Albus Khan, aka Chronos, joins the team.

by Albus Khan

Having successfully inserted himself in an active Faction in the current timeline as a mercenary called Chronos. He is quickly paired with Kaylon'tar and Ozar of Sol. The three are tasked to enter Sector Seven to retrieve five Energy Pods. Entering Sector Seven the breach doors slam shut behind them and they find themselves within easy reach of their mission objective, the five Energy Pods are however being objectified by a dozen Thraum, the darkside creatures, considered lowly mutant beasts.
 
Seeing Ozar and Kaylon'tar go after the Thraum in the nearby alley, Chronos decides to fly forwards landing on a third floor ledge to face the hulking military looking armored mutant flaying Thraum at the end of the street and activate the Time Stop Field of his Distortion Device. Held in time the hulk (Rka'Lin) struggles unsuccessfully to break free, so Chronos takes aim and fires three Laser Blasts at the stationary Hulk! Striking true with all three shots, Chronos is surprised that the hulk seems unfazed. Back by the breach doors Albus hears his teammates struggle as the thrall swarm over them and he is glad for his cautious landing elevated above the street.
 
Shortly the hulk breaks free from the Time Stop field and Albus decides to retreat to the top of the high-rise. Standing atop the building Albus makes a desperate ploy and uses his Chronos Blaster's Chronos Ray, a strong telekinetic ray, to rip part of the building across the street and drop the large column down seven stories, falling squarely down on the hulk. However, the rubble breaks apart as he shrugs off the concrete now debris. The angered Rka'Lin jumps up attempting to reach Chronos, however is just shy and lands on a scaffold near but not close enough to attack.
 
Now at the top of the buildings Albus comes up with a plan. Activating another Time Stop he then uses the Chronos Ray again to lift Rka'Lin even higher above the street and watches as he falls to the asphalt below with a thud, falling into unconsciousness. Flying down to the downed figure Chronos Time Walks seeing into the past and discovers that Rka'Lin is some type of Mercenary also sent into Section Seven, possibly to recover the Energy Pods or possibly other nefarious reasons.
 
Again using his Chronos Ray he gathers up one of the Energy Pods and the unconscious Rka'Lin and rejoins his teammates and says, "Guys, I think we might have been set up?"...
