St. Louis; Kira, Dukat & Gantu

The St. Louis Arch is a massive structure. At 630 feet (192m) tall, it is easily one of the tallest structures in the city. Even with the reduced power levels, Dukat can feel the singular power of a nexus here. The Stone Masters have acquired all the proper permits for construction and by the time the three of you arrive, the foundation is already in place. When the three of you get there you can see the three Stone Masters lifting a 20 ton block of stone into place, the corner stone. When they finish putting it where they want it one of them walks over. "Gregory Hawkins, nice to meet you. I understand you are the supervisors for this project".

==Kira and Dukat==

When they arrive Kira has already instructed Gantu to take his place as chief of security at the construction site. Dukat drinks in the ambient energy as Gregory approaches. Kira simply stands with his hands folded behind his back, examining the area. "We are," Kira responds to the implied question, "this is quite a monumental undertaking, we appreciate you and your peers co-operation in this matter. I am impressed that we were able to obtain the zoning permits and begin construction so quickly, and the cornerstone has already been laid atop the foundation. Your work is commendable, but I fear that as quickly as you have been progressing we still may be short on time. Can you give me an estimate on the construction period for the first pyramid?"

Gregory looks back at his companions working on moving another stone into place. "Given that normally we should have a pyramid this size up in six months to a year, we can have this one up in six weeks. Mind you, if your estimates for how powerful this nexus is, if we don't get back here to reinforce it and make it bigger, it will blow apart and be useless to anyone. But we should be able to finish them all in about three months. At the earliest".

==Dukat and Kira==

While kira has his hands folded behind his back, Dukat is the opposite, crossing his arms in front of his body. Standing next to each other they prove to be a striking contrast. "That is impressive," Dukat states through his translator, still watching the stones being moved, "but even so we may not have enough time. I assume the three of you must have obtained your skills somewhere. Would it be at all possible to procure more help? You must have family members, classmates, or some other related school that teaches similar skills? You certainly can't be the only three stone mages in the universe. I would say that price is no issue, but the fact is we are dealing with an invasion that threatens to not only end this world, but over-run this universe. Currently these pyramids are our best chance at pre-emptively obtaining the power we need in order to prevent this catastrophe."

Gregory nods. "Indeed there are. On a planet called Alexandria where we are from there is a whole college dedicated to the Art. However, they are already under attack from the Demons. At best we can communicate with them. But we can't request help, or send any as they have closed all gates to and from their home. So you have the three of us, and a construction crew. This war is much bigger then this universe, or even this dimension. This war is spanning all dimensions, and all universes".

==Dukat and Kira==

Dukat grunts and Kira frowns but soon responds, "I knew this was not an isolated incident, but didn't know it was that widespread. If that is the case then let us know anything you need and by all means return to the task at hand. There is no time to waste."

OOC: Kira has the ability to Bleed P.E. energy in order to stay awake and could essentially never sleep so long as he had the ISP to do it, is there any way he could siphon energy from one being to another in order to keep the three stone mages working round the clock until Kira himself needed to restore his own ISP? Meditating in between would help him re-gain ISP as well.

I'm not sure exactly how you want me to RP the role of a construction supervisor. They basically co-ordinate efforts, make sure everything is running efficiently, and act as liaisons between the workers and the company. I've already laid out the big plan, if the above idea doesn't work then I'm not sure what I can do to make things more efficient. The company has left this in Dukat and Kira's hands. Doesn't seem like there's much else to take care of for the time being.

Gantu nods and waits around for a short time to see if anything else important was said to him, and then begins to wander through the construction sight, mostly looked at faces and remembering them. He needed to at least mildly recognize most of the people here. Plus, he's have to come up with some kind of identification system if they didn't already have them.

OOC: Gantu kind of just wanders taking in the sight and faces. He'd then ask if there was any kind of list of personal and if there was already an identification system. Lastly, he'd check the perimeter, and that it was at least fenced off.

Kira & Dukat:
Gregory nods. "I believe we have everything in hand for now, but we will let you know if we need anything".

Gantu:
The perimeter is already in place and identification is required to get into the construction site. When you start to walk around the area, you are yelled at and a man runs up with a hard hat in hand. "You need this sir if you are going to be walking around the site sir".

Kira returns to the office to look over paperwork and Dukat wanders about the site, admiring the Arch over top of it.

Gantu nods politely to the man. "I won't be needing it. Thanks for the warning though." Gantu simply dons his Armor and continues walking. If the man sticks along, Gantu asks, "Have there been any problems with people trying to get in?"

