Night had fallen upon Ravelin and the lights peeking from the windows of residential homes speckled the cityscape like hundreds of stars. Perched on the very edge of a tall building's top, Madoc'leri'kleoni took in the sights through the advanced scope on his Charric sniper rifle. He had the night off and the district surrounding the Palatine had long since lost his interest. The last few weeks had been anything but quiet for the Chiss and he could not yet determine whether the pervading silence, minus the whistle of the wind, was of comfort or not. He knew precisely what sound could contribute to his good mood.
Pulling the long barreled weapon in and across his lap, Clerik retrieved the pack he'd brought up onto the commercial building's roof. His gloved hand retrieved a metallic orb from one of the inner pockets and he held it up for inspection. Grinning to himself, he impressed a switch and then tossed the orb outward. It broke into several smaller orbs, which blinked red, and then floated apart to take up random positions throughout the labyrinth of structures before him. A flap on the side of his sniper rifle was flicked open and the setting on the weapon was dialed back. Then, standing, he settled the blaster into position and fixed his sights on one of the training modules about ninety meters out.
