As Mason made his way back to the slums with his repaired skin, he thought to himself about what the next step would be. His interaction with the young girl, Cas, was unsettling as he was still unsure if she was worthy of his trust, but she hadn’t given him a reason to believe her to be a traitor to his cause. It was also interesting to note how unsettling Terrence’s apartment was. It stunk like dried blood and had a noxious odor to the operating room… Terrence must have had to deal with some rather difficult times since moving to the West End. A skilled doctor was somewhat of a useful commodity to the monsters, and Terrence was more than just skilled… Mason considered him some sort of a prodigy… a Savant even.

He slowly made his way back to the tunnels and yawned as he rubbed his one still good eye, stretching a bit as thoughts of Alicia crossed his mind, curious as to how her mission went [color=slateblue][b]“She should be back by the time I get back to the base… I hope we didn’t lose anyone this time, it’d be nice to have people come back these days...”[/b][/color] Mason spoke as he absentmindedly strolled through the tunnels and made his way back to the slums. The walk was long and took time, but he eventually made it to the tunnel exit and found that the sun was already beginning to set. The beautiful orange sky was, however, ruined by the dingy clouds and dark grey of the slums as he strolled the streets to get to an alleyway that was obscured by garbage bins and chain link fences. The base was well hidden amongst the depression and dirt of the slums, making the alleyways a perfect place to conduct business for the rebellion, and a great place to set a base that wouldn’t be easily found by random patrols.

Mason ducked through a hole in a fence and pushed aside a few boxes that blocked his path, moving them back in place to seal up the entrance. On the other side of the wall of boxes was a short hall that led to a wooden door that led into a long set of stairs, the way down into the base of the rebellion, into the heart of Chaos. Mason flicked a light switch on the wall at the top of the stairs, lighting a single, dim bulb at the bottom of the stairs, before he descended into the central chamber of the underground warehouse that was repurposed into the base of operations for Chaos. He grinned to himself as he nodded to a couple of agents on their way out the door, who nodded back to him. Mason knew this was going to be an interesting night just based on his meeting with Terrence and Casara.
