First Wave: Quatrain 26, Century 9: "As the Apocalypse draws near the adherents are summoned. Down to the catacombs they flee, pursued by an enemy none can see." We had to warn the Raven Nation. But they weren't about to believe anything they read online -- not something this important. Using information Jordan shared with only a trusted few I would send a top-level distress signal - it would trigger a failsafe plan. The Raven Nation would assemble. They'd be expecting war. Probably would've been easier news to deliver. Mabus was living inside Jordan, controlling her body and mind. There was no way of knowing what he planned to do. The Code 13 was sent. As part of Jordan's self-designed security measures the four top Generals of the RN didn't know each other. They didn't even know what the others looked like. The one thing they did know was the secret roster of militia in their zone. Four Generals with four separate cells, it was a brilliant way to make sure no one could cripple their ranks. But I had the names of the chosen ones. Smythe. Sullivan. Tonetti and Kendricks. They were all on their way to the meeting location. Their leader was gone. I kept replaying the events over and over in my head - Jordan, Mabus and I, trapped inside Stareman tower, a standoff with results I didn't want to believe were possible. I'll live with the moment forever - standing by the elevators, my gun drawn - a wicked smile crossing her � his face. I'll always wonder about the choice I made, because that decision brought me to the satellite base - to meet the RN Generals. To confront the fact that, now that Jordan's body has been taken over by Mabus, she herself may be the "enemy none can see." We needed to plan our counteract. But the Raven Nation wasn't all sweetness and roses. General Tonetti knew better than to trust just anyone waltzing into the facility - pulled a gun. The "good cop," Sullivan convinced her hotheaded comrade that I was the real thing. Smythe and Sullivan hadn't shown yet. Sullivan and Tonetti always got their info from Jordan directly - didn't take well to the idea that something might have happened to their leader. Then the power went out. Had to go searching in the dark. Found the old horse of the crew - Kendricks. He'd already done some recon. The facility had been cleaned out. The Gua had already been there. The Generals figured it for a trap. Tonetti took off, didn't want to take orders from anyone. The crew was rough around the edges but they had the fire to win. They couldn't be too trusting of anyone. With the power out the doors were all locked down. Kendricks and I found something strange in the locker room of the facility - a kind of skin - a giant snake shedding. And Tonetti found something else - an eye - human. Best guess said it belonged to Smythe. The facility used a retinal scanner to let the Generals in. Mabus, posing as Jordan, must have taken it right out of Smythe's skull. We had an uninvited guest. Tonetti had been attacked by something, but we didn't know what. He couldn't tell us anything - seemed like he was in a coma. There was ooze on his face; Sullivan's hand went numb when she touched it. Closer analysis of the skin indicated that it was in fact reptilian. Figured the Gua had a hybrid on their hands - had crossed the DNA of a snake or a lizard with human and Gua DNA like we'd seen them do with bees in Ohio. Kendricks had a hard-on about the chain of command in the Raven Nation. He was a military man, an ex-marine, assumed he was next in line to give orders to Jordan's army. Kendricks thought I was good enough to rally the troops behind but now we needed someone to lead them into war. I didn't care who was in charge, right now I just wanted us all to get out of the facility alive. And then I met the alien who'd infiltrated the facility. It came out of nowhere. She was chameleon like - blue, hideous - its skin was cold. She attacked me, got close enough to kill me for sure - but she didn't. She just looked me in the eye and leaped away. Kendricks was looking for a way out. Thought he'd found it, he went to work. Sullivan and I finally realized why the beast was here and why it hadn't killed me when it had the chance. It was there for the Generals, that was its mission. And until it had what it needed from them it wouldn't come after me. Which is what it did. Out of nowhere the beast attacked Sullivan, sprayed her with its paralyzing ooze and disappeared. It was a chameleon. The power came back on and we chopped the beast in half with one of the facilities two-ton doors. Sullivan survived but she couldn't remember anything about the Raven Nation. There were non-blistered, burn scars on her head from a device the Gua used on Sullivan's forehead. The beast was harvesting information on the Raven Nation. It was going to locate the members and destroy our allies. That force was Jordan's legacy. No way was I gonna let it get taken down.
