Electricity, conductivity, insulation, path of least resistence, faraday cage, the thoughts followed eachother without conscious effort, innate understanding of the physical forces at work guiding them. Daniel barely even aware that his mind had processed the threat before he had reacted to it. As soon as the electrical build up tingled through his skin his thoughts were already a whirl of facts about the composition of the tunnels around him. Mostly brick, concrete, ancient, useless. Then a foot through the wall, to their right he could feel the new tunnels that had been dug, these reinforced with steel bars and it was those he called unconsciously to his aid.
The air hissed and sizzled with the charge as the newcomer thrust out his hands, the lightbulbs above bursting in lurid, brilliant sparks to illuminate the moment of suspended action. Dash, throwing up his hands to ward off the blast, Kristin with her own actions to perform and Daniel, his face fixed in an expression of strange detattchment as he slammed his palm into the wall, the stones yielding and melting beneath his hand in the same instant that from the joins in the old stonework a mesh of steel sprang forward. The strands moved like living things, twirling and weaving into, around and across eachother like a web, flashing across the gap in the moment it took the building electrical charge to manifest as the bolt that streked towards them. It seared into the mesh swirled, flowed around it, seemed destined to overcome it and then seemed to dissipate harmlessly as it was earthed in the walls.
Daniel fell backwards to land on the ground with a startled cry as thought took over where instinct left off, his eyes wide with fear, more shocked at his own reaction than the sudden attack. He stared, unseeing in the darkness, at the mesh he had created in dumb incomprehension for a moment before he realised his powers had been smarter than him and had just saved his nervous system from being fried by the electrical discharge. The primitive electrical system that had lit their way however had not fared so well and as the tunnel was plunged into darkness and the stone in the walls hissed and spat as it cooled he felt panic rising in him. He had never so much as been in a fist fight in his civilised life of education and now here he was in a pitch black tunnel with a man who evidently wanted to kill him.
"Kristen?" He called in desperation, trying to scramble to his feet while at the same time groping for the girl's hand, for anything that would give him direction in his sudden terror.

Professor N'dare with Professor McTaggert's Team
Dublin, Ireland
There was a flash of light, then a briefest moment of displacement, replaced by a vague feeling of disorientation. N'dare froze, but his fingertips were on the controls in case McTaggert could not stop his toys in time.
"Professor Mc Taggert..."
heard the urgency in Robert's voice as the yong man shook him slighty.
"Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert!"
a mature woman's computerized voice filled the chamber.
"Initiating automated defense response."
N'dare hoped that the objects outside could not here the noise.
The sound of whirring mechanisms came from behind the walls surrounding them, followed by sliding panels.
"Professor..Hurry up!"
Robert urged. Kincaid fumbled with a device he carried in his pocket as he swore under his breath.
"If you don't stop those defenses, I'm slagging your walls!"
John warned.
A strange telescoping device dropped from within the ceiling a few meters away and turned, pointing in their direction. Before anyone could react, Professor Mc Taggert yelled out.
"WAIT!! I got it! I got it!"
Alastor's gun remained aimed at the device however until it had fully retreated into the ceiling. Then, with a spin more careful than of dramatic flair he returned both his guns to their holsters. He then took on long breath, held it for a moment, and Exhailed it over a long moment.
"I.Despise.Turrets."
he said calmly.
"They can't make careful decesions like humans, they shoot first, ask questions never."
N'dare didnt say anything, but he could think of a few beings that fit that category as well. Kincaid Mc Taggert watched with astonishment as Alastor holstered his weapons and then let out a long sigh.
"You were actually going to shoot weren't you?"
Kincaid asked incredulously. John chuckled and quickly turned around to come to Alastor's defense.
"I did tell him to cover us, remember...?"
Mc Taggert shook his head.
"You have NO IDEA the kind of counter-measures I have against guns."
Before anyone else could say a word, John interjected.
"Not to worry, everything turned out fine, relax."
Kincaid let out a very long breath. John and Robert followed suit. N'dare dropped his head, and chuckled softly.
"I think I felt myself age..."
Robert exclaimed as he attempted a bit of humor.
"Talk for yourself!"
John said over his shoulder with a chuckle. A moment later, all three men began to laugh from relief.
"Hey, N'dare...guess we made it without a scratch this time. You brought us good luck."
John walked over and patted N'dare on the back.
"Always glad to be of service."
he responded back, bringing his arms back down. He then began to scan the area around them, as he waited for the others to catch their breaths.
John gave a friendly pat to Kincaid, who nodded in agreement.
"Good. So, are we ready to do this?"
John said nodding as he looked at everyone.
"Ok, then. Kincaid here will lead N'dare and Alastor to the main lab and set them up there. I'll see what I can do with the communications array. I'll probably be needing some assistance..."
John said, giving both N'dare and Mc taggert a peculiar look.
"Naloth and Erin, I'll need you in the monitor room. You do have a monitor room, right kincaid?"
"Yes."
Kincaid answered with little humor.
"Excellent. Animan and Robert, you're with me."
"WAIT!"
N'dare looked up towards McTaggart.
"McTaggart. Are there any OTHER fail safes, or backup security devices we need to be aware of, before we move from this spot. Or did you deactivate ALL of them?"
he asked him in a quiet voice. He didnt want the team to start moving around, and suddenly getting attacked by other devices. He also wondered, and hopped it only deactivated the inside alarms, and not the outside ones. He did not want any unwanted guests sneaking up on them as well.

