A Chat With O5-6

9:52:58: <Roget> Lily and Taggart, you both slowly regain consciousness.
19:53:08: <Roget> You're lying on a cold surface
19:54:18: <TheRaven> Taggart groans, instinctively feeling for his gear.
19:54:34: <Roget> Its been removed
19:54:55: <AgentFlowers> Lily curls up instinctively, shivering. "Ungh..."
19:55:41: <Mr_Wilt> Fluorescent lights buzz incessantly from above.
19:55:50: <TheRaven> "Fuck..."
19:56:13: <Mr_Wilt> A voice comes from a little to the left of them. "'Ey."
19:57:38: <TheRaven> "The hell are you?" Taggart tries to stand up.
19:57:50: <AgentFlowers> Lily opens her eyes blinking and squinting in the harsh light, looking for the source of the voice.
19:59:30: <Mr_Wilt> It's a man sitting against the wall, half of his right leg missing, a fleshy stump in its place.
19:59:36: <Mr_Wilt> "Either of you got a cigarette?"
19:59:46: <TheRaven> "The fuck's going on?"
20:00:28: <Mr_Wilt> He shrugs. "You're in trouble, I'd guess. S'the only reason they throw people in here."
20:01:54: <AgentFlowers> "I hate hostage situations..."
20:01:56: <TheRaven> "Oh, someone's gonna be in trouble, but it's not gonna be me."
20:02:38: <Mr_Wilt> "So, neither of you have a cigarette?"
20:02:49: <AgentFlowers> "I don't smoke. Canadian."
20:03:56: <TheRaven> "Nope."
20:04:12: <Mr_Wilt> He sighs. "Shit."
20:05:43: <AgentFlowers> "Where are we?"
20:07:09: <Mr_Wilt> "Some Foundation facility. Don't know which, but it sees like a lot of foot traffic." He motions around the mostly empty cell. "S'been kinda slow, lately, but there's other cells."
20:08:59: <TheRaven> "Foundation? You sure?"
20:09:24: <AgentFlowers> "So this is either an oubliette and we should get comfortable, or they do intend to do something with us eventually and we should just get comfortable."
20:10:04: <AgentFlowers> Lily looks down at herself to make sure she's not wearing an orange jumpsuit.
20:10:22: <Mr_Wilt> She is not. Neither is the gentlemen along the wall.
20:10:25: <Mr_Wilt> 'nor Taggart.
20:10:34: <Mr_Wilt> "I'm pretty sure. They have their badges."
20:11:13: <TheRaven> "Oh, whoever took my sidearm is going to regret that..."
20:12:20: <Mr_Wilt> "So what, you guys, like, Insurgency?"
20:12:37: <TheRaven> "Christ no."
20:13:59: <Mr_Wilt> He looks over their clothes more closely, rubbing his chin.
20:15:03: <AgentFlowers> "At least they didn't strip me..." Lily rubs her bare arms a little to get warm, pulling her bra strap back up on her shoulder.
20:15:43: <Mr_Wilt> "Oh! I got it. You're some auction guy mercs, right?"
20:16:02: <Mr_Wilt> "M and M and uh... G?"
20:16:30: <Mr_Wilt> guys*
20:16:31: <AgentFlowers> "I'm not required to say anything but my name and rank and only in an official interrogation. So, piss off."
20:16:51: <Mr_Wilt> The man puts his hands up. "Jeez, just tryin' to help."
20:17:02: <Mr_Wilt> -help +make conversation
20:17:15: <TheRaven> "Special Task Force 354, if that means anything to you."
20:17:28: <Mr_Wilt> "...government guys?"
20:18:07: <AgentFlowers> Lily elbows Taggart, Jesus, was he asleep during interrogation training?
20:19:18: <TheRaven> "Foundation."
20:21:34: <Mr_Wilt> "Oh, woah. You guys mutiny?"
20:21:52: <Mr_Wilt> He pumps his fist slightly. "Fighting the good fight?"
20:22:09: <TheRaven> "I'm not entirely sure what happened yet."
20:24:58: <Mr_Wilt> "What's that suppose to mean?"
