  1. (1:53:10 AM) Pryor: "rosalind, get the MRI ready, we're just going to have to risk it"
  2. (1:53:10 AM) Feierzeit: "I'll do what I can to make sure there's not a lot of screaming.
  3. (1:53:46 AM) Tara_Unknown: "She appears to have a system that is similar to a usual circulatory system. I wouldn't be surprised if the transformation just commandeered the preexisting system. I'm going to assume it travels through her body using the capillary action that plants use"
  4. (1:54:00 AM) Pryor: (is mick still in research?0
  5. (1:54:03 AM) Tara_Unknown: "And, yes, I think we may have to risk it"
  6. (1:54:15 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind goes and prepares the MRI
  7. (1:54:58 AM) Soulless: Lisa shakes her head. "No... the flowers just want to live like everyone else..."
  8. (1:54:59 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Lisa, if it even begins to feel uncomfortable or hurt, let us know and we'll turn it off"
  9. (1:55:38 AM) Tox|Laptop: (Yeah)
  10. (1:55:44 AM) Tox|Laptop: (Mick's patting Saphir)
  11. (1:55:51 AM) Pryor: "but let us know immediately, we don't want the vines to act up"
  12. (1:55:58 AM) Soulless: "Okay."
  13. (1:55:59 AM) Pryor: "mick, you're in security, right?"
  14. (1:56:02 AM) LumineInfinitus left the room (quit: Quit: LumineInfinitus).
  15. (1:56:07 AM) Soulless: Lisa says this.
  16. (1:56:36 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Ayup." Mick looks up from patting Saphir.
  17. (1:57:12 AM) Pryor: "follow me, if you would" joseph motions for him to follow him out of the room
  18. (1:57:47 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Well, first, we get a pan!"
  19. (1:58:07 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Right." Mick tucks Saphir under his arm and follows Joseph.
  20. (1:58:08 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Can you lie down?" she asks Lisa, motioning to the imager
  21. (1:58:18 AM) Soulless: Stoat gets a pan.
  22. (1:58:23 AM) Salmander left the room (quit: Quit: How can a robot think with his elbows in the sink?).
  23. (1:58:30 AM) Pryor: "Rosalind, give us a minute, don't start anything just yet"
  24. (1:58:41 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Then we turn on the stove and set the pan on the stove!"
  25. (1:58:43 AM) Mr_Wilt: Charon grins.
  26. (1:58:44 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind nods. "I'll wait"
  27. (1:58:47 AM) Soulless: Lisa struggles to lie down with the crystal impaled on her. She settles on her side.
  28. (1:59:12 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer pauses for a bit, then turns to Rosalind. "Any way I can help?"
  29. (1:59:16 AM) Soulless: Stoat turns the stove on and sets the pan on there curiously. "...What now?"
  30. (1:59:35 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Lying on your side is fine. I want you to be comfortable"
  31. (2:00:08 AM) Tara_Unknown: "I don't know. Do you know anything about operating an MRI?"
  32. (2:00:29 AM) Pryor: joseph pulls mick aside and quietly says "I don't want to alarm the girl, but this has the potential to get very ugly"
  33. (2:00:53 AM) Feierzeit: "I know a few things." Roll Science to help operate the MRI?
  34. (2:01:49 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Ugly? How so?" he whispers.
  35. (2:02:24 AM) Mr_Wilt: "We get some butter and grease up the whole pan!"
  36. (2:03:38 AM) LumineInfinitus [~LumineInf@74F3DF76.368D03AD.FF7BD1D5.IP] entered the room.
  37. (2:04:14 AM) Pryor: "well, we're winging an MRI on something that isn't quite human, we've no idea how she'll react, but if it hurts her in any way, the vines will go wild"
  38. (2:04:42 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Oh. I advise you all get back, then, to some degree of safety."
  39. (2:05:03 AM) Pryor: "I'm going to be right next to her the whole time, but we need a team to be able to pull the others out and lock the doors, if need be"
  40. (2:05:08 AM) Feierzeit: 6df+9 tagging Modern Major General to be able to run the MRI machine
  41. (2:05:08 AM) Glacon: Feierzeit: tagging Modern Major General to be able to run the MRI machine: 7 (6df+9=+, -, -, -, -, +)
  42. (2:05:22 AM) Pryor: "i need to stay close, If she panics in the machine, it could be just as bad"
  43. (2:05:29 AM) Feierzeit: "Yeah, I can operate the MRI."
  44. (2:05:50 AM) Dexanote left the room (quit: Quit: goodnight, love you).
  45. (2:06:00 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Shit, Spencer started the damn machine. Get back in there."
  46. (2:06:07 AM) Pryor: "but the others don't and i need a team to go in and yank them out"
  47. (2:06:20 AM) Pryor: (no, he just found out that he can operate it0
  48. (2:06:47 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer has not activated the MRI machine yet.
  49. (2:06:49 AM) Soulless: Lisa lays obediently.
  50. (2:07:00 AM) Tox|Laptop: Redact
  51. (2:07:25 AM) Pryor: "and if you need to get a security team, don't get nolan"
  52. (2:07:26 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Alright. I'll get my squad here." He calls out for his team, and three more security agents come up.
