RE: *smite* RE: [OT] English As She is Spoke

*fiction pt2*
	The world seemed to pause as the tension slowly increased while
that
small amber light continued to glow; the brightness pulsed gently for
three
seconds in anticipation of action as the button in Command was
depressed...
	The_Beast looked up from his Iced Beet Tea as seven burbling
explosions and burst of plasma fire appeared within the perimeter.  What
was
not vaporised rained down for several seconds, spoiling the clear waters
of
the pool.  "Hot damn!  I wasn't expecting that to happen."  The jungle
began
to settle.
	Ragged breathing and the sloshing of naked feet in water lent
evidence that not all the troopers had been eliminated.  In his hand was
a
simple handset of ancient design.  Pressing several buttons, a grin
appeared
on his face.  The_Beast's satellite phone began to ring.
	Answering the call, strains of music could be clearly heard;
"Cries
the Name, Cries the Name, Gregor Young."  his smile at the successful
sabotage began to slip.
