(3:57:55 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter walks into the pool area.
(3:58:00 PM) Scantron: Spencer arrives, seeming mildly impatient, but in a good mood.
(3:58:22 PM) Mr_Wilt: Somebody's out there, tapping his foot impatiently.
(3:59:05 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter checks his watch again...damn everyone is impatient up in here...
(3:59:37 PM) Scantron: Who is the somebody?
(3:59:47 PM) Mr_Wilt: He doesn't look familiar.
(4:00:01 PM) Scantron: "...I don't believe we've met."
(4:00:13 PM) Mr_Wilt: "We haven't, and it's not important."
(4:00:21 PM) Mr_Wilt: He continues to impatiently tap his foot. "This obviously isn't everybody."
(4:00:25 PM) Scantron: "Very well."
(4:00:36 PM) Pemander: Marcus sneaks in and hides.
(4:00:39 PM) Scantron: He shrugs. "People can hard to find here."
(4:00:46 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter considers going for his gun, but decides against that, "I take it your on some kind of schedule?"
(4:01:03 PM) Mr_Wilt: "It's not exactly my time."
(4:01:35 PM) Scantron: "What are we doing, exactly?"
(4:01:52 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Getting your punishment. You guys /really/ fucked up."
(4:02:02 PM) Mr_Wilt: Nolan also derps on in, and joins up with both Walter and Spencer.
(4:02:12 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Excuse me?"
(4:02:13 PM) Soulless: Stoat heds in.
(4:02:17 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:02:38 PM) Scantron: Spencer sighs. "I suppose I should have done more to stop it from happening."
(4:03:06 PM) Mr_Wilt: "You /suppose/?"
(4:03:28 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Look I didn't even show up until after the fact."
(4:03:38 PM) Scantron: "If this could be made as quick as possible, I have other matters to attend to."
(4:03:39 PM) Soulless: Stoat looks around.
(4:03:58 PM) Sequence: Oh god the happy from the massage is gone.
(4:04:08 PM) Sequence: Eva shrinks and tries to hide behind Nolan.
(4:04:11 PM) Soulless: Stoat moves to Eva and hugs her gently.
(4:04:13 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Your matters can fucking /wait/, kid. This is far more important than what you have to do."
(4:04:14 PM) Sequence: *Stoat
(4:04:19 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Right, is that everyone?"
(4:04:20 PM) Scantron: "Kid?"
(4:04:30 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:04:40 PM) Sequence: 6df hiding behind Stoat
(4:04:41 PM) Glacon: Sequence: hiding behind Stoat: 0 (6df=-, +, -, +, -, +)
(4:04:41 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Looks to be..."
(4:04:55 PM) Scantron: "Miss Cervinkova is absent."
(4:05:12 PM) Soulless: Stoat just hugs her, comfortingly.
(4:05:13 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Ah well, this'll have to do. Just fill the rest of them in."
(4:05:14 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Damian, and Taggart..."
(4:05:26 PM) Mr_Wilt: The man heads back into the facility, leading everybody with him.
(4:05:36 PM) Mr_Wilt: Nolan follows after, not entirely sure what the dicks is going on.
(4:05:39 PM) Pemander: Marcus follows...sneakily!
(4:05:45 PM) Soulless: Stoat follows, her gaze fierce.
(4:05:49 PM) Soulless: 6df+8 detecting Marcus
(4:05:49 PM) Glacon: Soulless: detecting Marcus: 9 (6df+8=+, +, -, +, 0, -)
(4:05:50 PM) Scantron: Spencer is first in line. He really wants to get back to Rosalind.
(4:05:55 PM) Sequence: Eva follows. Oh god she is going to get punished sohard.
(4:05:57 PM) Soulless: Does Stoat detect Marcus?
(4:05:58 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter follows as well, not liking this too terribly much.
(4:06:09 PM) Daedalize: Velia wanders the halls nearby. She is totally not following them. Totally.
(4:06:17 PM) Mr_Wilt: She does not.