IC: Alastor
Alastor remained quiet, if McTaggert had defenses against guns, that was fine. He'd been in areas that had them before, they generally didn't defend to well against HEAP rounds, like he had in his guns. He closed his eyes again and placed his hands in his pockets. He was in for a long day and he could feel it. He just wanted something to take his mind of the rest of the world. Then again, everyone with him probably did.

Devil Dog, Karra & Nat
Morlock Tunnels
"You take the rear. I think I'll take Far point....and make sure the way is clear..."
Devil Dog
gave a long whistle as
Karra
shot upwards, but noticed that she did not disappear from sight. He gave a small nod at that.
As they drew close to the first landing at the end of their 20 meter climb, Devil Dog looked over his left shoulder then peered into the darkness. He then sniffed the air.
ozone.
His eyes grew wide when he saw a quick flash of light. So he DID see a strobe just a second ago. Devil Dog made a sound in his throat that sounded almost like a growl.
What the frak is going on over ther?
; then he looked up.
"Ok, ladies....we have less than five meters to go. Time to get a move on." Devil Dogs voice was calm, yet somewhat stern. It took the trio less than two minutes to reach the top.
Devil Dog's expression was one of displeasure as he looked into the distant darkness across from their location. There was another strobe of light and the smell of ozone persisted. Whatever was causing it was just over fifty meters away.
"I think I hear voices..." Devil Dog said without looking back.
"Someone's in trouble."

