>As Phantom continues remaining crouched on the floor - he ensures that Oneiros is crouched on alongside him.

"Don't make too much noise. If it really is Synapse - then he's tracking your movements via echolocation."

>Oneiros remains entirely silent, only slightly nodding before he then whispers:

["How are we gonna get out of here? You said he can track us, so if we move - we're screwed."]

>Phantom shakes his head slowly, as he quickly jettisons a shuriken disc from his wrist bracelet.

["Can you create a mass illusion? It doesn't have to be perfect - just good enough."]

>Phantom and Mirage then appear, fully visible. Both of them are in a dashing position - ready to blitz forward as need be.

"More Champion clones? I thought they were all destroyed?"

>Squinting behind his helmet lenses for a moment, Phantom looks a bit more closely at the man. Noticing the differences in his build.

"Much sleeker and thinner frame. Clear and coherent sentences too. Huh, you must be the upgraded model."

>Not saying a word, the Centurion clone then fires off bursts of energy from his eyes - at a speed comparable to that of his armored opponents. As that catches them by surprise - they dodge out of the way, while Hildebrandt then mutters to himself.

"I need to get out of here!"

>As he quickly turns and begins to run out of the base - the Centurion clone rushes forward, beginning to punch at Phantom and Mirage.

"That's the best you can do? Oh right, you don't know that the armor helps against that."

"Pieces of shit-"

"I'm trying! But it's not easy outmaneuvering a supercomputer!"

["Am I providing a sufficient level of challenge during this combat encounter, Mister Desmond?"]

"You will give everything to me, and then whatever's left of you will live the rest of your pitiful fucking existence in a rotting psionic jail cell."

Right before his very eyes, Dykrasia's form is rapidly breaking apart beyond repair - as his psionic power and knowledge is absorbed into Aiden.

>In the side room, both the bulky creature and the “shark” pick themselves up from the ground, shaking off debris. Having been more prepared for the collision, the woman strikes first, charging towards the creature again and grabbing onto it, using the leverage to get an angle to bite into it, her teeth piercing through flesh and sinew.

>With a screech of pain, the creature grabs onto the woman and pulls her off, its flesh tearing off in the process of her being removed. Having firmly taken hold of her, the creature swings her around, letting go at the last moment and sending her flying through a wall.
————————————————
>Off to the side, the small woman brings her hammer back down, taking a more defensive stance as the shadows surge towards her. Keeping both hands on her hammer, she carefully bides her time, waiting until the shadow is just in range of the hammer, and brings it down suddenly, still somehow managing to hit the creature and shocking it once again.

>Howling, the creature retreats, reforming into its solid form once again. Looking over the small woman, the creature looks her over with its blank eyes, evaluating her with an inhuman intelligence. Coming to a conclusion of some kind, the creature “dives” down, merging in with the shadows of the room, and starts silently making its way to the woman. . .
————————————————
>Shaking herself off from the throw, the shark woman looks over at the brute creature, then stomps on the ground, causing both the room she’s in and the creature itself to shake.

>As the creature regains its balance, it turns to find the woman is no longer there, having fallen through the floor, and it begins to walk over to the hole created by her descent.

>Just before it reaches the hole, the woman bursts through from below it, grabbing it by the legs and pulling it halfway through the floor.

“You, keep looking for those files, we’re not leaving here without stopping that project.”

>Tilting its head, the creature charges forward at Theia, leaping in the air to attack her from above, only to have its path changed as a pillar of water slams into it from the side, sending it tumbling into several desks.

>Reaching out to it, Theia attempts the same trick from earlier, only to find no response.

“Let’s see how well you can manage those flames when they’re cooking you from the inside.”

>A faint haze of bright light fills the periphery of a man's vision - as he slowly sharpens his vision. He can feel his head throbbing somewhat, as his eyes shoot open.

"Gyah! What the fuck…."

>Looking around, the man first notices the sterile aesthetic of a laboratory room that he finds himself stuck in. Confused, he then looks to the side - finding his arms and legs bound in energy fields. The fields, likely electromagnetic in nature, are firmly binding the metal in his armor to the table that he's stretched across.

>Then, the man hears a voice trailing off in the distance. A mechanical, seemingly dead voice - lacking in a traditional human cadence or tone. The voice gets louder and more clear as heavy metallic footsteps start to occur.

"I loved learning about the stories you humans would tell yourselves. The little fables and aesops you constructed for yourselves - to more properly facilitate a clear and concise understanding of the world around you."

>The figure, revealed to be Eidolus, then walks into the large laboratory room. Admiring the complex machinery surrounding him, he then turns to look at his test specimen - bound to the table.

>Orion looks at Martha, visibly much more agitated.

"He's a dead man walking."

>Orion drops his previous restraint, causing the "room" to rumble violently as he suddenly takes off, leaving a cracked and shattering "floor" where he last stood.

>Not even a moment later he arrives in Foundersville, apparently having been able to fly there. His feet make contact with the ground, skidding and kicking up dust as he slides along, placing himself between Madeleine and the man.

"There you are, you son of a bitch."

>He looks over at Madeleine, gritting his teeth. Orion quickly helps her up to her feet.

"Has he hurt you?"

"Nothing that'll get me when I'm awake, I th-"

"Why sacrifice yourself for her? You're American, you're better!"

>The man starts to go into a fighting pose and then stops.

"No matter, she's awake now. And she can give you her gift, even if you don't deserve it. . ."

>The man waves his hand, and the railings around the area disintegrate, revealing a "sun" over the horizon, which rises and begins the bathe the park with an intense light, the intensity of it increasing more and more until it reaches a peak so high that nothing is visible. . .

>Before she has the chance to say anything, she's interrupted by a knock on the door, and finds herself joined by a blonde woman with similar physical features to her, who gives her a warm smile.

"Wake up, sleepyhead. It's a big day for you. . ."

"Wha. . ."

>Madeleine groggily blinks, and then a load of memories suddenly spring up in her head as she notices a sketch hanging in the hallway.

>Vulcan is still distraught, but now acknowledges Paladin's words.

"Besides, I have no reason to lie to you about that. The MRD have a post-op report on the original Vulcan's death, right in their core files. They'll show it to you, and the recorded evidence."

"It's not too late to stop this, Vulcan. You're not the original - and you won't be charged for his actions. You just need to work with me. I can help you figure this out."

"The ways of divination are esoteric, and not always reliant on magic, often times the future of an individual is not divined through arcane means, but instead by understanding the movement of their spheres." ~Head Seer of the Department of Mysticism, Earth-2

>The owner of the tent, a woman using an old crate of some kind to grant herself some extra height over the crowd, also looks like the type to fit in with carnies, with an outfit that almost appears to check every possible box for a performer wishing to create an image of being a witch.

>With a dramatic flourish, the woman clicks and summons a trail of small sparkles that look like stars, earnign a reaction from the crowd.

"Welcome! Welcome! I am the great magus Sybillus! Trained in the ancient mystic arts by ancient masters from near and from beyond our stars! Capable of reading the fate of any being with a mere glance! Enchanter of-"

>The speech is interrupted as a cop car screeches to a halt behind the crowd, and a police officer steps out.
