Into the South African lab

Karlos: ((*Snogs*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna politely asks if someone would PLEEEEEASE explain what the hell we're doing?

Xu Xian: Reyna finds Xu to be in a highly snarfy and hypercritical mood, and he doesn't answer that question, pretty much leaving it to Reyna's sentaimates to fill her in.

Xu Xian: Xu also seems to have inexplicably decided to ignore Merlin.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Oh. And so does Ravyn.))

Angelia Caponelli: Ang pretty much outlines that part of the plan, which is as much as she knows thus far. She has questions for Xu about what kind or resistance they're to expect... similier to the Doc's lab? And if their objective is to shut down the place and get the info or just to get the info (she leans to the former but if the odds are too over welming)

Angelia Caponelli: And she'll feed and cuddle Merlin.

Karlos: ~FS~ "As Xu has partaken of the vitae of Set himself, and it has carried forward from the Legendary Realm and is still within him, he is being led to follow his darker urges, and I cannot say how long he will be able to resist them. I am therefore going to edit his recollection slightly to ensure that we have some key advantages. Name me something you can do that you wish him to forget."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Okay, cool." She nods. "And what is this lab, why are we shutting it down, et cetera, et cetera? Someone wanna clue a coyote into exactly what's going on?"

Angelia Caponelli: "This is where he was for those 9 months he can't remember. We're trying to get the info on project Crysilis and find out if any of his samples were used to create off spring during this period of time."

Karlos: "Ideally I'd like us to steal any data they have, and sift through it later."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Nine months that he can't remember?" Maybe this is where it becomes obvious that certain aspects of what's going on haven't ever been explained to Reyna. By anyone at all. ((Unless I've forgotten, only Dream has ever been in formed on my end.))

Angelia Caponelli: She nods. "We may have to access it there. I'll try and dedicate my or lap top in another form so we can up load to it."

Okami Yuki: ((mani?))

Angelia Caponelli: (no I'm pretty sure Reyna was shown that report)

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I'm not sure what would be advantagious of my skills to make him forget.

Okami Yuki: ((has no clue what is going on and is cousin birthday so she might have to puff in one hour and a half maybe two hours.. though that is not new news =) ))

Karlos: ((Well since we only started at the above line with Reyna asking to be filled in, you can read forward from there and glean everything))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Not that I recall, Ang. She's only seen the report that they FIRST got from Schondorf's lab, when Ang, Xu, and Reyna were there. Not what Ang and Lex got off the boat. Although if it can be assumed she was told, I'll go with that. I've been playing the coytoe pretty clueless all the way up to here, though.))

Angelia Caponelli: (Thats the only one we've been able to get access too is that intial report. Everything else we're trying to get into today)

Okami Yuki: ((things are getting shitty here in my house.. I might HAVE to leave.... being yelled at))

Karlos: ((Well since you know the contents of the report, assume Karlos or Ang fills her in right now))

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods*) Ang also passes around a copy of the access codes for the lab and has everyone memorize them.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((All right.)) She raises her eyebrow as she gets filled in, nodding a little bit. "A'ight. Um...okay, then. So, we're going to the lab. Fun."

Okami Yuki: ((what report? *shakes head* sorry.... I'm trying to focuse but if I can't I'll just let know.. ok?))

Angelia Caponelli: (http://www.wodnyc.net/arch2005/subjectsa65-003.htm)

Xu Xian: ((So Okami stays with Merlin and Nabiki at the airport or the hotel, helping organize getaway stuff. *G*))

Xu Xian: ((So, is Xu present during this part, or are you guys consulting with each other while he's down at the hotel bar or...?))

Angelia Caponelli: (there we go You can go deal with your RL stuff Okami : ) )

Angelia Caponelli: I think he's present, we'll just used FS to talk about the things he doesn't need to hear?

Jason: ((is present))

Okami Yuki: ((thanks.. I just REALLY don't wnat to deal with this .... because I am just going to be yelled at more *snugzes*))

Angelia Caponelli: (*snugs the dirge*)

Karlos: ((*hugs okami*))

Jason: ((So is the plan remaining the same? Go in as captives?))

Angelia Caponelli: (Yup I believe that's the plan)

Xu Xian: (We haven't gotten that far we've spent the last 10 minutes dealing with okami's inability to be here for the scene)

Okami Yuki: ((sorry.. I'll just go now. ))

Angelia Caponelli: "Alright, so Xu. Are we going to be subdued? Resistant? Already broken? What's going to work best with these people?"

Karlos: Ok. Plan is this: Xu, being all ghouled and tainty, is going to take the Sentai in as prisoners. From there, they have to get to the data storage somehow. They will be unable to count on Xu to help them once they are inside. Karlos wishes to place the priority on getting the information, THEN rescuing Xu.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang's not too keen on putting the info gathering before Xu's life. Naturally.

Xu Xian: Xu says that he knows the floorplan if the intake and processing parts of the lab ~only~ and has no recollection of the research areas or where the specimens might be held. He can give a rough idea of the personell to expect, but since Project Goliath has collapsed, he's not sure if the captive angle will work...but that they might take advantage of him being in a "Flashback" and intake them anyway.

Karlos: Xu is risking his life and soul to give them the chance to GET this information. Karlos will not see Xu's sacrifice wasted.

Xu Xian: Xu also stresses that it's been 10 years or so since he's delivered captives to this location, so the floorplan and personnel might be different.

Angelia Caponelli: Totally. Just Ang doesn't like the plan at all. Despite it's nessesity.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna listens to all this quietly, looking from person to person.

Karlos -> Xu Xian: Spending a WP

Karlos -> Xu Xian: 1,6,8,8,5,6,7,

Karlos: ~FS~ "All right, everyone. From this point on, make NO verbal reference at all to my ability to become butterflies."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Got it. All butterfly jokes have been stricken from my playbook."

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Alright Karlos.

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((all sounds good so far- as to the actual mechanism by which they intend to get in? Xu remembers something about loading trucks.. heat signature cameras.. something like that. Having to stop and be identified. An odd thing from his point of view- he remembers well dressed "employees" of the ministry of agriculture, even tourists or journalists walking in the front doors, the front of the building less hardened to keep with the innocuous front of the place. But the rigamarole he had to go through to get inside from the other end- where they knew to ~expect~ shifters.. ironclad, from his recollection.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Mayhap my high-invulnerability to Silver might be stricken? That could come in handy...and the guns dedded to my bod."

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Yes you might wish to make him forget my guns as well.

Xu Xian: "Karlos, you need to requisition a van from HQ. They will only accept deliveries at this loading gate from De Witt owned vehicles."

Karlos: ~FS~ "I had a one-shot opportunity, people. I can't risk him noticing me inside your head. This is why I asked you half an hour ago if there was anything you wanted him to forget!"

Karlos: ((inside HIS head))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I just thought of it now. But we're fine. If anything goes truely amiss you have a trick up your sleeve.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit and gets up. "Anything we should get set up on this end Xu?"

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I don't supose you could program him with a command word to pull him out of a flash back and into the present or something?

Xu Xian: "No."

Karlos: He nods. "I'll get the van." He moves to the phone, carrying it through into another room to make the call.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Sorry. We suddenly went into OOC stuff at that point, which is I think why we got stalled out on that.))

Karlos: ~FS~ "I can't. Not really. That would take a hell of a while to set up. Ask him if he minds me trying. If he doesn't object, I can set up your stuff at the same time."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leans back, taking the plan in and relaxing for the moment. A bit of calm before the storm.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((They also actually a blood test as part of the ID screening to check for vitae and to match DNA to the persons bringing in captures, as often they are disgused in some way, or could be wearing other 'skins' (those fetishes))

Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit and straightens, "Xu? I just had a thought. Would you mind if Karlos set up a fail safe for us with you. A string of words that might be used to pull you out of a flash back?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks from Angelia to Xu, nodding. "Might not be too bad of an idea, Babe."

Xu Xian: He just gives Ang a ~look~ that could strip paint off a battleship. "I don't want anyone inside my head."

Karlos: He hangs up and returns to the lounge. "Van's on the way."

Angelia Caponelli: She sort of looks to the side and even takes a half step back. "It could save all of our lives Xu. Just a few words. Please?"

Jason -> Xu Xian: ah- nice. behind the Min of Ag building, Xu also remembers a broad plain cleared like a kill zone, security fences, barbed wire.. of course this was all long before the end of aparteid.. any areal photos now show a concrete wall, apparently to buffer the sound from the highway, a highway looping around behind the building, and a long exit leading up to a single gate in the wall

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((He didn't take aerial photos this time around. *G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A canted eyebrow at this. Her eyes go from Xu to Angelia, then back.

Xu Xian: He nods to Karlos. "Well, I suggest that we get into the van when it arrives and then I bind you all with zipties and we have the driver take us to Pretoria. Any further conversation can happen during the 40 minute drive."

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((one last thing. DeWitt is cleaned up in Pretoria, right? For instance, no current De Witt employees overtly serve the Wyrm?))

