[u]Zhackie, The Tundra[/u] [i]Another[/i], Zhackie said in his head as he used his psionic abilities send another log hurling his way. He calculated in his head an readied himself as the hunk of wood came flying it's way. He struck, and as his right index and middle fingers made contact with the wood, it burst into splinters and scattered all around, adding even more wooden shrapnel to the small snowy clearing. What he did was more than just mere physical contact, it was the manipulation of such. It was a simple matter of observation and reaction, mentally predict the moment of impact with the incoming object, and at the very moment send out a kinetic bolt or wave, and watch it shatter. Send out a wave or a blade and watch it explode. One could incapacitate a person with minimal effort, or destroy them from the inside out on a bad day. Precise, fluid, deadly, psionic kinetic abilities at one of their finest. Combining these techniques with his passed down knowledge of Systema and Sambo only made them that much more deadly. He had long ago lost count of how many times he'd fractured his hands and broken his fingers practicing this. [i]"Here comes another one 'mishka'. I forgot to bring the first aid kit so make sure you actually break them, or they'll break you. Literally"[/i], he gave a light laugh as he remembered his mother's words to him. He sat on the snow, satisfied that he hasn't lost his touch. He looked over to Rom, who was a safe distance away from the shrapnel area chewing on a piece of wood, with his watchful nose keeping track of possible visitors. A bit of snow matted his fur, the cold didn't seem to bother him as much as Zhackie thought it would. He turned of his KAP filter and slid off his mask, he was done practicing. Now that he was resting he observed his surroundings, the cold felt great on his bare forearms as he listened to the low wind howl. After a few minutes of respite, he got up and fetched his coat. Clockmetal was about an hour hike away, he had to get moving. "Allons-Y! Rom!" he called with a cheer, Rom got up and jogged to his partner. (22 KAP8 used total) Zhackie zipped up his coat and put away his mask inside his canvas backpack, he double checked it's hidden compartment where he kept his KAP8 pills and filters. Satisfied, he slid it unto his back along with his plasma sword and Trickster rifle. He also brought along his longboard, useless in this terrain but he wasn't about to leave it behind after paying 100 credits for it. As he and Rom hiked he brought up his Tac Pad and looked for cubicle apartments in Clockmetal.
