[Taocow PBEM] [Alex and Vesper] Book 3 - Chapter XVII

[Aaron Clausen]

OOC: Many apologies for the lateness of this. I'm trying to finish a
course by the August 24th deadline, as well as having projects
stacking up at work.

>>>> They await only Vesper's intentions now.

>>>> A loud whining sound comes from the pyramid complex, and the gate

>>>
>>> "Anybody ready to go, I think  now is the time.

>>> After a moment, Alex contacts the ship, "Hawk to vessel, what is going

[GM]
Vesper can sense that a rift is opening, or very soon going to open,
atop that pyramid in the complex.
[/GM]

> [Alex]

[GM]
There is still no response from Ted.
[/GM]

OOC: Going to split Vesper and Alex off in to their own posts...