Karlos: He nods. "Sounds good."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oooh, bound in zipties. That takes me back to Topeka a few years ago." A grin.

Jason: *The van, when it arrives is typically De Witt. Top of the line, one could suspect even slightly armored.. a strange lingering hint of old aparteid worries.*

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles weakly to Reyna and goes to get her sweater on before heading to the door. ~fs~ I supose that's a no.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Duster goes on, and she's up and moving.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((The major labs and evildoers in places (but not Chrysalis as very few were aware of it) where shifters could strike have been neutralized or dismantled about 2-3 years ago but that doesn't mean the survivors haven't been rebuilding. So the mines and the De witt HQ and labs that have doubled as Pits and hives and ritual places have beenhit pretty hard)

Karlos: He offers Xu his wrists, preparing himself for incoming searing pain.

Xu Xian: He moves down to the lobby with them, and climbes into the cargo area of the van with them after telling the driver where to go.

Karlos: Once in the van, of course. I jumped the gun.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She hops into the van, then places her hands behind her back. "Ready when thou art, Babe."

Jason: *For a moment the driver looks quizzical- but a glance at the grim faced Xu- and perhaps a bit of forewarning who Karlos is, and apparently the lot of them can ride however they please with nary a batted eyelash. He is quite polite, turning on the smiles for all as he nods, and proceeds into thinner traffic that that which will greet them later.*

Karlos: ~FS~ "It's best, with a De Witt driver, if Xu subdues us by force."

Xu Xian: Once in the back with them, he zip ties them all, not really sparing them discomfort.

Angelia Caponelli: She sits down in the back of the van. Her mind sort of wandering away as she waits her turn to be zip tied.

Xu Xian -> Jason: (okay with you when Xu disappeared yesterday morning he picked up one of those rhino tranq pistols from a contact?)

Jason -> Xu Xian: sounds fine to me.

Angelia Caponelli: She pulls against the Zip ties a bit, getting some nice redness and bruising on her wrists to mimic struggle. ~fs~ You think they'll talk to him?

Karlos: ~FS~ "They'll believe him more if the driver can corroborate that he took us after a struggle."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Ow, ow, ow." Said with a three-quarter note of the coyote humor to it. She mimics Angelia's movements, and then moves to sit.

Jason: *The van rumbles around the bound crew of them.. for a while the only sound other than the quiet rhasp of skin against plastic here and there.*

Karlos: He just gives Xu a ~look~ that conveys his belief that there should be a struggle.

Angelia Caponelli: (sorry comp died there briefly)

Xu Xian: He waits until they're all immobolized then pulls out a pistol and shoots Karlos with it.

Xu Xian: 3,6,7,5,2,2,7,

Xu Xian: 3,5,3,6,8,4,7,6,

Xu Xian: (roll soak)

Jason: *The driver gulps.. and reasserts his decision to obey all posted traffic laws.*

Karlos: 4,8,4,

Jason: 10,7,8,5,1,2,

Xu Xian: The dart pierces Karlos' skin and injects everybody's favorite rhino drug cocktail into him.

Xu Xian: 5,7,5,2,5,9,5,5,2,

Xu Xian: (Roll STA KArlos)

Karlos: He says something Spanish, and crumples.

Karlos: 1,6,4,

Angelia Caponelli: Ang opens her mouth, like she might scream but instead snarls something feral sounding (Jam tech.)

Angelia Caponelli: 6,7,

Angelia Caponelli: (Oh that could have been bad. I didn't jam the van though thankfully)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Eyes widen as Adam shoots Karlos. "Uhhh...HUH?"

Xu Xian: Karlos finds his limbs being quite paralyzed but he's fully capable of thought. His speech, however, his very slurred.

Angelia Caponelli: (computers and phones are down though. For the lot of good that does us)

Karlos: "Nnnhhh..."

Xu Xian: He turns to shoot Ang, and finds the gun inoperable. He frowns. Waits for it to unjam. "How do you think I delivered people to them, shit for brains? Christ, you can still communicate via the Snake."

Jason: 2,4,6,10,5,2,

Jason: *there's maaaaybe a slight hitch in the driving... nothing that great- just a horn sounding from outside briefly.*

Angelia Caponelli: (Gun didn't jam. I failed)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Ah, keerap, Rhino Tranq?" She sighs. "I ~HATE~ that shit...ah, well...goodbye, sight..."

Karlos: ~FS, groggy~ "Bane... I think... I think there's... a bane here..."

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Where?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Ummm...that's bad. How long's it been here, do you know?"

Xu Xian: He shoots Ang.

Xu Xian: 9,6,5,4,9,8,4,

Xu Xian: 10,6,5,2,5,4,6,5,

Karlos: ~FS~ "In my head."

Angelia Caponelli: She scuddles away from Xu on her butt, trying to avoid being shot at when she can barely move which is rather comical... or would be in other circomstances. And rather futile.

Xu Xian: (Roll soak)

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Um that's a problem

Angelia Caponelli: 3,10,

Xu Xian: The dart pierces her (Roll STA)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Oh, shit..."

Xu Xian: 4,2,8,6,7,8,1,9,5,

Angelia Caponelli: 9,4,

Karlos: ~FS~ "No shit."

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ From the dart or was it there before?

Karlos: ~FS~ "Could you at least LOOK?"

Angelia Caponelli: 3,4,10,5,

Angelia Caponelli: (that's against the local gauntlet to look across)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "I wish, hon. Not on my list of skills."

Xu Xian: Ang findss herself also paralyzed, with slurry speech.

Xu Xian: He turns the gun on Reyna and does the same thing, shooting her as well.

Xu Xian: 7,8,10,2,3,9,3,

Xu Xian: 7,9,5,5,3,3,6,3,

Xu Xian: (Roll soak)

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ It's gone... it wasn't a bane.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 6,6,8,

Angelia Caponelli: She slumps with a slurred "Mother fucker.."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's a stubborn coyote. Thick skin.

Karlos: "What..." He struggles to get his tongue working enough to help him out here. "Who..."

Jason: *The van rumbles along.. "Pretoria 6km" flashes briefly in one tinted window as they pass a sign*

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ it was something worse... like pure... hate. Gah I hate this fucking shit.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Lovely."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Oh, well, that's just BEAAUUUUTIFUL..."

Jason: *a voice slightly warbly- nerves you see, floats toward the back from the driver's seat in Afrikaans struggling to be pleasant.

Angelia Caponelli: "Oh fugg..." She murmers where she lays.

Xu Xian: Reyna finds the dart doesn't quite pierce her skin, getting caught up in the duster, tho the drug itself discharges agaisnt her clothes and makes a cold spot as her skin starts to absorb it.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Maybe it's his mother.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Oh Jesus..."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Man...I get the slow-acting shit..." She lies there, waiting for the thing to take effect.

Xu Xian: (it'll take about 5 minutes to take effect Reyna, until then you can act normally, afer that you'll start losing coordination in limbs then get paralyzed about 5 minutes later)

Jason -> Xu Xian: ~ak~Sir... you wanted the front door, or the exit from 78? Into the loading bay?

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Should we abort?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "A'ight, folks, time to adapt. Hate's here, possibly mom. Ideas, folks?"

Karlos: He glowers at Xu, leaving him to answer the driver, since he's not really capable of doing so himself.

Xu Xian: Well, if she can still talk...he shoots her again.

Angelia Caponelli: "Xu..." She groans.

Xu Xian: ~afk~ "THe loading bay. Like I told you before." His attitude is one of pure contempt for the driver's incompetence.

Karlos: ~fs~ "No. Can't abort. Have to adapt."

Xu Xian: 10,9,5,2,4,7,9,

Xu Xian: 9,9,7,8,4,8,2,1,

Xu Xian: This time the dart for sure pierces reyna's skin

Jason: *He swallows again, maybe picking up a bit of speed.. a visit from the old bosses.. maybe he could report this and not end up like Hauser..*

Xu Xian: (roll STA)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,2,4,

Xu Xian: 3,3,7,5,9,6,6,9,5,

Xu Xian: And Reyna' gets paralyzed, as well.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Good night, Ireeeeee..." Thud.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ We have to be able to trust him to revive us.

Karlos: ~FS~ "This shit wears off, right?"

Jason: *rumble rumble rumble.. they can feel the van slowing through the floorplate, hear the drone of brakes applied evenly and carefully.*

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ We need the antidote.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Ummm...in the sense of actually stopping effect? No. Hoepfuly, we're gonna be 'doted..."

Angelia Caponelli: "Xu.." She mewls again. Rather pathetically.

Xu Xian: He studies them all, enjoying the expressions on their faces for a long moment.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Come ON, it HAS to wear off at SOME point..."

Jason -> Xu Xian: *A bare bones concrete wall, given only hints of decoration in even, pleasant hues that make out the colors of the South African flag. It rises high enough to serve as a buffer against the sound of traffic- or to contain. The glint of a hot sun only barely hides what must have been the sillouettes of cameras as the van slows toward a stop.*

Karlos: He closes his eyes, resigned.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Yeah. When you die.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Har de har."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "No, it just paralyzes us until our heart stops and we die, basically."