20:26:28: <TheRaven> "Means that last time I knew what was going on, I was back at 354 shooting some kind of parrot monster. Then there was some shit with an MTF on-site, a helicopter, and now I'm here."
20:27:19: <AgentFlowers> Lily scoots backwards to sit against the far wall, hugging her knees to her chest. If Taggart wants to give away classified information to an unknown, what the fuck ever.
20:29:16: <Mr_Wilt> "You lost me at 354."
20:31:22: <TheRaven> "Never mind. You have any idea where we are?"
20:32:05: <Mr_Wilt> He shrugs. "Like I said, I don't know."
20:32:24: <Mr_Wilt> "Maybe like a big Foundation prisoner facility. I haven't seen anything outside of this cell."
20:36:34: <TheRaven> "Nothing?"
20:37:12: <Mr_Wilt> "At least not inside. If you haven't picked up on it, I'm not exactly familiar with how you guys roll."
20:38:02: <TheRaven> "See any landmarks on your way in?"
20:40:14: <Mr_Wilt> "Had a bag over my head."
20:41:05: <TheRaven> "Shit. This...this might be difficult."
20:42:21: <Mr_Wilt> The man cocks an eyebrow at Taggart.
20:45:05: <Mr_Wilt> "You think?"
20:48:05: <TheRaven> "Wouldn't be the first prison break I pulled. But three people doesn't make for much of a riot, and unless you've got a pound of C4 up your ass we don't have any explosives."
20:48:37: <Mr_Wilt> "I really hope you're joking."
20:51:14: <AgentFlowers> "There's only so far a chopper can take us. We're still in the same country."
20:51:34: <TheRaven> "Long story. You ever heard of the Red Pool?"
20:51:39: <AgentFlowers> "Likely the same province too."
20:51:44: <Mr_Wilt> "No."
20:53:33: <AgentFlowers> Lily scowls. "Taggart, shut the FUCK up."
20:53:40: <TheRaven> "Oh, fine."
20:55:03: <AgentFlowers> Lily perks up, a little exhilerated by talking back to a superior. "Wow, that felt good,"
20:56:40: <Mr_Wilt> "She has a point. You are being pretty open."
20:57:09: <Mr_Wilt> He looks at Lily. "Bet you'd have been a good, like, guy, before you mutinied and all."
20:57:39: <TheRaven> "Fuck it, I'm already in prison, how much worse can this get?"
20:57:57: <Mr_Wilt> "Maybe I'm a plant."
20:58:06: <Mr_Wilt> 6df+7 ROLLIN BLUFF
20:58:06: <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: ROLLIN BLUFF: 7 (6df+7=3+, 4-, 3+, 3+, 4-, 4-)
20:58:24: <AgentFlowers> 6df+5 Is he kidding?
20:58:24: <Glacon> AgentFlowers: Is he kidding?: 7 (6df+5=0, 3+, 4-, 3+, 0, 3+)
20:58:46: <TheRaven> 6df+6 percep, right?
20:58:46: <Glacon> TheRaven: percep, right?: 8 (6df+6=0, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-, 3+)
21:00:21: <Mr_Wilt> They see through his farce.
21:02:40: <AgentFlowers> Lily sits back again. "Seriously Taggart, did you flunk out of RTI?"
21:03:15: <AgentFlowers> "I got waterboarded, honest to christ, and I'm not going to let you fuck it up for me."
23:01:57: <Roget> Taggart and Lily, perception
23:02:03: <TheRaven> 6df+6
23:02:04: <Glacon> TheRaven: 5 (6df+6=4-, 4-, 4-, 3+, 3+, 0)
23:02:44: <AgentFlowers> 6df+5
23:02:44: <Glacon> AgentFlowers: 3 (6df+5=4-, 4-, 4-, 4-, 3+, 3+)
23:02:56: <Roget> Taggart, you hear sounds outside the cell
23:03:02: <Roget> sound like something clanking
23:03:16: <TheRaven> "You hear that?"
23:04:26: <Mr_Wilt> "Nope."
23:06:52: <AgentFlowers> Lily sits up from trying to sleep. "What?"
23:06:54: <Roget> The door opens, and two agents walk in. They have a different uniform than the one the MTF wore.
