[Date: December 23rd, 2015. Time: 2000 hours.] [Everyone on the east of Europe side of the Kaminari team got a video call regarding the diminishing condition of one Makoto Shosuro. So thus, everyone went to investigate. Due to the brilliant interaction by TJ (or perhaps the not nearly as brilliant response from the guards), they managed to maneuver a big rig onto the docks without much of a fuss and make their way to the cargo ship smuggling Makoto back into the country.] [There they met with Micky's contact and after some persuasion and regathering, they all made their way down into the hold where the mostly chinese guard is talking frantically while someone monitors Makoto's condition. He seems to have calmed down, for now, but is still unconscious, murmuring random things in his sleep state.] [The guy in the special purple-lined brim hat, who has introduced himself as "Robert Langly" (or Bob) lets you into the room after verifying that you did really get a message from Micky.] [The room has crates strewn around it, which are the only thing that really makes a makeshift room where Makoto's monitors and bed are.] [Start of File.] (Ah yes. Xiang-Fei is the only one present who speaks Chinese, yes?) ( :o ) (Oh my God, I'm playing. What is this world coming to?) (I almost said I did, but then I realized that this is not MC2. ;p) (I'm still kinda used to being one of the few characters who could. ;p) (Since it came up fairly often there.) (Olivia does... not.) * T.J. looks around the room a bit uncertainly. He doesn't express recognition upon seeing Makoto. Either he masks it well or the man is a complete stranger to him. * Aaron takes a quick look around the room before focusing on Makoto. * Hans walks into the room as well, carrying his case. His eyes focus on Makoto but he doesn't quite approach just yet. * Xiang-Fei is there! She takes in the scenery, glancing at the Chinese guys. [Bob continues, "It seems you came just in time. The crew's kind of been getting restless smuggling this guy abroad." * Olivia doesn't recognize people, but that's okay. She'll just hide behind the people who know what they're doing. Like the rest of the group. (We know what we're doing? ^_^) (You're the spys!) (Well, at least we have you fooled. For the moment.) (In KS, nobody knows what they're doing. Not even the NPCs.) * Xiang-Fei nodnods. "Is danger man." ( DANGERMAN! ) ( Makoto is a superhero! ) (DANGERTAINMENT!) [There's a low, humming beep in the background of the monitor. Every once in a while, you hear a spike.] [Bob looks at Xiang-Fei. "Danger man?"] [Hans, meanwhile, frowns and walks straight over towards Makoto's bedside.] * Aaron watches Hans now. * Xiang-Fei nods. "Is not nice person. And smell bad, too." * T.J. walks over to Makoto and looks at the readouts on the monitor, trying to decypher them. [Bob nods to Xiang-Fei. "Well, I wouldn't know about that. The main issue is that he's been starting to talk in his sleep.] (Give me medical (diagnosis) +4) * Xiang-Fei tilts her head at Bob. "About what?" * Olivia watches the spies do spywork. Yeah. Um... 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6+2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 8. Ah, really? (Fail by 1.) [ Something about painting. Oh, and there's been some brief stints of struggling. He also seemed confused and concerned about someone.] Himself? Stupid robot. [TJ can't make heads nor tails out of the monitor. Not all of them seem to be heartbeat monitors, but those ones he can make out. The others are probably brainwave patterns. Hans seems to be able to though, because he suddenly shouts out, "What the hell..." What is it? * Xiang-Fei turns her attention to Mr. Dr. Huh? "What's up?" * T.J. does not add "Doc," though he would be entirely justified in doing so. (*snerk*) [Hans starts opening his case. He doesn't seem to note the attention just yet.] [Meanwhile, Bob's attention is occupied by a nearby crewmember, who says something to him in rapid chinese.] [Hans starts muttering to himself. "Can't be...no one’s looks like that..."] ( Hans doesn't get out enough. ) * Aaron does not ask "Like what?" because he's fairly certain he won't get a response. So he just looks at the monitor and then back at Makoto like he knows what he's doing. ;p * Xiang-Fei boggles. * T.J. shrugs as he realizes he can't make heads nor tails of the monitors. He pulls off his ballcap and rubs away the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. [Bob frowns and replies.] * Xiang-Fei turns her attention to Bob. [Hans stands slowly and turns to the rest. "This whole thing is a mess here. I can't believe they didn't contact me sooner." * Olivia blinks and walks over to TJ. "Um, what do the monitors say?" "Those ones there