Wraith does not reply, but keeps smiling. Rah chuckles at you, Kosta.
Galder slices a neat circle through the vault door and turns to look at Takuan.
Takuan reaches his hands forwards and concentrates. A few moments later, the sliced through section of the metal vault door starts to shake, then to wobble... and then it flies back acorss the room, nearly knocking a load of you flat, before clattering on the far side!
Impressive...
Galder then enters the vault, Chion lumbering behind him.
Always such thoughts of violence, Xeth! War makes not one great, remember.
After what seems an excessive amount of time, during one point of which Galder makes vague requests for a trolley, he and Chion emerge carrying a large book, which Galder hands over to Kuylen, who starts to flick through it.
"Galder, if you please?" says Kuylen.
Kellan was rapidly using up reserves of patience. She briefly envisioned herself with one arm around Kuylen's neck in a vise-like grip, the other hand holding her lightsabre hilt against his skull, caressing the switch of the blade.
She shook the thought away. Hardly her style, that. She despised dealing with Kuylen's thugs and their dirty and underhanded ways. Not that she considered Kuylen less so, but if her destiny was to take him, it would be by duel. Clean and honorable.
Watching Kuylen with the book recovered from the vault she tried to read his expression; surprise, disappointment, glee ? Hard to tell.
"Find what you've been looking for, Kuylen ?" she asked him coldly.
"Yes," says Kuylen.
Galder draws from his jacket a small ballistic weapon. His drawing of the weapon is VERY fast, with a trained hand. He aims it at his target and fires.
The bastic warhead on the bullet explodes in the chest, blowing out the spine and splattering the wall behind it with blood.
The Elder turns to look at you, Gundark, and then falls back silently, dead before he hits the ground, his sightless eyes looking up at you still.
How many more?
He knew, Gundark. He said he could not help his people any more. He knew he was doomed.
