The cold evening air starts to numb Wyzak's hands. Thrusting his hands into his jacket pockets to keep them warm, he's reminded of the note as his left hand brushes against the paper in his pocket.
"Hate to leave this merry little gathering we have here", looking acidly at Sarlex, "But me and my buddy here really have to be going right now". Turning to Estella, Wyzak gives her a friendly nod and says, "It was nice to make your acquaintance miss. Hope to see you around".
Looking over at the metro station, Wyzak notices that the crowd has cleared and the police vehicles have left the scene. People seem to be coming out of the station now. "Well, it looks like the metro's running again. They got that back up pretty fast, especially considering we've just been bombed", Wyzak says with a hint of pride in his voice. "That's the Polish people for you. Resilient."
Walking away from Sarlex and Estella, Wyzak makes sure that they're far enough from them to overhear his words to Black, before he asks Black: "So where's the nearest safehouse where we can decrypt this?", patting his pocket to indicate the note. As they both climb the steps of Drznach station, Wyzak notices that a patch of the floor is cleaner than rest, right where Delta's body lay. Pursing his lips in anger, Wyzak says a silent prayer for Delta's soul. </span>

Zero - Jack replies: "I guess that would be that old apartment a few blocks from here. You're right, let's go." He turns around, "bye to you two, been nice meeting you. Hope we'll meet again". Then he starts walking quickly down the street.

<span style='color:red'><span style='font-family:courier'> "I dunno. After that run in, I think you might want to catch up on sleep on your shuttle. Food isn't that bad, and the seats kinda recline. But your hearing this from a college student who'd basically anything when hungry." *Adrian pockets his ticket and takes a seat in the waiting area. He then looks out a window at the bombed out area of the city* "Besides, I don't think the G.A.C. really gave a damn about missing hotels.

Svetlana turned toward Estella and replied, “Hi… you’re one of the final year girls right?” “We study in the same course at university,” she explained to the man standing nearby. Sensing the tension simmering in the air and intrigued by Estella's remark she asked her quietly, “What’s going on here?”
<b><span style='color:red'>"Ungh..." *Anthony opens his eye as he wakes up, and sees Colin talking to a woman* "Last time I try that stunt."</span></b>
<span style='color:Teal'> --LOCATION: The Old Metro: Waiting Area -> The Old Metro: Train Platform and Train-- *Raziel watches the train arive, waiting for it to stop completely before putting his feet back down on the ground and getting up.* "Dang, I was hoping I would be able to sleep longer before it got here, oh well." *He walks over to the train and boards, taking a seat along the wall, turning his head back over his shoulder and looking out the door he calls back.* "You comming, Adrian?" *After calling out to Adrian he lays his head back against the wall and tries to sleep, coat closed tightly with one hand on his pistol.*</span>
<span style='color:DarkKhaki'>"Ah, its OK, just wanted to write him a note saying where we should meet up when he gets better and explain a couple of things to him." *'Like where his weapons are' Colin thinks* "If the sirens I hear in the distance are for him, then I don't need you to hang around, and thanks for the help" *Colin sits and waits on the edge of the pavement for the medics to arrive.*</span>

<i>Bill - In that case, would you mind following us to a police station so we can get things settled? The men have gotten Darkness into the ambulance, and the ambulance is driving away, leaving the last man with you.</i>
<span style='color:orange'>*Estella watches Wyzak depart with his friend before turning back to Sarlex and Svetlana. A shiver runs down her spine as she looks into Sarlex's eyes...there's something not quite right, and it's probably prudent to get away from him.* "Yes, that's right...I'm one of the final years. What a coincidence! I was going to the university too...shall we walk together?" *She turns back to Sarlex.* "Nice to meet you, Sarlex...until we meet again." *Estella walks down the street, back towards the university.*</span>
<span style='color:DarkKhaki'>"Yes, I would mind. I've got to see someone in a few minutes about getting out of this warzone.

She didn't answer my question, Svetlana thought as she watched the retreating figure of Estella. However, considering the piercing stare of the man standing in front of her and the guarded tone of Estella's voice, Svetlana decided it was not prudent to inquire further. Politely nodding her farewell to the morose stranger she followed Estella out of the station.
<b>Solanaceae, I need you to read the rules on notation. They're linked in the first post of the thread</b>
<i>Bill - "Sorry sir, unless you're able to show some identification I'm afraid I'll have to bring you in for basic questioning. After all, someone has been shot. I know you want to get out of here, but rules are rules."
Darkness - You wake up in a soft bed, vaguely remembering the events at the hollow. Your clothes have been changed. The light from a bright lamp above you blinds you, but you sense the presense of several persons around you, talking to each other, though youu can't really make out what you're saying since you're still very confused and hazy.
Khaim, Terran - The train arrives at the spaceport station. The place looks like it has always done it seems, and yet, someone's standing in the corner of the platform, holding a large rifle.
Zero - You follow Jack into an old, abandoned apartment. The place is dirty, and it smells rotten. Jack sits down on an old wooden chair and gestures for you to take a seat too. Then he takes out a noteblock and start translating the text from the note you found on Delta's body.</i>
<span style='color:teal'>*Raziel slowly gets up and flips the safety off his pistol in his pocket, his hand idly laying in his pocket, right beside his pistol.* "Well, lets go Adrian..." *He walks off the train and slowly walks towards the figure with the rifle, waving with his free hand.* "Hey, is the spaceport still open?"</span>
<span style='color:red'><span style='font-family:courier'> "Ehh...is that...a really, <i>really</i> big rifle? He is at least wearing a security uniform, right? I don't think questioning strangers holding huge guns is a smart thing." *Adrian looks with an air of fear at the man, and the apparent balls of Raziel impress him. Or it could just be ignorace.* "I've got a bad feeling about this. But then again, I get bad feelings about everything." </span></span>
<span style='color:DarkKhaki'>"I don't have time for this! I need to see someone at the embassy in about 10 minutes to get a replacement passport!" *Colin checks over the person, looking for any sign that they are armed.*</span>
<i>Khaim, Terran - The man looks at you, appearantly surprised. "Hehee, don't think so man, don't think so. This spaceport belongs to the U.E.N. now, and no one's going this way unless we say they do. And I don't really see any sort of reason you should go. I'll be nice and let you go back the way you came, but only because I see no particular reason to blow your head of. Hehee."
Bill - "That's all? Well then, I guess we could convince the embassy to delay that. That'd help us get your ID too, which would help us in the reports. Don't worry, we'll work things out on the station." He pulls out a radio and calls for a police car to come and pick him up.
Darkness - "Oh, he's awake", "Pulse steady, he's going to make it". One of the persons standing over you bow down. Looks like a doctor. "It would seem you got shot during the barfight. But don't worry, you're gonna be fine, nothing serious. Just lie back and rest, you need it."</i>
<span style='color:Teal'>*Raziel stops walking towards the man and puts his other hand in a pocket as well.* "Well, thank you then." *He tries to smile, then turns around and walks a little hurriedly back onto the train.* "Adrian, we're leaving, now. To get a hotel room."</span>
<span style='color:red'><span style='font-family:courier'> *Adrian is magically already waiting at the far edge of the station, waiting for Raziel at the train door edge* "Come on! I don't want to hang around that big oaf any longer than I have too. He'll probably have second thoughts sometime soon and start firing off that huge rifle of his for sport.