Jason -> Xu Xian: *Something tickles at the edges of Xu's perception... he should know that touch. He should... and it should not be so cold as it ruffles his hair in mocking, slow gentleness.*

Karlos: ~FS~ "I love you guys." He says it cheerily.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((You do realizes that in June it's midwinter in South Africa?))

Xu Xian: 9,5,6,2,6,10,3,

Jason: *From the windows, those on the floor can barely make out a high concrete wall blocking the sun as the van slows to a stop. The squeak of brakes.*

Angelia Caponelli: "Xuuuuu..."

Xu Xian: He snarls as he looks out the back window of the van, waiting for the guards to come open the loading door.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Should we tell him? Or let him... just be evil?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Love you too, Kar."

Xu Xian -> Jason: (That was per+alert, -2 diff due to apt)

Karlos: ~FS~ "We can't interfere in his behaviour from here on in."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Let him be evil at this point, Babe. He brought prisoners in this way. Prisoners don't die."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Well, not until the torture and pain and ow, ow, ow, ow, scream."

Angelia Caponelli: She closes her eyes and sighs effortfully. ~fs~ At some point we have to try and bring him around.

Jason -> Xu Xian: *the feeling fades... the van rumbles through the outer gate- stopping at an interior one. the methodical grit of boots on gravel before the door is swung open- and hard faced professionals peer inside. A man with a scar bisecting what was never a pleasant face anyway steps foreward, but still well out of the other two's firing arcs.*~AK~ Extend your right hand.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Not right now. Have faith, Angel. We will do this, but we have to focus."

Jason: the van rumbles through the outer gate- stopping at an interior one. the methodical grit of boots on gravel before the door is swung open- and hard faced professionals peer inside. A man with a scar bisecting what was never a pleasant face anyway steps foreward, but still well out of the other two's firing arcs.*~AK~ Extend your right hand.

Xu Xian -> ;e: He extends his hand. ~afk~ "Bringing in three. One Garou, one...Nuwisha. And one Kami. The Kami can shift to lion form, and read minds, so watch out.'

Xu Xian: He extends his hand. ~afk~ "Bringing in three. One Garou, one...Nuwisha. And one Kami. The Kami can shift to lion form, and read minds, so watch out."

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I love you both. Here we go.

Karlos: His eyes open sluggishly, swivelling to Xu. What was that word?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Love you both, too. At least this'll be interesting."

Jason: *One eyebrow lifts as he seems to catch a little more respect for Xu- even as the two assault rifles lever just a biiiiit more toward him.* ~ak~ good hunting then... *A small cyllinder is fitted over Xu's index finger as the other hand unstraps what looks like a large pda from the back of his belt- a loud snap drives the needle as far into Xu's finger as it needs to go. He takes it back, and inserts it into the pda.. taking a step back smoothly and watching its face.*

Xu Xian: He shows no response to the pain of the needle. He actually looks slightly bored.

Xu Xian -> Jason: (Does he recognize his mother or does he simply believe it's a random bane?)

Jason: Don't move, by the way... *its almost funny- almost. The two guards seem a bit less amused. The mean eyes slip back as something seems to flash in his face- then flick back to Xu...*~Ak~ now ya get to move. Very slowly.. toward me. *of course, he's taking a couple of steps back too.*

Karlos: ~FS~ "What the hell's a Kami?"

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((He doesn't exactly recognize her. he knows he should recognize it though. What she did was the wraith equivalent of tasting his emotions.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Ummm...Angelia, Babe? Wanna field that one?"

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ You are. Is like a... good fomori. I think.

Xu Xian: He chuckles, seeming amused at the guards wariness. He moves slowly toward them. "They each have probably ten minutes before pulmonary failure, so I'd suggest if you want live specimens, not to delay too long."

Karlos: ~FS~ "I'm posessed?!"

Karlos: His eyes widen in panic.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((Ah, well...he's pretty caught up in reveling in his sadism. Very small emotiona spectrum as he is all business atm))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Don't get too worked up it'll speed the drug's movement to your heart.

Angelia Caponelli: She inhales ragidly, "Xu.. please..." She whimpers.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Hell, it's news to her. She just lies there, waiting to be picked up and carted off, hopefully with antidote administered within the next 10 minutes.

Jason: *He wiggles a finger, one of the guards kicks the back door shut and pounds as the gate slides open.. the van starts to rumble foreward toward the loading bay itself, moving into position. The man's eyes never move from Xu.* Vacation?

Jason: *He speaks briefly into a radio- several technicians don't even wait for the dock hands- they open the roll up door themselves, suddenly as busy as bees inside the van as soon as they can get the door open and start stabilizing the precious cargo.*

Xu Xian: "Who wants a vacation when work is so much fun?" he asks, amused.

Karlos: ~FS~ "I can't be! I would've noticed! Right? I'm me... I'm Karlos, right?"

Karlos: ~af~ "Get... your goddamn hands... off me!"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "You're Karlos, hon. Stop panicking. We'll worry about your Kami-ish status later. Just shhhh. A'ight?"

Jason: *He shrugs slightly, pointing at his face as he moves next to Xu, making as though to follow the van in.* Try grunt work. Don't get ugly. They're all about astetics, these days. Put you on your ass back here in a second if you let'em. *He seems amicable enough, apparently the earpiece giving him all the answer he actually needs, walking next to Xu like a comrade, though the guards walk behind them.*

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ "Can we talk about it later Karlos?"

Xu Xian: (have a visitor assume Xu goes off to fill out papwerwork))

Angelia Caponelli: She has tears in her eyes when some one picks her up. "Xu..."

Angelia Caponelli: (kk)

Jason: *needles jab, the techs talk rapidly back and forth, their eyes glazed as though living creatures were not the subjects of their fascinated hands. The three are loaded onto stretchers and wheeled up a ramp into processing, catwalks obvious above their heads... intercom systems active, the garbled speak only one used to them could really make out.. they each begin to recover to a degree. Monitored and tittered over as they're wheeled across the floor.*

Karlos: ~FS~ "Reyna, this isn't something I can NOT worry about!"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Gecherdamhansofmeh." Slurred words directed to whoever picks her up. "Partidelovnsummbish."

Jason: *a giggle as freakishly large eyes stare into one of Reyna's pupils with a small penlight- oh wait- those are just glasses magnifying that insane light in his eyes. Yep- apparently the antidote is taking effect- Karlos' gurney is thumped through a door with the care of people taking loving care of a box of lettuce. Sterile hallways greet his eyes.*

Angelia Caponelli: She inhales raggidly when she can feel that weight from her chest receeding. She stares at the wall as she's wheeled along, looking for signage.

Jason: Angelia sees ~Afrikaans~ ~Afrikaans~ ~a red cross emblem~ ~a fire extinguisher sign- a hallway where a muted struggle is taking place- a Simba strapped partially to a gurney fighting for her life as needles are jabbed unceasingly into her arm- oops.. a mishap?*

Angelia Caponelli: (Ang can read afrikaans. And speak it. About 75%)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Ummm...we shouldn't be able to see ANYTHING, right? Rhino tranq and all...))

Angelia Caponelli: She shutters, tears leaking out of the corners of her eyes a bit.

Angelia Caponelli: (Oh yes I forgot the light sensitivity)

Karlos: He simply lays there, taking in the route.

Jason: ((getting there.*G*)) *The strange and macabe plays out quietly around them as they are each wheeled into seperate holding cells- and their vision eventually blurs to what hurts and what hurts less, even colors no longer able to give any real insights. Doors slam, lights blink on, and they are each alone with only echoes of intercom static and screams or pleas from a distance.*

Xu Xian: ((back, sorry mo-in-law had to drop off lots of frozen meat for no fathmoable reason other than she's a mother.))

Angelia Caponelli: She shudders and starts to try fumbling with the zip ties and wiggling off her streacher.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She just lies there, waiting. No point in struggling now. Save the strength.

Karlos: ((Mothers do that. It's a universal constant))

Jason: ((Edit)) *They are each dumped unceremoniously from the stretchers- only their heads cradled to avoid impact. Angelia recieves a pat on the head and hears something about her hair being perfect for Mickaelson's auntie... then doors slam.*

Xu Xian: So he's wherever he's supposed to be, doing whatever he's supposed to be doing.

Angelia Caponelli: "Fuck you bitch." She yells after who ever pats her head.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ You two okay?

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((after paperwork- since they've been looking for Trev, would they let him walk around to keep him at ease? Or try to process him in? They're short staffed, they likely don't have the manpower to contain someone like him, though they could likely call on some. I'd think the bosses would want him around until they return to work monday.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Hey, at least there's less of it to lose now, Babe." She's trying to keep them upbeat. "A month earlier, and Mickaelson's autie would have had a smorgasboard of follicles."

Angelia Caponelli: Then when the door closes she tries to get to her feet and feel herself around the cell she's in.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Yeah, what's with the haircut, anyway? You looked good with it long..."