  53. (2:07:27 AM) Soulless: Stoat tries to butter the pan and winces when some of the hot oil splashes on her. Jesus!
  54. (2:07:31 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Why not Nolan?"
  55. (2:07:46 AM) Tara_Unknown: "I'm mostly going to be taking readings and trying to help keep her calm. This is new, and she might get a little scared"
  56. (2:07:47 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Not that he's on my team, but why not him?"
  57. (2:08:05 AM) Pryor: "I need someone who can handle themselves and not put others at risk for a thrill,"
  58. (2:08:08 AM) Soulless: Lisa looks at the big machine. "This is a very odd magic thing..."
  59. (2:08:15 AM) Pryor: "and also, be sure the girl doesn't see you yet"
  60. (2:08:25 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Oh, dear! Are you okay?"
  61. (2:08:28 AM) Feierzeit: "That seems like a good plan."
  62. (2:08:36 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Point." Romeo Squad is there. They loiter outside the door!
  63. (2:08:43 AM) Soulless: Stoat nods. "...I think it's just the hot oil..."
  64. (2:08:50 AM) Pryor: "I'm going in, wish me luck"
  65. (2:09:06 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Do you need a bandage?"
  66. (2:09:21 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Alright. Take it easy."
  67. (2:09:59 AM) Tara_Unknown: "It is, but it should let us see inside you. You just let us know if it hurts or you get scared, and we'll stop it"
  68. (2:10:12 AM) Soulless: Lisa nods. "I will."
  69. (2:10:25 AM) Pryor: "ok, everything all set?"
  70. (2:10:35 AM) Feierzeit: "I'm ready to start it up."
  71. (2:10:39 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind nods
  72. (2:10:41 AM) Soulless: Stoat shakes her head. "I'm fine. What now?"
  73. (2:10:42 AM) Feierzeit: "Just give the word."
  74. (2:10:50 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick and Romeo shift outside the door.
  75. (2:10:58 AM) Mr_Wilt: "We crack the egg and pour the contents onto the pan!"
  76. (2:11:15 AM) Pryor: "alright, here's what's going to happen, folks" Joseph is upbeat, more like a camp counselor than a researcher
  77. (2:11:19 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Nonlethals only. We don't want to kill the girl, right?" Various noises of assent.
  78. (2:11:41 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer pays attention to Joseph.
  79. (2:12:16 AM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan has been watching all of this on the cell security camera. He sits in the surveillance room, open mouthed.
  80. (2:12:25 AM) Soulless: Stoat nods and cracks the egg clumsily, leaving bits of egg shell pieces in there, and also dumps the contents too high, causing the impact to break the yolk. Stoat looks sad.
  81. (2:12:30 AM) Pryor: "Spencer, you're going to activate the machine, then you and Rosalind are going to head to the monitors, Lisa, i'm going to stay with you here in the chamber" joseph removes his belt, shoes, and other various metal deelies and places them in the hall
  82. (2:12:45 AM) Soulless: Lisa nods. "Okay."
  83. (2:12:46 AM) Pryor: "no metal anywhere, is that clear?"
  84. (2:13:12 AM) Feierzeit: "Sounds good." Spencer removes his metal items, including his weapons, and puts them in the hall. He memorizes their placement.
  85. (2:14:00 AM) Tara_Unknown_ [~chatzilla@synIRC-99990265.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
  86. (2:14:23 AM) Pryor: joseph pulls spencer into a huddle and whispers "if anything goes wrong, shut the machine down and leave me, alright? just get out with mick's team and bar the doors"
  87. (2:14:54 AM) Tox|Laptop left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
  88. (2:14:56 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer pauses, then nods. "All right."
  89. (2:14:57 AM) Tara_Unknown left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
  90. (2:15:04 AM) Tox|Laptop [~Omicron@synIRC-1104A2B4.washdc.fios.verizon.net] entered the room.
  91. (2:15:04 AM) mode (+o Tox|Laptop) by ChanServ
  92. (2:15:08 AM) Pryor: "and any chance you could get duncan down here?"
  93. (2:15:17 AM) Tara_Unknown_ is now known as Tara_Unknown
  94. (2:15:22 AM) Pryor: "It'd keep me sane,"
  95. (2:15:32 AM) ShockwaveLover: REDACT
  96. (2:15:50 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Don't look so down, Alicia! Practice makes perfect!" The pan goes over to the trash, dumping out the contents. A stick of butter greases the pan up some more and it carefully sets itself back on the burner. "Here, grab another!"
  97. (2:15:52 AM) Pryor: wait, redact that, duncan's stuff is cooler
  98. (2:16:39 AM) Soulless: Stoat looks a little embarrassed at being called her name. "..." She tries again, with the same results. She doesn't seem to know what she's doing wrong. She looks sad again. "This is harder than it looks..."
  99. (2:16:52 AM) Pryor: "we good, fellas?"
