Everybody seems to wake up at the same time, even 13. Its an odd sensation for her, and she can easily tell something happened to her to make this possible. As people gather their senses, they see they are on a beach. 25 miles away or so is the city of Detroit, and the group seems to be somewhere on Lake St Clair. Schism has his normal headache whenever he moves to or from the HQ.

What is noticed is a small pack between the group of them, with a large note pinned to it saying 'READ ME.'

Assuming someone does, it says the following:

'Greeting Team Starmind. The address of Blue Crossfire's last known position is here.' There is an address, Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, also known as the tallest building in Detroit. 'It is believed he stayed to the rooftops to avoid the infected roaming the streets. Given his last radio broadcast, he would have used the roof for maximum coverage as well as safety. Among some food, water, and sleeping bags-you also have a single use broadcast beacon. This should only be used in case of emergency, and it will burn itself out after use. Do not waste it. Burn this note after reading.

Good hunting, and good luck.'

13 waking up stretches and enjoys the odd sensation.  So much so that she does not see the note and only looks around to see what all is there.  "That was so cool.  It was similar to when they woke us up out of the pods."  she smiles at that.

"How did everyone else enjoy their sleep?"

 Sam wakes up and she stands up, her hair wide awake. " I slept great, ok so what do we have here a note." Sam waits for the others to awake before she reads the note, she grabs it with her hair.

Awakening with the unfortunately familiar sense of sand beneath his back and an ice-pick worming it's way through his eye socket, Schism allowed himself a moment to wallow as his beleaguered brain reminded him of just how it had been violated.  The sound of his teammates stirring eventually pushed him to do the same, but his method of rolling onto his front and slowly shambling upright lacked both Star Hair's sinuous grace and Thirteen's boundless verve.  Managing only a rather strained and noncommittal "Mmph" in answer to the latter's question, he focused on keeping his feet as he brushed sand from his jacket.  'Nothing like some else's morning cheer to make you feel old.'  Matthias mused, letting each of the others have a chance to look over the note before taking his own turn perusing their final instructions.

Despite the headache continuing to drill its way through his cranium Matthias couldn't quite suppress the fleeting grin that the idea of Crossfire hurtling across the rooftops brought out.  Even if it had ended as poorly as their intel might indicate, at least his former companion had stayed true to form.  'You must have been having a ball...'  He thought, memories of a hundred glimpses of a cocky grin framed by cobalt blue swimming to the fore before he pushed them aside.

Balancing the page across his palm, Schism's eyes narrowed briefly as the almost imperceptible psychic droning that always accompanied his presence picked up, intensifying until the air around him began to shimmer under the weight of his thoughts.  The note fared little better, twisting and shaking as it was caught in his field, distorting farther and farther until finally, it crumbled away.  Flicking his fingers to banish the lingering bits that were caught in his aura, Schism let his shield fade until only the barest hint of distortion could be seen around him and the drone of his signal faded to a hum.  "Well, at least we won't get lost on the way."  He offered, lifting a hand to shield his eyes as he looked toward the distant point of the central column of the RenCen.  "How do your portals work Thirteen?  Any complications or limits we need to worry about?"

"Oh right my portals.  I can do about fifty kilometers with the restriction it has to land on something solid and they can not penetrate the Haze if I recall it correctly."  13 says.  "I can also do a short range portal if needed.  It can go about seventy-five meters as well." 13 adds.
