Cypress stood in a small alley between the Senate and Council buildings, looking on into the busy streets that hummed with confusion all around her. Surprisingly it seemed that no one took notice of her, which may work to her advantage. Everyone was to busy trying to get where they were going to take notice of a wood nymph and a snail in a back Cybertron alley�

Cypress! Come quick! I have found a source of food�like�material�okay, so it�s decaying, but it can�t be all bad�

She walked back over to the garbage bin she and Illio had earlier been delving through to find a bit of sustenance. She picked up a wrinkled bag with a rotten banana peal and a soggy bagel inside.

Illio shrugged, It�s not quite like home, but it�ll keep ya goin�!
With that and a smile, he took a bite of the banana peel.

I think I�ll let you have that one, Illio, I find I�m not as hungry as I�d first thought�

Some small pebbles fell on Cypress� head as she turned back toward the streets. She looked up quickly to see the sun darkened by the shadow of a large black bat and a ram jumping from one rooftop to another. She hesitated, and then looked over at Illio, who was gorging himself on the putrid peel.

Hmmmm�come on, let�s follow them!
Illio looked up from his meal.
What? Follow who?
Cypress sighed.
�..You didn�t see?!?
�..uh�no.