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I donated it to kids with cancer who need wigs.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((Well, it depends on whether or not they buy him being in flash back....it would not be unheard of for Roosthorn to have resurfaced...if he escaped from Erebus he might have regained control of Trev...using him to test the waters to see if the lab is still safe for Roosthorn to make a comeback. Trev is acting as if he's totally unaware that this isn't his job any more, so he'd notice changes in procedure.))

Jason: *The joke of Ang's rhetort is apparently shared as the six attendants return to the hallway.. receeding laughter.. there were few turns in the short trip from van to holding cells- likely, the three of them could easily assume they are in a like pair of short side hallways to the one they ~suspect~ they saw the struggle in before.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Which is another reason why you rock, Angelia." She gets to her feet as well, steadying herself with effort. ~FS~ "Have I ever mentioned that I hate this shit. I mean, rhino tranq, c'mon...do I ~LOOK~ like a Rhino? I know I've been retaining a little lately, but Jeez..."

Karlos: ~FS~ "My eyeballs are going funny. Anyone else got that?"

Jason -> Xu Xian: *The lead guard continues to engage Trevor in minor chit- chat, asking few questions he already knows Trevor wouldn't answer- doesn't even refer to him by a name.. it seems he knows exactly what was on the pda, and asks if Trev will be staying in the guard barracks. They're in the first side door, marked Containment Control.*

Angelia Caponelli: She paces the length of the cell, trying to figure out how big it is. ~fs~ Yeah light sensitivity is part of the antidote's effect.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Blindness. It happens with this shit."

Karlos: ~FS~ "Okay. I spy with my little eye, something beginning with... D."

Jason: *Each of the cells are bare.. concrete floor, concrete walls, cameras recessed from two different angles in each. There isn't even a toilet.. it doesn't seem they are meant to stay here for very long. What is apparently a feeding or collection slot is in the exact center of the door- and the cells do not seem airtight.*

Xu Xian -> Jason: "Actually, I rather enjoy watching the prisoners being processed. IT's one of the perks." His sadistic grin says it all.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Darkness?" She grins as she feels around. ~FS~ "Crap. Shoulda pissed before I got in the van. So, what's next in the plan?"

Angelia Caponelli: She feels around the door as best she can with her hands bound up behind her back, ~fs~ Dead?

Karlos: ~FS~ "Nope. Reyna got it..."

Jason: *Even merely standing at full height seems impossible.. perhaps 5x5x5, a cube meant to keep them at the best possible disadvantage. And the lights are quite bright, also recessed.*

Karlos: He slowly gets onto his hands and knees, squinting around the cell.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "I'm good at this game."

Karlos: ~FS~ "Curse you. Your turn."

Jason: ((If that said lights flick off, I'm sorry. Should be flicker ~on~))

Angelia Caponelli: Ang can /almost/ stand if she just bows her head forwards a bit. "XU YOU SON OF A BITCH!" She yells at the top of her lungs. After all she was just betrayed by her own lover. Before she slumps back in the furthest corner from the door on her knees.

Jason -> Xu Xian: *The grin is returned- or half of it anyway- without turning around the man flicks a switch in the control room- the bank of monitors behind him flicker to life.* Then you're in luck. Remember what you're doing? *He gestures to the controls, moving to the other side of the room as he kicks a chair out for Trevor.* Have a seat. Coffee?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "I spy with my little eye...something beginning with...D? And more on that plan bit, when we get a chance?"

Karlos: ((Doh. Consider it time-lagged I Spy then *G*))

Karlos: ~FS~ "Fuck. Lights!"

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Just close your eyes and put your head forwards.

Karlos: ~FS~ "It's not a nosebleed, Angel..." There's a gentle chuckle in his tone.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I assume they're going to either take us for questioning or move us to a more perminent cell. I need my hands free. I can't do this without sight or hands.

Xu Xian -> Jason: He sniffs, looking over the monitors. "I'd rather be there in the room. It's so much more...satisfying when you can smell their fear, hear all the range of their screams without the electronics muting them."

Jason: ((Unless there's anything else you'd like to do, about twenty minutes will pass.)) *The doors do not seem sealed- the weather stripping around the bottom and sides seems pitted and lose. Trevor is treated to a nice color wide angle view of each cell- most of the rest empty but for one Simba- in the Leoine form- battered and torn- and waiting in stoic defiance for some goon to open that door again, belly warmed by a pool of blood from its own wounds- but it looks like a throne under the regal creature.*

Karlos: ~FS~ "I have a flap." He chukles. "Looks like a letterbox. Do you think we get mail?"

Karlos: ((I think it's safe to say they wait, trying to keep their spirits up *G*))

Jason: 4,8,3,5,3,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Light sucks."

Angelia Caponelli: Ang spends the time alternating between screaming obsenities in Italian and English and sobbing in the corner. She does look for a rough edge on the door slot to try and cut her zip ties with. ~fs~ For food. Or to stick a prisoner's hands through to bind them before taking them out. Like in prison.

Karlos: He touches a recessed light thoughtfully.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "I vote myself NOT prison bitch..."

Jason -> Xu Xian: *The guard's eyes narrow in faint suspicion as he watches Xu.. but eventually nods slightly. Someone wants to talk to him.. and the deeper in the facility he is, the easier it will be to keep him if he wants to get unruly. He opens the door silently.* Sure thing.

Karlos: ~FS~ "I guess it's my turn to take it up the ass for the team. Again."

Karlos: He leans against the wall of his cell, resting his head against the cold concrete, gaze losing focus.

Xu Xian: He grins, but his eyes are cold, a bright anticipation gleaming in his sadistic glance. He heads down to the actual processing room, where the techs are preparing to implant the captures.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ "I'll be the bitch. I find it oddly comforting."

Karlos: ~FS, quietly~ "I hate being locked up."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Oh, shit, I forgot...your turn was LAST time, wasn't it, Kar? Well, it would normally be Ingvar's turn now...all right, all right, I'll do it."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Or Angelia." A pause. "Not a fan of it either, Karlos. We'll be out soon enough, hon."

Jason: *The sounds of faint clicking, bootheels from down the hall, followed by a small swarm of others. A tall egyptian man with hair slightly long and straight, coffee colored skin, and eyes that seem rarely to move passes into the office past Xu and the guard.. ignoring both as he moves to the intercom switch. A voice that could melt a person like butter or switch them into silence trickles into the cells.* Prisoners.. the slots in the doors of your cells will open shortly. You will extend your right arm through it- and hold...still.. *A faint threat- but convincing.*

Karlos: He grits his teeth. "You'll be lucky."

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((does he recognize him? If not, int+wyrm lore to ID him?))

Xu Xian: 3,2,9,8,3,8,8,

Jason: ((~why~ is he obviously egyptian? Because it seems I lost the description, so its written on his forehead. I'm very sorry.*L*))

Angelia Caponelli: "My hands are still tied behind my back." She growls at the intercom. "So I'm afraid I can't help you." (Unless I totally missed us being cut free)

Karlos: ((*LOL*))

Xu Xian: (DLP about leaving the control room he'd stay after the man came in))

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((Kephram Sepstis. Rank 3 Silent Strider Theurge. Eaters of the Dead camp. Obviously, a closet BSD))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Karlos. You could butterfly as soon as the slot's opened or should we wait for what ever they're gonna do.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She says nothing, instead just glaring at the door in her slight stoop, waiting for it to open.

Karlos: ~FS~ "If they close the slot while I'm halfway through I will be unable to reform."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She says nothing, instead just glaring at the door in her slight stoop, waiting for it to open.

Karlos: ~FS~ "If they close the slot while I'm halfway through I will be unable to reform."

Xu Xian: He stares at the Egyption man for a long moment, almost hungrily, as if debating whether or not to eat his liver on a stick.

Jason: ((Incidently, both arms will fit through the slot- as often, for instance in the case of the Simba down the hall, the arm that sticks through isn't necessarily human sized.))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Good point.

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* Ang's just being diffecult and defiant cause generally people who get drugged by their boyfriends and handed off to psycho scientists aren't 'cooperative')

Karlos: He doesn't make the slightest move toward sticking any of his bodyparts out of any holes.

Xu Xian: "So you're in charge here, now?" he asks the man.

Jason: *He rises from the intercom speaker... turning slowly to regard Xu.. and the corners of his mouth tilt up slightly, as though the man were giving him the look of a long lost friend or a particularly gifted lover. The eyes never move from Xu until he's out the door, headed back down the hall from whence he came.*

Angelia Caponelli: ~FS~ What if they cut our arms off with the slot door. I don't wanna put my hand through there at all.

Xu Xian: He follows the man.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Good point...or stick us with Ebola or AIDS or some shit."

Karlos: ~FS~ "I'm slightly more concerned about them sticking implants in us. There's no guarantee Schondorf's the only one, or that he didn't share his technology."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Yeah, that's worse. Well, then no arms. Ebola's nasty, though, I hear."

Jason: ((*L* Why- that bitch!*G*)) *the slots slam open almost simultaneously. A faint whisp of that voice trickles into each.* It is the difference between coming now, and recieving anestesia.. or several moments from now, having none. *The voice is gone- the man never pauses, and no one places any part of their anatomy close to the hole.*

Xu Xian: "Where's Dr. Schondorf?" he asks the man.

