Skylos nodded as he swallowed all of this. "It's quite...remarkable." His eyes couldn't seem to stay focused on one place for more than a second. "Security is awfully packed... We need a plan...One that won't take us the remaining 30 minutes we have until it starts. Any suggestions? I'm sure that our friends have found a way somehow."

Masamune considered for a moment. "Front entrance is almost certainly out," he concluded. "Which means we need another way in. Perimeter scan sound like a good idea?"

Skylos nodded. "Yes. I'm sure there's a fire escape or a back door or something. Of course I'm sure the former would be locked from the inside...Anyways. Let's hurry." He started going around east and then he paused. "Oh...And let's try to be casual looking."

"Agreed," replied Masamune. "Although we're going to stick out like a sore thumb anyway..." He grimaced. It was quite true; everyone else was dressed in different styles to then. Fashion, after all, could hardly be expected to hold still 150 years.

Skylos shrugged. "Oh well. If things go badly, I can always throw up an illusion or something." he gave a tiny salute and hurried back along his path. As he ran around, he noted that the building was probably circular. "Mm. Kind of like and arena." Skylos said to himself.

Masamune had noticed this too. It wasn't exactly a comforting thought, given what was about to take place. His eyes scanned his half of the perimeter for a way in, but found nothing so far.

Skylos had curiously tried some of the doors and windows, but he found all of them to be locked. Sighing deeply, he sought to meet up with Masamune half way around. Perhaps there was a back entrance? Or he could break in...but who knew what type of police the future had...

"Any luck?" asked Masamune as they reached each other. He was looking more and more trouble; they were bound to be running short on time by now.

Skylos shook his head. "No... This is quite the problem." He looked at the back of the building and was creastfallen to find no back entrance. "...We'll have to go through the main entrance... I have a solution for that...But I don't find it very ethical." He gave a troubled look.

"What is it?" asked Masamune quietly, glancing about. He didn't have too many qualms about endangering some bystanders for the greater good... he has grown up in a state of war, after all. But that didn't mean he had to like it, or that he wouldn't avoid it if he at all could.

Skylos mummbled. "Mind control." He looked quite disgusted and seemed to loath the very idea. "That'll get us in without a problem. No guard and no person would question anything..."

Masamune blinked. Obviously it was hardly a nice thing to do... but he'd expected something a lot worse. Then he thought back to the time Hanzo had possessed his mind and decided that it was worthy of Skylos' disgust. "Well, at least no one gets hurt," he reasoned, nonetheless. "It sounds like our best ticket in. And at least no one will be expecting it, hopefully."

Skylos nodded. "Let's hurry back around then. Time is slipping out of our grasp." he sighed as he sprinted around the building. He then snapped his fingers suddenly, a thought coming to him. "Maybe the watch can give us an interrior map of the place. It seems to be able to do well with large scale maps."

Masamune nodded. "Yeah, that'd be a great advantage. Better check it before we go in. We don't want to be pausing too often to look at it."

"The inside is probably very simple...It's a meeting hall afterall." He spoke to the watch. "Display map of the building." he assumed the watch knew what he was talking about. Apparently, it did and showed the plans of the first floor. "Yeah, go through the lobby and down the hallway until you get to the inner meetinghall. Works on both sides and apparently the stairs go to an acess upstairs."

"Good. That works in our favour," Masamune mused. "I reckon we should split up. Take one floor each. Whaddya reckon?"

They arrived at the entrance. "I agree. I'll take upstairs. But let's get through the entrance first. Now I'm going to do something very unpleasant and something I haven't trained much. Please try to shield your mind the best you can...This will affect everyone close enough to me. I think that mind shield I made awhile ago for you will probably still work." he waited until Masamune would be ready.

Masamune did as asked. "Right. Go for it," he told Skylos when he was ready, a slight note of trepidation entering his otherwise brash voice.

Skylos's eye turned from brown to bright yellow, almost golden. As he neared the entrance, a guard tried to stop him.
"Halt! No one other than the leaders are allo--" The guard was suddenly cut off.
Skylos's eyes blasted out a prism light that flew into the eyes of everyone in the close vacinity. Everyone affected - or infected you might say - suddenly had yellow eyes, and a childish expression. Skylos frowned and shook his head, hoping Masamune was taken badly to it. He easily waltzed right in, ironically.

Masamune, shaking his head to clear it as he followed Skylos in, stared wide-eyed at the guards. "That's... creepy," was all he was able to come up with to describe the sight.

Skylos's shoulders slumped. "I think evil fits better." He shook his head. "What's worse is that I've changed their memories so that we fit in perfectly." he groaned. "Mind alteration..." he seemed very displeased with himself. The peoples' eyes returned to normal and they went about their business as usual. "I'll take the stairs."

Masamune shelved his reply and nodded. "Right. I'll handle the ground floor then." He paused. "Do we have a way of communicating?"

Skylos nodded and removed an eight sided prism from his inner pocket and tossed it to Masamune. "Just talk into it and I'll hear." he gave a weak smile and made his way up the stairs. He took another crystal out and talked into it to Masamune. "The meeting is starting..." He walked into the meeting room. It was quite spacious and it was setup like any ordinary meeting room.

"See anything which looks like our cue?" askd Masamune while exploring his own floor.

Skylos moved through the rows of people. "No... I actually don't see anything out of the ordinary." His eyes turned yellow again and he searched around for any auras with mal-intent in them. Curiously, he didn't find any. "Perhaps it's not bad to them...or...They're not here?" he muttered to himself.

"The latter, I hope," muttered Masamune. "If it's the first this is going to get ugly, I just know it."

Suddenly, there was an earthquake. "Whoa. This happened before, on my last time trip! Does this mean...?" Skylos's watch also started beeping and flashing red again. An interface opened and said in a male computer voice, "Temporal flux detected. Time alteration in effect." It ended. "Masamune... There's a time rift opening above the stage!"

A curse, then Masamune's terse voice replied, "On it. See you in a minute." He hurried to where Caleb had indicated.

Skylos rushed to the stairs and ran down them, skipping every other step as he went. he went around the hallway and entered into the meeting room and ran as close as he could to the stage. The rupture in time was quite visible and the Presidents were unaware of it, seemingly thinking it was some sort special effect (mind you, it's 2154). Something was now emerging from the rift. A human, it seemed.

Masamune had also reached the stage by this point. "Bakamega!" he snarled when he saw no one moving.