  100. (2:17:13 AM) Tara_Unknown: "We're good"
  101. (2:17:18 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer positions himself by the controls and gives the thumbs up.
  102. (2:17:23 AM) Pryor: "alright, lisa, are you ready?
  103. (2:17:24 AM) Pryor: "
  104. (2:17:36 AM) Soulless: Lisa smiles. "I think so..."
  105. (2:17:45 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Let me help you!" The pan goes back through the same routine. "Get a new egg, but don't crack it just yet!"
  106. (2:17:49 AM) Pryor: "and you know what's going to happen?"
  107. (2:18:06 AM) Soulless: Stoat gets a new egg. "Okay... What now?"
  108. (2:18:22 AM) Soulless: Lisa shakes her head. "I don't really know... but I trust you all... you've all been very nice..."
  109. (2:19:05 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer makes a mental tally mark at that. +1 person that trusts him.
  110. (2:19:12 AM) Pryor: "ok, lisa, you're going to be pulled into the machine, and you're going to be lit up by a blue light, I'll be right here next to you, but it may get a little scary, just be brave, for me, alright lass?"
  111. (2:20:14 AM) Soulless: Lisa nods. "Okay. This is strange magic... I've never heard of anything like this..."
  112. (2:20:56 AM) Pryor: "good girl, you'll be fine, I promise," joseph gives the thumbs up, well aware that this could be suicide
  113. (2:21:10 AM) Pryor: but he doesn't show it in the least
  114. (2:21:18 AM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan has been watching all of this on the lab security camera. He sits in the surveillance room, open mouthed.
  115. (2:21:18 AM) Soulless: Lisa smiles. "Okay." So trusting.
  116. (2:21:21 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer activates the machine.
  117. (2:21:34 AM) Mr_Wilt: Charon wraps his arms around Stoat, grabbing hold of her hands. He carefully cracks it, making sure no bits of shell get in, and then dumps it into the pan carefully.
  118. (2:21:38 AM) Feierzeit: He then steps back to the monitors with Rosalind.
  119. (2:21:54 AM) ShockwaveLover: The flash of light had caught his eye, and now how zooms in on the display of the MRI.
  120. (2:22:29 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind adjusts the monitors as necessary, making sure to capture as much data as possible
  121. (2:22:51 AM) Soulless: Stoat flinches at the touch but allows it after a bit, tense. She watches curiously as the egg sizzles, as if amazed that she just did that with Charon's help. "...What now?"
  122. (2:22:57 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer watches her work the monitors. She's so cute when she's doing science.
  123. (2:23:16 AM) Pryor: Joseph starts gently singing more Irish music to lisa
  124. (2:24:27 AM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan pans out, and switches the focus to Saphir. He looks at the floating sphere, deep in thought.
  125. (2:24:43 AM) Soulless: The images start coming up but something wrong. Maybe it's the crystal, the water-content of plants, or the air-pockets that plants tend to have, but the images come out somewhat distorted.
  126. (2:25:00 AM) Soulless: Roll Science for people looking at the images!
  127. (2:25:13 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind tries to compensate for the distortion
  128. (2:25:15 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Get a spatula!"
  129. (2:25:36 AM) Feierzeit: 6df+9 tagging Modern Major General
  130. (2:25:36 AM) Glacon: Feierzeit: tagging Modern Major General: 9 (6df+9=-, 0, -, +, +, 0)
  131. (2:25:39 AM) Tara_Unknown: Is Physiology still tagged from earlier?
  132. (2:25:40 AM) Soulless: Stoat gets a spatula!
  133. (2:25:49 AM) Soulless: Tara_Unknown: Feel free to tag it again
  134. (2:25:51 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Wait until the edges have hardened and then flip it over!"
  135. (2:26:12 AM) Tara_Unknown: 6df+12 I know how bodies work!
  136. (2:26:12 AM) Glacon: Tara_Unknown: I know how bodies work!: 13 (6df+12=+, 0, +, -, -, +)
  137. (2:27:27 AM) Tara_Unknown: (Yes, that was with Physiology tadgged)
  138. (2:28:13 AM) Wombat_ZzZ left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
  139. (2:29:10 AM) Soulless: Rosalind can see somewhat in the distortion! There are some air pockets connected, as if her lymphatic system was converted into something made for gaseous exchange. The 'veins' focus around her torso, where it becomes too distorted to se only vague shapes such as the crystal itself. Halfway through the MRI of the crystal, the machine begins to malfunction.
  140. (2:29:25 AM) Soulless: Spencer can see a bit of this as well, but not as well obviously.
  141. (2:29:37 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Turn it off"
  142. (2:29:50 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer goes back in and turns off the machine.
  143. (2:29:57 AM) Pryor: "what's going on?"
  144. (2:30:08 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind makes sure to save the images for review later
  145. (2:30:12 AM) Soulless: Lisa is silent as the vines look to begin curling around the machine, thorny and darker than usual. What is going on indeed.
  146. (2:30:29 AM) Feierzeit: "I'm not liking the looks of this..."
