Patagonia nodded silently, biting her lip.

"Do you know any ways of opening them?" Lucia questioned him, suspicious of his rapidity in coming to a conclusion.

Jay shook his head. "Course not, as I said, they're opened different ways, and they all seem a little different. One that the gang intercepted was opened in a rubix cube type fashion, but we were unable to solve it. But maybe.." He looked to Alaria, "We could extrapolate."

Alaria answers Jay, face perking up a bit, "buddy boy does!"

He smirked a bit. "useful on our part. We should be careful though."

"What's to be concerned about? I'm looking forward to this. Oh.. Just imagine the look the look on his face when I introduce him to ol'misty! I'm gonna call us up a ride!" Alaria was excited now, her southern accent running wild. She hopped downstairs and spoke hurridly in Serathan.

Patagonia smiled faintly but felt sick. Something just didn't feel right about this.

Jay looked at Patagonia, nudging her and trying his best supportive smile. She was shaking just ever so slightly. He knew this was hard for her, and he felt sorry for that. He nodded towards the stairs in a suggestion they should follow her, holding his arm out.

Patagonia held onto Jay tightly and followed Alaria.

The ride was an all-terrain 'hummer with reinforced armor, painted in the orange, black and white of the Serathem Battalion. It parked right in front of Alaria, and a soldier poked his head out of the gunner's port on top, waving, "Althael, Sethara!"

Alaria raised a hand, "English, Kim." She opened the back door of the hummer for the three, and gestured, "Shall we?"

"Sure, let's go," Jay led Patagonia to the vehicle, thanking Alaria before waiting for the other two to get in, as custom.(Sleep time he's just being quiet, drag him around or meh. :3)

(night)
Patagonia scrambled into the Hummer with much effort, as she was only 5'2".

Lucia clambered in after Patagonia, hitting her head on the arch of the door.
"I never thought I'd ride a Hummer, let alone with reinforced armour, and even less one of the Serathem Battalion." she laughed quietly to herself.

"Get used to it, you're with a former Ivy League member and these two crazies," Patagonia laughed awkwardly, trying to make small talk and take her mind off of the past coming back to haunt her every movement.

Alaria smiled as she heard Lucia and Patagonia marvel. It was nice to see that the Serathem hadn't been forgotten. Then again, why would they be? They were the best hybrid soldiers known to mankind. Well, as far as Alaria was concerned, anyway. (She's only slightly proud….)

She hopped into the driver seat, and they took off down the road, rattling along quickly through the streets of the city. All the while, Kim updated her on the situation with the captive Ivy League member, speaking in Serathan.

The movement of the war vehicle was familiar to Lucia. The silent movement across the roads, the gentle whir of the engine. It brought back memories, memories her mother had tried so hard to make her forget, though she very well knew it would never happen.
Her father had been such a prominent part of Lucia's life for a good number of years, it wasn't a matter of a couple years to forget everything.

Jay leaned against the door of the vehicle with his chin rested against a fist. Where were the living captives of this group going? Why were they killing so many people? Patagonia had told him parts of her story, not much like the others, and he knew that they did a decent job of taking out the tough people. He slid his hand down into one of his pockets to his own pistol, feeling comforted by the smooth metal. This whole situation was making his brain hurt. He was glad that him and his new companions were finally getting somewhere in this mess.

(Won't be able to do much today. I'll try, but in case I'm not here when we arrive, here's a description of Pride headquarters, main staging area for the Serathem Battalion:

The base is massive, easily spanning 5 or more football fields in both length and width. The outer perimeter is comprised of chain link fence, topped with razor wire, guarding a large stone wall about a foot thick, with a lip at the top to deter climbing. The road is guarded by two security checkpoints, all manned by Wolf and Fox hybrids. Alaria can clear both with a flash of her shoulder armor, decorated with the symbol of the Serathem, a half fox/wolf face with six wings branching from it. Below, her own symbol, a dagger with butterfly wings. Once inside, the maze of garrison houses, garages, and weapon ranges seems to go on endlessly. There is a fair amount of hustle and bustle, and gunfire fills the air from the ranges, punctuated by the occasional explosion. Fox, wolf, and even some cat hybrids run in formation, shouting out the vows of honor as they run.

A little extensive but feel free to do as you see fit!)

The Hummer pulled up to the base. The chain link fence rose up in front of them. Lucia slipped out of the vehicle, staring up wonderingly.

Patagonia stared in wonder at everytihng before her. "This is… safe."

(I'm back-ish. Kinda getting a little tight with time, but things will be slightly better on tuesday.)

Alaria's grin grew into a proud smile as she listened to Patagonia and Lucia. Nothing made her happier than seeing people react to the order and strength of her and her army.

"Welcome, everyone, to Pride Headquarters." Alaria took off her heavy armor, leaving it in the back of the hummer, trusting Kim would know to return it to her Garrison House. She directed the group down the eastward road as the hummer sped north, "Buddy boy will be in the infirmiry. We'll be picking him up there. Oh, and feel free to ask about anything you see on the way there. I'm a bit more relaxed when it comes to operational security. At least, around people that can handle themselves."

Alaria looked to Patagonia, a slight smirk on her face.
