Dash watched her go. He considdered insisting that she take him along and further explain herself, but he had a realistic view of his own strengths and weaknesses and knew that he would hinder her as much as he could help. Altho he was too disciplined to show it he was nearing the verge of colapse. He sat down again to conserve energy and turned to Axelle. "If you would be so kind, I need about an Ohr (the common unit of liquid measure in the world of Elements of Chaos, about equivalent to a liter) of sugar water, some iron filings and some meat or other form of protein." He asked brusquely, as tho requesting requisition items from a supply seargent. "And then I would appreciate an explaination of exactly who you people are, and what your connection is to the House of Nahz. Also..." He hesitated for an instant before continuing. "Could you tell me what I can do for you? I have made a horrible error, and restitution must be made. For my sins my life is yours. It is your right of vengane or service."

Axelle only laughed. "Easy there! Now, let's just take one thing at a time." She said, putting down her knitting project and grabbing a measuring beaker. She walked over to a cabinet, pulled out all of the ingredients, gave the sugar water and iron tablets to him, then walked to the hallway and into an opposite room. She returned with a loaf of bread. "The meat will be ready in ten minutes." Axelle said, handing him the loaf of bread. "Munch on this for awhile. Now, don't you worry about the Clones." She said, lightly. "They were much of robots, actually, and were being tested. The coach is safe, and will be helping Anna above ground. And...we really have no connection to the House of Nahz." She sat back down, and resumed knitting while telling him all he wanted to know. "We're just kind-of undercover in attempt to help others rise up against these demons."

Dash took the proffered food stuffs with a nod of thanks, pouring the metal dust into the beaker and drinking the odd concoction before she could object. He took a bite of the bread, feeling energy return to his limbs as the nanites coursing through his bloodstream picked up the supplies and started distributing them to his muscles. Relief flooded him as he learned that those he had terminated had been simulacrums only. He knew that the rebellion was really a loose confedaration of free peoples connected by a loose and sporadic network of spies and couriers, but... "Why have I never heard of your group before?" He asked around a mouthfull of bread, wich he was snarfing down at an allarming rate. "Are you in contact with the rebellion at large? We could supply you with weapons, men, medical supplies, not much but what we have we are more than willing to share with any who oppose the tyranny and evil of the House of Nahz."

Axelle thought for a moment. "Well...we're not heard of mainly because we are right under the enemy's nose, so to speak. We are the spying part, the people who actually go head-on into danger. And for supplies...well, we'll have to work that out some other time. It will be much needed in this situation that we're going into, if we are discovered." Axelle looked up from her knitting project when she heard someone decending the stairs into the celler they took refuge in. Axelle sighed with relief when it was Anna and the Coach. "Gosh, that was close--thanks to our Coach, here." Anna said, flopping herself onto a nearby sofa. "Glad you didn't take roll, Coach."

Dash stood as the two entered, slowly so as not to alarm the coach. He did not know what Anna had told him, but in any case he would not be surprised if the man were to hold a grudge against him. He bowed deeply, straightening and nodding to Anna where she sat. "I must appologise for my action earlier tonite." He said, eyes ahead. They were on the man, but he was focusing at some point behind him as he spoke. This was one of the men that had fled from him, leaving Anna in the lurch, as it were. "I was under the impression that you were soldiers of House Nahz. She" he continued, noddin in Axelles direction "mentioned that you would be atempting a potentially dangerous mission soon. I wonder if I might lend my services by way of apology."

The coach gave him a glare, then threw his head back and laughed. "Son, don't you worry that head off of yers. Although..." He stroaked his goatee for a moment. "We can use all the help we can get." He walked around Dash to Anna, who was dazed in some "la la" land of hers. He tapped her shoulder, then smirked when he got a startled response. "Oh...uh...sorry coach." She apologized. "Well? How were you after that long run?" He asked, concerned. Anna blushed and pulled a stray strand of hair away from her face. "We will talk later, sir." She whispered. "Right now, we've got a lot of planning to do."

