As they walked to the tower, Zabel asked.

"Sr. how did you do all that and can you do it again?"

A chuckle escape from Tom.

"It did look cool, but that's all it was. I shifted the Sun's light into radio waves. The army of dirt men couldn't do anything, but stand there. I used my last bit of gravity mana to move some rocks round. If they tried to shot at us, I had a magnetic field in front of us so we could get in the SUV and bug out. The fire dragon was only going to last... about one more minute. All that wiped me out, I don't have anything else."

She thought about it and then said.

"Sr. you still have water up your sleeve, don't you?"

As they passed the gate, Tom muttered.

"Clever girl, yes I do. Speaking of water, what did happen to that kid at the piazza place?"

Zabel scratch her chin with a claw.

"I think melody took him home after he passed out from whatever you did to him Sr."

Tom was about to say something when a large hangar opened up from the ground. He peered down the ramp to see a vehicle bay. There was row after row of tanks, APC, jeeps and other goodies. Tom completely ignored the platoon of kobolds at the bottom of the ramp.

"Is that a MAX suit in the back over there?"

The platoon marched up to them as Tock answered him.

"Yes Sr. We modified a powered exoskeleton intended for mining operations."

The platoon stopped and a lieutenant walked up to him.

"Tom Fire Tail, I am First Lieutenant Mila. You are going to come with me and I will take you to a briefing room."

Electricity ran through his hair as a cold frost began to grow round him. He bent over and glared down at her.

"And if I don't want to?"

The lieutenant was regretting her poorly chosen words as she felt icy air flow round her. Zabel gently tapped on his arm.

"Sr. may I show you to your office room?"

Looking at her in amusement.

"I have a office? Yeah show me."

Everyone in the platoon got out of his way as the four of them walked down the ramp followed by the SUV. As Tom's eyes darted from vehicle to vehicle, the sergeant order the other two.

"Tock go get some MRE's. Jester get EE3 for Tom."

Jester grinned at her.

"Trying to get a pornmotion Sarg?"

She was given a standard issue kick in the ass by Tock. The corporal pulled out a collapsible baton and kept pace with the private yelling.

"Move, Move!"

Watching them run ahead, Tom asked.

"So... what is EE3?"

Checking around to see if anyone was listening in on them, she whispered.

"Beer."

When they got to his private office, Tom had to unlock it with a thumb print. The door opened automatically to reveal a unused room whit a polished desk and chairs. Through a side door were a bedroom and bathroom. By the time they got done looking over the place, Tock and Jester got back. A six pack of local beer and two MRE's were given to him as all three girls left. After locking the metal door, Tom being Tom also welded it closed for the night.