Angelia Caponelli: She stays back in her corner and away from the damned slot and just growls. ~ws~ "If we get implanted you're going to have to becareful of me. I'm particularly suseptible to the stuff the Doc had I don't imagine this would be differant."

Angelia Caponelli: (that was fs of course)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "At least one of us should give in, I suppose, otherwise, they might not think Adam did his job right. I'll do it...I haven't had the joy of infection yet." She moves toward the slot.

Jason: *Xu follows him straight down the hall, past another set of swinging doors, then left- the operating theatre being just beyond.. this, is apparently the scrub room, and Khephram gestures to the sink next to the one he choses, the air of a priest joining another in preperation for the sacrament.* By all means.

Angelia Caponelli: She hisses at the door. "Who ever the fuck you are. I'm gonna turn around and put my head in the corner and you can come in here and get me you spineless shit but I'm not putting my arm through your damned door."

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((JOOC, did they frisk Xu, remove his weapons or anything? And were the cages controlld from the main control room or from some other room?))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ If they give you anestisia you'll be out cold though Reyna.

Karlos: He's too distracted to FS right now.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "And if they beat us into comas or unconsciousness, we'll be out cold, too." She gives a long, heavy sigh of despair, and moves to slide her arms through the slot.

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((they would have frisked him, and the slots are controlled from the door itself. The door controled from the control room they were just in.))

Xu Xian: He scrubs.

Karlos: He hisses slightly, gaze still unfocussed.

Xu Xian -> Jason: (Frisked him but did they remove his weapons?))

Jason: *Reyna feels a thick strap and buckle drop over her arm and cinch down- and the thrum of elecricity threatening at contact points against her wrist, though no shock is delivered. Instead, she feels the smooth, cold slice of another needle.*

Angelia Caponelli: It can't be worse then being skinned alive... She tells herself.

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((Yes- he was disarmed- though if he had a cell phone of any sort? He's still got it.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A slight wince at the needle. ~FS~ "See ya on the other side, folks..."

Angelia Caponelli: She just waits in the back of the cell. ~fs~ I love you Reyna.

Angelia Caponelli: She glances across the gauntlet, or tries to to get a feel for how thick it is here and what it's like on the other side.

Jason: *The seemingly serene man suddently starts. Jerking upright and staring into nothing.*

Angelia Caponelli: 2,4,8,4,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Love you too, Angelia. And you, Karlos. And the rest of you out there, wherever ya are."

Karlos: ~FS~ "Reyna. Firesnake's gift."

Jason: *Angelia senses the gauntlet is incredibly thin.. a wafer.. she could press her hand through and be in a place cold and stark.. haunted by memories of slaves and the wraiths they leave in their wake. She knows immediately, and intimately what this place was once used for in the passage of a moment that threatens to show her a thousand images of Will slowly worn to nothing, and knows without fail that masses of twisted, mocking creatures must wait just across to tell her aaaaaaaall about it.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Oh, shit, yeah!" She tries to focus on the mudra to Resist Temptation. ((Someone wanna link me to the page, or gimme the roll? Lost it when I had to FDISK my C Drive this week.))

Karlos: ((Roll GN))

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((Yes he had two phones on him. And a silver flask that's somewhat deformed from being smacked up the side of a Garou's head. *G* Did they take the flask?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 7,2,5,4,6,

Angelia Caponelli: She pulls back from the gauntlet with a whimper. (and resisting temptation too)

Angelia Caponelli: 8,1,5,5,

Angelia Caponelli: (no ti's wits + rituals!)

Angelia Caponelli: (so nix that roll)

Karlos: He curls away from the slot, slipping into the lotus position as best as he can, his bound hands moving slowly to brush over each of his chakras.

Xu Xian: He glances over at Sepstis stiffening like that, raising a brow at him and allowing him to lead the way

Karlos: (Doh! sorry, my bad))

Angelia Caponelli: 3,7,2,1,8,2,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((That was my GN AND Wits+Rituals pool, so s'all good. *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: (all good I just noticed)

Karlos: 6,3,6,

Karlos: ((Yeah, my pools are the same, too. Scary *G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Gaah, no it wasn't. Highly misjudged my Wits.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 6,8,3,

Karlos: ((*lol*))

Karlos: He rests his hands in his lap.

Xu Xian: ((Damn, that's a dull-witted coyote))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Um... if we were thinking that we might use the spirit world as an escape route. We need to think of a better plan.

Karlos: ~FS~ "It wasn't at the top of my list, but thanks for the warning."

Jason: ((Xu- didn't take flask. Could be someone's blood he's supposed to keep himself loyal with for all they know.)) *The sounds of clicking from the corridor as the other two prisoners hesitate- something is banged against the door, and water is shot into the cell through the hole for less than five seconds- only enough to make both individuals more than a little soaked, and to leave a pool on the floor around them that does not seem to leak from the door.* Your second chance, prisoner. Extend your arm.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I dunno WHY I chose Int and Per over Wits...of course, Reyna wasn't supposed to be this witty originally, so...I know where I'M spending my XP next...))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Reyna, how are you feeling? Karlos? You still holding up okay?

Angelia Caponelli: She screechs and shakes her head from where she's curled up in the corner. "Come in here and get me asshole."

Jason: *His gaze passes around once again- before settling on Xu.* Are you going to scrub in?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "My wrist hurts. Needles blow."

Xu Xian: He holds his hands up. "Already done."

Karlos: ((Xu already scrubbed up))

Karlos: ((Xu already scrubbed up))

Jason: *Reyna is swiftly coming to realize that a creeping numbness is about to make her wish she'd used the potty before this little trip- a numbness begins to seep across her skin, invading her muscles.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Oh, and here comes the anesthetic. I'm gonna pee myself. GREAAAAAAAAAT."

Jason: *Khef blinks, shaking his head slightly as he realizes Xu had done so already.* Excuse me.. *A slight nod as he leads him into the operating theater- and in the cells black hoses snake over the lip of the two open slots, touching the pool of water on the floor as Karlos hears the man he'd contacted start to move off down the hall amid noises of concern from his colleagues.*

Jason: 9,7,2,3,

Jason: 3,5,6,3,

Karlos: He lifts himself out of the water, pressing hands and feet against the cell walls, pinning himself in there, gritting his teeth.

Karlos: 5,7,10,

Xu Xian: He examines the operating theatre, reacquainting himself with how the various rooms are situated and where the prisoners will be brought in from.

Xu Xian: 7,2,9,6,7,4,5,

Jason: *A single bright flash fills both cells as an electrical discharge flares across the floor, as far up the walls as moisture has reached from the firehose like gout a moment before.*

Xu Xian: 2,5,10,4,9,4,8,

Xu Xian: 6,

Xu Xian: (First was per+alert -2 diff, second was int+security, specialty buildings, hence the reroll))

Jason: *Xu finds that while times seem to change, equipment has apparently stayed the same- and notes the hallway leading from the theatre to where he ~thinks~ the specimen containers were kept.*

Karlos: ~FS~ "Angel. You okay?"

Angelia Caponelli: Ang controts then collapses, twitching.

Angelia Caponelli: (this enough to KO her or just hurt like a mother?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She slides down to the floor as the anesthetic takes over. ~FS~ "Whoa...fuck acid. This is the good shit."

Karlos: 6,3,6,

Karlos: He remains where he is, closing his eyes against the brightness of the electrical discharge.

Jason: *Reyna eventually cannot hold herself upright- she slumps to the floor- unelectricuted at any rate- one guard for each door going to one knee once the two prisoners are preoccupied- and aiming pistols at whatever of them they are able to see. The electrical discharge seems to do little damage- its intent to stun, rather than bake precious and rare bits from subjects.*

Angelia Caponelli: She just lays there then. Stunned.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((One step ahead of ya, man. *S*))

Jason: *Khephram touches slender fingers to one of the chairs, his eyes resting with calm ease against Xu. The sounds of the discharge a faint and ignored thing.* You had asked me a question...

Xu Xian: He saunters around the operating theatre, looking things over, smiling as he remembers all the good times in this room. "So where's Doctor Schondorf? And when did you get put in charge here?"

Jason: *Shouts and the sounds of panic- the guard about to shoot Karlos only having time for his eyes to go wide before the door knocks him back against the opposite wall. THAT grabs Khephram's attention- his head swiveling toward the sound as though irritated, faintly.. he slips the lab coat from his shoulders.*

Angelia Caponelli: "That's a new kind of pain." She murmers still twitching.

Xu Xian: He follows after Khem, pausing to pick up a scalpel from one of the trays, along with a restraint strap.

Karlos: The butterflies flood out of the room, spreading out along the corridor.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Ang? Kar? S'goin' on?" She's going into spacey-mode.

Jason: *More pairs of boots pound down the hall- but a couple of the techs decide rapidly they don't get paid enough to deal with what happens when one of those doors opens.. hot footing it toward the theatre as the guard shakes his head and springs back to catch whatever comes out of the door with a dart. The other two seem to man the water-and-electric arrangement- looks of almost childlike glee freeze on their faces for a moment.*

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I'm okay Karlos but I don' know if I can move just yet.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Hang in there, both of you." He sounds distracted once more.