Mc Taggert's Team
Mc Taggert's lab, Dublin Ireland
"WAIT!"
N'dare
looked up towards McTaggart. "McTaggart. Are there any OTHER fail safes, or backup security devices we need to be aware of, before we move from this spot. Or did you deactivate ALL of them?" he asked him in a quiet voice. He didn't want the team to start moving around, and suddenly getting attacked by other devices. He also wondered, and hoped it only deactivated the inside alarms, and not the outside ones. He did not want any unwanted guests sneaking up on them as well.
Kincaid froze in his tracks and looked at N'dare. His eyes did a low roll as he thought about what N'dare had said.
"Oh, pfft! Absent minded me!"
Mc Taggert looked down and tried to conceal the fact that he was turning a bright shade of red as he keyed several sequences on the control device he now held.
There was an audible beep of confirmation before he raised his head.
["All internal intrusion counter-measures have been succesfully deactivated. Welcome Professor."]
"Uhm....Thanks Moira." KIncaid said sheepishly.
"It's safe now..." he mumbled to N'dare and quickly walked past the dark man, then waved for those assigned to go with him to follow.
Kincaid didn't speak much as they walked. Now and then he would remeber to point and objects of interest and make conversation. After a short walk, the small group came before a large metallic door. There was an electronic card reader at the right of the door. It wasplaced at shoulder level. Dr. Mc Taggert reached into his pocket and swiped a card with easy familiarity. The light on the card reader turned from red yo yellow to green before the massive door slowly lowered itself into the ground and opened.
"And this...." Dr. Mc taggert said turning around, his light mood returning. " ....Is my Lab where I do all my work."
Kincaid wore a proud smile as he spread his arms like a teenager showing off his new Sports Utility Vehicle. "Please, come in and make yourselves at home.." he said stepping aside to allow
Alastor
and
N'dare
entrance.
This part of Mc Taggert's Lab was adequately spacious for one scientist to work comfortably. It was not really spaced out for three people, but they would have to manage. As it was, the left wall had several monitoring stations, while the main computer occupied the north wall. The rest of the room had three large working tables and one decent sized engineering area on the right side of the floor.
Kincaid entered the room, but did not close the massive door behind him. He smiled at his two guests and said; "So, what do you think?"

RE: The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning: Path of Heroes
IC: Nat Tavoris
Morlock Tunnels
A few metres up, Nat came to the conclusion that this wasn't as easy she'd thought it would be. Not that she'd admit it to the other two, of course - but there was something claustrophobic about climbing a ladder into the darkness, about not knowing what lay ahead. Nat was no stranger to hiding in unsavoury places, but always she'd known how to get out. The rungs were also not particularly easy to climb - time and use had worn them smooth, leaving Nat constantly worried that she'd lose her grip.
Suddenly, there was a quick flash of light. Nat frowned in puzzlement, glancing around - and promptly lost her rhythm as her foot slipped off the rung.
Oh, get a grip,
Nat mentally scolded herself. Now was not the time to fall.
"Ok, ladies....we have less than five meters to go. Time to get a move on,"
Devil Dog's calm voice floated up from underneath her. Nat blinked and shook her head, glad that the darkness masked that motion, and continued climbing.
Must have been my imagination.
A couple of minutes later, they were on the landing as promised. Suddenly there was that flash of light again, and a faint smell of
something
in the air. Certain now it was real, Nat looked over at Karra and Devil Dog. Karra didn't look like she knew any more than Nat did, but their guide was staring into the darkness with a displeased expression on his face -
"I think I hear voices..."
Devil Dog said without turning.
"Someone's in trouble."
"Should we go have a look?" Nat asked cautiously. It wasn't their problem, not really - she and Karra were tasked with getting supplies from the surface - but unless she was mistaken this was still Morlock territory. Devil Dog might want to investigate.

Karra
Morlock Tunnels
As Karra have gone ahead, and was floating close by, with her other sight, it was not hard to notice a quick flash of light. She frowned. She then looked down towards the other two.
She heard Devil Dog growl, just as she noticed that Nat slipped slightly. Karra wished she could make it a bit brighter, but to do so, would make them a target. Something Karra rather avoid right now. She heard Devil Dog call out.
"Ok, ladies....we have less than five meters to go. Time to get a move on."
Devil Dogs voice was calm, yet somewhat stern. It took the trio less than two minutes to reach the top.
There was another strobe of light and the smell of ozone persisted. Whatever was causing it was just over fifty meters away.
"I think I hear voices ..."
Devil Dog said without looking back.
"Someone's in trouble."
Karra floated down, to hear Nat ask,
"Should we go have a look?"
Karra looked over at Nat. "You need to stay on our task. If it is trouble, its got to deal with mutants..not something you wanna just jump into." Karra then floated closer to Devil Dog.
"Hound...I can see whats going on."
she whispered to him softly. She then very carefully described exactally what it was she was seeing. One mutant was attacking a group.
It didnt look like something the Morlocks would be doing. If any of them belonged to Xavier, she coudlnt let it go on. Karra looked at Nat.
"Stay here, near the exit. I think I'm going to ... introduce myself."
She gave a wide smile.
With that, Karra took off, staying within the darkness, as she used her sight to home in on the others. When she got close, she planted a Force field, stopping the person throwing all the light from attacking the others. Landing nearby, she then spoke out.
"You guys okay?"
she asked the group that was getting attacked.

