In his mind, Taz could see a little arrow pointing him in the direction that Cass and Daria were, along with a little sign that said "Please keep the voices down, we don't know if we're being spied on."

Daria smirked at Mike's quip. She had smelled Taz long before he spoke but didn't see him as a threat and so patiently waited for him to find them.

Taz walked faster towards the arrow. " Ok ill be quiet" he said as he reached Cassiel and Daria.

"Good call," Mike smirked. "Taz, Daria. Daria, Taz. Try not to scratch up the new guy too much, babe. Our insurance has to get reinstated sometime."

"Nice to meet you, Taz. Sorry I wasn't there to welcome you into the mansion." She smiled sweetly. "Want to tell me a little about yourself? Your mutation? It's stability? Where ya from?" she rattled off the information as she typed in her computer, seeing if anything new came up.

" well my powers.. are I ... well I can shoot explosive spikes out of my body. I can control it ok i guess." Taz said nervously while looking at the ground.

Daria smelled his nerves. "That sounds like a useful power." she glanced at him. "I don't expect you to be an expert. Even I'm not and I'm an X-men. That's why people come to the mansion. Mutations are tricky little things."

Whatever guard you found, Mike, has a map of the camps in his account. Very nice Daria thought to him Mike.

"How does security look?" Mike thought back as he gave Taz a once over. He really wasn't sure about what he'd do with this boy, save for keep him here and safe. This was going to be a hard battle once it happened.

Chip and I are working on the wall. However the danger room computer is impenetrable and our info is saved onto that and in other secret safe places. Daria said.

"Jamal is hiding with some friends and I need him back, he'd be a great help; his power is amazing. I've always loved it. Jade is with Linda but I'm going to call linda. She has wonderful ways of getting around the government."

Mike chuckled. "I meant at the camps. I wish my search had been as successful as yours, I still have no clue where Sarah is." He almost added 'Or Johnny,' but in truth he wasn't as worried about his brother. Johnny had shown that he could take care of himself for extended periods of time.

Taz sat down quietly he took a long pause then asked " what are we going to do about about the robots?"

It took a while for Daria to sort out her responses between mental and verbal but she finally managed to answer both young men.

"Mike and I fear no mechanical men." she laughed thinking of their 'vacation'. "Robots are easy to destroy...reprogram..." she shrugged.

Security at the camps is pretty thick, especially during feeding times. Because guards escort the servers. At night there are less stationary guards and more mobile ones. We'd have to check their routes and estimate the time we have between their pacing. she told Mike.

"Well, we never said this would be easy," he answered with the equivalent of a mental sigh. "That just leaves us with the question... where do we take everyone?"

Taz sat down quietly " I ... I want to help fight." taz says.