Gantu:
The foreman, like foremen everywhere it seems sticks along holding the hat in his hand. "No more problems then usual. Kids mostly trying to get a look at what is going on. So far, our usual methods have kept them at bay. Fences, guards and of course round the clock working. So, if I may ask, why the rush? My crew and I have built a pyramid or two, but never in this kind of time rush".

"As far as I know, the people I am working for need these pyramids as part of their wider plan. I do not really know what for. Some kind of control center I believe. How many guards are there? Could you show me around the perimeter please?"

Gantu:
The man leads you around the perimeter and you can tell these guys are good at what they do. Motion detectors, cameras and fully trained guard personnel.

2 weeks, 4 days later (3 days ahead of schedule)

The cap stone is put into place and 2 days go by before the pyramid can be tested to make sure it is operating properly. When they go inside to test the capabilities Kira, Dukat and Gantu are invited in to witness. When they get into the room, before anyone can do something a portal opens and a woman falls out clutching a sword and time stops.

(See me for what happens to each person during the Time Stop)

Jasmine slowly opens one eye and then the other. Where was she. She looks around frantically trying to see if there are any signs of her pursuers. What happened? Where did they go? Where am I? Looking at her surroundings more closely she sees 6 of the oddest individuals standing in front of her. Well this can't be a good thing. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse. Standing she brandishes the sword at the three declaring, "I'll fight to the death if I must. Who are you and where am I? Are you with the Hound Master?!" None of the figures moved a muscle. Breathing heavily from her escape and panic she began to relax a little and calm down. Still alert and wary of her surroundings she slowly approaches the still figures and inspects them more closely, her sword at the ready if any of them moves so much as an eyelash.

Jasmine:
The six figures don't move a single muscle. "Suspended animation. Trapped in time. A simple trick if you know how to do it. Now, here is a pointed question. You just traded a lesser Artifact for me. Why would you do a thing like that? You could have had us both. Now you only have me, and you are going to need more then just one weapon to get you through the next few years, there is a war coming and it is going to get dirty".
The voice comes in your head, and seems amused and sarcastic all at the same time.

Jasmine freezes where she stands her body going rigid as the voice begins to talk. Realizing that she had overreacted she looks down at her sword and smiles a rye smile. "Well as much as keeping you both appealed to me I had to find a way to get around the pressure trigger. Leaving the Lesser Artifact there in place of you was the only thing I could do to get you and get out. You will just have to do in the coming years."

==Kira==

Kira comes to in time to see a strange woman talking to herself. He takes a quick look around and notices two things in an instant. Firstly she is holding a weapon, secondly no one else seems to be moving or reacting. If she does not see him (depending where she is facing and how pre-occupied she is talking to apparently nothing) he will attempt to sneak up behind her and press his blade against her throat before she can react.

Prowl (86%): 1d100=52 - (even with a 30% penalty he still makes it)

"Who are you and how did you get here? This is a secure area."

==Dukat==

Dukat un freezes a moment after Kira asks his question, he looks around at the situation, noticing the others not moving. he pokes one of the frozen figures, "stiff as a board..." Then he looks at Kira and the woman. "Who is she and how did she get here?"

"That's what I just asked!" Kira shouts, exasperated by Dukat. This guy is strong, and not as stupid as he lets on, but he can sure get on my nerves.... "She has been too busy talking to nothing to answer me!"

Dukat looks at the strange woman, "I would suggest you answer him or he's likely to kill you and I'm curious about you so it would be sad for you to die. Don't worry though, if you do die I'll be sure to eat you. I like trying new food." Dukat flexes, I feel more powerful...

As Jasmine feels a cold blade pressed against her throat she draws in a sharp intake of breath.

Kira
 
"Who are you and how did you get here? This is a secure area."


She opens her mouth to answer the question just as another of the figures unfreezes and starts speaking to the man that had his blade to her throat. You couldn't have given me a little warning you were releasing them. She thinks in the direction of her sword, irritation running through her thoughts.

Dukat
 
"I would suggest you answer him or he's likely to kill you and I'm curious about you so it would be sad for you to die. Don't worry though, if you do die I'll be sure to eat you. I like trying new food."


Well, if a girl can get a word in edgewise around here, my name is Jasmine. Friends call me Jas or Kade, but don't bother calling me anything for the moment. I'm not sure how I ended up here, but I come from Nightbane. Last I saw I had a pursuing party. Wouldn't have seen them would you?" Jas looks around trying to figure out if there was a way to escape. The one that had offered to eat her gave her the creeps and she had no idea about the one holding the knife, but judging by the knife her future did not bode well. C'mon think Jas. How do you get out of this one.

