  1. Alivi: "How isolated is this chamber?"
  2. [7:48pm] Pres: The handler speaks up "Reinforced concrete and armored glass. It can be locked down if we need to."
  3. [7:48pm] Alivi: "Alright..."
  4. [7:48pm] Snowshoe: Something splashes wetly from inside, and you hear the sound of metal thunking against a wall.
  5. [7:48pm] Alivi: Eriko removes her mask
  6. [7:49pm] Pres: Chernigov looks annoyed at Eriko. He picks up a microphone.
  7. [7:49pm] Alivi: <<Attention Security, Potential Incident in Research>>
  8. [7:50pm] Snowshoe: A thick black mass about three feet wide slams against the inside of the observation window. It vibrates, but holds.
  9. [7:50pm] Roget: <<Eri?>>
  10. [7:50pm] Alivi: Eriko steps back in shock.
  11. [7:50pm] Pres: <Attention site security, this is Dr. Chernigov. We have a D-Class subject attempting to escape Isolation Chamber B. Subject is infected with a highly contagious pathogen and is causing damage to the test chamber.>
  12. [7:50pm] Pres: Chernigov raises an eyebrow at it.
  13. [7:51pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at the doctor annoyed.
  14. [7:51pm] AgentFlowers: <<Agent MacDonald enroute, how long can you hold out?>>
  15. [7:51pm] Pres: <Respond immediately.>
  16. [7:51pm] Snowshoe: The blob slides off the glass, and you hear it splash as it hits the ground. A spray of black liquid covers part of the glass, splashing against it.
  17. [7:51pm] Pres: Someone says something about chemical decontamination sprinklers not working. A junior researcher is passing out masks.
  18. [7:52pm] Aphex_: <<McCallahan, en route.>> he heads to Research.
  19. [7:52pm] Gara: Loren mutters a curse under her breath..
  20. [7:52pm] TheRaven: <<On the way. Hold tight.>>
  21. [7:52pm] TheRaven: Taggart takes off towards research, pulling on his gas mask.
  22. [7:52pm] Alivi: <<It is reinforced concrete and glass that is armored. Decontamination sprinklers may be not working.>>
  23. [7:52pm] Pres: Chernigov removes a pistol from his briefcase and thumbs the safety off.
  24. [7:53pm] AgentFlowers: Lily ties her bandanna over her nose and mouth as she heads down.
  25. [7:53pm] Roget: <<Doctor Bushnell, heading in to treat any possible injuries.>>
  26. [7:53pm] Alivi: <<Ralph for now we need security, overcrowding makes it dangerous.>>
  27. [7:53pm] Pres: "A fascinating result, don't you think?" he asks Eriko. "We never observed this much rapid pathogen production in the mammalian tests."
  28. [7:54pm] Alivi: Eriko nods, "It…..is….." She seems uneasy, "Also it seems more violent."
  29. [7:54pm] Snowshoe: Something metal thunks against the inside of the glass. Perception, Eriko.
  30. [7:54pm] Alivi: 6df+8
  31. [7:54pm] Glacon: Alivi: 11 (6df+8=+, +, 0, +, +, -)
  32. [7:54pm] AgentFlowers: <<Medical, keep clear of the area, we'll call you in when it's contained or neutralized.>>
  33. [7:55pm] Pres: Command cuts in. <<All units, this is a potential biohazard event. Noncombatants are ordered to clear the area immediately.>>
  34. [7:56pm] Gara: Loren takes this as confirmation to stay the fuck away.
  35. [7:56pm] Snowshoe: You barely catch a glimpse of the metal object before it's yanked back into the cell, but you recognize the shape of the hooks from prefab 12.
  36. [7:56pm] Roget: Ralph unhappily stops, and stays where he is.
  37. [7:56pm] Alivi: "Impossible!"
  38. [7:56pm] Alivi: Eriko quickly approches the glass to try and see where on earth it came from.
  39. [7:57pm] Pres: <<If you believe you have been exposed, containment teams are en route to the entrance of the research block. They will be setting up the decontamination facilities.>>
  40. [7:57pm] Alivi: "Something might be breaking in to take our subject!"
  41. [7:57pm] TheRaven: Do the security people arrive?
  42. [7:57pm] AgentFlowers: The three security agents are presumably making their way down to the research bunker?
  43. [7:57pm] Pres: "Fascinating. Was that a hook?"
  44. [7:57pm] Alivi: <<Anyone familiar with Pre-fab 12, hooks have been spotted in the enclosure.>>
  45. [7:57pm] Alivi: Eriko nods.
  46. [7:57pm] Snowshoe: Security is en-route. Christ rec is far away.
  47. [7:57pm] Snowshoe: Eriko, the hook slams against the inside of the glass inches away from your face. The glass spiderwebs.
  48. [7:57pm] TheRaven: <<The hell are you still doing in there, Eriko? Get out!>>
  49. [7:57pm] Alivi: "I remember once a guy said do not touch the hooks because they make you forget. But after he was thrown down to the bottom."
  50. [7:58pm] Pres: <<Negative. Dr. Ishikawa is providing valuable information.>>
  51. [7:58pm] Alivi: Eriko quickly steps back from the glass. "Dr.Chernigov…"
  52. [7:58pm] Pres: Security, you're headed down the long corridor into Containment now.
  53. [7:59pm] AgentFlowers: Presumably the elevators lock down when there's a red alert, so Lily is fucking vaulting these stairs.
  54. [7:59pm] Alivi: <<Glass is cracking.>>
  55. [7:59pm] Pres: Chernigov removes his labcoat almost delicately and hangs it on the back of a chair. "Double-check your mask seals" he says to her.