23:07:15: <Roget> "Agent Taggart, Agent MacDonald?"
23:07:23: <AgentFlowers> Lily looks over the uniforms for anything recognizable.
23:07:25: <Mr_Wilt> "And me?"
23:07:34: <Mr_Wilt> The guy sticks his tongue out playfully.
23:07:41: <TheRaven> "That's us."
23:07:43: <Roget> "You stay right where you are, bub."
23:07:55: <Roget> They turn to Taggart and Lily. "Come with us."
23:07:58: <Mr_Wilt> "I'm gonna die of old age at this rate."
23:08:19: <AgentFlowers> "I'll tell them about the falafel." Lily stands up.
23:08:40: <TheRaven> Taggart stands and follows.
23:09:30: <Roget> "We can only hope." The agent wait until Lily and Taggart are outside the cell, then begin escorting them down a dimly lit steel corridor.
23:09:51: <AgentFlowers> Does Lily recognize anything about their uniforms?
23:10:21: <TheRaven> "Either of you want to start explaining what's going on here?"
23:10:45: <AgentFlowers> "Don't bother Taggart, they're probably just the peons."
23:11:30: <Roget> "You'll be learning soon enough."
23:14:09: <AgentFlowers> Lily starts humming softly, looking around at her surroundings.
23:14:40: <Roget> They reach a large, wooden door. The agents open it, to let them in.
23:17:10: <AgentFlowers> Lily stops humming and steps inside.
23:18:19: <TheRaven> Taggart heads in and looks around.
23:18:46: <Roget> it's a small room, painted blue. There is a couch in the center, with a 1950's era television in on a pedestal front of it.
23:19:31: <AgentFlowers> "What do you think, infohazard?"
23:19:49: <Roget> "Go in, please."
23:19:56: <TheRaven> "Probably. Wanna beat the hell out of it?"
23:20:17: <AgentFlowers> "That's GOC talk."
23:25:37: <Roget> The TV flickers on, with this test pattern: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3923260/scptest.jpg
23:27:13: <Mr_Wilt> Minus the 682 picture
23:28:17: <AgentFlowers> "I will be disappointed if this feature isn't brought to us by Winston Cigarettes."
23:30:53: <AgentFlowers> "Hey, what if we just... stand behind the tv?"
23:31:17: <TheRaven> "Or maybe unplug it."
23:31:19: <Roget> The agent shrugs. "Doesn't matter to me."
23:31:30: <Roget> There is no plug in the TV
23:32:27: <AgentFlowers> "Well, if these guys are still with us, the thing is probably not going to shoot death rays or anything."
23:33:38: <Roget> "Sit down, please. You will be spoken to in a moment."
23:34:57: <AgentFlowers> "At least he said please..." Lily sighs and goes around to the front of the couch, sitting down.
23:35:12: <TheRaven> "I'll stand, thanks."
23:35:22: <Roget> "Suit yourself."
23:38:25: <Roget> Is Taggart in the room yet?
23:39:12: <TheRaven> Yeah
23:39:58: <Roget> They leave, shutting the door. As they do, the TV suddenly switches to a black-and-white image of a silhouette
23:41:13: <AgentFlowers> "Hello."
23:41:45: <Roget> "Good evening." The voice sounds heavily crackled and distorted
23:43:21: <AgentFlowers> Lily crosses her arms, waiting.
23:45:47: <Roget> "I'm, uh, sure you're both quite confused about whats been happening recently, and I apologize. We rarely have operations go as poorly as this one did."
23:45:51: <Roget> the screen flickers a bit.
23:46:43: <TheRaven> "Poorly? That's the understatement of the year."
23:47:08: <AgentFlowers> "That is a thing, yeah."
23:48:09: <Roget> "Well, again I apologize."
23:49:23: <TheRaven> "So, would you like to start explaining why we got kidnapped and thrown in a cell with a one-legged man after we covered your task force during a pool event?"
23:50:11: <AgentFlowers> "I really don't want my mom to get one of those we're so sorry letters."
23:50:40: <Roget> "Oh, and before we go on, I should introduce myself. I am O5-6."
