[color=808080][I]"Al-Qurtubi once said that wherever Jahannam goes, the uninitiated will hear its fury and roaring. When the eschaton comes, God will ask Jahannam if it is full, and it will answer, 'Are there yet more to consume?'"[/i][/color]

Megahertz chuckled. She lifted her unseen chin as a thrill surged down her spine. [color=b8cee5][b]"You know your Tafsirs. Lockdown would be pleased."[/b][/color]

The hologram did not share in Astrid's laugh, yet despite the faceless darkness in her hood, the straightness of her posture and unflinching gaze showed the newcomer much attention… and intrigue. 

Megahertz started to circle around Astrid once more. [color=b8cee5][b]"The Black King of JAHANNAM does not open his doors for any pawn." [/b][/color]She ceased right behind Astrid and looked over her shoulder. [color=b8cee5][b]"Your might is irrefutable, but our ranks are already overflowing with brute troglodytes and madcap triggermen." [/b][/color]

Glitches and static cut into the hologram, and in a blink, Megahertz reappeared in front of Astrid, close enough to draw attention to the former's small frame compared to the latter. Her next words came low, but Astrid heard it in the recesses of her mind. [color=b8cee5][b]"I'm more interested in your cunning." [/b][/color]

Megahertz stepped back and turned her attention towards the Cazadors, their numerous orbs and eyes reflecting the two women. [color=b8cee5][b]"Have you heard? A terror attack has sent Sector 7 spiralling into chaos and discord. All that power, all that money and security… It meant nothing as tragedy struck. Right in the heart of Ares territory."[/b][/color] The stoicity in Megahertz's voice wavered into a brief delight as she spoke. [color=b8cee5][b]"You've seen what came after. In their fear and paranoia, the Surfacers cast the first stone down on our abyss."[/b][/color]

Megahertz clasped her hands, hiding them beneath her sleeves. The red-eyed Cazadore walked up beside her. [color=b8cee5][b]"The Templars, Ares, JAHANNAM… it's a race against time to find the one responsible behind this plot." [/b][/color]She returned her gaze back to Astrid. [color=b8cee5][b]"Find this mastermind, bring them to us, and you will prove yourself more than worthy for an audience with the King in Black."[/b][/color]