Jason: *The guard at Karlos' dorr swivels on one heel- snapping off not one- but two beautiful shots at the other across the hall.*

Jason: 7,8,3,6,5,7,

Jason: 7,10,4,6,2,5,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "I'ma hangin'...jusyou don' do nothin' ta die...c'yote's c'nt raise th' dead..."

Xu Xian: He grins as he sees the glee on the guards faces, then quickly goes into business mode, wondering what in the hell all the butterflies are doing there.

Jason: *Khephram moves toward the hallway- his face a mask- showing little more than irritation- his form boiling into something sleek, brown, and marvelously reminiscent of ancient statues of Anubis himself- though Anubis likely didn't have such profane and blasphemous codices burned into his flesh. He moves in an even graceful lope.*

Angelia Caponelli: Ang struggles to her feet sort of akwardly.

Karlos: ~FS~ "How you doing, Angel?" His voice is terse.

Xu Xian: (which hallway is he moving down?)

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I'm alive. Wet, a little twitchy but standing.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ What's going on?

Karlos: ~fs~ "Get ready to get the hell out of your cell. Go to the Simba and free her. You may have to heal her too."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She lays on the floor, looking around vaguely with her unfocused eyes as she speaks in a very 'out of it' tone. "C'mon, muthafuckas...I'm still here...you can't take me...whup yo' ass with one hand behind my back, n' th' other anes...anesthe...numb."

Jason: *Reyna's abandoned at the mouth of her cell- the door popping open and spilling her into the corridor as techs begin to back- then run toward the sound of approaching guards-*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((How much movement capability does she have, exactly? Any at all?))

Jason: *One of the techs manning the hose equipment grabs for his forehead- too stunned for a moment to move.* ((Khephram moving for this hallway right 'chere.*nods and looses track of notes for a second.* Catching up I swear.))*

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ "Alright." She sits down in the water and starts working her hands under her butt to get them around infront of her so she can move.

Xu Xian: (can we pause for a moment until I have a clear idea of where Khef is? Cause Xu's gonna follow him.))

Angelia Caponelli: (nods)

Karlos: ((I was under the impression Khef was coming down the corridor toward the butterflies?))

Jason: *Every door in the place buzzes open as Khephram begins to pick up speed... a LOT of speed... and from somewhere a triumphant roar blasts through the hallway... ((Everyone, roll your wp- even Karlos, as the effect is also quite happenin for butterflies too.)) The sound even mutes the rapid fire snapping of the hose as one technician, purely out of scientific interest applies the hose to his co worker like some kind of asshole.*

Xu Xian: ((I was under the impression he had left the operating theatre for the cell holding area where the butterflies are, then went Crinos and ran for another hallway.))

Jason: ((pausing- sorry I wasn't clear. Khephram moved toward the disturbance, being back down the hall he and Xu had just passed through- toward the cells.))

Angelia Caponelli: 6,5,8,6,5,

Karlos: 1,7,8,4,8,5,8,2,

Jason: ((When he went Crinos, he continued to run for the same hallway.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 3,8,7,3,2,1,

Xu Xian: (Gonna roll dex+ath to keep with Khef and then will roll WP))

Xu Xian: ((Okay then you posted Khef saw the butterflies, then you posted he turned Crinos and then ran for the hallway. Which made me think he ~left~ the holding area for another hallway, when in fact he has not reached the holding area so Xu hasn't reached it yet, either?))

Xu Xian: 10,3,2,9,1,7,

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((WP with or without Iron will bonus?))

Karlos: ((Hallway = corridor))

Karlos: ((Therefore, no, Khef has not yet reached our cells))

Angelia Caponelli: (so my door's opened?)

Jason: ((Next turn Khef and Xu will reach the holding area- Xu does notice that Khef doesn't seem like the sort to get into a fight though- and it doesn't look like he intends to stop. Its a straight line from the loading bay to the operating theatre... you get the idea. So does Xu.*G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She tries to crawl to her feet, and tries to maneuver to rip the needle out of her arm.

Jason: ((and yes- hallway and corridor are the same. The other hallway, going back into the specimen room is opposite. A nondescript side passage coming off the theatre itself perpendicular to the hallway from loading bay to the operating theatre.))

Jason: ((All cell doors are now opened, yes. making a roll..))

Jason: 3,2,6,6,2,5,9,

Jason: ((Everyone good to go?))

Karlos: ((Yp))

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((Iron Will does apply.))

Angelia Caponelli: Ang scrambles to her feet as soon as she has her arms infront of her again and makes a run for the simba.

Xu Xian: Xu continues after Khef, palming the scalpel in his right hand thend wrapping the restraint strap around that hand, preparing to garrote somebody.

Xu Xian: 10,1,6,6,4,4,8,10,6,4,

Karlos: He continues with the mayhem.

Xu Xian: He continues to wonder where the fuck the butterflies came from.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Needle ripped out, she stumbles back a bit, trying to grab for the wall to steady herself. "Mufuckin' numb-shit..." She goes to stagger her way out the door, as the effect starts to wear off.

Xu Xian: (Sorry, blame the touchpad))

Jason: *The Simba appears in the hallway blocking running technicians from their choicest escape, assisting Karlos by accident in his raising of a general madness, sending the few non- craven technicians into a mad dash to hit the personnel door off the loading bay. Khephram himself continues his lope... apparently intending to make it past the wounded Simba- an event that seems to be quite likely- it stares with the will to kill, the same will seemingly the only thing keeping it upright.*

Karlos: He drops from the ceiling, coalescing, taking form as a lion, standinding in Khef's way.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang nudges technitions out of the way. Trying to get to the lion. "Hey there buddy. Don't bite my head off." ~fs~ Lion's already free.

Xu Xian: He wraps the restraint strap around his other hand and leaps to Khef's back, looping the strap around his throat (or trying to. rolling dex+melee)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Beaut." She moves out of the door, looking around and taking stock of the situation. She seems MUCH better now.

Xu Xian: 7,5,6,5,7,2,

Karlos: He roars, loudly, a rallying sound, triumphant.

Karlos: 7,7,2,1,8,8,5,9,

Angelia Caponelli: She tries to touch the Simba to heal him (need to make a roll?)

Karlos: ((Man+Intimidation there *G*))

Xu Xian: He stays on the guy's back, and crosses the strap over behnd the guy's throat choking him and cutting off blood flow to the brain.

Karlos: ((The Simba is a her))

Angelia Caponelli: (or her)

Karlos: ((The Simba is a her))

Angelia Caponelli: (or her)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Looking around, blinking, she goes into the duster and brings out Harry, moving to shift to Manabozho as she does.

Jason: *The creature seems quite the athlete, dextrous and graceful as it prepares with the steady grace of a dancer to merely leap Karlos- before Xu's weight plunks down on his back.. no time.. no TIME- he must make it over the lion before this one may be delt with- he tries the leap anyway- high enough, he hopes, to slam Trev into the ceiling and scrape him off.*

Xu Xian: (Rolling WP for feat of strength))

Jason: 3,8,6,8,6,5,1,

Xu Xian: 3,4,7,7,9,6,9,6,4,2,

Angelia Caponelli: (I need to roll to touch the lion or is it staying still?)

Xu Xian: (So he has 6 STR for this feat))

Karlos: Well apparently the thing is unimpressed by his ultra-scary roar, so he leaps up to impact with it mid-air.

Karlos: 6,10,5,10,10,5,5,5,

Karlos: Ninja aim projectile Karlos.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 4,2,3,8,

Jason: *Between Xu's weight and Karlos' roar the creature wobbles far too much in the air- coming down hard- and stumbling.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Was Primal-Urge, in case we're not StreamLined Autio-Shift rules & I needed it))

Angelia Caponelli: 9,7,3,8,7,6,

Angelia Caponelli: (to heal the simba presuming she's staying still... that's 5 HL with rage of 6 or lower)

Jason: *Before crashing to one shoulder and thrashing for purchase.* ((I didn't forget ya, Troo.*G*))

Karlos: He sits on the creature's legs, clamping his jaws around one of it's legs. Not biting, just holding it still with all his weight.

Xu Xian: 3,1,3,4,2,9,

Okami Yuki: ((is finaly calmly with a more ... normal day back so just comes a Hugz tightly around, and fades back to lurking land*))

Jason: *The Simba's eyes ~dare~ Angelia to be a tech- or do they ask? One or the other- neither glare being precisely sweet from big kitty. She does remain still though- and the wounds covering her mesh back together smoothly.*

Xu Xian: ((Sorry hunny came home unexpectedly early and i'm now getting jabbered at, will do my best to keep up))

Angelia Caponelli: She strokes the big cat's back lightly for a moment in the middle of the chaos before she pulls them back and fumbles under her shirt for her own dart gun.

Jason: ((Combined strength of everyone holding Khef over 6?))

