"Alrighty then, I think I may have an idea or two..." Travis' reply to Felix seemingly trailed off as his mind, now fueled caffeine" began churning out numerous possibilities he could intact on his manadial.

Eventually, Felix began the briefing and divulged his knowledge of the Paragons further. While re-confirming that the Paragons were practically bottomless mana well, he also claimed they also possessed unique abilities, each Paragon providing a different skill than the other before or after it. Suddenly, Travis wanted to get started examining one of these things as soon as possible.

The Paragon of Espial, as Felix described it, possessed the ability to observe other individuals, but to what extent? Travis surmised being able to spy on people through walls; an excellent skill to have given his recent bad luck. Another thought occurred; can it only watch people, or could it also observed objects too? Asking so many questions about an item yet to be re-discovered was pointless and did his best to stop 'drooling' over the subject.

What then became nearly as fascinating was that the first Paragon to go after was in Redwood National Park, the same place Felix decided to setup his base of operations in too, just to be conveniently within reach. [i]Clever[/i]. "Its amazing what one could find in their own backyard." Travis commented aloud in amusement of the irony of the situation, likely to be interpreted in different but logical conclusions.

But this confirmed one suspicion of his that had developed when Felix first contacted him; the Academia [i]does[/i] know about the Paragons and the individuals - the very individuals he spoke to way up in the hierarchy of the school indeed have lied and danced around his questions relating to the Paragons. Felix was becoming possibly right about other organizations, even his own Academia, could be after the Paragons. Were they after them? Travis couldn't say, but it was surely valid enough to say the top professors know about them. The very thought however made him sick; cheated, that something like this was kept from him so dishonestly.

"I've none," Travis replied, fully understanding the team's formation, "personally, I am eager to get started."
