Silently, the small hang glider made its way over the night skyline of an industrial district. Weaving between buildings, the glider finally set down onto a large skyscraper Abruptly the wings of the glider snapped back, revealing a figure enshrouded with black and dark gray robes. The teenager produced a small handheld computer out of a hidden pocket, and leapt to the air, not leaving so much as a footprint to show that he had been there.
The young man scanned the ground below him, using his limited psychic powers to probe the minds of the enemy, looking for a location to target. The search turned up nothing, however, and the glider flew on over the city, eventually landing for the night on a large, oddly shaped mound, concealed within the forest just outside of the city.
In the cockpit of the Nightstalker, Shadow used his custom-designed ZERO System to analyze the data he acquired from the mind of Prometheus and his team of highly trained killers.
Unconscious, Shadow absorbed the information, speaking parts of the data. "XX1 Colony targeted … phase 1, colony heart deactivated … phase 2, hostages … phase 3 … phase 3 … no, no it can't be, phase 3 … complete destruction of Colony XX1."
The computer bleeped, bringing Shadow out of the interface trance, and into the real world once again. Slowly, He sat up, shaking his head to orient himself. The information was almost too much for him, he climbed out of the cockpit to get at the fresh air, and lost his balance.
"There isn't usually this much mental stress from an interface transfer," he mused. "I should get the Zero System checked out. Perhaps Dr. Unter could take a look at it. He owes me a favor, and I think now would be an appropriate time to use it."