Karlos: ((Str 6 here))

Karlos: 2,3,3,7,6,8,

Karlos: ((Str roll in case it was needed))

Xu Xian: ((STR6 atm))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She moves to stand next to Angelia, all big and orange-ish and furry, Harry out and ready to roar at anything coming their way.

Jason: *Its not easy- and he's a slippery one- claws sweep with intent but little skill through the air as he tries to get free- the sounds of his struggling and roaring terrible to hear. Nearby a Simba lashes its tail, waiting.*

Karlos: ~FS~ "Someone tranq this guy."

Xu Xian: He continues to choke Khef out.

Karlos: His tail, too, is flicking in annoyance.

Angelia Caponelli: She pulls out the dart gun and takes a moment to take aim so she doesn't get Karlos or Xu (taking a round to reduce the diff), before she shoots.

Angelia Caponelli: 8,1,6,2,1,1,4,

Angelia Caponelli: (OMG)

Jason: *Between the two of them Keeping Khephram pinned seems an ongoing struggle, but not one they are likely to lose provided assistance.*

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Already on it. Will you hold the fucker still?

Jason: ((rolling to see who you hit, Ang))

Karlos: ~FS~ "What does it look like we're doing?!"

Karlos: ((Technically in Revised that's a fail, not a botch))

Jason: ((Xu is 5 or >))

Angelia Caponelli: (noodles. Thankfully)

Jason: ((DLP))

Angelia Caponelli: (though realistically I am shooting into a mess of people)

Karlos: ((Yeah, but I'm just being my usual rules-lawyering self *G*))

Jason: ((*Waves hands* no no! I left realism behind somewhere uh.. *scratches head* back there! So lets just roll with it.*G*))

Angelia Caponelli: She gruns and cocks the gun again.

Karlos: ((Yeah, asap for preference *G* It's 1am and I have work later))

Angelia Caponelli: 2,5,8,3,7,4,4,

Angelia Caponelli: And shoots and this time potentially HITS the target.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's staying alert as she can, looking around. The coyote grin is firmly in place as she does so.

Jason: ((He can't dodge- overpowered. Roll Dam, count both sux as additional dice.))

Angelia Caponelli: (these are our good old friendly neighborhood rhino darts so.)

Angelia Caponelli -> Xu Xian: (sorry singha is it 5 base dam?)

Xu Xian -> Angelia Caponelli: ((5 plus fire arms sux)

Karlos: ~FS~ "Reyna, stop standing there like a statue. Take this guard out before he realises what's going on. I'm not controlling him any more."

Angelia Caponelli: 6,3,10,7,4,6,3,

Angelia Caponelli: (there's dam)

Jason: ((Eventually, he's wheezing.. all that's left of the roar.))

Xu Xian: 2,5,8,6,5,9,7,10,6,

Xu Xian: (To speed things up I just rolled the effect of the drug, Khef rolls STA vs. that and if the drug gets more sux he gets paralyzed.)

Jason: 5,7,9,5,2,8,

Angelia Caponelli: She sees the dart wedged in the thing and turns the gun looking for any more targets.

Xu Xian: Xu continues to choke Khef until he feels him collapse.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: That's all she needs. Harry aims and fires.

Jason: *Khef goes down- and the other guard seems to have figured out what's going on- which is why he's not retaining the gun, one would think. His eyes dart in fear toward Reyna.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 9,2,1,2,5,7,2,2,6,9,

Angelia Caponelli: She steps away from the lion slowly, ~fs~ Karlos you so rule.

Karlos: He chuffs, slowly releasing the leg.

Karlos: ~FS~ "You bet your sweet ass I do."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 4,8,10,6,4,8,3,

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over Xu, "You okay?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((First was hit, second damage, obviously.))

Jason: *Parts of the guard fleck the wall as the rest of him slumps to the ground mid dodge.*

Xu Xian: AS soon as Khef's immobolized he drags him back to the operating theatre and throws him onto the chair, finding the drugs to force him into Crinos and then keep him from regenerating him.

Karlos: He rises from Khef's legs and pads toward the Simba, chuffing at her, whiskers twitching. ~Kheuar~ "Are you well enough to move?"

Angelia Caponelli: She watches Xu go and trails after him slowly.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Reyna, Angelia: Search the complex. Clean up. Don't let anyone escape."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles at the guard. "And that's called kickin' your ass." She looks back and watches Xu drag Khef off, back over to Karlos, and then walks along behind Angelia, patting the man-woman-butterfly-lion's flank as she walks by.

Jason: *The regal head tilts toward Karlos, tilting to the side slightly.* ~Kheuar~ Make them give him to me when he has told you what you need. I can move.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "On it." She takes her first right and starts moving along, in sweep mode.

Jason: *The top of her head butts under Karlos' chin slightly.*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Karlos and with a glance after Xu she moves to follow Reyna, having enough darts to down several guards and bullets in her pistol if those run out.

Karlos: He responds with grunts, chuffs, bark-like sounds. She may be Trueborn, but he is male. ~Kh~ "He may not survive the interrogation. Do you have a Pride?"

Xu Xian: He administers the tranq antidote after Khef is strapped in, then administers the other drugs and looks for the skinning blades.

Jason: *She continues to rub her face and head under Karlos' chin.. obviously skilled with convincing big strong males to make nice with her small demands..* ~Kh~ North, but not that far..

Angelia Caponelli: (you want any rolls to sweep the place?)

Xu Xian: "I know you're conscious, Mr. Sepstis," he says pleasantly. "And I know you know how much I enjoy this...so I'd advise you to tell me who all is on duty right now and what specimens you currently have in the research facility."

Karlos: He chuckles, purring deeply, rubbing his cheek along hers and flitting out his tongue to lick her ear. "Then we shall return you to them once we are done here." He begins the slow shift back to homid.

Jason: ((Percep+Sec, Int+sec))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 2,2,7,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 5,8,2,3,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Both were diff 8. Damn lack of Security on the Shifter sheet.))

Xu Xian: 5,9,4,9,7,8,10,2,

Xu Xian: 6,

Angelia Caponelli: 6,5,9,4,

Angelia Caponelli: 3,1,6,5,

Xu Xian: ((That was dex+torture, specialties psychological, undetectable))

Angelia Caponelli: (has security thankfully)

Jason: ((Questioning him here may be a bad idea- but the facility itself seemed to rely more on the immediate confines of the growing city for its security, and on its seeminly mild appearance more and more over the years.))

Xu Xian: Not hearling a response he proceeds to skin mr. Sepstis, pausing to administer the proper drugs in stages so as to get a full Crinos pelt off of him while allowing the little bit of regeneration needed to keep him from dying from lack of skin.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Update?"

Karlos: He rises to his feet, offering the lioness his hand.

Angelia Caponelli: While she's sweeping she keeps an eye out for computer terminals and research areas.

Xu Xian: ((He is not in a state of mind to keep his sadistic urges under control so therefore would proceed to torture the guy unmercifully in order to find out what they need to know re: how to access information and what to do about other personnel which might arrive or need to be secured or neutralized))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "So far, nothing, hon." She continues on, looking around.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ So far so good.

Jason: *Khephram seems a subject difficult to crack- its done, and swiftly. But he seems to have an intimate understanding of torture and its resistance. He informs Xu that there are a total of 9 that were on duty- the four guards and five techs, aside from himself. Specimens he says he doesn't remember all of them- evoking more honesty seems to indicate its the truth.*

Xu Xian: He smiles, nodding and moving over to properly prepare the skin for storage, keeping Khef restrained on the Crinos restraining chair.

Xu Xian: He then asks for the passwords, and passcodes into the research areas.

Jason: *The lioness proceeds to toss Karlos a coy look and trot down the hallway toward the operating theatre.. as to why she didn't shift.. well, she offers no explanation herself in any case. Sepstis seems to have an idea that a first team recieves a phone call every four hours to let them know the facility is still secure- but he doesn't know the number.))

Karlos: ~FS~ "Okay. Angelia, may well need you for computery... things shortly." He follows the lioness toward the theater.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((can Xu roll to recall the number and the all clear codes?))

Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit. ~fs~ Just let me know where and when.

Xu Xian: 8,4,2,

Xu Xian -> Jason: (that's intelligence, and he has eidetic memory)

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((The place seems mainly a holding tank for specimens- likely which were to proceed to the doc in NY. However, there is still the adjacent hallway...))

Jason: ((The place seems mainly a holding tank for specimens- likely which were to proceed to the doc in NY. However, there is still the adjacent hallway...))

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((He remembers what they were- and Ang likely has anything on her pda that he doesn't remember.))

Karlos: ((I figured the girls were doing a sweep of the entire complex, and should therefore, at some point, reach that ajacent hallway))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She won't be needed, so continue to search she does.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((he also helped design the security protocols so can I roll int+security to see what the would have changed to (you know they have manuals for this sort of thing) as the protocols cycle through various code changes?))

Angelia Caponelli: (well we're sweeping the whole building Jason so I assume we get down there too)

Xu Xian: 7,10,8,3,3,8,2,

Xu Xian: If a call is due, he makes it.

