Whispering Shadows

***********************************

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drives me

Into madness

I know I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

If I will it all away

As more and more people joined the event it was also getting crowded. Luckily lights stayed the same low levels so he avoided being noticed just fine.

It also was a sign to slip into next mode of operation- observation. So far Nate has spent few hours sorting through many pockets and then some of the crafts up on the roof. Shadows made him invisible and sleek. But it wasn't why he was there either.

And for the real goal he'll had to wait out longer.

However, Roland, the gang boss, was getting pretty much nit picky over Nate's plan of action and so made the whole thing harder.

Whilst the gang was infiltrated for real Nate had the freedom and knowledge that made him easy to change his mind. Which he didn't plan on, until the Fleet and Federation higher ups started to arrive. It that one moment he saw him that kinda left his gut churning and full of butterflies flapping about.

Noel....

Don't turn away

(Don't give in to the pain)

Don't try to hide

(Though they're screaming your name)

Don't close your eyes

(God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the light

(Never sleep never die)

If his heart could beat anymore faster it'd make electricity, Nate was sure. Immediately his hands started to shake and his already faltering breath got stuck in his chest.

The only person in the whole world that could change his mind just about anything was here and he still had to be able to do his assignment and run off like nothing happened. His fear spiked and barely holding up the man fled to the dark room he used to hide in.

His suit was all prepped and everything was set. He just hoped suddenly someone wouldn't occupy it.

With his heart still beating crazier than ever, but maybe just as much as it once did, he pushed the emotion away and connected more crafts into his grid.

With his mind Nate created gridlock for each and all crafts he intended to take away and locked them into a synchronized command pattern he controlled through his mind. Like a remote control at the flick of a switch. And so far he managed to squeak the keycards too.