are heartbeat." T.J. points. "As for the rest, I ain't got a clue." [Hans points to the non-heart monitor and interrupts. "You see that one?"] Yes? That one's a brain wave monitor. It's telling us that he's got at LEAST two distinct brain waves in there. Are you saying he's possessed? * Xiang-Fei eeps. * Olivia looks at the monitors, trying to make more sense of it than TJ did. "That's definetly not good. I'd say it's the opposite of good. It's bad. Bad bad bad." Or he's developed multiple personalities? I don't think so. Usually multiple personalities are variations on the same pattern. They're distinct, in their own way, but it's within a moderated length. And only one is present at one time. "First clones, now this. Does spy stuff always turn out to be crazy sci-fi shit?" Anyhow, I'm going to have to put something in him. Hold on a sec. * Xiang-Fei takes all this in patiently, intelligently processes it, and gives out her summary observation: "Huh?" Not always. Just frequently. * Hans starts preparing a needle. * Olivia lets the doctor do the needle thing! [Hans pulls up his arm loose to get a proper vein. He starts rubbing it with alcohol and then comes close with the needle.] dammit, it's cold out here. ( OMG teh suspenze! ) * Aaron mouths "Out here?" (I'll inject you next!) "What are you shooting him up with?" T.J. asks Hans. * Olivia shrugs to Aaron. Something that I'm hoping will wake him up. Though which him, I don't know. Let's hope it's not one that wants to kill us all. That would be bad. * Olivia backs away from Makoto. Maybe he'll just want to dump soup over his head. That would be amusing. [He loosens the strap and grips his wrist firmly.] Should lock him up first. Then wake. "He wants to kill us all? I thought this dude was a friend of yours." No. no! At least they can agree on that. * Xiang-Fei nods. * Makoto jerks his arm. I'm not leaving! It's a complicated situation... well, no. Xiang-Fei hates Makoto, and he's never seemed terribly fond of her, either. I don't know him all that well, to be honest. [The heart monitor jumps a beat, as well as the brain wave patterns spike suddenly. Hans curses and tries to retain his grip.] * Xiang-Fei stares at Aaron. "He kill many people and try kill me. No, I no like him lots. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Makoto (2d6-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. (Good job!) FINE. FINE! I'll leave, dammit! * Olivia mutters in English. "" [Hans sets his grip down. "Pretty active for an unconscious person." He slams his arm back down against the bed, a little painfully.] * Makoto whimpers. I'm LEAVING, dammit! Lemme go! * Makoto opens his eyes and stares wildly at Hans. SHIT! * Olivia gets behind someone! * Makoto does this odd sideways scoot, and drops off the side of the bed opposite Hans [Hans looks at Makoto and then lets out a curse as Makoto falls off the bed, pulling him with him. Hans tumbles over the bed with a crash and the needle goes flying, breaking on the floor a few meters away.] Keep your hands off me! I'm leaving, already! * Makoto scrambles along the floor away from Hans. [There's an uproar amongst the people there and they all scoot back away from Makoto. Bob curses and immediately dials on the phone.] This... probably isn't good. Uh... I don't think so. * Xiang-Fei stares. [Hans is just stumbled over the bed, calling out "Shit." and holding his arm. He took a good spill there.] You guys just back off! I'm leaving, right now! Ok bye. "Calm down." * Makoto scrambles to his feet, dragging medical monitors with him when they don't pop off. No, no, I don't think I need to calm down, I think I need to get the hell out of here. * Makoto feels a twinge, looks down for a moment, and then tears the IV out of his arm. * Xiang-Fei looks to... Aaron! "What we do now?" Why do you need to get out of here? [Hans tries to get himself upright again. "Damn it. Someone needs to get him. Keep him busy while I get a sedative ready."] ("Xiang-Fei, go beat him up." "Okay!" ^_^_V) Look, I don't want no trouble with the cops, so you just back off and I'm GONE, 'kay?" (How you holding up, ND?) * T.J. backs up, giving Makoto plenty of room. He quickly puts his hat back on to free up his hands. * Xiang-Fei waves to Hans. "I can do it!" She doesn't promise to do it nine times, though. What cops? * Olivia backs up and stays behind TJ! * Makoto grabs the IV stand and flings it across the room at Aaron, then turns and RUNS. (Do I need to roll defense or anything?) (Because if you're okay to go on, we roll init. Otherwise...) ( No, it's a distraction, not an attack. ) * Xiang-Fei blocks the door! * Aaron attempts to dodge the IV stand! Thus allowing Makoto to get away, or at least past him. [To be continued.]