(4:06:28 PM) Soulless: She just hugs Eva then.
(4:06:49 PM) Sequence: Eva hugs Stoat and walks to her uncertain dooooooooooom.
(4:07:14 PM) Mr_Wilt: He leads them into Security, the occasional dirty glance being cast their way.
(4:07:33 PM) Scantron: Spencer matches the dirty glances.
(4:07:47 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "My isn't this a warm reception," grumbles Walter to himself...
(4:07:49 PM) Soulless: Stoat stands firm against the glances, proud almost, but mostly confident and protective.
(4:08:30 PM) Mr_Wilt: He stops at a large pair of double doors leading into a conference room and steps to the side. "Your lecture awaits."
(4:08:44 PM) Scantron: Spencer enters and takes a seat.
(4:08:57 PM) Soulless: Stoat wanders in and settles with Eva, still comfortingly holding her.
(4:09:02 PM) Sequence: Eva takes a seat, shrinking in on herself. She can tell this is going to hurt.
(4:09:03 PM) Mr_Wilt: Nolan also wanders on in.
(4:09:26 PM) Pemander: Marcus somehow...slips in?
(4:09:36 PM) Soulless: "It's going to be alright." She whispers.
(4:09:36 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter walks in, and takes a seat as well.
(4:10:03 PM) Scantron: Spencer drums his fingers.
(4:10:03 PM) Mr_Wilt: On the other side of the table, it would seem that every Director is present.
(4:10:07 PM) Mr_Wilt: Besides Gears, that is.
(4:10:37 PM) Scantron: Spencer nods to Jillian, who he has met.
(4:10:52 PM) Sequence: Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god. Eva pulls away from Stoat.
(4:11:05 PM) Sequence: Stoat shouldn't get punished for Eva's actions.
(4:11:15 PM) Pemander: Marcus bares his teeth. ~This is going to be good.~
(4:11:19 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter's face and expression become unreadable as he stares the collective Directors down...
(4:11:22 PM) Soulless: Stoat hugs tight.
(4:11:26 PM) Soulless: "Don't worry."
(4:11:32 PM) Soulless: Her gaze is protective.
(4:11:37 PM) Mr_Wilt: Director Corbette steps forward. He looks rather upset.
(4:11:47 PM) Sequence: "Come on, let go I have to be profess-"
(4:11:54 PM) Mr_Wilt: He decides to be the first to speak. "What the fuck did you people /do/?"
(4:12:08 PM) Soulless: "..." Stoat says nothin.
(4:12:15 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter looks around...waiting for someone else to say something.
(4:12:32 PM) Soulless: Hr gaze says it all.
(4:12:37 PM) Soulless: 'You already know'
(4:12:40 PM) Sequence: "I did it it was my fault don't punish them please it was my idea."
(4:12:41 PM) Scantron: "...well. It started when Mr. Patton and MIss Volgorde asked me to translate several books retrieved from a 'Dr. Franklin."
(4:13:07 PM) Mr_Wilt: Nolan doesn't say /shit/.
(4:13:09 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "It started with a package from a dead guy wound up in Miss Volgorde's hands."
(4:13:11 PM) Scantron: "I was provided with a crude translation dictionary and managed to decipher most of the material."
(4:13:33 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Okay, wait, wait." He holds his hand up.
(4:13:33 PM) Sequence: Eva covers her face. Goddamn it why are they talking.
(4:13:37 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Let me stop you there."
(4:13:41 PM) Soulless: Stoat hugs Eva tight.
(4:13:56 PM) Soulless: It's ok Eva, it's ok. Everyone is handling this because they want you.
(4:14:08 PM) Mr_Wilt: "You get a bunch of fucking books from /another/ anomaly and you translate /those/?"
(4:14:48 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:14:51 PM) Scantron: Spencer shrugs. "I wasn't aware that the books themselves were anomalous. I assumed they were simply in a foreign language."
(4:14:57 PM) Scantron: "If an unusal one."
(4:15:12 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Okay let me answer that question with another question."
