Ves wafted smoke away from his face and looked at the remains of yet another computer terminal, growling with increasing annoyance. This was taking longer than he expected, and his mood wasn't getting any better with all the delays. Pulling his hand free of the wreckage as he looked around the room for a terminal without a hole in it.
Striding across the room to the last computer, stepping on Council guards prone forms as he did, applying a few kicks here and there to keep them "sedated" Ves muttered to himself, "Ok, I think I know where I'm going wrong here, maybe if I try altering the cell replacement programming this time....."
Pulling a cable from a pocket Ves hooked himself into the terminal, and within moments a rapidly scrolling set of statistics streamed across the screen as an image of the Veskit armoured shell rotated slowly by their side. He began to enter commands and altering various figures, pausing occasionally to scratch his head and check his watch, he'd best hurry, this was taking long enough already, the last thing he needed was to start causing a worry back in the city with his disappearance.
After what seemed like an age he was finally satisfied with his work, and he bagan to download the new data on the screen.
"Ok, well, time to try this again, can't go much worse than last time"
Veskit's eyes began to flicker, the intensity of the energy emissions increasing as he activated his armour system, but something unusual was happening, his shell hadn't enveloped him like it normally did, and he wasn't standing anymore, he was curled in a ball on the floor, his face set in a mask of pain.
And suddenly, the lights behind his eyes flickered out.....
