	Sydney lifted his eyes from Joshua's clipboard as Sulfrax spoke to him, immediately tensing the muscles in his irritably. Why the hell was he here? Joshua looked up momentarily when he was labeled 'soft' by his predecessor, visibly uncomfortable with twitching fingers and an unsteady gaze. He broke eye contact immediately and turned to Sydney for some sort of relief. [color=630460]"What are [i]you[/i] doing here, Sulfrax? I thought my council was rather clear when we removed you from the project. That of course gives you little reason to [i]trespass[/i] on these grounds, and strike fear into the heart of your successor?"[/color] Sydney inquired, glaring at the arch mage threateningly. 

	[color=0072bc]"T-That's alright, Sir,"[/color] Joshua yelped, tapping his clipboard, [color=0072bc]"We have business to attend to while the survey team is out, anyways. Perhaps we should return to S-S HQ?"[/color] Sydney didn't respond immediately, but nodded. Brian kept to himself, still shocked at how kind Ebenezer's response had been.

	[color=aba000]"O-Oh. I'm uh- Ah, Brian Tormal! Almost forgot my own name for a second!"[/color] Brian said, nodding kindly to Ebenezer. [color=aba000]"Maybe we should remove ourselves from the immediate scene. This doesn't seem like the most uh.."[/color] He paused and silently gestured towards Sulfrax and Sydney.

	Luke rose his hand, not looking back at Lone as he responded. [color=a2d39c]"A whole' lotta CMAS scum, Bud! I'm uh, not too sure who we'll be seeing [i]exactly[/i] but you'd better be prepared for anything boy-o!"[/color] He roared, leading the group through a set of uneven stones. [color=a2d39c]"We'll be takin' them head-on, do or die y'know?"[/color]