  147. (2:30:35 AM) Tara_Unknown: "The machine started to malfunction. I thought it would be best to turn it off"
  148. (2:30:56 AM) Feierzeit: "Lisa, any idea what's going on?"
  149. (2:31:07 AM) Pryor: "lisa? Lisa! can you hear me?"
  150. (2:31:32 AM) Pryor: "spencer, get out of here, now!"
  151. (2:31:54 AM) Soulless: Lisa's nonresponsive. The vines begin to dismantle the machine, tearing shit apart.
  152. (2:32:11 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Lisa? Are you okay?" Rosalind says, concerned
  153. (2:32:12 AM) ShockwaveLover: "Shit." Duncan's watching.
  154. (2:32:12 AM) Soulless: Stoat blinks. "How do I know when the edges get hard?"
  155. (2:32:19 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer runs back into the monitoring room.
  156. (2:32:34 AM) Pryor: "fuck! This isn't good!"
  157. (2:32:38 AM) Tox|Laptop: Security runs in at the commotion!
  158. (2:32:59 AM) ShockwaveLover: He jumps on the radio. <<Security, this is Monitoring. Situation in the lab. Response team needed, ASAP!>>
  159. (2:33:02 AM) Mr_Wilt: "With the spatula! Once you're able to slide it under the edges!"
  160. (2:33:02 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Romeo, get to it." The team splits into two and begins trying to calm Lisa down. The vines, however, block their approach.
  161. (2:33:02 AM) Pryor: Joseph tries yanking at some of the vines in an attempt to get to lisa
  162. (2:33:29 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<Subject is recent recovery, name 'Lisa'.>>
  163. (2:33:34 AM) Soulless: The vines continue dismantling the machine. Lisa is nowhere to be seen in the mass of thorny vines. They begin dripping with an odd substance, black and with the apparent consistency of mucous.
  164. (2:34:09 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Ohgodohgod, I hope she's okay"
  165. (2:34:29 AM) Pryor: "god damn it!" in his attempt to free her, Joseph is no doubt covered in this goop, he tears at the vines regardless "Get me something to cut this with!"
  166. (2:34:29 AM) ShockwaveLover: "Fuck!" He's torn. Should he stay at his post, or go and try to help?
  167. (2:34:38 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind looks paniced
  168. (2:34:57 AM) Pryor: "and get the other researchers out of here!"
  169. (2:35:03 AM) Soulless: Joseph, roll pdef.
  170. (2:35:17 AM) Tox|Laptop: <<Station calling, this is Security Agent Roberson, on-scene. Trying to get this under control and evacuate.>>
  171. (2:35:24 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick ushers people out!
  172. (2:35:31 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer gives Rosalind a quick hug, then runs into the hall.
  173. (2:35:40 AM) Pryor: 6df+7
  174. (2:35:40 AM) Glacon: Pryor: 8 (6df+7=0, -, 0, +, +, 0)
  175. (2:35:52 AM) Soulless: 6df+7
  176. (2:35:53 AM) Glacon: Soulless: 6 (6df+7=+, 0, -, -, +, -)
  177. (2:35:54 AM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan jumps for the radio. <<Roberson, Schwarz. What's the situation? Do you need backup?>>
  178. (2:36:02 AM) Soulless: Joseph is unaffected by the black goop for now.
  179. (2:36:25 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<A response team's on the way, but I can get there in 2 minutes.>>
  180. (2:36:28 AM) Tox|Laptop: <<Schwarz, unknown. Say again, unknown. I may need a Containment team, stat.>>
  181. (2:36:37 AM) Pryor: "You!" joseph points to the nearest security guard, "Give me your knife"
  182. (2:36:54 AM) Tox|Laptop: The agent responds, pulling out his combat knife and surrendering it, hilt-first.
  183. (2:36:56 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<Roger that. I'll call it in.>>
  184. (2:37:11 AM) Pryor: Joseph starts hacking and slicing at the vines like a wild man
  185. (2:37:21 AM) Soulless: Joseph roll.
  186. (2:37:24 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Jesus Christ, Joseph, what are you doing?!"
  187. (2:37:25 AM) Soulless: Melee.
  188. (2:37:30 AM) Pryor: 6df+4
  189. (2:37:30 AM) Glacon: Pryor: 7 (6df+4=+, +, +, 0, 0, 0)
  190. (2:37:44 AM) Soulless: 6df+6
  191. (2:37:44 AM) Glacon: Soulless: 5 (6df+6=0, -, -, +, -, +)
  192. (2:37:45 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<Station, this is Schwarz - Priority 1, I repeat Priority 1 incident in the labs. Add a Containment team to that response unit.>>
  193. (2:38:00 AM) Pryor: joseph ignores everything except his main goal
  194. (2:38:18 AM) Tox|Laptop: <<Schwarz, this is Command. Message received and understood. Response teams en route.>>
  195. (2:38:30 AM) Tara_Unknown: "I was worried about something like this..."
  196. (2:38:34 AM) ShockwaveLover: He hesitates for a second. <<Recommend...recommend defoliants be issued.>>
  197. (2:38:40 AM) Soulless: The vines are tough and thorny but Joseph can rip through them. They seem to only grow in number, far too much for one man to cut down. The MRI's completely dismantled, metal chunks poking out of the vines as they seem to incorporate it into themselves.
