Vincent stared at the Grit's body as it disintegrated before him. Randy's attack felt just like that... Randy's attack. Not his. He felt frustration immediately rise. He [b]hated[/b] not being in control. While he could not help but be amazed at how quickly he defeated the monster. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath forcing himself to calm down. This was not the time to be upset about control.

[i]"Don't just stand there!"[/i] Randy snapped at him. [i]"You've got crap to do."[/i]

Vincent snapped to attention and then shook his head bitterly. "Shut up."

Down the hallway Vincent heard Roy's voice. 

[quote]"Mr. DeMoore, you'd mentioned there might be a way to fortify this place against more invaders. Now's a pretty good time to do that. What can we do to help?"[/quote]

Vincent decided it would be prudent to make his way down the hallway back to Roy and Berry. "I went to the library to find some books related to Rune Magic that would help. I'm definitely no Master like Father, but I know enough to be dangerous to the Grit." He scanned the room in search of the servant that was holding a book. That Rounard Skip book was the key to their survival. "Father had a plan. He knew this would happen. Well, at least he had a good idea it would."

He trudged over to where the servant's stone body was and searched it. "He had the plan in Rounard Skip's book. If we find it." He glanced up at Roy and Berry. "Also, this building has a generator. If we can get that running the mechanical defenses will activate." He found the book gripped in the arms of the servant and worked on easing it out from its grasp.

He leaned Randy on his left shoulder so he could use both hands to flip through the pages of the book to find whatever Father left in there.
