"Heh. I loved that movie," said Ozzy when the rest of the team heard the news straight from Danny's mouth. "So does this make Dawson 'Ash,' or is that role up for grabs?"
Danny smiled and said, "That was just a movie, and this is either real life or, more likely, another fictional adventure of ours inspired by popular culture. In any event, let's try not to take this too lightly. This whole 'World of Darkness' idea is a bit beyond our usual scope."
Adem Different spoke up, wearing a frown on his face, "Let me understand this correctly: We're about to enter another
universe? Not simply another planet in this galaxy or a planet in another galaxy, but an entirely separate universe in another dimensional plane altogether?"
"We think so," said Grimm. "In any case, it's hard to know fer sure since all we got is from Dawson's description. It don't seem like this is in our own universe, but there's nothing really ruling out either idea."
"The information you've just told is concerns me somewhat, however," Adem continued. "The state of technology is so primitive that there are no computers whatsoever? Hmm. This could be a challenge, but since I am the only one of us who has been off-planet, I may prove useful should we agree to take on this mission."
Mason Templar had been sitting and listening to the entire mission description and further discussion with a devilish grin on his face. Finally he spoke up: "Well, well, well, it sounds like my first official mission with this organisation was practically 'tailor-made' for your newest member..." He drew out his sword. "...and, of course, my
Caliburn. Let us debate this no further. A challenge worthy of our talents awaits us!"
The room fell silent.
"Uh... yeah," said Danny. "Ummm... anyone else?"
