They went back through the teleporter and once again Faulkie felt the strange feeling all over his body. When him and Aerilas were there, they continued through the caves mostly silently. Faulkie was thinking about the enemies as he killed them. They were mutants. Actually, most life forms on Ragol were mutants, the altered beasts, of course, but the native animals were also changing. Soon, all forest dwelling animals would live underground. Boomas were starting to make nests underground already. Faulkie had heard that a giant worm, De Rol Le, had mutated the animals. But these weren't the only mutants in existance. Newmans, too were mutants, genetically modified humans for advanced magical skills. Every human has a magic gene in them, and by enhancing that gene, humans become new age humans, or newmans. Of course, their production was controlled by the govournment, or newmans would outnumber humans by far. But not every newman was created individually, newmans can breed. Faulkie, however, was made seperately. He had no parents. This made him different. With most newmans, their family was created many many generations ago. In fact, the first newmans were created about 100 years ago, back on Coral. Thus, some newman families were 100 years old, but Faulkie was the first in his family. He was created in a lab. He had no family. This was partly the reason he turned to The Star Raiders. He wanted to feel wanted, somewhere.par Faulkie was distracted, thinking of all this. So distracted, he didn't even notice how far they had moved. They were stood at the foot of a large teleporter. This would lead to the sewage pipes. Faulkie knew that the people of pioneer 2 had set these up. He also knew of reports of a 'mine' a little bit further on. The sewage pipe was the only was from the cave they were in to the mine. The teleporter took them to a long pipe with a raft in the middle. Aerilas pushed a button on the raft and it started moving. Faulkie looked down into the murky water, and, to his surprise, saw a tenticle come out. 'Aerilas!' he called, and he looked around. Aerilas saw the tenticle too and said, 'watch out kid, this might be hard!'. Faulkie decided to use Rafoie on the segments of the giant wormlike creature that swam next to the raft. Aerilas drew the gun that Faulkie couldn't identify and shot it's body several times. They repeated this several times until the monster sunk back into the water. 'That was easier than expected.' commented Aerilas. Faulkie didn't know how Aerilas felt, but faulkie thought that was enough adventuring for one day.par Him and Aerilas went back to the Star Raiders HQ, and said their goodbyes, so that Faulkie was once more alone. He had to go and see SirTom909 to ask where his room was. He went back to the office in which he first met the man. Expecting to see a RAmar, he saw a tall HUmar with pink hair and green clothes. It was frusli. 'Hi.' greeted Frusli. 'Hi', replied Faulkie, 'Where's SirTom909?'. 'I'm looking after the place,' said Frusli, 'The big guy went to Pioneer 2 for some supplies.'. After a quick thankyou, Faulkie went back to Pioneer 2. 'What a chore!' Faulkie thought. He was tired and needed sleep, but he needed to find SirTom909. As he walked the empty city streets of Pioneer 2, he saw a sight that almost stopped his heart. It was Ming.
