Conrad didn't know where to go, he felt lost in the auditorium. As other people gathered round, all waiting for the announcement that was inevitably going to come, he felt like he didn't belong. With all these high-tech weapons and such, he felt a little unprepared. With a sigh he sat down on a bench, idly noting an explosion that echoed from somewhere in the courtyard. As he sat on the bench, Conrad set Cleave down and let it lean against the bench while he checked the straps on his armor.

As he tightened loos straps and smoothed out his pants, Conrad noticed that Cleave started to glow more than usual. Intrigued, Conrad scanned the area and tried to find a reason as to why it would start to glow but all he could find was people moving around. Perplexed, Conrad relaxed back in the bench and let the back of his head rest on the wall behind him. Figuring that if it didn't do anything to bad then it shouldn't matter.
