The Power of the Atma [closed]
Who: Jenna and Derek
What: Meeting up for a chat...among other things. What Jenna doesn't know can, in fact, hurt her. Oh boy will it hurt...
Where: just outside the west gate
When: Wednesday
She had to admit, the Colonel she had met here seemed nothing like Colonel Terrance Beck. Beck had been nothing but an overbearing, foolhardy man who believed he was above anything and everything outside the military. It had given her a kind of sick satisfaction afterwards to know that the country he had ranted and raved about for so long had fallen...just as he claimed otherwise.
But despite this, she knew to be cautious. She had fallen in with liars and manipulators before, and they would not manipulate her again. She would stand in front of this Derek Rayne and search his eyes...just as she had failed to search Serph Sheffield's.
She leaned against the cool stone of the outer wall of Jhelbor, waiting. Smiling. Either Rayne was very brave, or very stupid, for wanting to meet someone with the Atma virus. Unless he didn't know about it at all. She couldn't deny this was another world entirely. It seemed to play directly into multiverse theory. Perhaps Rayne was from another universe altogether, one that hadn't seen the Cuvier Syndrome or any of its aftermath.
...what a pity.