(4:15:16 PM) Sequence: "Everybody shut up it was my fault okay."
(4:15:24 PM) Soulless: Stoat covers Eva's mouth.
(4:15:32 PM) Sequence: Eva is muffled.
(4:15:33 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "How the /HELL/ did you let her get that package in the first place?"
(4:15:37 PM) Soulless: "If we thought it was your fault we would single you out in the cold."
(4:15:40 PM) Mr_Wilt: "A language that some guy uses to fucking scream at people until they die from a brain hemorrhage?"
(4:15:41 PM) Soulless: She whispers this.
(4:15:42 PM) Sequence: She glares at Stoat.
(4:15:49 PM) Scantron: "Wait, what?"
(4:15:53 PM) Soulless: "We're about as fault as you are."
(4:16:14 PM) Soulless: "Now hush up and we'll all take the brunt with you. Friends don't abandon friends when everyone's to blame."
(4:16:24 PM) Scantron: "The language itself was safe to read."
(4:17:01 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Obviously fucking not, because now we have some prancing asshole in a suit who can do fucking /anything/, and /another/ fucking dimensional portal."
(4:17:06 PM) Sequence: Eva licks Stoat's hand. Her problem, her punishment!
(4:17:23 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Am I talking to myself right now?"
(4:17:33 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "You do screen our mail yes?"
(4:17:55 PM) Mr_Wilt: Ilana shoots Walter a look, and Corbette continues.
(4:18:04 PM) Scantron: "...I was going to get to that. While the language was safe to read, the contents described a summoning ritual of sorts. I regret translating that portion, yes."
(4:18:23 PM) Soulless: Stoat keeps it firmly there.
(4:18:25 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Holy fucking shit! A fucking /summoning/ ritual! Wow!"
(4:18:42 PM) Mr_Wilt: "And you thought the best course of action was to fucking do it?"
(4:18:44 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter heaves an exasperated sigh, collapsing into his seat, rubbing his temples.
(4:18:50 PM) Mr_Wilt: "We have a team of fucking brilliant motherfuckers here!"
(4:19:10 PM) Scantron: "I didn't believe it was wise, although I regret not doing my best to prevent it from happening."
(4:19:28 PM) Sequence: Eva shrinks, starting to tear up a bit.
(4:19:38 PM) Soulless: Stoat continues to hold her.
(4:19:46 PM) Mr_Wilt: "You fucking /should/ regret not stopping it."
(4:19:48 PM) Pemander: Marcus steps out of the shadows with his shades on and leans against the wall.
(4:19:56 PM) Soulless: "...I'd like to share with you a secret after this..."
(4:20:02 PM) Soulless: Only Eva can hear.
(4:20:13 PM) Sequence: Eva nods.
(4:20:15 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "You didn't stop it first."
(4:20:26 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Because we didn't /know/ about it."
(4:20:28 PM) Pemander: Marcus is now visible to the entire room, by the way.
(4:20:40 PM) Scantron: Spencer waits for Corbette to continue.
(4:20:49 PM) Mr_Wilt: Marcus is immediately pulled out by Security personnel.
(4:21:37 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "You had the books in your possession, the books of a self made immortal, and it didn't occur to you for a minute that those books /MIGHT/ have been a security risk when reading them gives you a low level migraine?"
(4:22:14 PM) Mr_Wilt: "That's another good point. We /burned/ all of his possessions when he died."
(4:22:18 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Where did you get these books from?"
(4:22:32 PM) Soulless: Stoat just gets ready for the brunt of yelling. Just get it over with so she can go back to Charon for some comfort for hurt feelings.
(4:22:45 PM) Scantron: "Mr. Patton and Ms. Volgorde handed me the books while exiting Agent Marchese's room."
(4:22:46 PM) Sequence: Eva tugs at Stoat's hand. Let her take the fall for Damian!
(4:22:59 PM) Sequence: Goddammit Spencer! Goddammit!
(4:23:05 PM) Soulless: Stoat keeps Eva down.
(4:23:13 PM) Soulless: "This is everybody's fault."
