[color=silver] Karsin smiled as he entered the mall, glancing from left to right with his hands resting in his pockets, taking in his surroundings. He'd convinced not only one, but two aliens to come with him to the mall, that had to mean he was like, an alien-whisperer, or something right? He wasn't [color=deepskyblue] "No thanks." [/color]He replied simply to Karlie's question, shrugging slightly at her following statement. His eye's stayed shamelessly glued to Karlie as she spoke, only looking away when Julien arrived. He nodded coolly at his approach, remembering him from his previous encounter.

[color=deepskyblue]"Oh come on, do you really think the world's [i]third[/i] greatest detective [i]isn't[/i] going to figure out we skipped school?[/color] Karsin said with a small chuckle, before following up his previous statement with [color=deepskyblue]"I think you're forgetting about Red Robin."[/color]

[color=deepskyblue]"Beetle, is there a reason you've been mute on me all morning? You've never been like this. And although it is nice to have some peace and quiet, I'm starting to get a little worried, you still alive back there little buddy?"[/color] Karsin thought to his Scarab.

[color=teal][i]"Yes, Karsin, I am still alive. In fact, if I were to perish I believe you would be the first to find out, as any lasting damage to me is likely to result in your own untimely demise, as well.[/I][/color]

[color=deepskyblue]"Oh, uh, well that's good to know, I guess.[/color] Karsin said slowly to his Scarab, a slight look of concern flashing across his face [color=deepskyblue]"I suppose that's not a new possibility to me or anything though."[/color] Karsin thought, any anxiousness he had quickly dissolving. [color=deepskyblue]"Anyway, care to tell me what's got you going all Silent Bob on me? [/color]

[color=teal]"I am unaware of who this "Silent Bob" is, but a quick data search has shown that he seems to be a fellow human. I am not human. How am I similar to this "Bob" in any fashion? Please explain, I do not understand."[/color]

[color=deepskyblue]"Well, just cause you weren't- Nevermind. Point is, what's been keeping you so busy?[/color]

Karsin thought to his Scarab, excusing himself for a moment to use the restroom as the others discussed where they would like to go.

[color=teal]"Well, I've been scanning and analyzing all data compiled on the human known as Rufus, or Accelerate. As you know, my initial scans showed him to be a metahuman, and reanalysis determined that that was not the case at all. It would seem that my initial inquiry was correct, and some outside energy source seemed to be disrupting and disturbing my scanning systems. While the percentages of this naturally occurring are close to zero without some kind of outside interference, which I can usually detect, that is not what has drawn me to such interest in this matter. [/color]

Karsin's face turned into one of thought, as he began to make his way back to the group. [color=deepskyblue]"Okay, well what exactly peaked your interest then?"[/color]

[color=teal]"It would seem that the energy signatures that disrupted and off-put my readings match that of a sentient being, and that same energy signature seems to be radiating from someone within a fifty-foot radius of your current location." [/color] The beetle announced as Karsin began to make his way back to the group. 

[color=deepskyblue]"Well, that's certainly troublesome.."[/color] Karsin muttered under his breath, his eyes already scanning the crowd for any suspicious persons or activity. Noticing a sketchy hooded man, who seemed to draw the attention of a few of his teammates Karsin approached Davitus and Karlie, looking at them both briefly before quietly saying. [color=deepskyblue]"So, we're totally following him, right?"[/color]