Dash saluted respectfuly, fist to chest before effecting another deep bow. "In that case I will head back to my camp to retrieve my equipment, and see if anyone from my rebel faction will join us, altho I don't have much hope on that account. There is little love lost between me and my compatriots. If you will excuse me..." He turned on his heel with a polite nod towards Anna and Axelle before leaving.

Anna stepped foreward. "Wait. You can't leave that way." Anna said. "Come." She walked to the end of the hall, and opened the double-doors, leading to a tunnel. "This takes you away from the camp. I believe you'll be able to familiar yourself with directions from the place this takes you to."

Dash followed Anna, thanking her before heading down the tunne. It was long, perhaps a half a mile and wide enough to be used to move troops and equipment. He did not think that a rebel group the size of Anna's, he knew that technicaly the Coach was the leader but never the less, he thought of it as Anna's group, would be able to construct something on that scale. He dismissed the thoughts from his mind as he emerged into the harsh sunlight and began the long hike back to where he and the others were camped. He reached it just about at noon, and as he had predicted no one was willing to accompany him. As it was he gathered his few belongings, namely his military coat and most importantly, his barbed sword. He ignored the dubious glances cast in his direction by the other rebels as he walked away. He couldnt blame them, really. They were fighting the House of Nahz just as fervently as he was, they simply distrusted his past. He knew that it was human nature tho fear what they did not understand. He simply accepted and ignored it.

Anna looked to her feet as she was confronted by the coach. "I'm all right, Coach. Really." She said with a practiced smile. He crossed his arms, standing his ground this time. She sighed. "Anna..." He said, pulling a chair to sit down by her. "You MUST take it easy. You have to trust us--have a little faith in all of us!" "Yeah. We're not as stupid as you might take us for." Axelle said, stepping inside of the room. Her eyes softened. "You brought us all together--you worked so hard to bring this rebellion off the ground! Now let us have our chance to contribute." Anna smiled, tears in her eyes. "He looked like my brother..." She said. Axelle and the coach bent their heads in an unspoken reverence. "And..." "Anna!" A cadet, an underground agent, burst through the door. Anna stood up, feeling the tension of the unknown situation over her head. "Klyde? What is it?" Anna asked. Kylde was sat onto a couch so he could speak. Anna gasped upon seeing a crimson, sticky liquid covering his chest. "H-he...the b-boss...knowsss..." Anna's eyes widened. "What does he know, Klyde?" She calmly, but cooly asked. He looked up in pain; the mako glinting in his eyes. He fell into Anna's arms, coughing a deadly amount of blood. "E...everything..."His whisper passed between pale lips, and fell silent. Anna trembled. Coach and Axelle took up arms, supplies and such, and grabbed hold of their founder. They headed for the tunnel... In search for Dash.

Dash entered the shady reseces of the tunnel he paused for a minuite, some misgiving stopping him from proceding until he kicked his hearing up to level five and did a quick scan, revealing the perturbed presence of several parties aproaching down the dark resceses of the tunnel. He cautiously proceded, loosening his sword in it's scabbard before continuing. When he saw Anna, Axelle and Coach approaching he straightened from his half combat crouch and and approached easily, the smile sliding from his face as he spotted the looks on their faces. "Whats' happened?" he asked gravely.

"Run!" Axelle cried, while the coach helped Anna to her feet. Anna took the weapons that had fallen to the ground and strapped them to her waist and back. Her expression was blank. "I'm sorry, Dash." She said, nodding to him. "We're going to have to send you back to your camp, now. It's my fault I got you into this." She said.

Dash stood his ground, quickly bending to pick up a portion of the spilled weapons and supplies and following, but refusing to leave. "What happened?" He repeated, tagging along doggedly. It was obvious that nothing would sway him from his path of inquiry.

Anna shook her head, and turned and began to walk as Axelle was her voice for the moment. "They found out. So, now they think they can take us down just as easily as the camp they attacked today. There was a lot of blood in that battle..." Axelle said, looking down in respect.

Dash was confused and said so, asking "'They?' You mean the House of Nahz? What camp did they attack?"
