It wasn't the sort of thing the Chinese advertised. Everyone knew they had novas under arms, most nations did, in some form or another. What wasn't known was how the Chinese were going about procuring more.

The Xien Sheng Project within the government had procured the services of a trio of novas, at considerable costs, but they were more than willing aid in the pursuit of new novas, in their own way.

Shen Tsang smiled, frowned, looking at the latest batch of Catalyst eighy-nine, a chemical concocted by Dr.Xiang, the second nova here. He'd gotten ahold of the C-Z syndicate's Erruption catalyst and refined it, lessening the dreadful effects somewhat, but any viable nova created by it would still be quite tainted, and only of use truly as a shocktrooper. Still with almost eight dozen already created after a year of research and testing, he felt he'd made some progress. Of course there were significan failures, and decidedly some of them were major.

That was where the final member of the Trio came in. Shen Hua was a former Elite, offered an outrageous sum of money for her services. She was there nominally to keep the project under tight security, and if need be, take out any of the byproducts of the operation. She'd amassed a bodycount of novas far beyond any other nova Elite, but they weren't official, nor were they even close to her power. She sighed, wondering how many of this batch would go to far and have to be destroyed.

It wasn't that she cared, She enjoyed the killing. Still more success would get the higherups to back down some, especially some useable novas that didn't require special containment facilities until they were needed.

The 100 peasants selected for this day's test were naked, and all in independant rooms. The specially trained Cadre of Red Guard Elite, one of Shen's achievements, stood ready to terminate anyone who esecaped Shen Hua, and barring that, beneathe the base, There was enough explosives including a small neuton bomb, made to kill everyone and everything if things got so out of hand that new "novas" would be able to escape. So far it never got there. The trio of Novas, though Xiang was not really suited to battle, managed to keep them from ever getting past the Red Guard.

Shen left the lab, heading outside to see to the guard, and that's when he felt it. There was another, powerful nova nearby. Sending a command to the entire base, he suspended the test, ordering all systems to silent running hoping the nova flying above would pass by. Hidden as it was, he'd be unlikely to see the base from above, with several layers of cammoflage. He could almost make the nova out, and waited, ready to order the anti air guns, many already manually sighted in, to open fire.

Ling smirked at the camoflaged facility, "I spy, with my little eye..." He swiftly into the canopy enveloping himself within fluctuations of gravitational waves. If anything, it would now be hard to note his appearance, he was prideful, his flaw, his power flaunted, a dare as it were. Using the foliage as his disguise he made his way quickly to the top of the exposed part of the facility. "Shoddy cover up, missed a spot mates." He quipped his claws instantly growing to length, eyes still playfully guaging the situation.

When the nova actually dove and landed, Shen swore, Ordering the base to active alert. Inside the injections had begun. Dr. Xiang looked to She Hua. "Go see what this is about, I will summon you if I need you." She departed, vanishing from sight.

Behind Ling, he heard the click of rounds being chambered, as half a doxen baseline soldiers armed with automatic rifles, old AK-74's to be fair. "You are in a restricted area. Present your authorization and prepare to be taken into custody."

"You really don't want to do that friends, go home to your families, there won't be anything left for you here." He raised his clawed arm and brought it forward into the wall, with a resounding crash.

With his attack the soldiers opened fire, The bullets bouncing off his hardened skin, though 1 did leave small bruises (1 L damage from ping.) The metal of the building tore under his brute strength. These guards seemed to have much greater fears than him, and with the gunfire more would certainly be incoming.

guards go after him, end turn 1, beginning turn 2

Ling pauses and waves his finger, the world before the baselines shifts, everything becomes darker as they are pulled to the earth. If they could have fought, or were fighting, it was not seen, as their lungs fought to even groan. "I warned you," he turned to face them as the cut on his cheek closed, "maybe now you understand the gravity of my words." He faced the compound, his body renewed, a warning shot fired, many more will have to die this day, each one would not go unremembered. Ling raised his clawed hand once more and tore into the wall. Now that there was enough room, Ling comfortably strolled in and took in the sights. "Someones about to lose a lot of money."

Lings cursory glance inside could not prepare him for what was there, people were erupting all throughout. The people erupting were tainted, heavily, their bodies falling apart, changing into quantum induced horrors. They were dieing, slowly. Ling was too late to save them, he had only one gift he could give. Mercy. Ling spread his wings, feeling the place around him he set his path. With a hard kick from his right leg the floor buckled and cracked as he took off at full speed, the walls would fall as he crushed through claws first. Stopping at each tainted mass, tentacles, barbs, tumorous masses, he could barely make out anything human. He struck, his claws tearing the flesh of what could only be the mans neck, blood sprayed out, tainted and thick, oozing on the floor. Ling had to move on, a proper ceremony would be done later, this building their silent grave marker.

Ling put six more out of their misery in similar fashion, the last was a small boy, he looked weak, almost normal. He could feel the taint, the boys breath was shallow, perhaps he could make it Ling thought. Ling put a hand on his forehead, the boy was incredibly hot, "stay with me, I think we can get you out of he...." He was cut off as the boys eyes opened, orbs of fire had taken their place, the flesh around his eyes blackened and cracked. The boy screamed and brought a flaming lash right at ling as his flesh could no longer contain the aberrations. Ling dodged as the boy's bones popped and he grew, his skin falling like ash as the boy flailed in torment, attacking Ling in futility. Ling did not have much time, he prepared himself and lunched at the creature, striking his arm through the boys chest, blood flew about, disintegrating into ash as it fell. The boy lurched, dizzy, his body glowing, blinking, his node was unstable, something was wrong. Ling pulled his arm back quickly, and dove out of the room. The boy exploded in a fire of taint and quantum fire following Ling violently, Ling arose among rubble and ash, the buildings sprinkler system activated, pouring over the young dragon.

Ling said a small prayer and looked up, his hair clinging to his forehead, "these people will have their justice."

There was no warning as Ling felt a sharp stabbing pain over his spine which had sprouted a knife even as Shen Hua had come into view. When she saw he wasn't dead, she sighed. "A tough one. And to think you might have been weak. At least I found you first, before you could kill all of the subjects."

Ling takes two damage from the surprise knife attack it is now his turn. Shen Hua does have defensive actions remaining and is tangible.