Jason: ((sorry folks.*L* Yes ya do- its primarily records. Logs in and out for people coming and going, for different specimens and the numbers to track them. There's also a computer terminal, a switchboard for communications))

Xu Xian: He's busily engaged in torturing Khef, knowing the man hasn't cracked and frankly welcoming the challenge.

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((Oh yeah- Xu sees that little has changed since his takeover of the lab in NY.))

Karlos: He follows the lioness into the theater, and looks around slowly, letting Xu work in peace.

Angelia Caponelli: And takes all the records they have on paper so they can look at them later. Then she sits down at the terminal and starts rooting around.

Xu Xian: 5,

Xu Xian: 6,9,1,3,8,4,6,

Jason: ((Down the same hall is the specimen freezer itself. Its a nightmare- body parts, at times entire cadavers frozen in mid change, or completed. Some in tanks, others hung in neat rows inside walk in coolers.))

Xu Xian: "Tell me about project Chrysalis," he asks Khef plesantly.

Angelia Caponelli: 5,2,7,2,4,

Angelia Caponelli: (that's int + comps)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She helps Angelia gather the hardcopies, and then starts poking around in a non-computer capacity.

Xu Xian: 9,7,9,8,1,2,4,5,

Karlos: ~FS~ "Okay. What're we overlooking?"

Xu Xian: So not so successful on this torture roll, but...maybe he just wants to prolong the pleasure.

Jason: *Anything in hard copy seems to consist of entry and exit logs, or to be there only before being transferred into the computer. ((Do your computery rolls for me Ang.*G*))

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Besides that all the info we have on this place is 10 years old?

Angelia Caponelli: (Another comp + Int, spending wp this time)

Angelia Caponelli: 2,7,8,2,2,

Jason: ((and of course, you already have.*L* Alright- here you go.*G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "There's gotta be something. Somewhere we haven't found yet, maybe?"

Karlos: ~FS~ "Be productive," he says dryly.

Karlos: ((YOu are shitting me. Our Glasswalker has Int+Comp of 5?!))

Karlos: ((I'm gonna cry *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: (Sorry I thought you wanted me to do it again :P)

Karlos: ~FS~ "What about that presence on the way here?"

Angelia Caponelli: (I'm learning Comp 3 right now from the Doc)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "The spirits. Ang, what's on the other side again?"

Angelia Caponelli: So she's doing a seach for Trev's subject designantion and looking for any info on him and any specimins from him.

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Angery angery angery spirits.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Can we deal with them? Should we deal with them?"

Xu Xian: He just keeps at the torturing, happily, varying techniques like a kid in a toy store.

Jason: *The archives here are massive. The hold more comprehensive information regarding the experiments the Doc only needed the later stages of in NY. Most of it is actually fairly old as the center of the Doc's R&D moved with him. But Ang can find Trevor Dunne's file, and references to which experiments exactly were performed on him. Also of note, an entire section of the archives named "Project Projections" Updated at least monthly.*

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ I don't know how to deal with anything that twisted. They make the Concerto, pre clean up, look friendly.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Angry angry spirits, hungry hungry hippos. Any chance we have to get across and through them to get what we need?"

Xu Xian: 3,4,4,5,7,5,2,2,

Jason: *Eventually, Sepstis devolves into incoherent babbling, screaming, crying.. finally silence only later.*

Angelia Caponelli: (is this info on the computer's own harddrive?) She keeps searching for specifically that period in 1990 and for any files on specimins resulting from samples taken from him. ~fs~ Alright I got his file here.

Xu Xian: Ah, losing focus a bit...he pauses to light a cigarette--Marlboros--and take a swig from his flask.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She moves back to the computer from her poking about, looking a little queasy from all the specimens. She looks over Angelia's shoulder, finally shifting back down to Homid. ~FS~ "What do we got?"

Karlos: ~FS~ "Remember: We don't just want Xu's file. We want everything."

Jason: ((Well.. I'll tell you what. Your humble ST's computer skills rate about as high as apes staring at the monolith in 2010. So given that every piece of information ever gleaned from the project that the Doc's subordinates would have had continuing work on is stored here, What would be appropriate?))

Xu Xian: mentally, he doesn't seem to be quite 'all there'. Emotionally, he seems to be rather dead other than the clear glee he shows while he's torturing werewolves.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Can we do some kind of Internet-y uplink file transfer You-Are-Ell colon-backslashy thing? You know, to move them from here to a more firendly location?"

Karlos: ((Depends how long the project ran, how many subjects, and what format the data was stored in. In theory however it's possible to store up to four terabytes in a single SQL database, which can span a multitude of hard drives in a single RAID array. Ergo Angelia can theoretically make do with stealing about five hard drives, but she'd need to steal the RAID controller card too. Might as well just steal the whole server.))

Jason: ((I mean.. is there a hard drive that big? Or do they just.. use.. lots of them?*L*))

Angelia Caponelli: (well then she's going to just take the whole computer with them but she's going to plug in her PDA and take Xu's file on it just for easy referance)

Jason: ((Okay. So there is at least a method by which she can transfer what she wants to the hard drive, steal those 5 hard drives, and call it good?))

Karlos: ((Depending on the modernity of the equipment, the server could be a behemoth of a thing that weighs a hundred kilos, or they could be natty little 2U Blade servers in a rack that just need unscrewing and sliding out.))

Angelia Caponelli: (Oh that's all over my own head with computer stuff but yeah that's what she'll do take it all)

Xu Xian: During his break, and to allow Khef some time to recover and dread the next session, he ambles along to the specimen contanier area, Khef's pelt tucked under an arm.

Karlos: He observes Xu quietly.

Angelia Caponelli: Well we have me and reyna who can carry a 100K server into our big truck at least but I would think they would be pretty state of the art)

Karlos: ((Exactly. Between you guys you can steal the server *G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I was guessing the big-ass Server myself, but it depends on how high-tech they got with their datat storage.))

Karlos: ((I'm gonna have to fade in about ten))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Tell me what you need me to do, Babe." She pats Angelia's shoulder.

Karlos: ~FS~ "Hurry if possible. Xu is collecting pelts."

Angelia Caponelli: So once Ang has that one file on her pda she proceeds in directing Reyna and they start hauling computer equipment out of the building.

Xu Xian: He consults the chart of what gets stored where, then signs in a new specimen and starts to go put the pelt in the proper area, then pauses and double checks to see if any specimens match sa65-003

Jason: ((I say... a RACK! The Doc was all techno spiffy, imo. Very mobile.))

Karlos: ((Techno techno techno techno! ^_^))

Jason -> Xu Xian: ((ah HA! His own number?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ~FS~ "Ah, shit. We're on the move." She starts hauling Hispanic Indian ass.

Xu Xian -> Jason: ((Yes.))

Angelia Caponelli: So she carries out the rack and a few hard drive with Reyna. ~fs~ We're good to go.

Karlos: He nods and moves to find Xu, murmuring "Xu. We're done."

Jason -> Xu Xian: *There he is. A couple of flipped pages in the right section, right next to what looks like a smudge of ink... Xu is looking at himself on paper. Reduced to a code. Another in a long list.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She waits in the van, looking to Ang. "Think he's okay?"

Angelia Caponelli: She looks up at Reyna and frowns, "I don't think so."

Xu Xian: He looks the list over, jaw pulsing slightly, and then goes to find the specimens listed.

Angelia Caponelli: (we took all the hard copies I think)

Angelia Caponelli: ~fs~ Karlos? You want me to kill the thing in the operating room?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Stupid question, I know." She sighs. "Fuckstick."

Karlos: ~FS~ "I want to burn this place to the ground when we leave," he responds quietly.

Jason: *Swathes of skin- only most, but not all recognizable even to him.. he moves through clouds of fog, the sheen of plaques over each icon of some lost hero glint in his eyes. Finally, he stands before something he'd left here long ago...*

Karlos: He moves alongside Xu, falling silent.

Xu Xian: He has no recollection of being here, but has been in freezers like this in various labs across the world. He rubs the frost off the coding plaques to make sure he has the right place and opens the storage unit.

Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head a bit at Reyna. "It's alright." She heads back into the building to look for combustble and flamable substances.

Jason: *Oh- there she is. The back of the van rocks slightly as the willful lioness moves with supple grace through the cargo section of the van. Circling a few times, bumping Ang' and Reyna's knees a little with her rump as she finds just the right spot- on Karlos' feet. Oh and.. between he and the two females. Just in case. You know..*

Karlos: ((Karlos nowhere near the van, honey))

Jason: ((DLP. Getting tired. Karlos isn't even in the van.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs as she watches Angelia go inside, patting the lioness's flank a little and trying to avoid feelings of uselessness on this particular mission.

Jason: *Fog rolls over the man as the cooler's seal is broken. Finally revealing a golden skin slit through with silver. In those patches it seems to fade between one and the other.. less attractive really than one purely one way or the other. But his. Hanging there like a jacket.*

Xu Xian: He stares at it, then checks the door to make sure he has the right code. Then looks to Karlos to see if he sees it
