A tribute to my buddy, the guy who drew my profile pic and made a cameo in my fanfic. He gets a backstory now!

Chapter 13: Dex
ONE WEEK BEFORE THE ASTEROID

The hot desert wind whipped sand in Dex's face as he trudged through the dunes. He had been wandering the desert for days, looking for something GuildCorp described as a "Sand Tower." The farther into the desert he got the less likely it was he was going to find it. He was about to collapse from heat exhaustion. In fact, he did; right into a large pillar of sand. the sand blew away to reveal a large, metal tower, which slid down into the ground, carrying Dex's unconsious figure along with it.

The sudden cold of the air-conditioned room shocked Dex awake. He lay in a hallway, just outside the doors to an elevator. A woman's voice could be heard over the intercom.

"Oh, good, he made it. And he's alive... and all his limbs are intact! Congradulations, young man. You are the first to survive the GuildCorp Agent Exam. Report to my office, and i will debrief you." Dex staggered to his feet, and shuffled down the hallway. He walked into a room full of large screens, wach showing views of the desert he had just traveled through. In the middle of the room, a woman sat behind a desk, faing a computer. She turned to look at him. "Welcome, Dex. As of today, you are now a GuildCorp Agent. Before I brief you on your first mission, I must present you with your equipment. She pressed a button on her desk, and a panel flipped over to reveal a set of equipment. There was a compact-looking Light Bowgun, an old model, but powerful and versatile. Next to several belts of ammo and some flash and smoke grenades was the cornerstone of the set. A full suit of Bnahabra armor.

"Your first mission will be to infiltrate a party thrown by a man named Thaddeus Bane. GuildCorp suspects him of crimes against society, such as drug dealing and extortion. Infiltrate The party and find incriminating evidence as to wether these claims are founded." Dex smiled and picked up the Bnahabra hat.

"Lady, I don't know who you are, but..." He put the hat on.

"I like your style."
