"Kaptaan grab that other one. Only way out is that vertical floating puddle thingamabob. So....." Ekloria stuck her arm through it and pulled it out. "Didn't disintegrate my arm. Guess it's safe." She stepped through. She looked around. "Hunh?!" She stuck her head back through. "The other side is our base. We should get back and load up on our normal equipment. The contest shit ain't worth crap. Also the score board I set up has everyone but us listed as error. I think they maybe infected. IF robe guy is right we need to recruit. I'm sending out invites to everyone I have ever met that hasn't already clanned up. I suggest you do the same, I don't think this is a normal quest." Ekloria went back to the base and immediately went to her room. She took off the crap and threw it away. She donned her stuff. Using the Omnitool she started sending out invitations to everyone. "Cool got one acceptance from a few days ago." She sent the invite link for the base.

Ekloria checked on the contest host. "Error? Also had a Hulk artifact. The infected Hulk must be the contest host." She sent a DM to the surviving Specters to expect Ataxia and that she was logging off to check on the real world."

In the real world Ekloria turned on the news. There were reports from all over the world of people savagely attack each other. The attackers were momentarily staggered when hit by random weapons. One took a frying pan to the face and kept going. Ekloria barricaded the room as best as possible and reentered Sanctuary.

Ekloria found the others. "Robe dude wasn't lying. You should log out and secure your locations. While your here your body is vulnerable. Once you do that come back, then we can...fuck I have no clue. We need more intel robe guy wasn't very forthcoming." She began thinking about Anti-Viral artifacts. She checked the markets for them. "Shit Anti-Viral Artifacts are going for exorbitant prices. The three of us couldn't afford half of one if pooled our money together."
