All throughout the briefing a sense of dread had come over him. "Impending doom" were the perfect words if you were to describe it. This feeling inside his very being that screamed danger within him. He caught something in the left corner of his eyes. A shadow? He didn't get a good look at it, it could've been anything. Well some children had illusion powers, they were probably playing a prank on him or on one of the guards. Nothing out of the ordinary. That would be if he wasn't nullifying every ability. Could it be Alpha? Maybe he caught a glimpse of her po..there, again. Now on the right side. Just as he goes to focus on it, it disappears. He was beginning to sweat, his heart rate having increased from the usual 60 to 100. What was this thing...

Now he felt a sudden presence behind him. Something was pacing back and forth out of his vision. He could feel it going left and right, walking slowly in a static loop until it stopped right behind him. More panic. His eyes were starting to tear. Was this...fear? He didn't want to look behind, he didn't want to see what it was, or worse, if there was nothing to be seen. Slowly turning his head, the thing always on the edge of his vision until he took a sharp turn only to find guards. A row of guards stretched behind him, weapons on hand and standing on attention. Seeing Cipher look back, one of the guards gave him a condescending look before looking forward once more. Cipher did the same. He didn't feel it when he looked back, but now it was like a looming dark shadow ready to engulf him at a moment's notice. Closer and closer until he felt a tingle in his neck which sent all his hair on end.

The message repeated itself multiple times until one of the guards warned him to get up from his chair or be forced up. He suddenly woke up from his dazed state, wiping the tears and sweat from his face he looked around once more, nothing. No more presence, no more fear, no more panic, only calm. Nothing to worry about after all. Silently he took the equipment he was provided, wore the light body uniform, took his hand gun, his com link and other accessories and headed to the designated gate.

Mission, they were given a mission and he didn't hear about it. He didn't even know who was in team with him. Well he would know soon when everyone was gathered and ready to depart.
