Chapter 6: Complications

(He nods)

@Dormii

I saw Nikolaus in the Morgue of the Hospital
We were both going crazy.

Scythe and Tar. Nothing.

=i walk over to him and put my hand on his shoulder=
You sure you're okay? I know this whole thing is hard for you.

@Draco: Why is this 'Nikolaus' in the Morgue? Is that not a place of the dead?

(He nods)

@Dormii
Yes. I will have her with me.
Even when she is not.

@Senox

He is crazy, just slightly. He was speaking to a cadaver.

=to Draco=
Okay. If you want to talk, I'm here.

=to both=
Well, let's go find the others.

@Dormii: Where do we start? The Hospital?

=I make sure my shield are on.=

=to Senox=
Yea, let's start there.

=to Draco=
If you want some time alone, you can wait in the Pelican.

=I lean up against a wall, applying a bandage to my leg=

=I take out some painkillers and nod no and put it back=

=Senox and I start heading out towards the hospital, or what's left of it. Draco waits in the Pelican=
Man, how the hell did we survive that?

@Dormii: I was lying in a Hospital bed... So I really don't know how you survived.

=i chuckle=
It's one of those questions you just can't answer. Kinda like how the universe was made, or why, things like that.

=we approach a hole in the wall=
Let's go take a look and see what we can see.

(He takes a seat in the Pelican)
(He takes her dogtags once more and smiles)
(He takes out his AM and begins inspecting it)

=I go through the hole in the wall into the Hospital.=

@Dormii: It's clear, except for dead bodies.

Okay. Let's keep looking.

=i call out=
Snow! Tar! Scythe! You guys out there?

=They walk back to the hanger=

(Justin) "Maybe we should just wait, who knows what will be here."

=I pull up my AR and watch for any threats=

@Dormii: Where did you last see Tar-Tun, Scythe or Snow?

=i call out, louder=
SNOW! TAR! SCYTHE! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?

=to Senox=Well, last I saw Tar-tun and Scythe they were coming here. Snow well, when all this fighting started. I'm sure they're around here somewhere.

=I call out to Dormii=

Over here...

=I couldn't quite yell=

@Dormii: Maybe this will get their attention. I'd cover your ears.

=I release a loud 'ROAR!' which hopefully gets their attention.=

=i cover my ears as he does that=
Yea...remind me to show you what my armor can do, when we get back. Oh, that reminds me.

=i use my portable comm unit to send a message to Collins=
Hey, Matt, you may not see it, but we got a ship now. If I'm not in the city when you arrive, I'll be up there. Send me a comm when you have that info I wanted.

=i call out again=
SNOW! TAR! SCYTHE!

Egh..

=I clear my throat and try to give a yell=

Over here!

=to Senox=
Let's go.

=we rush over to where we heard the shout=
Hey, Snow, you okay?

Oh. You're still alive... Dissapointing...

=I follow Dormii.=

=I shift toward Dormii=

I don't know..!

=i help him stand, supporting his weight=
Senox, go find the others. They should be here somewhere. Look under debris and in locked rooms and so on. They may be unconscious. We'll follow you.

The wakens from his unannounced slumber to find himself alone. The lights of the Morgue flicker and fade. The Corpses in the room begin to claw at their metal cages. the hallow screams scarcely audible behind the metal of the door that seals them in their cold tomb. The doctor is now alone in the dark. with nothing but cadavers for company.

=I nod. I go and try to find the Morgue.=

@Dormii and Snow: Do any of you know where the Morgue is?

Nope, and hope I don't intend to be there..

=I chuckle and walk with Dormii=

But people are dying to get in there..

=i give a playful smack on the back of the head=
Really bad joke, Snow. Really bad.

=i smile=
Senox, um...it may be below ground. Easier storage.

@Dormii and Snow: What is a 'joke'? And how do we get down to the Morgue, I haven't seen any stairs nearby."

The Lights flicker again, cadavers on the open slabs sit up and then stand. The Doctors breathing increases as his heart rate accelerates. He stands, backing away from the flickering lights. Backing up into...... something...... He slowly turns his head to look over his shoulder at what he bumped into. at that moment the light above him flicks on and he sees a cadaver smiling at him. He turns his head away again. Then he back-kicks the cadaver, sending it flying into the wall behind the doctor. he then runs around the morgue looking for an exit. He finds none. the way through the lobby must have collapsed after Draco left. the emergency elevator is buried in debris. The Doctor begins to panic.

=to Senox=
A joke is a term for something someone says when trying to give humor. Good ones are ones that make you laugh a lot. Bad ones just make you smile or worse, make the mood worse.

(The scenery before him changes)
(It turns into a walkway with trees on both sides)
(A village is seen not to far from the area)
(Burning)
(He looks next to him)
(His memory self is sitting next to him)

MD-Matthew! Get us out of here!

Matthew-Where are the others? What happened?

MD-Come back for them. I need to go!

(The Pelican begins to take off in his eyes)

=I almost fall, but keep my balance=

So.. where is everyone else?

=to Snow=
Well, Draco is sitting in the Pelican. Tar, Scythe and Nikolaus are in here somewhere. Everyone else is on the Trophaeum, which I'm sure you have some fond memories of.

=I sigh and become silent=

=I look around, trying to figure out how to get down to the Morgue. Then I realise what to do. I pull out four plasma grenade, stick them to the floor and get the hell away from it.=

@Dormii and Snow: Move!

An old women comes out of the forest. unarmed. revealing herself to the group.

=Snow and I hurry away from the grenades before they go off=
Seriously? What does that do for us?

(He looks out unto the area)
(He shakes his head)
(Trying to break from the dream)
(His memory self looks at him)

You caused that. You cause death and destruction.
That is why she left

(He disappears)
(He looks back out at the clearing)

No she didnt leave me because of that.
She went to find her family.

=I point to the hole in the floor.=

@Dormii: Takes us straight to the Morgue.

=I stand at the edge of the hole.=

Anyone down there?

=I look at Dormii=

That's ok, I can stay here..

Senox, I don't know. Take a look. I'd go with you but someone need to stay up here to get you and anyone you find out out.

David, already pistol in-hand, aimed it at the woman, "Don't move."

=I look back at them, and then jump through the hole into the morgue.=

Is anyone there?

=i call down to Senox=
You find Nikolaus yet?

@Dormii: No, not y-.

=I feel something under my foot, I look down and I have stood on a man wearing a Doctors coat face... Then I realise how tall he is.

@Dormii: Is he a Doctor? A really tall Doctor?

Yea, about as tall as you are. I'm guessing you found him?

@Dormii: Yeah.. Urm... I kinda stood on his face...
