As Ilmus stepped into the training facility he quickly pulled off his suit and pants to reveal his black skin suit underneath. The suit was the same one he wore under his combat suit and was created from specialized nanofibers. Without power moving them, the nanofibers only reacted to pressures, like that from a knife or blunt object. Even projectile slugs would set it off and turn the flexible, breaththrough suit, into a dense armor layer. The fibers would contract around the hit area in milliseconds and prevent penetration from such objects.
In this pitch black suit, Ilmus could move in the shadows. This was his life. This was what he was most proficent in. He loved covert operations and sneeking up on people. The hunt made it interesting and it was even better when you went up against someone as skilled as Lexxi seemed to be.
As Lexxi talked, Ilmus zoned in on her location and moved down some of the hallways softly to get closer. He knew approximately where she was and worked out in his head that she wouldn't be moving to quickly. Ilmus quickly moved into one of the rooms and looked around. There was a ball of string laying one of the beds and he quietly took it into his hands, pulling off enough string to cover the width of the hallway.
With this in his hand he moved back out into the hallway and listening carefully. He reached up to turn the glowrod a little and cause it to dim down, flooding the hallway with more darkness. With this done, he knelt back down and strung the string across the bottom of the hallway and tied each end down.
Satisfied, Ilmus moved off into the darkest part of the hallway and waited for Lexx to approach. He knew she could be moving this way. The other way was blocked and he was patient.
