In The Bush Of Ghosts (Sling, Marek, ADAPA)

"Hey Marek, you picked up the same technique from this place, right? If so, it might have been surprisingly easy for that agent. Unless he had to give himself away somehow, not sure how we're going to be able to find him just based on that."

"God damn, it's hot here." Sling says. His ears damp and the rest of him dripping with sweat. "Let's find out what we need to so we can get outta here."

"That is correct, ADAPA, after our time here, I mixed the natural Element Zero manipulations my race engages in with the knowledge gained from the technology on display here. I was able to mimic the effect on a much less potent scale as I am but one person compared to a planet-wide system engineered to make phasing a reality. The time spent practicing before our mission began was also a crucial element, as it is one thing to know theories of phased matter, but another entirely to experience it for yourself. Ability, knowledge, and skill...our ninja would likely have had access to all three on this planet, but that does not narrow it down much...and yes Sling, it is indeed getting quite warm..."

The excessive heat of the planet started to wear on Marek, but like the time before, he extended out a comforting field of Element Zero* to help cool him and his allies.

"Mhh, that's better, now where was I? Ah yes...it might very well be that this ninja was able to learn on their own how to accomplish their feats, and if that is the case, our time here will surely be of little value. Instead, it might be better to operate under the assumption that this ninja had aid, likely from trusted sources, in gaining their abilities. We might very well need to look for a secret ninja dojo!"

Marek wiggled his tentacles at the end to visibly show his excitement at the prospect of helping to uncover such a secretive clan. A clan so secretive that it might not even exist at all, but it was as good a theory as any they had at the moment.

"Oooo, baby! Our own personal air coolinator." Sling sighs with refreshing relief. "Thanks, buddy!"

"I suppose we should ask around any connections you guys may have on this planet, then start looking for shady people hanging out it places you look to train."
