Chapter 6 - Complications part 7

(Dormii)
Hell no! I'm just stalling them! Go!

(Lana)
=we get the reply=
"Yeah, I know a place. I'll send you the address when I get a chance. Standby. Oh and, uh, Yo."

Understood. I'll tell them to keep their pants on. Oh and uh, try to hurry, the guy has this nasty cut on him. It almost looks like a reaper.

=i look at Kurbis=
Okay. We just have to wait a minute.

=I put Laura into the lift and jump in myself=

=I got onto the grav lift, and headed up=

You better get up here man! I did not come all this way for a friend to die!

=And with that, I went up=

...odd, a reaper?

=She gets into the Trophaem, and falls on the floor.=

I think I've broken my leg.

(Scientia)

=He floats into the lift.=

(Senox)

Broccoli... *Snore*...

lets go

=heads into the lift=

=I exited the lift, and found myself on the Trophaeum=

Just when I think I'm out, they pull back in!

(Dormii)
=i climb out of the Cyclops after giving one last swing with the shield and jump into the lift floating up=

(Lana)
Reapers carry scythes, correct? I just told him you were coming with.

(Dormii)
=i get another comm=
"Understood. I'll tell them to keep their pants on. Oh and uh, try to hurry, the guy has this nasty cut on him. It almost looks like a reaper."

=i reply back=
I'll go as quick as I can. I need to bring in a exterminator first.

=I land next to Laura=

I think so too..

=I lift up her pant leg=

There is no blood.. probably just internal.. that is good.

oh... I hope we can get the coordinates to his location...

@Snow: Broken bone or something then?

Shit! It hurts...

(Dormii)
=i get up to the Trophaeum=
Shut off the lift now! They're coming up!

(Lana)
"I'll go as quick as I can. I need to bring in a exterminator first."

Ah, crap.

=I opened a comm to Miri=

Miri, listen: i'm on-board the Trophaeum. See if you can dock with them. If they ask, tell them Jason sent you.


(Miranda)

=I got a comm message from Jason=

Miri, listen: i'm on-board the Trophaeum. See if you can dock with them. If they ask, tell them Jason sent you.

Alright, understood. I'll see you there.

=I plotted a course for the ship=

what's wrong?

=I put pressure on the point I think it is broken at=

Does this hurt?

(Lana)
=to Kurbis=
There's a virus or something where he is. He doesn't want us to come for fear of being infected.

=i comm back=
So, how long until the exterminator gets there? They are kinda in a hurry to get somewhere new.

why are we refered to as "they"?

=shuts the lift off=

we better hurry up before it spreads more

=She punches the floor.=

@Snow: That fucking hurts!

=I stop=

Ok..

=I chuckle a bit=

You have a broken Tibia... shouldn't be to much of a problem.. unless you enjoy walking..

=I pick her up and begin to walk her to the medbay=

(Dormii)
=i get a comm again=
"So, how long until the exterminator gets there? They are kinda in a hurry to get somewhere new."

=i comm back=
No idea. He said they may have to bring in special equipment. This damn thing spread everywhere. It might not go away.

(Lana)
We're Rebels, remember? If the UNSC picks up on this, or anyone who helps the UNSC, they won't know that it's us calling.

(Jason)

=I looked around, and took everything in: Snow was standing over someone with a broken leg, Dormii was getting off the grav lift, and everyone else seemed shaken=

Okay, what the hell was that?

@Snow: Very fucking funny...

(Scientia)

I NEED THE CHEMICALS!! Speaker disabled, much better.

makes sense, I hope we can at least make it there... wait, why would we go back to the Tropheum? This ship is more comfortable.

=sets the ingredients on thr floor=

there now hurry up

=I laugh a bit=

You will be fine.. trust me.

(Dormii)
=to Jason=
Flood, apparently.


(Lana)
=comm=
"No idea. He said they may have to bring in special equipment. This damn thing spread everywhere. It might not go away."

Oh, great.

=to Kurbis. I shrug=
Well, remember why we did this? To find a place of our own? I suggested the Troph, you said yes. Doesn't mean we can't back out of it.

actually... we could go to the Tropheum to pick something up...

or someone...

