"Down the forest and up this crazy damn mountain. I don't know if your Earth had everest, but this thing was pretty close. We landed somewhere around the summit and he brought me down to the ground."
My friend said he came here once on accident when he first learned how to run between dimensions and told me this would be a good place to escape to when I left my Earth. Apparently something up there brought him here." Cylus says.
"And this is the same friend that I'd be trying to contact to get us to the other side... and based on what you once said, you might have heard of him." he glances at Marker, referring to the joke he once made about being a "second-hand Flash."

"Do you even know where we're going?" Marker asked with a chuckle, following behind Q with the others

-
"Back to the Paragon, yeah that's right." Marker said, nodding his head
-
[quote]*Well then off we go!* Q says before once again taking the lead.[/quote]
-
The group followed behind, and eventually they re boarded the ship, which pulled Away from the station and lurched forward, entering FTL back to the Dojo
-
"This ought to be fun." Cylus says. "Anybody got a map of the landmarks outside of the dojo?" he asks
-
"Yeah, I'll send it over." Marker tapped onto the pad on his forearm, sending Cylus a map
-
Cylus received the map on his wrist console and pulled it up on a small hologram. He scans it quickly before pointing to a particular mountain range. "There. That's where Barry and I arrived." he says. On closer inspection, it was clear that he was pointing to the Ko Rudo Mountains.
-
"Huh. Kinda suprised you didn't find the base up there. We'll drop in there." Marker said, pointing at the area where the base was.
-
"There's a Militia base up there? That makes things a whole lot easier." Cylus says
-
"No, not Militia. The Alliance Base is up there, Remember?"
-
[quote]*[b]I[/b] remember!* Q exclaims[/quote] "Ah you're right. I got myself mixed up with the Alliance Op I went on against Cerberus. My bad." Cylus replies. "The base is only a little ways from where I'm guessing the rift is, so we'll get there a lot quicker now."
-
"Oh speaking of the Op, how did that go? That squad was solid?"
-
"Of course, Aidan's team worked great. Plus I made connections with the Alliance and learned about what we're dealing with in terms of Cerberus. So all in all, it was a two in one deal." Cylus replies.
-
"Good, good. I'm glad it worked out. The more you know, the easier this damn war will be." Marker said, checking his data pad "By the way, it's officially the next day. So our little episode with The UNSC happened yesterday." Marker said, chuckling slightly. [i]One day after "Friend or Foe" One day prior to Harmony's Invasion [/i]

"All this flying is going to mess up my sleeping schedule. What would I call this? Space-lag?" he comments jokingly
-
"Yeah, sure. That's one way of putting it i guess. How you liking it, Q?"

He was standing in the back of the drop ship curling and uncurling his fingers. *I've analyzed and downloaded Cylus' fighting patterns as well as added other aspects that I've picked up along the way. Improvements, if you will.* [/quote] "[i]Improvements?[/i] Don't get cocky pal." Cylus says. [quote]*I just changed it to better suit me. You prefer to take the hit instead of block it. You take that and use it as a counter. I on the other hand, can't. Not [b]all[/b] of us can get shot and stabbed and walk away from the fight like nothing happened.*[/quote] "Ah, you [i]do[/i] have a point." Cylus laughs. "Smart thinking as always, Q."
-
"Always the-" He was cut off by the lurch of the ship as it exited FTL. The dropship rose up, dashing out of her hangar and flying towards the planet "I'm excited!" Carly said, looking around the small dropship
-
"Aren't we all?" Cylus looks to Carly. [quote]*Marker, you were saying something.* Q says politely[/quote]
-
"Bah! Nevermind. We're about to change this war, we're about to change everything!"
-
"I like the sound of that!" Cylus exclaims
-
Soon afterwards, they landed at the Alliance/Militia base, and went off to find the portal. Vaughn's device led them through the mountain range, eventually finding the Area Cylus had come from
-
Cylus walked ahead, looking around the area. "This should be it." he calls out. He kneels down by a cliff, the snow bombarding his hood. "Over here!" he calls. "I can feel it!" [quote]*This does look familiar. Even with all the snow and stuff.* Q comments[/quote]
-
"I see a rift like thing, you get the frequency, Vaughn!" "Aye, Lassie! Ready to send it." "Alright, whatever your message is, Cylus. Say it now."
