a droid.

Inspecting the droid carefully and noticed that it had been badly damaged. Though it could be repaired over time but, it was beyond my abilities to do. Of course that didn't mean I didn't know someone that could repair this machine. Working tirelessly until I got the all clear from her to begin loading the fuel rods. The rods I did manage to find were degraded and wasn't advisable to use them.

Luckily N.A.D.A.I guided me to a storage unit that possessed fresh fuel rods. Unfortunately the door appeared welded shut well it was until I ripped it open. Not prepared for the blinding light that filled my vision along with the hallway. Rubbing my eyes until the floaters dissipated and beheld a room filled with lights. "Oh, my! There are soul gems in addition to fuel rods for the reactor stored here." She stated.

The shock in her digital voice confirmed she wasn't operating at full capacity. Probably due to the main reactor being offline preventing access to all of her files. Entering the room carefully inspecting the shelves making sure nothing had degraded. "The long red ones are meant for the reactor you'll need about five. Those orbs they're used to hold soul energy for Cubi, Thae'Lith and Shadow Walkers." N.A.D.A.I began.

"According to my scanners each orb contains enough energy to last two weeks. Fortunately the energy inside of them just so happens to be artificially created. Thus hoping to prevent any further loss of innocent lives outside of this facility." She informed. Taking one of the softball sized orbs off the shelf and looked with my Soul Gaze. The A.I was right I couldn't see the difference between the real thing or the fake.

Knowing that it wasn't real souls makes things a lot easier on my conscience. This way I could avoid raiding graveyards for soul energy unless I had to. Taking a couple off the shelf and putting them in my pocket then grabbed some rods. From there I returned to the reactor room and waited for her next instructions. As she told me what to do next something in the back of my head kept bugging me.

"Hey, N.A.D.A.I is it possible to run the reactor at fifty percent or less temporarily?" I asked. She took a few moments to process and run the scenario before responding. Curious to know why I wanted to know and I was happy to share my concerns. Since this facility hasn't been used in so long there could be bugs in the system. There's a good chance these issues could appear when I bring everything online.

"Your assessment is a rational one and I agree we should do this gradually. I'll carefully monitor the entire system until the reactor reaches fifty percent. Once there I'll be able to activate what repair golems that are still in operational condition. Please be aware that during the power up a few systems may turn on and off." She replied. Nodding alright then asked her to begin the power up sequence for the entire facility.

As I kept a firm eye on everything the reactor continued with its power up. "Excuse me, shall I begin to transition from reserve power over to main, Sir?" She asked. Shaking my head no and instructed her to transfer the energy into the reserve batteries. At least this place will still have power if something breaks during the transition. Once the reserve batteries were fully charged the computer switched to main power.

N.A.D.A.I was quick to mention that some systems may act up during the switch. Launa soon came over the intercom wondering what in the world was happening. I told her that the facility is changing over from reserve power to main power. That during the change a few systems would act up until the shift was complete. Once the reactor was at the designated power setting I reactivated the repair drones.

From what I was told by N.A.D.A.I they will inspect the entire facility. If anything is in need of repair they'll assign it a priority and fix it after inspection. "N.A.D.A.I what about that droid I found close by the reactor will they fix it?" I asked. With a strong sigh she told me they aren't programmed to repair a custom android. To make matters worse the parts needed to repair it had been lost during the war.

"What would you say if I told you I know two guys that may be able to repair it? Though you'd have to wait until I've taken care of my prior engagements first." I stated. N.A.D.A.I perked up and hoped my friends can make her fully functional again. Promising the computer to bring her android shell to them after my judgment. Next I headed back down to the reactor, retrieved her body and rejoined everyone.

As I entered the weapons room where the others were lounging around. Launa and Sabrina were quick to ask about the object slung over my right shoulder. Fortunately N.A.D.A.I told everyone that it was her body which needed repair. Placing the android down gently then I looked at Azzy and asked about the video. Azzy took a moment to recall the video she and everyone watched before speaking.

"According to the races mentioned I'm familiar with all but, the last one sadly. You bare a strong similarity to a Shadow Walker than either a Cubi or Thae'Lith. I won't be able to confirm anything until I've read up on the Shadow Walker race." Azzy said. Next she asked N.A.D.A.I if she could bring up the information regarding them. "I seem to be having trouble accessing the files you've requested." N.A.D.A.I replied.

To be continued.