I got that much from the data you guys sent. I meant how the hell did they get here?

=I took off my helmet, and rubbed my head=

The data said that the flood were only on these things called "Halos," and I highly doubt that one of those things is here.

(Scientia)

@Zeru: This will take time and planning. ETA 1 hour.

=He begins on the bomb.=

@Jason: From what Laura Fall told me, Scientists brought it here. It escaped, and we got the short straw.

(Laura)

@Snow: How long will it take to heal?

(Dormii)
=to Jason=
Pretty much that. I almost became food for that crap.

(Lana)
=i nod=
That could work, but then where would we go?

"Why are you here Matthias? On this vessel."

M- "why? well, Because I have an experiment I want to try."

"An experiment? on a ship?"

M- "Well, let's call it a.... social experiment."

what is he talking about? this can't be good.

"What kind of 'social experiment'?

M- "oh you know, the fun kind."

"That doesn't inspire confidence."

what the fuck is he planning?

M- "Sir Nikolaus, you know, it has been sometime since we fought together, you know that?"

"Don't call me that in public!" He whispers harshly. "I will not be exposed on the account of you."

M- "oh? such a party-pooper you are. Did you know that there is a flood spore being......tested on."

"What?" says the doctor with resignation.

M- "don't worry, it's not the mutated strain that you unknowingly created."

"It wasn't just me!"

M- "Oh right, you and.... those other ONI scientists."

"…………" He glares at Matthias.

M- "why the dirty look?"

"You sound like you know where the strain is."

M- "that would be because I do."



What?....... I thought we destroyed ...... Of course, thats what he meant by 'social experiment'! he's going to infect everyone aboard the ship!

=I gave a stunned look=

Who the hell would bring that thing here?

I don't know..

=I shrug=

At least a week before you can walk a little bit..

=I walk her into the medbay=

(Dormii)
=to Jason=
Evil Genius?

=i chuckle=
No idea.

it depends if i can get a hold of something on the tropheum... if i do we settle down, if not, we could travel...

=activates the troph defenese=

ok that should do it for about an hour and a half

(Scientia)

@Jason: Crazy Scientists with than natural human urge to know everything about everything.

(Laura)

@Snow: A week before I can even start to walk? Isn't there anything that can be done to speed it's healing process up?

We could only hope..

=I lay her down on one of the beds=

(Dormii)
=i lean against the wall=
Holy crap...


(Lana)
Okay. I'll tell him.

=i comm=
Purple to Dreamy. Purple to Dreamy. Scratch that, they just said they needed a place to send some mail. Then they may or may not want to make that the bed.

send mail? I'm picking up something.

(Dormii)
"Purple to Dreamy. Purple to Dreamy. Scratch that, they just said they needed a place to send some mail. Then they may or may not want to make that the bed."

=i comm back=
Understood. But this pest problem is persistent, it may take a while before you can pick up your mail.

(Lana)
It's a pickup term. Send mail there, so we can pick up.

oh... Why must I be so cluless!?

=She stares at the ceiling.=

@Snow: So I have to lie here, for a week?

(Scientia)

=A small explosion goes off.=

WOAH! Wrong chemical mix...

(Lana)
=i pull him down into a kiss=
I love you all the same, my clueless blanket.

"Understood. But this pest problem is persistent, it may take a while before you can pick up your mail."

=i reply=
Hurry up. Some things in our mail are time-sensitive, and personal. We don't get it in time, we may go crazy.

you know what I'm getting, right?

You don't "Have" to.. but I suggest it...

=I begin to wrap put a cast on her leg=

(Dormii)
"Hurry up. Some things in our mail are time-sensitive, and personal. We don't get it in time, we may go crazy."

=i reply back, chuckling=
I get it. I'll tell him to hurry up.

(Lana)
Let me guess, Zeru?

I want money. and lots of it. I will capture him, turn him in, and collect the money.

@Snow: Then I'll stay staring at the ceiling as long as I can.

(Scientia)

Hmm... 12% done... Damn human chemicals...
