His warning effectively snubbed by a shortsighted plan from both Deva and Zeruel, Torag nodded respectfully to his faction's leader before putting his hood back on and pacing his way out, having nothing else to say to anyone there.  As he passed through the door, he muttered to himself about how arrogant the Laguna had been.  If it had been possible to put Gregorovic down for good, he would've done it centuries ago when he first learned of his existence.

As he walked down the hall, an idea struck him, that everyone had two defenses.  Physical and mental, and there were few that could protect both at once, himself among them.  He'd have to work on that, for sure, but it did give him some level of insight on how to counter certain members of the other factions.  And as luck would have it, he noticed someone floating down the hall that could assist in the matter.  She looked a little shaken for one reason or another, though it wasn't really a concern of his at the moment.  [color=CAC100]"Abigail, if you have a moment, please walk- er... float, with me."[/color]  He beckoned for her to come over, turning slightly.

From within the golem Zacharias had used to collect his body, an amount of static would be heard as Marquis' singular eye came back to life.  Soon after, his head twitched slightly as several sparks flew from his neck.  The AI caught sight of one of his arms in the hands of his captor, and beyond that, a girl that looked to be made from patchwork that he could've sworn he recognized.  A quick scan of his memory provided a single file on powerful, trans-Nexus beings that seemed to use the place as a plaything.  However, there still wasn't a name to put with the face.  From what he could tell, he was in quite the predicament if he was where he thought he was.  Well, there was one way to figure out just how screwed he was.

[color=6ecff6]"Excuse me, but... where am I, exactly?  I need to get back to Hyperion."[/color]

The Faceless One stepped from the shadows of behind Lucille's Throne once again, this time less ravenous due to Mephilus now missing a good chunk of his home's staff, however still with his constant hunger gnawing at him.  There were even more people here than there were previously, including a hulking amalgam of Machina weaponry and demonic flesh, a succubus in blue, and a child made from plant matter and slime.  [color=634680]"Huh, Hell's really let anyone join up since I disappeared..."[/color]  Electing to say little else for the moment, he moved over to the newly-broken window and opened up a small portal beneath the shards, the other side opening outside and dumping sharp glass on whoever was unfortunate enough to be passing below.  [color=634680]"Abinsthe, glad to see you're still around.  Thought everyone I knew had up and left the Nexus while I was gone.  Guess I was wrong,"[/color] he admitted, flicking some glass off the ledge before leaning on it and crossing his arms.

[color=634680]"Oh, and I'm ready to head out whenever.  I'm in no rush, but still, just give the word."[/color]