  198. (2:38:57 AM) Pryor: "I need backup! start cutting!"
  199. (2:39:24 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<Roberson, she's totally ripped apart the MRI. I can't see to much, but she might be moving on the rest of the lab!>>
  200. (2:39:39 AM) Tox|Laptop: <<Schwarz, I'm not blind. I can see the damned MRI!>>
  201. (2:39:45 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer grabs his sword and runs back in. "I'll help!"
  202. (2:40:05 AM) Tox|Laptop: The two remaining agents and Mick pull their own combat knives and move into position, assisting Joseph.
  203. (2:40:08 AM) Soulless: The vines haven't expanded anywhere else yet, they're just curling into themselves.
  204. (2:40:16 AM) Soulless: Melee, everyone cutting.

  456. (3:14:24 AM) Soulless: Anyone scoring below an 8 feels as if they need to claw themselves out of their own skin, the screaming sensation is nigh-unbearable. Duncan in particular has a strong urge to tear at his ears until he claws out his eardrums.

  479. (3:17:31 AM) Soulless: They don't hurt SLJ, just whip around him wildly, obviously just reacting to outside stimulus as opposed to being on the offensive.

  631. (3:45:38 AM) Pryor: "we tried to dig you out, I'm, I'm so sorry"
  632. (3:46:03 AM) Soulless: "Dig me out?... There's... there's nothing to dig out..."
  633. (3:46:08 AM) Tara_Unknown: "It worked a little, but the crystal countered it. The crystal kept the magic from working when we looked at it, and then you started hurting"
  634. (3:46:16 AM) Soulless: "I am this..."
  635. (3:46:16 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ and Hazmat 2 are still there. Hazmat 1 and 3 are on the ground, out like lights.
  636. (3:46:17 AM) Tox|Laptop: "You are the vines, aren't you now, Lisa?"
  637. (3:46:26 AM) Pryor: "we, we know that now, lisa"
  638. (3:46:33 AM) Soulless: Lisa makes broken noises.
  639. (3:46:45 AM) Pryor: "we.. we all made a terrible mistake"
  640. (3:46:55 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer looks into the mass. Is the crystal visible?
  641. (3:47:04 AM) Soulless: No, no crystal is visible.
  642. (3:47:26 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<Another team's on its way. Cleanup crew also en-route.>>
  643. (3:47:42 AM) ShockwaveLover: He pauses for a second, and his voice breaks a bit.
  644. (3:47:43 AM) Pryor: joseph drops to his knees in front of the mass, sobbing with his head in his hands
  645. (3:47:46 AM) Tox|Laptop: <<Understood.>>
  646. (3:47:51 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<Is...is Lisa alright?>>
  647. (3:47:58 AM) Tox|Laptop: <<....Unknown.>>
  648. (3:48:13 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<...>>
  649. (3:48:24 AM) Sequence: There's an awful, brain-scratching shriek from Mick's pouch, and it starts failing about, light streaming from every seam.
  650. (3:48:30 AM) ShockwaveLover: <<Understood. Monitoring, out.>>
  651. (3:48:58 AM) Soulless: Lisa begins to crawl to Joseph, putting a thorny tendril on Joseph, careful not to hurt him. "I'm sorry..."
  652. (3:48:59 AM) Sequence: It tugs into the air and then slams down against Mick.
  653. (3:49:03 AM) Soulless: "Please don't be sad..."
  654. (3:49:14 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick yelps, jumping like he's been stuck with a pin. He flails, grabbing the lip of the pouch, before he's pummeled into the ground.
  655. (3:49:23 AM) Tox|Laptop: He groans, tugging the pouch open.'
  656. (3:49:26 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Oh, Lisa..."
  657. (3:49:27 AM) Pryor: "It's not you, lass," he sputters "we hurt you, we didn't mean too"
  658. (3:49:30 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer is in tears. He hugs Rosalind, this time more to comfort himself than anything. He needs you, Rose.
  659. (3:49:44 AM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan hasn't cried in years. But as he sits down, the tears hit him like a tidal wave, smashing through his defences.
  660. (3:49:56 AM) Soulless: "It's okay... Everyone makes mistakes. Please don't be sad... I'm sorry..."
  661. (3:49:56 AM) Sequence: Saphir flings herself into Mick's face, screeching horribly and pouring with blinding light.
  662. (3:50:04 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind's a mess herself and is feeling a lot of guilt right now
  663. (3:50:05 AM) Sequence: Luckily for everyone involved, she notices Lisa.
  664. (3:50:08 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick blinks furiously.
  665. (3:50:29 AM) Pryor: Joseph barely reacts to lisa's comfort, he continues sobbing"
  666. (3:50:41 AM) Sequence: She tamps the fuck out of that light and zips over to Lisa. "Lisa hurt?"
  667. (3:50:49 AM) ShockwaveLover: He puts his head in his hands, and sobs, a low, keening cry.
