"Yeah you're right. We don't even know if they knew about us. They could be making sure Mama B, didn't survive... Splitting our heads in this, without more info is consp..." a sudden thought passes through his mind "Maybe they have attacked before and no one knows."
With this Nycto returns to Novatube and searches "Nova + Death" trying to find other Nova death cases, searching for something strange or suspicious or that dark tahoe.

(Let me know when you guys leave the warehouse and with whom.)
Protheuz: Your search returns a hundred hits, almost all along the lines of "Death to Novas!". Browsing through the postings, you find a message in a thread written by MD2010 in which he says 'I ain't goin' out like no Doc Spark; no way I gonna smoke myself.'
Doing a profile search on Nova.net for Doc Spark pulls up no results, neither does searching the forum for further references.
You google Doc Spark and find a news article in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (Alaska) about a Prof. of Electrical Engineering named Jamie Sparks, who had killed herself two weeks ago with a gun shot to the head. In the article, it reveals that Doctor Sparks was "gifted" with superhuman control over electricty and was also thought to have become one of the smartest novas on earth at the time of The Event.
No suicide note was left behind, and friends and family were shocked by her actions.
Further searches reveal a middle aged engineering professor at the University of Alaska, but nothing else really stands out.

[Well, at this point, I have Fenris, Jason and Harrison riding with Javier, with Nycto going off on his own.]
Javier is anxious to leave; the adrenaline is wearing off and he's starting to hurt although he tries not to show it.
"Awright, awright, let's get a move on," he calls out, "anyone riding with me, get in the car. We can have a tea party later and exchange recipes, okay?"
Once he starts the engine, the radio begins to blare out Spanish hip-hop. You swear it's the exact same tune you heard in the truck.

"Maybe another Nova death... Be careful.
Well then, be seeing you soon. Any trouble or idea please call me".
Again the shadows move towards Nycto, wrapping themselves around him, making him dark, with several puffs of shadow darting to the ground and walls, moving as if in an unseen windstorm.
Slowly Nycto fuses with the Shadows around himself, appearing instantly at home.
In the wall a picture is in prominence - a group of man in desert camouflage grinning at the camera.

//A clever mind ends her life...These are dark times indeed...If they really killed her this time they bother to disguise their crime as a suicide...Both theories are disturbing...// Harrison thinks ,considering Doc Spark's fate.
"What's this band? The tune is quite catchy in the end" Harrison asks casually.Nestor wrote:Once he starts the engine, the radio begins to blare out Spanish hip-hop. You swear it's the exact same tune you heard in the truck.
"So Javi, you told us about your 'chica' , so there's a real miss Javier?"
"What about you Jason, Fenris. Any girfriend ,wife or kids?"

Javier's expression turns to stone. In a very measured voice, he answers the first question, ignoring the second. "That's Kinto Sol; they're putting out an album next month."Volsung wrote:"What's this band?

The tone of his words belie the casualness of his reply. It's as obvious as a sign saying, "Conversational Mine Field Ahead."

(Consider he took the phone that they used to get online and gave the number to the others)
Alan slouches in the couch with the Tv turned on, but looking straight at the picture of his former squad. Near him, a bottle of whisky stands half empty, as he remembers each one of his mates.
"Dead because of me...."
With that he drinks another glass...
(In this stupor Nycto will "listen" the TV in a news channel. Any trouble or new news maybe takes him out of his regrets.)

[My apologies if this intrudes on your character's control, Saker, or presumes an aspect of his background. It just seems like a natural next step.]Saker wrote:"No." Fenris answers tersely in a tone agreeing with Javier.Volsung wrote:"What about you Jason, Fenris. Any girfriend ,wife or kids?"
Javier and Fenris share a look of common understanding and both give a slight nod. There is a fleeting moment of kinship between them, of two who have lost and are still feeling the emtpiness the loss has left behind.

Protheuz slips into the shadows and is gone before the rest of you gather yourselves and shuffle into Javier's Chevy Nova and are assualted by a wave of spanish music; all you can make out is the occassional "Ciente cuatro punto nueve" as the announcer yells out the station's id every few minutes.
Javi pulls up to a well lit dinner that is suprisingly packed despite the late hour; Fenris get out and makes his way warily to the door and finds a seat in the corner of the old building.
Seeing that he's settled in, the three of you remaining (Boost, Nestor, and Volsung) head out onto the quiet city streets, making your way to one of your homes.
