The ensuing orderly evacuation he followed without complaint or comment. Dr. Weston appeared in her element sorting through the medical supplies and ordering the Legionnaire's around as if they were her own.

In the shell of his own mind he struggled. As time went on his resolution dimmed and tension slowly faded into the recesses of his mind. Everything proceeded with a professional calm that left him...hollow.

So he wrapped himself in the thrill of power, waiting.

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