  668. (3:50:59 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick clambers back up his feet. "Yes..Lisa is hurt."
  669. (3:51:07 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Saphir? We made a mistake. Can you help Lisa?"
  670. (3:51:35 AM) Sequence: "What do?"
  671. (3:51:38 AM) Soulless: Lisa pets Joseph and tries her best to comfort everyone. "I'm okay... I think... I'm just a terrible monster... I'm sorry."
  672. (3:51:50 AM) Lurker: The doors open, and a security team storms in along with a familiar, gas mask wearing agent who immediately sets upon those closest to Lisa, and pulls them away. "Anyone who is not containment or security. You are dismissed."
  673. (3:51:50 AM) Tox|Laptop: "[Light of Lapi.] Try it, please."
  674. (3:52:14 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer stumbles as he is pushed out of the area. He doesn't resist, though.
  675. (3:52:18 AM) Sequence: Saphir nuzzles right up to Lisa and starts glowing softly. It's nothing like what she had done before.
  676. (3:52:24 AM) Tara_Unknown: "Lisa, you are not a monster..."
  677. (3:52:25 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick angrily flashes his ID badge, as do the rest of his team. "Romeo squad. We were first on the scene."
  678. (3:52:29 AM) Pryor: "no, no, lisa, you're not, it's that damned crystal" Joseph's tone shifts to one of extreme bitter anger as he mentions the crystal
  679. (3:52:31 AM) Sequence: It's soft and gentle and soothing, like cool water on fevered skin.
  680. (3:52:48 AM) Sequence: Saphir hums along to the light.
  681. (3:53:08 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ huffs. Medics pour in, pulling out those injured and moving them to Medical.
  682. (3:53:08 AM) Soulless: Lisa's tendrils shift to curl within themselves in reaction to the light, slowly enveloping Saphir.
  683. (3:53:09 AM) Lurker: "Away from the SCP." The gas mask agent jerks his head to the side, then looks to Saphir. "Get that away from it, and you-" His hand falls on Joseph's shoulder and pulls him back. "Outside. Now."
  684. (3:53:14 AM) Mr_Wilt: Those included are Hazmats 1 and 3.
  685. (3:53:28 AM) Pryor: joseph just sorta follows, too broken to resist
  686. (3:53:31 AM) Sequence: Saphir keeps humming, the light shifting and shimmering.
  687. (3:53:36 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Sir, begging your pardon, but /that/ has a name."
  688. (3:53:41 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Hey now, Pers." SLJ grumbles.
  689. (3:53:45 AM) Tox|Laptop: "It's Saphir, and she's /helping./"
  690. (3:54:03 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer is uninjured. He brushes off the medics. His breathing is shallow, though.
  691. (3:54:03 AM) Mr_Wilt: "If that little ball of light can make this thing anything less than a bundle of thorns, I'd welcome it."
  692. (3:54:10 AM) ShockwaveLover: "Fuck...fuck." The words can be heard now, through the wracking sobs.
  693. (3:54:35 AM) ShockwaveLover: "Should have been there.."
  694. (3:54:37 AM) Soulless: The tentacles seem to encompass Saphir, curling around it and ignoring the other people. Saphir can't be seen now in the mass. The vines begin to die off, the outer skin curling off into flowers, that die and hit the ground.
  695. (3:54:47 AM) Pryor: joseph stands wiping away tears "Fuck you, I'm staying put"
  696. (3:54:49 AM) Lurker: Perseus looks from SLJ to Mick to Lisa and Saphir. There's a pause, before he turns to the security team he brought. "Observe. At the first sign of hostile activity, incendiary rounds, full-auto."
  697. (3:55:00 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Joseph. Leave. Now."
  698. (3:55:11 AM) Sequence: Saphir hums a bit louder, light making it's way around the tendrils.
  699. (3:55:20 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ gives Joseph a look. "Boy, you really don't want to fuck with the group of men in here."
  700. (3:55:30 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick sets the flamer on the ground.
  701. (3:55:31 AM) Mr_Wilt: "That's some macho bullshit you really don't want to pull."
  702. (3:55:43 AM) Soulless: The last of the tendrils die and it's just Lisa again, holding Saphir tightly and looking so, so sad.
  703. (3:55:47 AM) Lurker: The gas-mask agent turns to face Joseph. "Vacate the immediate area of the incident immediately, or you will be detained for interference in an investigation."
  704. (3:55:47 AM) Pryor: "so kill me, I don't care, the lass needs me"
  705. (3:56:03 AM) Pryor: "i'm not moving"
  706. (3:56:03 AM) Soulless: That same look that says she would cry if she could, but is unallowed even the comfort of her own tears.
  707. (3:56:19 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Joseph. Don't fucking fuck with me. I am ranking security on scene, and I am /ordering/ you to leave."
  708. (3:56:38 AM) Soulless: "It's... It's okay..."
  709. (3:56:42 AM) Soulless: "Please don't hurt hm..."
  710. (3:56:48 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer is with Rosalind outside Research.