IC: Erin Mathews
Erin, before all these 'adventures', had never felt so helpless. Every second thing she came across these days seemed to be mechanical, and therefore immune to her gifts. Giant robot things, automated building defenses...
What happened to security guards I could just inspire pity in until they let me past?
"Ok, then. Kincaid here will lead N'dare and Alastor to the main lab and set them up there. I'll see what I can do with the communications array. I'll probably be needing some assistance... Naloth and Erin, I'll need you in the monitor room. You do have a monitor room, right kincaid?"
Erin nodded when informed where she'd be going.
"Excellent. Animan and Robert, you're with me."
She looked briefly at Animan, the impetuous one who'd turned into a bird earlier, then turned her attention back to John.

Morlock Tunnels
Nat scowled at Karra's back as she sped off into the tunnels after conversing softly with Devil Dog.
Stay here - keep your mind on their task - you don't want to jump into mutant trouble
- she'd been neck-deep in 'mutant trouble' for months now. Anyway, what was Karra doing, then? This was as much her task as it was Nat's, yet there she was, going off to 'introduce' herself to whoever or whatever was attacking ... someone. She hadn't caught all of what Karra said, but she had caught that much.
It didn't help that Nat knew perfectly well why she had to stay behind: in a fight, she was a liability. She could defend herself against normal, human threats quite easily, but mutants ... mutants were something else. That didn't make her feel any better about it. That didn't mean she
liked
it. It made her feel helpless, like she was no more than a child.
Frustrated and moody, but determined not to say anything, Nat scuffed her sneakers against the wall. With effort, she schooled her expression back to careful neutrality. She'd have to content herself with waiting until Karra got back... then they could get a move on.

Professor N'dare, with Mc Taggert's Team
Mc Taggert's lab, Dublin Ireland
N'dare looked up towards McTaggart.
"McTaggart. Are there any OTHER fail safes, or backup security devices we need to be aware of, before we move from this spot. Or did you deactivate ALL of them?"
he asked him in a quiet voice. He didn't want the team to start moving around, and suddenly getting attacked by other devices. He almost felt sorry as soon as he had asked the question, as Kincaid froze in his tracks and looked at N'dare.
"Oh, pfft! Absent minded me!"
Mc Taggert looked down and tried to conceal the fact that he was turning a bright shade of red as he keyed several sequences on the control device he now held. N'dare held back a sigh. Taggert was a brillant man...but tended to be a bit absent minded. He kept his face neutral as he heard an audible beep.
["All internal intrusion counter-measures have been succesfully deactivated. Welcome Professor."]
"Uhm....Thanks Moira."
KIncaid said sheepishly.
"It's safe now..."
he mumbled to N'dare and quickly walked past him, then waved for those assigned to go with him to follow.
N'dare didnt wish to embrasse McTaggert, but he didnt want any of the team hurt either. With a sigh, he followed behind, quietly looking about as they walked. Kincaid was very quiet, during the walk to his lab. Finally, they reached his lab. He swiped a card, opening the door.
"And this...."
Dr. Mc taggert said turning around, his light mood returning.
" ....Is my Lab where I do all my work."
Kincaid wore a proud smile as he spread his arms like a teenager showing off his new Sports Utility Vehicle.
"Please, come in and make yourselves at home.."
he said stepping aside to allow Alastor and N'dare entrance.
N'dare was not going to say anything that made the doc uncomfortable, so N'dare walked in, looking around with a wide smile, as if he had just walked into the most grandest lab in his life. He quickly took stock of what items were available. It was going to be a tight fit, but it would work.
N'dare looked at the main computer console. Kincaid entered the room, but did not close the massive door behind him. He smiled at his two guests and said;
"So, what do you think?"
N'dare was quick to reply.
"It's quite a place you have here, Dr. McTaggert. We should be able to accomplish what we need, in no time."

