Greg nodded, "Indeed." he said quickly as they pulled up to the boy's base. It wasn't as defended as the girl's, a jury-rigged warehouse that hadn't been completely boarded up. The fence had been put up recently but no guard towers were under construction. It was obvious that this was a new base...most likely filled with those boys who'd evacuated the earlier base.
The helicopter touched down near the warehouse-turned-base and they pilot and the few boys in the helicopter began to get out, congratulating each other on a successful recon. Surge was quickly escorted from the helicopter and taken into the base, "Well you deserve it from your story."

(Sad to see you go Lavender. Hope you come back)
Rachel hopped into the passenger seat and sighed, "I'm feeling under the weather." She quickly buckled her seatbelt and got comfortable.

None of the boys followed Chris as he left. The mech looked like it could easily take down a platoon of boys let alone Chris alone...perhaps the boys didn't know of this new innovation of the girls...

The Hierarch smiled, "That's actually the uniform for emergencies. In sudden attacks, there's not much time to gear up in heavier or more armored uniforms, so in the first hours, all the girls who are otherwise off duty get into those so we can tell who they are should any conflict reach the base." she explained. "I'm glad you like it, but there are several more uniforms in that closet." she said gesturing, "Go ahead, grab one hanger from the back rack, I believe each uniform hung separately."

(Welcome Millinescence! Glad you could join the fight!)
It had been tiresome, Mike's dreams. Images of the cloaked men in black storming through the house while he and his parents were up late watching movies. He could still see perfectly his dad, quick as lightning, taking one of the invaders down before another was on top of him, the yell from his dad as the fiendish syringe dipped into his spinal column still echoed in Mike's memory. His mother soon succumbed to the force of the other mystery troopers. The deepest rooted feeling Mike was haunted by though, was the quavering fear he felt that night as his parents were hauled away, a single trooper had a rather intricate-looking rifle held to his head while they were. The assailant's face had been masked with night-vision headgear, glowing red lenses covered his face...almost like a spider's, which alone held Mike frozen. He remembered the debate between the soldiers, whether to take the boy as he was a witness. The answer still resonated in his mind, "No. Orders from High Up say to take all people above 19 and below 11. No others." the demand was swift and the soldier obeyed. Nothing but blackness greeted Mike as the rifle butt collided with his head. That was when the dream would end...
(All right. You have a choice. You can pick from several bases: Where the main group is, where Chris is headed, or a new base where you can start your own adventure! Choose wisely, young one.)
It's not about how much dough you make -- it's about how delicious a pizza you eat at the end.