  711. (3:56:51 AM) Lurker: "Sir." One of the security team members speaks. Perseus turns around and looks to Lisa. "Ensure it is in good health, then get it to containment."
  712. (3:56:56 AM) Sequence: Saphir makes a low grinding noise, and the light turns sharp, somehow. No arguing.
  713. (3:56:58 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind folds her arms. "I am one of the scientists studying this SCP, and this was the result of part of the study"
  714. (3:56:58 AM) Pryor: Joseph takes a look at lisa, safe and normal now, and sighs "I'm sorry mick, I'll go quietly, just keep her safe"
  715. (3:57:14 AM) Soulless: "I'm sorry..."
  716. (3:57:14 AM) Feierzeit: Redact, he is outside Research alone.
  717. (3:57:16 AM) Tox|Laptop: "You have my word."
  718. (3:57:27 AM) Soulless: Lisa looks so sad.
  719. (3:57:33 AM) Pryor: Joseph complies and leaves the area
  720. (3:57:37 AM) Sequence: The light shoots out and fades again, Saphir humming once more.
  721. (3:57:47 AM) Soulless: Lisa pets Saphir. "Thank you..."
  722. (3:57:57 AM) Lurker: Perseus turns his head to Rosalind. "This incident will be recorded. Study of this SCP will now only be permitted with Level 4A clearance."
  723. (3:58:00 AM) Sequence: "Lisa not hurt now?"
  724. (3:58:11 AM) Soulless: "No... I think I'm alright..." She's singed though.
  725. (3:58:14 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick steps forward and reclaims Saphir. "No, she's all better now. Very good."
  726. (3:58:17 AM) Tara_Unknown: "So am I going to be allowed to continue my studies?"
  727. (3:58:45 AM) Lurker: "Any interactions with the SCP must be signed off by a Director before clearance is given. Attempts to circumvent this restriction will result in detainment."
  728. (3:58:48 AM) Sequence: Saphir flings herself away from Mick and towards Lisa.
  729. (3:58:55 AM) Sequence: Stabby light right the fuck in your eyes, Mick.
  730. (3:59:04 AM) Tox|Laptop: He didn't walk away with her.
  731. (3:59:15 AM) Soulless: Lisa hugs Saphir gentle.
  732. (3:59:18 AM) Tox|Laptop: He just stepped towards them. Not taking her away.
  733. (3:59:23 AM) Soulless: "It's okay. You can go with them... "
  734. (3:59:42 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Saphir, please come with me. We need to make sure Lisa's safe, now."
  735. (4:00:12 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ walks up to Perseus and pats him on the back. "Always one for subtlety."
  736. (4:00:22 AM) Sequence: "Lisa less than Saphir. See light. Now Saphir."
  737. (4:00:23 AM) Lurker: Perseus and the other Security team members begin ensuring the room is secure, and everyone is moved out in an orderly fashion before Lisa is looked over by an arriving medic.
  738. (4:00:37 AM) Lurker: Perseus looks to SLJ. "I am not programmed for subtlety."
  739. (4:00:42 AM) Soulless: Lisa's burned in some places but doesn't seem to bad.
  740. (4:00:50 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick's waiting on Saphir.
  741. (4:00:59 AM) Sequence: Saphir gives not a single fuck about Mick.
  742. (4:01:02 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Of course you aren't."
  743. (4:01:04 AM) Sequence: Lisa is /hers/.
  744. (4:01:07 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer pats Rosalind on the shoulder as she leaves the room. "Sorry about... all of that."
  745. (4:01:11 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind watches, very upset. She reluctantly leaves the area, very angry
  746. (4:01:12 AM) Tox|Laptop: Mick is not contesting this!
  747. (4:01:19 AM) Soulless: Lisa looks confused.
  748. (4:01:25 AM) Soulless: "Will I see them again?"
  749. (4:01:39 AM) Pryor: "Rosalind," joseph is standing outside "tell me you have the images"
  750. (4:01:44 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ looks to the giant plant monster turned little girl.
  751. (4:01:49 AM) Lurker: "You will be closely monitored and tested on with extreme security measures in place, to prevent further incidents."
  752. (4:01:58 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Don't worry, sweetheart. I'm sure you will."
  753. (4:02:00 AM) Feierzeit: "The images were saved."
  754. (4:02:03 AM) Lurker: "Permission will be granted for visiting rights on a case-by-case basis."
  755. (4:02:11 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Sir, begging your pardon...are you sure that's the best way to speak to a little girl?"
  756. (4:02:11 AM) Pryor: Joseph nods
  757. (4:02:14 AM) Lurker: Oh Perseus, you're so charming when you're blunt and cold.
  758. (4:02:24 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ looks at Mick.
  759. (4:02:30 AM) Sequence: Saphir presses herself against Lisa and hums once more, then pulls herself away.
  760. (4:02:31 AM) Lurker: The mask is now staring at Mick. "We are stating protocol."
  761. (4:02:37 AM) Tara_Unknown: Rosalind nods. "I do. I was even able to read some of them"
  762. (4:02:38 AM) Soulless: Lisa looks at SLJ curiously. "Thank you, sir. I'm sorry for being a bother." She looks to Perseus and looks intimidated. "...I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt anyone.."