(4:23:22 PM) Soulless: "Let them take their blame."
(4:23:22 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "...there was a courier...in the lunch room?"
(4:23:38 PM) Soulless: "Don"
(4:23:56 PM) Soulless: REDACT
(4:24:03 PM) Soulless: "At least give us that much, as your friends."
(4:24:27 PM) Sequence: Eva slumps against Stoat. She give up.
(4:24:30 PM) Sequence: *gives
(4:24:49 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Why weren't these books turned into Resea- okay, that's not even important anymore."
(4:24:55 PM) Soulless: Eva can note Stoat has a spirit today. Somehow she's grown some serious balls.
(4:25:24 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Wait...are you saying those books...that courier just...appeared on site with no prior warning?"
(4:26:07 PM) Scantron: Spencer drums his fingers a bit.
(4:26:14 PM) Sequence: Eva definitely notes Stoat's spirit. Goddammit this is the worst time for her to grow a pair.
(4:26:35 PM) Mr_Wilt: "We never had any books! Sure, we got the letter - we did get the letter, right?"
(4:26:45 PM) Mr_Wilt: Ilana nods, impatiently.
(4:27:04 PM) Soulless: "You can yell at me later."
(4:27:09 PM) Soulless: To Eva.
(4:27:14 PM) Mr_Wilt: "But obviously some translator isn't going to do something when there weren't any books. We made sure /everything/ of Franklin's was /burned/."
(4:27:43 PM) Scantron: "...the books /did/ belong to Mr. Franklin, right?" Spencer turns to Eva and Nolan for confirmation.
(4:28:05 PM) Mr_Wilt: Nolan shakes his head. "We got them from Damian. Dunno how he got them."
(4:28:12 PM) Sequence: Eva casts a pleading look at Spencer.
(4:28:14 PM) Sequence: Help.
(4:28:35 PM) Scantron: Spencer /is/ helping, Eva. He didn't even have to say anything, but he did.
(4:28:52 PM) Scantron: Spencer turns back to the directors. "Well. I suppose you'd have to ask him."
(4:29:02 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter rubs his temples, only just now getting the full scope of what happened that day.
(4:29:10 PM) Mr_Wilt: Corbette lets out a long, frustrated breath.
(4:29:40 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Look, okay, you made a mistake, and now it's here. Now we just want to get rid of it."
(4:29:59 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "I recommend not shooting it..."
(4:30:17 PM) Sequence: Eva licks Stoat's hand again. It's childish, but it's the only weapon she has.
(4:30:25 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Has anybody /talked/ to the thing?"
(4:30:34 PM) Scantron: "Repeatedly."
(4:30:45 PM) Scantron: "I'm fairly certain we've all had discussions with it."
(4:31:10 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Has anybody asked how to get rid of him?"
(4:31:39 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:31:43 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Does he even /know/ how to get rid of himself?"
(4:31:53 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Can we just ask him to go away?"
(4:31:57 PM) Soulless: "..." Stoat knows, but hell if she's gonna crack and say it.
(4:32:36 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "He doesn't like being touched."
(4:32:41 PM) Scantron: Spencer shrugs. "I haven't gotten a straight answer."
(4:32:49 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:33:01 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Course that could be a foible, but it's the only weakness I've noticed."
(4:33:03 PM) Sequence: Eva wiggles in Stoat's grasp.
(4:33:29 PM) Mr_Wilt: He rubs his face. "Look, either we find out how to make him go away, or we just get a sniper and shoot him."
(4:33:48 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "I'll say again, do not try to shoot him, he'll just shoot you back."
(4:34:12 PM) Mr_Wilt: "At this point, it looks like that's all we've got."
(4:34:22 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "How decidedly scientific..."
(4:34:32 PM) Scantron: "...Miss Stoat mentioned something earlier."
(4:34:44 PM) Soulless: "..." Stoat gives Spencer /that look/ .
(4:34:47 PM) Sequence: Eva stops wiggling.
(4:34:50 PM) Sequence: Oh god eyes on her.