"Well for one, I was not the one who activated the Time Stop, had you bothered to ask, I could have told you that. I simply commented on what it was, and the ease of it. Now if you wanted help, all you had to do was ask". In a flash, Jasmine is covered from head to foot in an archaic armor, that resembles Samurai armor, where skin usually shows, is nothing but light shining through. Very bright light.

Trust me I was getting to the bothering to ask part. Time is not on my side so it would seem. Looking at her armour she smiles. This is definitely helping. Thanks. Anything else it would be helpful to know? Jas waits patiently for a response from the man holding the knife, all the while carrying on the silent conversation in her head.

==Kira and Dukat==

Another super powered creature, Kira bemoans himself, what is this world coming to? Kira jumps back and activates see aura to get a better idea about this new creature's abilities. A samurai? I hate samurai!

Dukat watches the transformation, it entertains him. "We haven't seen a pursuing party Jaskade. Hey Kira, she's wearing armor now. I think your little knife won't be as effective as you had hoped..." Dukat draws his staff, "if you mean to attack us I should point out that you are outnumbered. In addition I'll warn you that we are both pretty strong, and really not so easy to kill. Please drop your weapon, we just finished building this place and I would rather not damage it just yet."

"She's normal," Kira informs Dukat, "but her sword, her sword is anything but normal. It is the danger here. Its power is really uncommon, be prepared for it. It may be intelligent."

"Well, you could probably at this point turn around and twist his arm off at the socket, ignore the fact that he has a knife to your armor, and generally take some measure of control of the situation... anything else I need to be teaching you? Or should I just trade places with you and do it for you? And no, before you ask, I can't actually do that".

Jas moves a bit further away from the knife man as he jumps back.

Dukat

"The only people, if I can call you that, that have done any attacking here are you two. I have defended myself, but so far you have not told me anything about where I am, who you are or why you are so paranoid. Either way I will not be dropping my sword."

Kira
 
"She's normal, but her sword, her sword is anything but normal. It is the danger here. Its power is really uncommon, be prepared for it. It may be intelligent."


Jas looks over at the knife man sharply as he informs the queer one about her sword. How did he know? And how am I going to get out of here?! Frustrated Jas shows nothing on her face. Here goes nothing.

"Could one of you be so kind as to point me to the exit?"

Dukat raises an eyebrow but keeps his hand on his weapon. "It is only natural to assume that when someone appears unannounced in a secure area that they are hostile. You have appeared, unannounced, in our secure area. You are the intruder here, by appearing here you have, deliberately or not, taken hostile action against us. My ally here, however paranoid he may be, was right to assume that you are a threat. To assume otherwise would be inviting you to do as you please, threat or not. Now, return our allies to normal and drop your weapon and you have my word that you will be given a fair chance to explain yourself. If you mean us no harm then no harm will come to you, but for now I must insist that you disarm. Anything short of disarming yourself will be taken as a hostile action and you will be considered a threat and dealt with accordingly. I have been entrusted with a critical responsibility to see that this place is secure and serves its purpose, I will not fail in that responsibility. The lives of billions, perhaps even trillions hang in the balance. This is your final warning, put down the weapon, step away from it and explain yourself."

While Dukat is making his speech Kira activates telepathy and attempts to communicate with the sword. Tell her to set you down and take one step back. If you and your friend are not our enemies then we may have use for you as allies, but you are on our ground and must begin by doing so on our terms. Once she puts you down I will put away my weapon and instruct my ally to do likewise with his. This place is safe for those who would wish to be protected, and it is our responsibility to keep it that way... Kira closes the telepathic connection and groans inwardly, things were so much easier when I was able to kill whoever I wanted whenever I wanted. Working with these do gooders and other powerful beings is really cramping my style.

Kira:
The sword listens as you talk to it. Then it responds. Kira feels as though his mind were being pulled from his body. "I know you. You think yourself old, ancient even. Yet in all the dimensions, in all times, there is only one of me, and millions of you. Your mistake here was putting your mind in contact with me. I am not some minor trinket that is powerless to defend myself, or those who wield me. Should I choose to I can take your mind and devour it, or place it somewhere that you could never find your way out again.
Now, as for your idea that we are here because of you, that makes you a bit full of yourself. I and Jasmine had no idea that someone wanting to follow in the footsteps of the Ba'al was here. Now why don't you put your weapon away before I do something that you will seriously regret
"? As Kira's mind comes back, he hears a crack and looking down, he sees one of the stones from his bracelet is laying on the floor, split in half. (Kira, loose 10% of ISP/PPE)Jasmine is fully aware of the exchange between Durandal and Kira.
