"Uh, no..." Des replied, grinning slightly. He glanced to the marine who had followed them. "The, uh, the Alliance and the Horde are the two main groups in control of Azeroth. Their founding dates way back." He stated. "The Alliance are mainly made up of Humans, Night Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Draenei, and Worgen. The Horde are Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, and some other races."
"We live in a time of endless wars." Celene commented. "If it isn't the Horde and Alliance, it's the Burning Legion, or the Scourge, or who knows." She explained. "And our mom and dad have made sure we understand the dangers this far outside of Alliance or Horde territory."
She shot a glance at Desidaku before looking back up, gaze between Nora and Soren. "From what I've seen, I can't imagine your world is all rainbows and butterflies." She added. "Unless those guns are for dealing with
very big
butterflies."
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Plaguewood
The stone beast smacked into the magical field; flipping spikes over feet and smacking into the ground behind Samantha and Ryu, twitching. Sam stood; taking aim and launching another grenade at the beast, watching it explode. "Fall back! Fall back!" She shouted, quickly opening fire on the approaching undead forces.
"Come on Pray, come on, you can do this..." The wheelchair bound girl chanted to herself, skidding along the ground in her panic.
Suddenly, the side of her chair smacked into a ghoul, shambling about through the fight. Turning, the undead moaned and lunged for the girl.
With a scream, Pray brought her elbow up; smacking it into the undead's face and causing it to stumble in surprise for a moment. The moment was just long enough for several round to find their way in her direction; decapitating the ghoul quickly.
Ferin Hopewell, Alana Greyfang
Sillithus
"What the Fel is that?" Ferin asked. "What the Fel are those? And what the Fel are they doing?" He blinked, watching with confusion.
"Well..." Alana commented, placing a gloved hand over her eyes and staring. "One way to find out." She said; beginning to make her way down towards the crash.

The large blue drake's shadow appeared before she did. Diving down she stopped just short of the ground and hissed loudly, "What are you doing?"

"Fine." He said then spun around back to Mickey. "On one condition and that condition is that you let me see your library or whatever you call where you keep all your knowledge." He said.

Calin paused when she heard Cora. "Just exploring." She said with a smile.

The viking pilot was taken aback momentarily. This obnoxious native had come unwanted, tampering with things beyond his primitive understanding, and now he was making demands?
Mickey shook his head and spoke slowly, carefully choosing each word. He folded his arms behind his back, clenching his fists hard enough for his knuckles to whiten.
"I am unauthorized to give such clearance, mister Grindgear. However, I am sure that if you present your arguments to our science officers, something can be worked out."

"So who controls these... undead? Or do they just shamble where they have been creating, preying on the living?" Lilith spoke, pausing before using the word that, while not being entirely unknown to her, was not something she had expected to use in a real conversation.

"Exploring?" Zach asked, putting his binoculars away. "We already knew exactly what was here. This is more of an extraction. Grab the artifact and jet. It might be harder than we originally anticipated, but that's not really a huge roadblock. We'll just have to improvise."
He turned to Cora, glaring daggers. "So don't you dare tell me to leave off or go somewhere else. This artifact is
ours
and I won't let anyone dissuade us."

"Point," Soren said with a chuckle. "There's four major factions. There's the Raiders, us, who are trying to create a lawful and fair government.. There's the Dominion, a bunch of warmongering, tyrannical dictators under the control of Emperor Mengsk. There's the protoss, a race of religious zealots who don't really like us. Then there's the Zerg, a species of forcible mutating creatures who steal DNA and other such biomatter and incorporate it into their genome for the next Zerg to use when they are hatched. They are currently in the process of trying to overrun our sector."

"That may be so," Eva replied, "but there's more of them here than there was in the last ruin and surely in the band you attacked."
She ran her hand down the length of her rifle's barrel and sighed, "Not that we haven't been through harder. I'm just concerned what other disturbing things are down there," the Ghost shook her head, before activating her cloaking device and melded away into the scenery surrounding her.
"Let's get this over with," her voice came a few feet away from where she had been previously standing.
Nico tilted his head to the side a fraction while absorbing what Soren was explaining. Nora snorted derisively, "Lot of good we're doing against the Dominion
here
."

"The Lich King... used to," Abby explained, "but the war against him ended long ago, and he was defeated. The Scourge still straggles on in bands, often controlled by liches or necromancers hoping to take their King's position. They don't have his power though, so all they do is become a nuisance or a minor threat, but not an epidemic."

Ryu stared at the gargoyle's body, his mace in both his hands in a death grip. When Sam sounded the retreat he grabbed the bag of psi disruptors he had dropped when he had tried to save the marauder. His whole body was aching and a shallow cut on his cheek was dripping blood down his face.
"Pray!" the boy exclaimed, running over to his sister and her wheelchair.

"Get your butt back here Alana!" Tori shouted loud enough for the half-dragon to hear, but hopefully not alert anybody down in the crater. "We are not charging headlong in there!"
She muttered under her breath, Faile clicking her beak in disappointment. The falcon fluttered off Victoria's shoulder and perched on Zachary's, giving everyone in the party a critical and demeaning eye.

"You... lost me at the Zerg things..." Desidaku stated "Yeah, those... they're what now?"
Celene nodded. "Exactly. So the faster we get this over with, the less likely we are to get stabbed or worse. And all the better off you're all for it." She stated.
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Plaguewood
Pray was in the process of trying to get herself away from the horde of undead, coagulated blood coating the side of her face from the dead ghoul. "Ryu!" She shouted back, glancing around at bullets soared by and mowed down lesser undead by the handfuls.
"This way!" Samantha shouted, moving from the side of the patch and towards a building barely visible through the trees. "Move it! Everyone!" She screamed, smashing her gun into the face of a lunging zombie; the monster's head popping like a tomato under the force.
A massive roar erupted through the battle, an aberration shambling from the darkness and moaning as its elongated arm swung outwards; knock a marine aside. Bullets turned; flying through the air and ripping into the advancing beast, hardly slowing its shambling as the men fell back towards their Sargent.
Ferin Hopewell, Alana Greyfang
Sillithus
Ferin looked at Zach; smacking the other boy in the head. "You don't need to be a #$%^&* about it." He stated.
Alana turned back, blinking. "What? What faster way is there to find out who they are?"