23:55:36: <TheRaven> "Well, now I know who to send the bill for my gear to."
23:56:31: <AgentFlowers> "Yeah, I want my bracelet back."
23:56:59: <Roget> O5-6 laughs. "I have to say, in all the time I've been in this position, that is one of the more amusing responses I've gotten to an introduction."
23:58:42: <Roget> "Anyways, onto business.... you were told that your Area was occupied by one of our task forces, to stop the Chaos Insurgency. Is that more or less correct?"
23:59:10: <AgentFlowers> Lily shrugs.
23:59:35: <TheRaven> "Basically."
00:00:35: <Roget> "Well, it isn't completely true. We did sent the task force to your site, but it wasn't to combat Insurgent activity. It was to create it."
00:01:54: <AgentFlowers> "I was starting to get the feeling that the CI was never really there."
00:02:07: <TheRaven> "Hm. Well, that's not quite what I thought, but alright."
00:02:15: <Roget> "The Chaos Insurgency was never there. It doesn't exist."
00:02:39: <AgentFlowers> "...Well then."
00:02:40: <Roget> "It's a fabrication, a farce, whatever you like to call it."
00:03:14: <AgentFlowers> "So, what was the point then?"
00:03:55: <Roget> "The Insurgency is a cover to remove problematic operatives within the Foundation, and to prevent the creation of a real organization like it."
00:05:03: <TheRaven> "And this has what to do with us?"
00:05:19: <Roget> "The staff at your site that were taken as Insurgents were given amnestics, and taken to other facilities around the world."
00:06:17: <Roget> "Well, you wouldn't stop digging. We knew that if you hadn't already guessed the truth, you would know soon."
00:06:44: <AgentFlowers> "And that makes us problematic."
00:06:55: <TheRaven> "If you haven't noticed, we're not idiots and don't have much else to do."
00:07:56: <Roget> "You were problematic, yes."
00:08:26: <Roget> "It was decided that it would be better to brief you, then to have you discover it on your own."
00:08:56: <AgentFlowers> "Because if we did figure it out, we would start questioning the rest of the Foundation."
00:09:48: <Roget> "Precisely."
00:10:09: <TheRaven> "So what now?"
00:10:26: <AgentFlowers> "And you decided that it would be better to make a show of good faith, than to risk us becoming an Insurgency."
00:10:52: <AgentFlowers> "We know too much for you to risk it."
00:10:53: <Roget> "Well, rather then losing clever personnel to amnestic treatment."
00:11:13: <AgentFlowers> Lily smiles at being called clever.
00:13:53: <Roget> "Well now, you've been briefed. The question is, do you want to keep this information, or not?"
00:14:30: <TheRaven> "Ideally."
00:15:26: <Roget> "Keeping it means you're never going to leave work on Keter-class anomalies."
00:16:43: <AgentFlowers> "And not keeping it?"
00:17:43: <Roget> "You'll be given amnestics, and returned to your Area as normal."
00:18:06: <TheRaven> "What about the rest of the team?"
00:18:44: <Roget> "We have dismissed them as a potential threat."
00:19:57: <AgentFlowers> Lily leans back, chewing on her lower lip. "We'd be with the Foundation for the rest of our lives?"
00:19:58: <TheRaven> Taggart looks over at Lily. "What are you thinking?"
00:20:32: <Roget> "Yes, you will."
00:21:42: <AgentFlowers> "Never rotating out...never having kids...?"
00:22:23: <Roget> "Never. You will secure, contain, and protect until the day you die."
00:22:39: <Roget> "Sometimes we will remember you, but those days will not be often."
00:26:02: <AgentFlowers> She goes silent, looking down at the worn knees of her pants.
00:26:12: <TheRaven> "Fuck..."
00:26:55: <AgentFlowers> "I...I wanted to get married someday..."
00:27:41: <Roget> "I'm sorry. We tried to prevent this."
00:28:53: <AgentFlowers> Lily jumps up off the couch, her voice cracking slightly as she screams at the television. "Exactly what part of this is supposed to make us not hate your lying guts!?"
00:29:20: <Roget> "Telling the truth."