  763. (4:02:45 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Just let him do this thing, Mick."
  764. (4:02:51 AM) Sequence: "Lisa eyes Saphir now."
  765. (4:02:54 AM) Sequence: She sounds so content.
  766. (4:03:05 AM) Tox|Laptop: "I understand protocol, sir." Went unspoken is what he *doesn't* understand.
  767. (4:03:09 AM) Pryor: "look, there's a chance they'll look past this, there's a chance that we'll be allowed to continue testing, or at the very least, you"
  768. (4:03:10 AM) Soulless: Lisa looks confused and hugs Saphir. "...Yes?"
  769. (4:03:17 AM) Pryor: "don't pass that chance up, rosalind"
  770. (4:03:21 AM) Lurker: "Ensure the SCP is treated for the burns, get it to containment." Perseus instructs the security team, before stalking off.
  771. (4:03:28 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ then turns back to Lisa and offers her a small smile under his bushy beard. "It's alright. You didn't mean it." He ruffles her hair.
  772. (4:03:32 AM) Sequence: "Yes. Is good."
  773. (4:03:48 AM) Feierzeit: "I'm sure they'll let you keep researching her, it's just some paperwork."
  774. (4:03:54 AM) Soulless: "That's good, Saphir." Lisa does not even. She just goes along with it.
  775. (4:04:10 AM) Soulless: Lisa looks up to SLJ. "Okay. I'm really, really sorry..."
  776. (4:04:12 AM) Sequence: Saphir nuzzles Lisa again.
  777. (4:04:13 AM) Lurker: The security team looks to SLJ and Mick, then to Lisa. "You two going to help us escort?"
  778. (4:04:20 AM) Soulless: "I don't think the magic works for me, sir..."
  779. (4:04:29 AM) Pryor: "i have my doubts, considering the bullshit this organization is filled with"
  780. (4:04:30 AM) Tara_Unknown: "I've made sure my records are such that it's obvious that I've been studying her physiology and testing hypotheses about her biological requirements"
  781. (4:05:01 AM) Pryor: "i have a case file similar to that, and I've spent quite a while with her in an attempt to preserve her mental stability
  782. (4:05:04 AM) Pryor: "but rosalind
  783. (4:05:11 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ sighs. "Whelp, I guess I don't have anything better to do. Come here, sweetheart." He gently lifts Lisa up, once she's properly bandaged and cared for by the medic.
  784. (4:05:23 AM) Lurker: SLJ is the best grandpa.
  785. (4:05:29 AM) Pryor: "this is the foundation, and the SCP is just the crystal, they won't care if she dies, so long as they get it."
  786. (4:05:32 AM) Lurker: Lisa can play with his big bushy beard.
  787. (4:05:32 AM) Sequence: Saphir hisses at SLJ and then settles down.
  788. (4:05:37 AM) Soulless: Lisa pets Saphir and smiles. "Saphir, you're very nice..." She's lifted by SLJ. "Oh! What're you doing, sir?"
  789. (4:06:07 AM) Nioki left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88 [Firefox 8.0/20111104165243]).
  790. (4:06:23 AM) Mr_Wilt: "Taking you somewhere a little more safe."
  791. (4:06:39 AM) Feierzeit: Spencer sighs. "I know this doesn't mean much... but I'll see if I can put in a good word. I don't know, maybe it'll help." He seems defeated.
  792. (4:06:44 AM) Tara_Unknown: "And part of studying the crystal is the effects it has while being thrust through a little girl who asked to be able to talk to flowers"
  793. (4:07:11 AM) Pryor: "and? when they've learned all they can?" Joseph raises an eyebrow
  794. (4:07:22 AM) Soulless: "Okay, sir. Please tell them that I'm really, really sorry... I'm a terrible monster..."
  795. (4:07:35 AM) Tox|Laptop: "Lisa, you're not a terrible monster. You couldn't control it."
  796. (4:08:07 AM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan's been relieved. He walks out of the Monitoring room, blood still caked on his ears. His eyes are bloodshot.
  797. (4:08:14 AM) Soulless: "I'm an uncontrollable monster..."
  798. (4:08:21 AM) Soulless: Lisa looks so sad.
  799. (4:08:32 AM) Sequence: "Lisa not monster."
  800. (4:08:40 AM) Pryor: "you know what? I was better off in the GOC"
  801. (4:08:54 AM) Tara_Unknown: "That was part of the notes I have. Trying to determine how to extract the crystal without killing the girl. She could easily be an SCP in her own right if she isn't killed"
  802. (4:09:31 AM) Mr_Wilt: SLJ looks up to the security team. "Lead the way, then."
  803. (4:10:00 AM) Lurker: The team leads Lisa off to another containment room. One that's incredibly simplistic with nothing really defining about it.
  804. (4:10:12 AM) Mr_Wilt: Or so it seems?
  805. (4:10:34 AM) Lurker: Nope. It's a standard humanoid SCP containment chamber. Bed. Chair. Desk. Toilet.
