	Fragging nightmare. Fragging Pitty. Fragging shadow spirits. I'm starting to think these things are bad news - Jack's been a useful ally, but this damn thing tried to make me an offer I couldn't refuse, luring me into that room and tempting me with promises of power... worst part is how tempted I was, something like that extending an offer of a pact to me... still, it wasn't on tenable, and there's no way it wouldn't have bitten me in the ass. As soon as I turned it down, the thing got angry and started using it's powers on me; I hate how helpless I was, that I needed the others to save me. That thing isn't getting away with just being disrupted, I'll hunt it down to teach it a lesson, maybe even compel a deal on more favorable terms...		Fragging nightmare. Fragging Pitty.

			Welp, I certainly wasn't expecting a shadow spirit hanging out with loup-garou in a sealed bunker under a silo when I accepted this job.

			''Sounds of sighing.'' Need to catch up with Babylon about how she's doing after this, touch base; most therapists wouldn't know how to handle the drek we meet and deal with in the shadows.

	Searching the wall that formerly held a military style hatch, the runners are stumped by the absence of any portal. Deciding that the best way to continue forward is with the generous application of laser bolts, Sp4rks directs his anthrodrone to cut them a new door, which keeps the party busy on the outside of the mysterious chamber.

	Meanwhile, Babylon has entered the chamber at met the source of the call; a Nightmare Spirit, disappointed in the loss of it's former vassals, but eager to gain a new one in the form of the Black Mage. As it shifts through multiple reflections of people from Babylon's past, each in turn suffering some form of agony, it offers to make a spirit pact with the lone mage. First it offers a magic pact, to which Babylon scoffs and immediately dismisses as unworthy of her. The spirit then ups the anty, offering a drain pact, which tempts Babylon who considers briefly the benefits of such a powerful offer. Turning to her Mentor Spirit she asks for guidance; Seducer is intrigued by the offer, but cautions Babylon about accepting such a pact with so nefarious a creature. Babylon again refuses, sending the Nightmare spirit into a rage. Looming above Babylon, it uses it's powers of fear to reduce Babylon to a quivering ball, unable to stand against so powerful a compulsion.

Babylon again refuses, sending the Nightmare spirit into a fit of rage. Looming above Babylon, it uses it's powers of fear to reduce Babylon to a quivering ball, unable to stand against so powerful a compulsion.

	Fortunately for Babylon, the team is on the move, finally breaching the thick wall, and entering the chamber. Rhicter immediately moves through the breach, approaching Babylon and taking command, slapping the silly mage out of her terror, and admonishing her for her weakness. As the Spirit begins to monologue once again, but the feisty street sam didn't come to talk, and quickly unloads a hail of bullets into the spirit. Pell, not to be outdone, yeets a manabolt, which forces the Nightmare to flee, grabbing up Babylon and heading for the door. Babylon's Guardian slashes the spirit, leaving a huge rent in it's spectral form. Sp4rks and his drone move quickly to intercept, blocking the egress of the spirit. Delivering the final blow, Pell's Guardian punches a hole clean through the entity, forcing it to scream and wail at Babylon, as she rages right back, promising to find it in the Astral realm and destroy it for all time.

			Entering the dark area which is absolutely subsumed by a heavy background count, Sp4rks anthrodrone Kaizer, and the ever doughty warrior Rhicter take point, moving forward. The visibility is extremely limited, offering the enemy loup-garou all the opportunity they need to ambush poor Kaizer, nearly tearing him apart. As the party engages the three werewolves, Bablyon hears a strange call, which envelops her mind and compels her to move past the engaged creatures and enter a doorway which seems to vanish as she passes through. Not having any options, the runners continue to fight the wolves, with Rhicter blowinng apart one of the evil canines with her Ares Alpha, nimbly avoiding multiple attacks. Pell's Guardian completely obliterates an second wolf, using it's elemental attack to great affect. Finally, Babylon, Sp4rks and Kaizen take out the last werewolf, leaving the remaining team members standing in confusion at Babylon's absence.