00:29:27: <Roget> The screen flickers again.
00:30:02: <AgentFlowers> "Your 'truth' is faulty!"
00:31:19: <Roget> "If you don't like it, there is still time to forget. You can still have as normal a life as circumstance will allow."
00:32:52: <AgentFlowers> "We're not fucking guinea pigs! We're people! We fucking bleed for this Foundation!"
00:33:54: <AgentFlowers> "We bleed and kill and DIE because we believe that we're doing the right thing!"
00:34:59: <TheRaven> Taggart is apparently deep in thought, and assuming it wasn't confiscated when they arrived, turning Devlin's locket between his fingers.
00:35:08: <Roget> "You are doing the right thing. If we were not fighting this battle, it would not be fought at all."
00:36:20: <AgentFlowers> "No, WE fight. You sit at a desk and sign away our lives!" Tears are streaming down her flushed cheeks now, hands clenched into shaking fists.
00:37:34: <Roget> "Do you know what we give up as O5's? Every day, we have to let things like this happen. Sign the lives of a thousand men to a course that doesn't matter. We do it every day."
00:38:12: <AgentFlowers> "It's easy to give up what you never have to look at!" She spits venom with her words.
00:39:22: <TheRaven> "Oh boo-fucking-hoo. Do you know what we have to go through? That goddamned pool forced me to kill my own best friend in November."
00:42:56: <Roget> "I do know. I've seen my daughter become a twisted abomination, because of a decision I made. I've buried my wife for this Foundation. " the silhouette hangs its head.
00:43:26: <AgentFlowers> "So don't take away my children!"
00:43:35: <Roget> "You have the choice."
00:43:59: <TheRaven> "How much would we forget?"
00:44:45: <Roget> "This meeting, a few other things about the Task force, but nothing beyond that."
00:46:13: <AgentFlowers> Lily finally crumbles, crying angrily as she kicks at the pedestal.
00:48:02: <AgentFlowers> "I hate you! I hate you!"
00:48:59: <Roget> "I'm sorry."
00:49:59: <TheRaven> "What do you think, Lily?"
00:51:36: <AgentFlowers> She kicks out at the pedestal again, hard, before dropping back into the couch with her arms folded on her knees, sobbing into them.
00:54:42: <Roget> The screen flickers, goes to the test pattern, then back to O5-6.
00:55:17: <TheRaven> "What's with the signal interference?"
00:56:16: <Roget> "That is not relevant."
00:59:07: <TheRaven> "..."
00:59:56: <AgentFlowers> Lily coughs, making herself nauseous from crying.
01:01:05: <TheRaven> He eyes the guards. Weapons, equipment, uniforms, anything out of the ordinary?
01:01:52: <Roget> The guards aren't in the room.They're on the other side of the door they came ni.
01:02:51: <TheRaven> Oh. Well, he considers their appearance and what he's seen of the site. How consistent would it be with the Foundation facilities he's seen before?
01:03:29: <Roget> it looks very modernized, but similar in basic structure.
01:05:05: <TheRaven> Bad comms reception, strange-looking facility..."Could we have a moment to discuss this in private?"
01:05:22: <Roget> "We have all the time in the world."
01:06:22: <TheRaven> "Private as in without you watching."
01:08:41: <Roget> The TV turns back to the test pattern.
01:09:38: <TheRaven> Taggart leans over to Lily. He whispers. "I think there's something sketchy going on here."
01:11:17: <AgentFlowers> Lily sniffles and sits up, rubbing at her eyes. "T-Taggart?"
01:11:47: <TheRaven> "Doesn't something about this whole setup feel off to you?"
01:26:01: <AgentFlowers> "What do you mean?"
01:26:45: <TheRaven> "For one thing, what the hell's an O5 doing talking to a pair of security agents from a site in the ass-end of nowhere?"
01:28:10: <AgentFlowers> She stops and thinks about it. "Is there a way to make sure?"
01:28:57: <TheRaven> "I might have something. Came up a couple times over the past few months."
01:30:15: <TheRaven> He backs up to the door and quietly tries the handle.
01:31:17: <Roget> It's locked
01:31:40: <TheRaven> Which way does it open, in or out?
