Blackstar Warp Exploratory Corps

[Cloud]

((Well, I know I've split the group up and we've gone two completely different direction but that's all))

*Walking down the corridor he heard a faint noise in the distance, it seemed to be getting louder every step he took. He stopped, letting the darkness engulf him so that whatever it was didn't detect him. Suddenly something sped past his right ear almost deafening him, it must have been a bullet Cloud thought. He crouched low and ran at a quickened pace towards the source, he didn't want to get shot again by an unknown assailant. Another shot, this time it almost hit his right shin, he saw a faint light in the distance just as the shot sounded, probably the bullet exiting its chamber. Unsheathing his knife, Cloud stopped and waited for the next round to fire. As it did the knife whizzed through the air, sliced the bullet in half, and kept going towards the weapon that was firing. A slight thunk meant that he had hit his target. Pleased he walked towards it, calling out to the team member that was with him as he went.*

"Forward group!" called Whiteoak, "We're almost to the entrance, one puzzle at a time, we'll come back for the noise-maker after we've found out who or what is outside"

Whiteoak moved on, stepping out into the brightness of outside light. squinting in the sunlight, he was surprised to see a gathered crowd of the native population, obviously in the middle of some kind of ceremonial ritual, but stareing up at the entrance, probably in response to the thunderous roar which would have emanated out of the opening just prior to their appearance.

As they emerged, the entire gathered multitude began to cheer and rejoice and wave their arms in the air, and the drums began to pound again as the crowd now took up an anthem of celebration.

A small delegation of important looking leaders began to ascend the steps leading up to the opening out of which the exploratory group had come.
