Two hundred sheets to the wind.

We like getting out of Western NY free energy hq. Driving into the city to see if we can help. Much preferred to being couped up all night. Back in the city. As Scarlet Sprite, protector of innocents. Camera gets triggered over at the safe house. Fortunately, for free energy rebels we're nearby. Kicked into high gear Dragon the supercycle responds with an especially vicious burst into his powerband. The unmuffled exhaust is music to my ears. Weaving through traffic at over one hundred miles an hour life is good. Really good. Nice to have my bike back and he seems to be better with the rebuild? Too many extra parts before. Stripped down! Built up! Leaner and meaner. We arrive to the safe house.
 
Rode through one ghost and parked behind some Ray's. Part of me wanted to do something but first things first. Check into our safe house. Climbing up to the roof. Have a short conversation with a giddy reporter. We part on good terms? After dropping off the roof. Grabbed a display. Stripped it down to the pole. Using it as a weapon to roll through more ghosts. Then I see him. Intangible man is here. At this point, not surprised? Guy is everywhere free energy goes.
 
Sensing this is the best chance we've had to pull our own weight and power up inside the Western NY free energy rebels hq. Or at least since we attacked Battery? I turn put the hammer down and roll straight at Intangible man. "We'll see what you're made of this time" I scream. Doubtful it was heard over the supercharged motor on Dragon the supercycle? but it felt good. Intangible man just gets out of the way. Looking back, I wonder if every success there has been in any combat was due to a Sprite power? Bam I run into a wall of force inside the portal. Which is a story for another time. Another story no one will believe until they see it?
 
The dimensional portal holds someone calling himself Maru. Talks a big game about how the earth will be his and whatnot. A brief convo between us and Intangible man later. When a new guy emerges from the ground! What is it with these guys and moving through dirt and walls and such? Some things you never get used too. Maru and the new guy disappear into the portal. I'm getting off the deck ready to throw with Intangible man for bragging rights at free energy. When he moves into the ground. "Not this time sweetheart", he says.
 
At least for tonight free energy holds the high ground. - Scarlet and the Sprite.
 
Epilogue.
 
Returning to HQ and being debriefed it's determined this was one of LFER's first confirmed contacts with level 37! A shadowy organization reportedly in control of the key. Which is a term for the ability to move back and forth to the Hollow. Preparation will begin to prevent any of us from being vanished and to recover the key for our use. Another thing to worry about!
 
Later an invitation was sent to a certain reporter. After a visit was paid to a clandestine meeting. Where an agreement was made that some information could be shared between our two parties. Hopefully, this contact will be useful to find this level 37. and for PR purposes for keeping the Western NY cell of the LFER from being villainized by the Ray's. The press' spin puts the blame of the ghost's night out onto level 37.
