~~~~~0111~~~~ Bravo.net (----) Planetside network theta-chi.592 The amazing Fenrir strikes again. This time, he defied the laws of Physics and teleported a solid object through an Alderson Route. (Alright, I admit it, I did use an Alderson Route. Just don't tell Reuben.) Your Myranium Crystals you're carrying- we must destroy them. All three. Reuben's men have traced the third crystal to this planet. It's an isolated moon in orbit around Bravo 7, a small planet in the Bravo System. He has also transported the Khumatzof to a lab underneath the surface. Here- read the archaeological report filed by Winford (Crimson Lamb's chief archaeologist)

File routed from source- >>>>> Stilgar.files(Genesis 37:29) _______________________________/ Reuben, we've hit the jackpot. It's a small moon in the Bravo System. Our seismographs show a shallow opening in the surface- It appears to be the ancient F'ynch ruins. According to the Spartan legend, the final crystal is located within the ruins of the F'ynch temple. We have already begun our excavation and we hope to have the crystal out in three Sol days. The Khumatzof prototype has arrived and we are storing it in a lab under the surface. Crimson Lamb forces have set up a small underground outpost to guard the entrance to the ruins. The caverns under here are immense, and we've established a lab and living quarters. Have to go now- I await your presence on the bridge of our orbiting shuttle, the Marx.

~~~~~0111~~~~ Bravo.net (----) Planetside network theta-chi.592 Yes, indeed. We're getting close here. The final crystal is within our grasp. The only problem is the outpost. You'll have to find a way into the tunnels. You recall the bedtime story of the F'ynch ruins, don't you? Ludicrous story, if you ask me, but you Spartans tend to like ludicrous things. Allow me to refresh your neurons-

~~~~~1011~~~~ Bravo.net (----) Planetside network theta-chi.592 A Spartan youth named Abaddon was banished to a faraway moon where he was forced to guard an Abyss. Inside the pit was a crystal. The elders told him not to touch the crystal, but Abaddon could not resist. One day, he reached inside and as soon as he touched the crystal, it shattered into three pieces. The first two pieces flew to the far corners of the universe. The third shard shot up like a rocket and into Abaddon's neck. But he did not die. He turned into a horrible beast and burrowed into the ground, forming caverns and mazes where he was forced to roam for the rest of his life.

~~~~~1101~~~~ Bravo.net (----) Planetside network theta-chi.592 Interesting tale. Only now do we find it holds some element of truth. The F'ynch caverns are probably the tunnels that Abaddon dug. (of course we all know that Abaddon is a legend. The tunnels must be some natural phenomenon. Maybe even an alien civilization) If you could set an explosive device in the F'ynch ruins, we could bury the Khumatzof and the three crystals. End of Story. Get going and don't come back until you've managed to get past the security station.

I know what you're doing. You think I can't spot your moves a mile away? Fenrir isn't as clever as he thinks. There was an Alderson Route in our vicinity and my ship has come into orbit around the planet. Your time of demise is near. I don't want to do it, but I have to. We could have ruled Crimson Lamb side by side- your plan to kill the other ten members was brilliant. But now..... I can't allow my dream to be ruined by someone I trusted. You will be stopped, even if I have to come down there myself.

Why did you change your name? I like Joe better. It suits you well. Come, we have work. I've managed to steal a map of the F'ynch caverns. The entrance to the ruins hasn't been excavated yet, but the natural caverns are open. So instead of trying to burrow through solid rock, I'm sending you to the lab where we'll drop by and I'll give you a personal demonstration of the Khumatzof prototype. I think I can alter it to work with two crystal at half power. It'll be quite a show. Fenrir
