Chapter 12: Meeting the team
Mr. Bruss looked at the warden. The warden pressed a button on his desk, the assistant then walked into the room carrying Slig pants. Khain slipped them on, then waited for Mr. Bruss to lead the way. As they walked out of the office, the warden whispered; “good luck, ya gonna need it.”
Mr. Bruss and Khain walked to the train station, none of them spoke the whole way. The same thing happened on the train ride, Mr. Bruss kept pulling papers out of his briefcase, filling out loads of paper work while Khain sat and said nothing. Three hours past before they reached the Feeco depot, they switched to a train heading to Velon HQ. it was a private train owned by Mr. Bruss, which was filled with unknown supplies. When Khain asked what was in the crates, Mr. Bruss did not respond.
Three more hours passed and still no conversation. But Mr. Bruss finally asked; “so Khain, what made you want to break out your friend?”
“I just thought it would be better if he did not have to work in some factory.”
“so freedom is it? Well I respect your decision, I also took the liberty of paying the warden to look the other way. But unfortunately he declined my offer.” Once more there was silence, as that was the only conversation on the way their.
When the train finally came to a stop, Khain found himself in an a large industrial complex that was the size of two Slig barracks’. Khain continued to follow Mr. Bruss, Khain saw plenty of other Chroniclers that looked very similar to Mr. Bruss, along with other creatures their as well.
Mr. Bruss stopped at a large elevator that required a special card to pass. Mr. Bruss pulled out a gold card and slipped into the security lock, then pressing several buttons on the key pad. The both of them walked into the elevator. when it descended, the force caught Khain off guard and made him fall flat on his back. After the elevator stopped somewhere going up, Mr. Bruss walked out while Khain tried to stand back up. After he got back up, he soon caught back up with Mr.Bruss.
They then came to large Steel door, which Mr. Bruss opened with his gold card. Inside the room was small group of 5. “attention all, this is Khain your newest member.” groans then came out of the group. Except for one, an Outlaw who walked up and said; “so this the ‘legendary’ Khain, don’t look like much. You’ll probably last one mission before having to send you back to Skillya in a body bag.”
“now lets not be to hasty, I think you’ll find he is very resourceful. And costs lots of Moolah so I except him to last.” Replied Mr. Bruss
“Well I’ll be the judge of that.”
Mr. Bruss left with the doors closing behind him, while Khain stayed to meet his new Teammates. The Outlaw was the leader, they just called him “Boss”. The Heavy weapons specialist of the group was a big bro Slig nicknamed “Tank”, who surprisingly did not get his muscle from steroids. An outlaw minion named “Frag”, who was the teams demo man. A Wovlark named “Grax”, was the teams stealth expert. And the last member was an Intern called Doc. He was the teams Medic and Technician who had the good fortune to not have his mouth stitched shut by the Vykkers. Each member had a special job, while Khain was to discover his own abilities in time.
