(OOC: Ya, I did. Just had a lot of stuff to do that kept me from updating. Big update though ... had another idea, but decided against it.) After the others left the room, Darren stumbled over to a bunk and colapsed in it, completly spent. He couldn't sleep however, visions from the battle back at the school came back to haunt him. He just lay there, drained of energy.

Shade steps closer to Zero and a look of consern grows on her face "What is that? How do I know your not going to try to do something to our bodies while were in the machine?" (to Zero only whispered in his ear)"Zero do you trust him enough to do this?"

In the dorm room, Zaen attempted psychic communication with Nene, as that seemed to be the only way it would work with Darren, -so what do you think about all of this?-
The girl on the floor seems interested in the newcomers despite the fact that both seem exhausted, 'Who are you guys? Have you come to join the Templar?'
Meanwhile next to the Mimesis Engine, Jayce regards Shade in a half-amused, half offended kind of way. 'If one of the high ups here didn't want you around I'm, sure they would have dealt with you already. As it turns out, you guys are honoured guests, and even fellow Templar if you choose to stay here. Anyways some of our leaders are going to want to see you in an hour or so. Besides which there's nothing dangerous about the Mimesis Engine itslef. It's virtual reality and can't harm your bodies.'

Serge relaxes a bit about going into VR. "Well, at least noone will get hurt this way." He sits down. "I'm ready when you are."

(Sry about not posting for a while, had some computer problems and ran into a writer's block, those things are ugly ) Darren managed to move into a better position to talk, "My name's Darren Scelto, and I really don't know much about the Templars." He lays back on his front, "So much has happened these last weeks." His voice trailing off. While Darren was addressing Helena, Nene was returning Zean's question. I really don't know what to make of this all. They seem friendly enough.[/color]

Those hooked up to the Mimesis engine find themselves tranported to a balnk featureless void, unable to move. A couple of seconds later a ground appears under their feet and a sky overhead. The scene changes rapidly, flickering from a vast frozen tundra to rough moorland under a stormy night sky, a shattered twilight cityscape, ebfroe finally settling on a beautiful and tranquil glade, where the only thing amiss is the lack of wild creatures around.
Instructions neter the minds of the three mutants. While in VR, they could assume any clothing or equipment by simply imagining it. Arms were limited to melee weapons, equipment to nothing larger than themselves. Use of their mutations is unlimited. Jayce appears in the flak armour of a Templar scout, complete with the emblem of the forked cross. 'Kind of an unsual place for the practice of violence I know, but I like it. I was thinking we could go without weapons at first, but you're welcome to any you want within the limits set by the program. We could go against each other, in teams or work together against some generated bots, it's your choice.'

Meanwhile in the dormitory, Helena says, 'Oh, well. We're a sort of organisation trying to resotre the old civilisation. We have an army, then there's the scolars and scientists, and then we have the citizens who farm and do all sorts of jobs. My brother's training to be a warrior, but I'm gonna be a scientists. At least thisis how it is in Antioch. I've heard about other citadels but never been outside this one. Apparently were ina a pretty dangerous location, which is why there are so many templar warriors here. You guys have been outside, have you seen anything like, I dunno, wilders or something?'

"Ummm... Ya... wilders, yes, there where quite a few of them. Can't remember much though, Inferno was putting a bit of pressure on me for most of that."

Concentrating for a moment Zero suddenly a red headband and cut-off leather gloves. He had on a black military styled trenchcoat, underneath which was a black tank-top. His new black pants were tucked into a pair of dark orange utitlity boots. Looking down at his dress he grinned and spread his feet apart, yelling loudly his aura blasted outwards as he released more hidden wells of power within himself. After a few minutes he stood there, his aura blazing brightly as his hair whipped about. He looked at the others, waiting for them to do the same.

"Woah, nice. I think I'll need more protection than that though." Serge closes his eyes for a moment. He reappears wearing what appears to be light body armor. It is an electric blue in color and shimmers as he moves. "Ah, this should do nicely."

Just as Jayce was configuring the combat scenario when an unexpected figure enters the scene. A tall, athletic-looking man, seemingly in his twenties, dressed in black leather with reinforced steel bands in strategic places. He has long straggly brown hair and a stubbly chin, his face is handsome but made to look slightly unreal by tatoos around his left eye, chin and neck (as far as you can see). In his hands he holds a six-foot steel rod. He interrupts the mutants and Jayce. 'I'm afraid you don't have much time for games. The Bishop is requesting the presence of the new advanced in half an hour and I have been sent to retrieve you and prepare you for the audience. Then again, it's not often I meet young kindred spirits, so I have a proposition for you. You may sport with me for a while, using your powers as I will use mine. Jayce, I'm afraid you must report to the drill sergeant who will have duties for you.'
Jayce gasps and steps back, 'That's Jerico. He's a Paladin, and one of our greatest warriors here at Antioch. He looks young but he's been on two crusades.He's also adnvanced, like you, everyone talks about his powers. They say he can throw bolts of fire and levitate or paralyse his opponents. I know there's three of you, but you can't possibly stand a chance. It looks like he's come to deliver a quick lesson before he takes you to see the Bishop. Good luck.' He fades out.
Jerico moves closer, and addressesZero, 'I saw your little outbust just now. I happen to share with you the Advanced Discipline of Energy Manipulation. However, although you have talent you display a regrettable lack of control. You have power, but you throw it about randomly like a spoilt child. Not only is it wasteful but it is dangerous to you comrades and even yourself. Concentrate your ability. Perhaps if you stay I could teach you more focused powers, such as this,' he rasies an arm and sents a jagged bolt of energy racing across the landscape beofre it explodes in a burst of shining particles, 'perhaps, if you have a skill with a weapon, you may combine you talents,' his steel rod begins to puslate with a blue light, and as Jerico grips it and spins it around it leaves a blur of lethal power in it's wake. 'As for you boy...' addressing Zentallan as he does not know their names, 'you appear to be what we calssify as a catalyst. Those of your talent are eagerly sought out to work with teams of other advanced. If you spend a lot of time affecting the powers of certain other mutants, you will develop a bond of empathy with them that not only leads to greater effect, but also lends you less susceptible to abuse by enemy mutants. And as for the girl, analysis has shown that your powers are closely linked to your psyche. Animal instinct is goaded by your use of the mutant powers. The best advice I can give you is to spend as much time around people as possible, for to become withdrawn and shun human contact invites the Beast to take over.' He smiles, and lifts his rod, 'But time is short and I'm sure that you don't want lectures. Why don't you show me what you can do?'

Shade smiles coldly at Jerico "You know very little of us to make such a bold statement about all of us. *Shade turns to Zero gives him a slight grin and steps back as she lets her power come to her. The shadows come to her covering her body completely. Turning her several shades of black, till she looks like nothing more but a shadow itself* "Let the hunt begin. Pray for the prey" Shade then sinks into the shadows, poping out behind Jerico in the hopes to surprize him.

"I dont know if we must then..." Serge takes up a defensive postion and stance in front of Jericho, trying to keep his team within his range of enhancement while attempting to exclude his opponent from the benfits.
