Act 1: Enter, Mage.
Silence held a firm hold upon the surrounding wood, it's reach extending to the furthest depths of the forest confines. It was only in lands such as this, where peace reigned, that Cryo could find solace. Located in its furthest depths remained the mage, resting comfortably amidst the emerald sea. Peace, peace without price, it was almost euphoric to feel this free.
Yet, it seemed the happiness of one such as he was simply not meant to be. For even as he lay there, eyes closed, arms resting tentatively beneath his snowy locks, orders were being sent. Fired, relayed, driven through a digital realm and coming to a crashing halt within' the cybernetic doorways of the Techno Soldiers mind.
CyberDeck - Incoming Message.
:Command central, at once.:
CyberDeck - Gridlock Released
:Plotting route, allocating points of relay.:

Emptiness was all one could find in the ocean of nothingness, The Grid nothing but a source of power and travel, that insofar was capable of being tapped only by Cryo; the innate genetic make-up brought around by the implementation of the CyberDeck upon his body allowing him a sort of, immunity, to the corrosive energies of the digital verse.
CyberDeck - Destination found.
:Prepare for launch.:
Suddenly, Cryo was projected at speeds exceeding his own comprehension; a bullet train of thought that ended in an incalculable space of time. And when he emerged, on the otherside, what Cryo found was not the center of command that had once been - but, the ruins of it.