(4:34:54 PM) Sequence: On Stoat.
(4:35:04 PM) Mr_Wilt: The Directors look at Stoat.
(4:35:05 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Oh?"
(4:35:16 PM) Sequence: Hand lick.
(4:35:48 PM) Soulless: Stoat looks at these directors. "..." She gives Spencer a dark look. He better lock his doors tonight in case Stoat slits his throat.
(4:36:17 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Look, he seems affable enough in his current state, we just need more time to get to know the SOB."
(4:36:46 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Sitting there and glaring at us isn't going to accomplish anything."
(4:37:01 PM) Soulless: Thank you Walter.
(4:37:40 PM) Sequence: Eva glares at Stoat. They're looking straight at you and you still don't take your hand off her mouth? What the hell, Stoat!
(4:37:46 PM) Mr_Wilt: "You may have a point there, but we can't exactly go about doing anything without knowing /everything/."
(4:38:15 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Well we don't know /everything/ at this point, we just need a little more time is all."
(4:38:44 PM) Mr_Wilt: "Okay, let me rephrase that."
(4:38:49 PM) Wombat_Away left the room (quit: Broken pipe).
(4:38:51 PM) Mr_Wilt: "We need to know everything that you /know/."
(4:39:14 PM) Soulless: Stoat doesn't say anything. Spencer you better shut your ass.
(4:39:44 PM) Mr_Wilt: They continue to look at Stoat.
(4:39:56 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Don't shoot him, and he doesn't like being touched...and he has a certain fondness for phallic symbols...anything else?"
(4:40:04 PM) ShadesO`Gray: He looks tot he rest of the group at that...
(4:40:08 PM) Soulless: Stoat looks back. "I don't know anything that hasn't already been mentioned."
(4:41:15 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Well there you have it, your as up to speed as the rest of us."
(4:41:24 PM) ShadesO`Gray: "Would you like that in writing?"
(4:41:29 PM) Mr_Wilt: He sighs. "Fine. Go. You have a week to talk to him, find out how we can make him go away."
(4:41:38 PM) Mr_Wilt: "After that we're taking this into our own hands."
(4:41:58 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:42:09 PM) Soulless: Stoat gets up, takes her hand off Eva, and stalks off.
(4:42:11 PM) ShadesO`Gray: Walter nods, pushing off the desk and walking out of the conference room
(4:42:27 PM) Sequence: Eva trudges out. Goddammit, it's too late to take the blame.
(4:42:41 PM) Mr_Wilt: Those leaving, return to #farrecon.
(4:43:24 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:43:26 PM) Soulless: Stoat pauses a bit.
(4:43:39 PM) Soulless: She thinks, and debates. Can she get Charon under control in a week.
(4:44:01 PM) Mr_Wilt: The Directors go about discussing the situation among themselves.
(4:44:09 PM) Soulless: "...There is another way to render him relatively harmless."
(4:44:45 PM) Mr_Wilt: They stop, and turn. "Oh?"
(4:45:00 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:45:09 PM) Soulless: Does she know what she's doing actually?
(4:45:13 PM) Soulless: Probably not.
(4:45:51 PM) Mr_Wilt: "And how's that?"
(4:45:57 PM) Soulless: "Charon has mentioned a way he can be limited. "
(4:46:13 PM) Soulless: "But I'll need more time than a week to talk with him about that process."
(4:46:37 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:46:45 PM) Mr_Wilt: "A week is all you have. We'll give you all the time in the world, once you give us a viable method of getting rid of ihm."
(4:47:03 PM) Soulless: "...Getting rid of. Not simply rendering him not a threat?"
(4:48:01 PM) Mr_Wilt: "We'll see."
(4:49:01 PM) Soulless: "..."
(4:49:09 PM) Soulless: Stoat lets out a small sigh.
(4:49:22 PM) Soulless: She then walks out.
(4:57:07 PM) Daedalize: Velia stands from her position leaning against a wall in a hallway on the opposite side of the conference room and wanders off.