Mc Taggert, N'dare & Alastor
"Alright..."
Mc Taggert
said as he sat down at the main computer. "Turning on stations 1, 2 and 3." All three tables came to 'life' as he ended the sentence. All the devices and scanners showed green lights as their respective monitors came on.
"
N'dare
, it would be an honor if you take station one. I'll take two so I can better assisst you both from the middle.
Alastor
, station three is all yours. Do whatever you need to do with it. I don't mind if you recalibrate the setting to some of the equipment. That's what they are for."
For the next hour or so, Dr. Mc Taggert helped his contemporaries prepare for their work within his lab.

(Feel free to set yourselves up if you want. I'll work off that.)
Meanwhile...
Erin & Naloth
The two mutants found the monitor room easy enough. The room was not very big, though it could fit tow chairs somewhat cramped. There was only one chair at present, but three different set of monitors. Front and on each side. Left anf Right. Each set was comprised of six screens. After getting a second chair and acquiring the system password from Kincaid, Erin and Naloth were free to acquaint themselves with the instruments. The left side set of monitors pertained to the external cameras, while the right side governed internal security. The front screens could access all. It was an easy enough system to learn if one had the aptitude for it.
At the moment, the monitors showed nothing questionable, either inside or out as it were. Still, there was no need to take chances, especially since they knew what was waiting for them outside.

John
smiled when the trio reached the communications room door. Witha casual movement, the blonde man swiped the keycard and heard the desired welcoming beep. "At last. Music to my ears!"
John led
Animan
and
Robert
to a dimly lit room. It was not very big, which was no surprise since Kincaid ran the whole show by himself. John immediately went to the console before them, sat in the lone swiveling chair, donned the headset and began fiddling with the instruments. Before long, several monitors were on.
"Woah, woah! there's a lot of comm-traffic here. What channel is this thing on anyway?"
Robert chuckled softly at John, knowing he would now attempt to reach the Xavier Mansion. After a moment, he then turned to Animan, since he couldn't do much to help Professor Storm anyway.
"So, can yu morph into an 'oompah Loompah'?" He asked jokingly.