01:33:09: <Roget> In
01:33:24: <TheRaven> He leans against it, bracing it.
01:33:34: <TheRaven> "Get the TV back up."
01:33:59: <AgentFlowers> She nods. "Hello? O5?"
01:35:29: <Roget> The Tv flicks back to life.
01:35:33: <Roget> "Have you made a decision?"
01:36:26: <TheRaven> "We've just got one more question." He stares the shadowy figure down. "Does the black moon howl?"
01:38:39: <Roget> "No, but the sparrows call is sweet."
01:38:43: <Roget> The screen flickers
01:38:52: <Roget> "Only when waning."
01:39:07: <Roget> Another flicker
01:39:11: <Roget> "If the stars are not too busy."
01:39:31: <AgentFlowers> "...Uh?"
01:39:42: <Roget> "It only whispers."
01:39:49: <TheRaven> "Lily, if you'd kindly kick the TV in, I believe it's time for us to go."
01:40:32: <Roget> "Not a good idea."
01:40:43: <Roget> "But go ahead, if you want."
01:40:50: <AgentFlowers> Lily stands up and whirls on the ball of her left foot, her right leg snapping out in a vicious side kick at the TV.
01:40:59: <Roget> Roll ath
01:41:07: <TheRaven> "Oh, it's a very good idea." Strength to knock the door open?
01:41:21: <Roget> yeh
01:41:42: <TheRaven> 6df+10 tagging I Know What I'm Doing, assuming AP has regenerated since last night
01:41:43: <Glacon> TheRaven: tagging I Know What I'm Doing, assuming AP has regenerated since last night: 13 (6df+10=3+, 3+, 0, 0, 0, 3+)
01:42:50: <AgentFlowers> Melee?
01:42:59: <Roget> yes
01:44:06: <AgentFlowers> 6df+7 tagging Vigilamus pro Te
01:44:07: <Glacon> AgentFlowers: tagging Vigilamus pro Te: 9 (6df+7=4-, 3+, 3+, 0, 3+, 0)
01:46:12: <Roget> The TV is smashed, and begins to spark and smoke
01:46:33: <Roget> The door is unlocked, and swings open. The agents are standing at the door.
01:46:44: <Roget> "Hey!" they raise their weapons.
01:47:38: <TheRaven> Where does Taggart's kick end up, then?
01:48:36: <Roget> The guards are standing outside the doors range.
01:51:13: <Roget> redact
01:51:29: <Roget> Taggart hits one of the guards, knocking him to the ground.
01:52:01: <TheRaven> He scoops up the guard's weapon, and points it at the other.
01:52:28: <AgentFlowers> Does the TV have antennas?
01:52:38: <AgentFlowers> Did it, rather?
01:52:46: <Roget> no
01:52:58: <AgentFlowers> Damn.
01:53:20: <Roget> The guard raises his weapon back. "Think about what you're doing here."
01:53:43: <TheRaven> "Explain who the hell you're working for, because it sure as hell isn't the Foundation."
01:54:54: <Roget> "This is the Foundation. You're in Overwatch Command."
01:55:22: <AgentFlowers> Lily goes over to the guard on the floor.
01:55:59: <Roget> he's unconscious
01:56:10: <AgentFlowers> Does he have a sidearm?
01:57:10: <TheRaven> "Then why does nothing here match up with any other site I've seen, and why did your 'O5' feel the need to give a half dozen responses to a Foundation sign-countersign?"
01:58:03: <Roget> "Of course we're not going to match up to other sites! This is /the/ command site!"
01:58:57: <TheRaven> He lowers the gun a bit.
01:59:23: <TheRaven> "Do you have an ID?"
01:59:47: <Roget> "If you want to talk about this, lay down your arms."
01:59:48: <AgentFlowers> Can Lily find the ID of the unconcious guy?
02:00:11: <Roget> Perception
02:00:24: <AgentFlowers> 6df+5
02:00:24: <Glacon> AgentFlowers: 5 (6df+5=4-, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3+)
02:00:40: <TheRaven> "You too." He lowers the gun to a standard carry position.