Cora quivered with a hiss before shrinking down. She was wearing a large white lab-coat with only some black pants visible, and not an ornament touched her hair or face, "You can't go down there! Where is your procedure? Where is your plan? And you would simply waltz down and disturb a species no one has seen before with out observing them for five minutes?" The blue drake smoldered, absolutely furious, "And you thought this was a good idea?"

"We're not trying to find out who they are! We're going to go jack their stuff!" Victoria exclaimed. "What part of that didn't you get!"
Tori then rounded on Cora, jabbing a finger into the woman's chest, "And this is
our
operation, get lost! I don't care about your mumbojumbo science-species procedures! There are
artifacts
down there!"
She threw her hands up with an exasperated sigh.

"Fun times," Greg grunted, activating his cloak as well. The Spectre proceeded forward at a leisurely enough pace, leaving practically no disturbed ground in his wake.

"Guys, guys, chill out!" Isaac spoke up. "Now's not the time to be at each others' throats, not when we're facing a potential alien invasion!"
He frowned at Ferin, despite the mask covering his face.
"That was uncalled for, dude."
Then the half-blood stepped between Cora and Tori, raising his hands in front of the two girls - though the effect may have been somewhat spoiled by his talons that he either forgot or did not feel the need to retract. "Please, Cora, Tori, chill out."

Cora hissed angrily, "If you charge down there we will never see what they are like before they are intruded upon! Never! They've probably already noticed us, and you've already contaminated my data!"

"Who bloody cares!
?" Zach finally exploded. "They look like another branch of draenei. There's probably a million more somewhere. There's artifacts
down there. If we've found them, then Serenade certainly has. I'd rather get them and get clear before he shows up."

"Well, this is going well so far." Ferin sighed, facepalming.
"You all need to learn how to have some fun." Alana pouted. "It's simple, we go down there and say 'hi, what's up, we're some natives here to steal your absurdly powerful magical items'." She explained. "And then we do."

Ferin placed his hand against the ground, a flash of magic rolling down the crater as the earth bent to his will; raising up and gripping Calin's feet. "Nope, nope, nope." He shook his head, repeating the process for Alana and pulling the girls back towards the group.
"Woah!" Alana gasped, falling backwards as she was pulled back up the hill. "Jerk!" She pouted.
"Patience, you two." The shaman chided.

Eva made her way down towards the beach, taking care to try not and leave too many imprints in the sand as she made her way towards the ruins. Thankfully the zombies guarding the crumbling structure didn't seem to be very observant. However, there was the occasional shuffle and a turn of their rotted heads whenever one of the two psionics got too close.
"Giant man eating bug things that will tear you apart, eat you, then get better at killing your friends," Nora replied to Des. "And that's the less gruesome version."

"Yes," Abygail replied, looking at Lilith directly. "Most of the high ranking Scourge willingly embraced death for the chance at power and immortality."

Ryu grabbed the handles of his sister's wheelchair and pushed her after Samantha and the other marines as fast as he could, checking over his shoulder occasionally to avoid getting lunged and mauled by the undead.

Victoria gave Isaac a glare that would have chilled ice. She raised two fingers to her eyes and proceeded to turn them around and pointed at Cora, before looking at Alana and Calin walking off. Tori eased next to Zach, allowing Faile to drop back to her usual perch on the young woman's shoulder, "I got a better idea. You, me," she made a walking gesture with two fingers directed around the perimeter of the glassy crater, "grab the stuff while the brigade distracts," she mumbled.

"I'm down with this," Zach replied, equally quietly. "Let's get moving before anyone notices, though." He glanced left and right, then back. "I think they've already seen us."

Des blinked, gulping in fear. "Oh..."
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa

"Must go faster, must go faster..." Pray paniced, glancing around at the chaos of the battle.
"Move, move, move!" Samantha shouted, the men falling back towards the building behind them. Raising her gun, she fired off another grenade; watching it explode and take off the head of the aberration. She moved back as well, the undead falling to the ground with a thud.
The building was the remains of a Blacksmith; a mine having existed nearby before the third war. Over the years, the stone ceiling had fallen, leaving walls standing with nothing to support above. Wooden supports had rotted and fallen all over the floor, but the metal forges and supplies had withstood.
The remaining group piled into the shelter, Sam glancing around. "Weapons." She gestured to swords and maxes and axes having been forged before the area had fallen. Rust covered many of them, but some looked still usable. "Grab them, we'll have to conserve ammo!"
Admiral Noname
Ares
The Admiral gave out orders through the comm as the second and third towers reported in, pulsing and giving him a view of the area.
"This isn't good..." Noname stated, watching the sea of red that surrounded them. "Get communications operating, we'll use the towers for the signals, and set up out forward bases around them!" He barked, several officers saluting and rushing out of the bridge.

Isaac sighed, resorting to this outdated method of expressing his frustration due to temporary inability to facepalm.
"Am I the only one here who even considers the possibility of an armed invasion from the outer space?" he grumbled. "Cora, please, now's not the time to make a fuss about your data."

Lilith stared some more; to her, this sounded like a Terran willingly getting infested by the Swarm.
"That's just... wrong," she managed, thoroughly flabbergasted.