RE: The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning: Path of Heroes
Kristin Matthews (Phantom) - Morlock Tunnels
Kristin
stepped through the door that
Daniel
held open, her eyes squinting as they adjusted to the poor lighting.
"Uh, will he, well, do you know if he'll be able to get me out of the country then?"
Daniel
asked as ducked through another huge door.
Knowing
Xavier
meant a lot of things. Knowing whether or not he could get
Daniel
out of the country or not, was something she didn't know. Shaking her head, her chocolate curls bouncing softly against her back she stated as she followed behind him,
"I'm not sure. That's something he'll have to tell you."
Glancing back
Kristin
noticed they had come fairly far in a maze of confusing twists and turns. She met
Daniel's
gaze as she also noticed she had walked on past him a few paces back, her lips upturned into a sweet smile. Doing a double take
Kristin
looked around quickly for their guard, in sudden panic that they had lost him. In her uncertainty her foot caught on a small stone and she fell forward into the dirt. Cursing inwardly as she automatically tried to phase and failed in the attempt.
Getting up she dusted herself off, continuing to follow as
Dash
announced their status,
"Where almost there..."
the guard said.
"We just need to reach that bridge over there and get to our territory before..."
Kristin
noticed the drop in the man's tone and looked up to find what the man was so tense about. The figure that had jumped down from a ledge was that of a well muscled man with a cruel smile. In addition to the arcs of electricity surging around his body, he wore a chainmail shirt and dark coloured pants with boots.
"Megawatt!!"
Their guide exclaimed with a snarl.
The dark man's hands began to sizzle with the growing concentration of electricity before he unleashed it on the trio! The air hissed and sizzled with the charge as the newcomer thrust out his hands, the light bulbs above bursting in lurid, brilliant sparks to illuminate the moment of suspended action.
Dash
, throwing up his hands to ward off the blast, left
Kristin
to find another way to help protect herself. Nothing she could do would help and she knew full well she would not be able to phase through the ground.
As the blast hit her she screamed, her petite frame fell backwards and she hit the floor, her body feeling like a living Christmas Tree.
Kristin
couldn't see a thing the lights having gone out with the blast. She sat motionless for a few moments her pulse racing, her heart pounding heavily within her chest. Her hand trailed along the floor as what had attacked seemed to stop.
"Kristin?"
A familiar voice called in desperation through the dark.
Daniel?!
she was relieved yet still very frightened and her voice shook uncontrollably. Her hand came into contact with a smooth yet dirt covered hand. Her voice jumped in excitement.
"Daniel?"
She waited for a response terror coursing through her shocked frame.
Unable to comprehend what had happened fully
Kristin's
thoughts stopped in their tracks as she heard another familiar voice, yet she couldn't place a face within her mind's eye.
"You guys okay?"
"I think so."
The young woman called through the darkness.

Mc Taggert's Team - Mc Taggert's lab, Dublin Ireland
As N'dare commented, Alastor also chimed in.
"Its alot Cleaner than I'm used to..."
He said quietly.
"I'm used to working in Garages, Hotels, and the bed of a Ford Truck..."
N'dare gave a quick grin.
"With the Equipment here... I could probably build an inpromptu tank... so yeah it will certainly do the job."
Alastor stated, as N'dare simply shook his head.
"Alright..."
Mc Taggert said as he sat down at the main computer.
"Turning on stations 1, 2 and 3."
All three tables came to 'life' as he ended the sentence. All the devices and scanners showed green lights as their respective monitors came on.
"N'dare, it would be an honor if you take station one. I'll take two so I can better assisst you both from the middle. Alastor, station three is all yours. Do whatever you need to do with it. I don't mind if you recalibrate the setting to some of the equipment. That's what they are for."
N'dare nodded, as he walked over towards station one. He knew that Alastor wanted to work on some of the pieces he had found. Try to figure out a way around it. N'dare was wishing he had THUNDER with him. But, not really necessary.
He sat down, thinking about how they had managed to get inside the school, and take a student. The equipment that team had been wearing was pretty advanced. He thought about his own holoemitter system, for camoflauge. He looked over towards Alastor. Until he asked for his help, N'dare began to work on another idea.
Something that would help both Xaviers and the Morlocks, protect themselves from intrusion. He began tapping out some basic calculations and ideas on the station in front of him, stopping only long enough to pull his hair back into a ponytail, before he became a flurry of motion once more.

IC: Alastor
Alastor moved over to the third workstation and sat his bag down near it and slowly took off his coat and sat it on top of that. For the first time he revealed what all he kept under that coat. His holsters, holding his guns, the collapsable staff on his back, and a dozen or so clips, each colour coded in red, blue, and green. It was a several minute long process, removing the holster and Bandolier fully.Alastor felt odd not having all the extra weight on him, but focused on getting the work station set up. The scanners seemed to be tuned to a variaty of settings, X-ray, Infrared, thremal, even molecular scannings. And the tools at the table were more than adequate in Alastor's eyes.
Durring this time the guy who had been transporting thim around brought him the Armor and the Pulserifle. Deciding defense at this point was more important than offense he set the pulse rifle aside and set to work on the Armor. First part of which was finding out what it was comprised of. So Alastor set the Armor up on the table and lowered the scanner into place, then using the nearby control panel began the highest sensitivity molecular scan of the armor.