02:00:49: <Roget> She finds a standard Foundation ID
02:01:11: <AgentFlowers> "Um, Taggart?"
02:01:53: <TheRaven> "Now, if you're Foundation, what the hell's going on?"
02:02:47: <AgentFlowers> "Taggart, I think they are Foundation. This is a security ID."
02:02:54: <TheRaven> He nods.
02:03:15: <Roget> "You're here to be given amnestics, and returned to your Area."
02:03:43: <TheRaven> "Right, I gathered that. But what the hell was with the chopper stunt, and why did you only grab us?"
02:04:00: <AgentFlowers> "So if we had refused your TV robots offer and chosen to keep the knowledge, what, you would have terminated us?"
02:04:36: <Roget> "... Yes, you would've been."
02:04:54: <AgentFlowers> "Oh, this is some kind of bullshit,"
02:05:42: <AgentFlowers> "Now I want to shoot you in the foot or something on principle. Taggart, at least let me kick him in the shin,"
02:08:09: <TheRaven> Taggart groans. "You idiots really need to get better at not looking like you're up to something. Seriously, you gas us in a helicopter, throw us in a cell and expect us to believe everything you say?"
02:08:42: <Roget> "Well sorry, we didn't expect things to go down the way they did."
02:09:16: <TheRaven> "So, what now?"
02:09:50: <AgentFlowers> "This is why you're a hall grunt, and we do the actual difficult work. Fucking...Beaureaucrats, couldn't organize a two car funeral half a block from the cemetery..."
02:10:09: <Roget> "I think you're probably going to be in a lot of trouble."
02:10:33: <TheRaven> "Yeah, that's nothing new. Your friend here's alive, by the way."
02:11:07: <TheRaven> "I'm guessing amnestics and back to Keter duty?"
02:11:13: <Roget> He says nothing, but indicates for them to move down the corridor.
02:11:47: <AgentFlowers> Lily makes sure to step on his foot. "Oops, sorry."
02:12:13: <TheRaven> "Don't suppose the head of that MTF is around here, is he? If you're gonna shoot me, I'd like to at least offer some constructive criticism first."
02:12:39: <Roget> "Not a good time for jokes, bub."
02:13:19: <TheRaven> He drops the gun. "No, seriously, whoever trained those guys is a bigger liability to the Foundation than either of us."
02:13:35: <AgentFlowers> "Oh, you do not get to use the word bub. You are not worthy of the most famous Canadian superhero."
02:14:42: <Roget> "Move down the hall."
02:15:14: <TheRaven> Taggart walks. "I'm not joking, those guys let me into highly sensitive areas twice without checking me for weapons."
02:17:14: <TheRaven> "Could've taken down that chopper in a heartbeat last night. Oh, and I better get that pistol back. Damn thing costs more than I'd have made in a month in my army days."
02:19:11: <Roget> "Your possessions will be returned when you go back to your Area."
02:20:05: <TheRaven> "Good. Any chance you guys have a pile of .303 ammo lying around? Realized last night how much I hate that bloody Parker-Hale they issued me. Or a spare M14, that'd be even better."
02:23:27: <Roget> They arrive at a large, sterile medical chamber. Two adjoining devices appear to be made to allow one human being to fit in each. Several doctors are in the room, operating equipment.
02:24:37: <Roget> The agent directs them to the devices. "Get in these."
02:25:47: <TheRaven> Taggart glances at Loren.
02:26:29: <Gara> That is really unlikely.
02:31:20: <Roget> "Are you getting in, or what?"
02:31:24: <TheRaven> "Fuck it, let's go." Taggart kisses the ever-present locket, and gets into the device.
02:32:17: <Roget> Several doctors come over and interface with some control panels.
02:32:29: <Roget> Taggart, you start to feel woozy.
02:32:31: <AgentFlowers> Lily steps into the thing, following Taggart's lead.
02:32:45: <Roget> The same happens to her.
02:34:48: <Roget> They both start to get tunnel vision, and eventually lose consciousness. When they wake up, they will be in the medical bay of 354, and will remember having been brought there by the MTF after the incident with the bird. They will have no recollection of the events at Overwatch. Their equipment will be in their prefabs.