  56. [8:00pm] Alivi: Eriko nods. She does the same as he does, she checks her mask seals.
  57. [8:00pm] Puppetmaster: June arrives in medical and starts prepping things for potential injury.
  58. [8:00pm] Pres: There's a decon shower going at the entrance to the "spoke" where the test is taking place.
  59. [8:00pm] Aphex_: Collin is vaulting the guardrails from time to time, hopefully making the trip a bit faster.
  60. [8:01pm] Snowshoe: The hook is pulled back away from the glass. You hear the sounds of more metal thunking against a wall inside, a very large splash, and then silence.
  61. [8:01pm] Pres: At the entrance to containment, sorry. A man in a hazmat suit waves the poolboys through.
  62. [8:01pm] Alivi: Eriko approaches the glass again, trying to see inside.
  63. [8:01pm] TheRaven: Taggart hurries in, sidearm drawn.
  64. [8:02pm] Pres: Taggart, it's the third spoke from the right.
  65. [8:02pm] Aphex_: Collin follows up, primary at low ready.
  66. [8:02pm] AgentFlowers: Fuck sidearms, Lily knows what's being experimented on. She's bringing Annie, burst fire ON.
  67. [8:02pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill is alerted, and is making his way there. He's a little behind the others. Alert means rifle comes with.
  68. [8:02pm] Pres: The corridor is another 30 meters or so of faceless concrete and abandoned checkpoints.
  69. [8:03pm] Alivi: Can Eriko roll perception to see in?
  70. [8:03pm] PaulS_laptop: <<Status?>>
  71. [8:03pm] Alivi: <<Silent right now...>>
  72. [8:04pm] Snowshoe: Eriko, you can't see shit no matter how good your eyes are.
  73. [8:04pm] Alivi: <<It is too dark to see.>>
  74. [8:04pm] TheRaven: <<That seems like a bad sign.>>
  75. [8:04pm] PaulS_laptop: <<Lights down, or part of the test?>>]
  76. [8:04pm] Alivi: <<Not part of test. Lights not down that I know of. Too much ash.>>
  77. [8:04pm] Pres: Chernigov has taken a few steps back. That's the door right there, Poolboys.
  78. [8:04pm] AgentFlowers: "No shit, Sherlock?" Lily grinds out through gritted teeth at Taggart.
  79. [8:05pm] Alivi: Eriko still remains near the glass.
  80. [8:05pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill has caught up by now
  81. [8:05pm] Strife joined the chat room.
  82. [8:05pm] TheRaven: He opens the door. "Status!"
  83. [8:05pm] Snowshoe: Eriko, agility.
  84. [8:05pm] Alivi: 6df+6
  85. [8:05pm] Glacon: Alivi: 3 (6df+6=0, +, -, -, -, -)
  86. [8:08pm] Snowshoe: Eriko, the glass explodes right in front of your stupid face. -1 body, and you get knocked on your ass as the back end of a hook hits you in the chest, then is pulled back into the enclosure. Ash flows out into the room.
  87. [8:08pm] AgentFlowers: "ERIKO!"
  88. [8:08pm] Snowshoe: It occurs to you that GTFO /may/ be the best course of action here.
  89. [8:08pm] TheRaven: "Shit! Everyone, out!"
  90. [8:09pm] Alivi: Eriko shakes her head. "I'm okay! Everyone out."
  91. [8:09pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill is in the ass end of the group. "Fuck"
  92. [8:09pm] PaulS_laptop: "Was that armored glass?"
  93. [8:09pm] TheRaven: "Get her to med ASAP!"
  94. [8:09pm] Alivi: Eriko staggers up.
  95. [8:09pm] AgentFlowers: "All research, to decon! Move it people!"
  96. [8:09pm] TheRaven: Taggart holsters the 1911 and unslings his rifle. This is gonna be ugly.
  97. [8:09pm] Pres: Chernigov snatches up one of the laptops and makes for the door.
  98. [8:10pm] Pres: He keeps his pistol pointed at the broken glass as he does so.
  99. [8:10pm] Snowshoe: Eriko manages to lift herself up. Black water surges up from inside the testing enclosure and into the room. You still can't see inside the chamber.
  100. [8:10pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill's rifle comes up
  101. [8:10pm] Alivi: "This…I never see before…."
  102. [8:10pm] Puppetmaster: June finishes prepping things in medical and puts on a mask and gloves.
  103. [8:10pm] Aphex_: Collin readies his rifle.
  104. [8:11pm] AgentFlowers: "I said MOVE IT, Doc!" Lily gives Chernigov a hard shove OUT.
  105. [8:11pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at the security team. "We all must move out."
  106. [8:11pm] Snowshoe: Where is everybody at right now?
  107. [8:11pm] Alivi: Eriko is whereever she landed.
  108. [8:11pm] PaulS_laptop: "You all first."
  109. [8:11pm] Alivi: "Not leaving without you."
  110. [8:12pm] AgentFlowers: "OUT!" Lily barks at Eriko. Security doesn't leave until the eggheads are safe.
  111. [8:12pm] PaulS_laptop: "we'll be right behind you, now go"
  112. [8:12pm] Snowshoe: Anybody inside the room, agility or pdef.
  113. [8:12pm] TheRaven: 6df+7 pdef!
  114. [8:12pm] Glacon: TheRaven: pdef!: 6 (6df+7=-, -, 0, 0, 0, +)
  115. [8:12pm] Pres: Chernigov is shoved, out. He begins making his way to decontamination, tapping out notes on his laptop. Radical structural reshaping, yes, direct action by the causative agent.
  116. [8:12pm] AgentFlowers: 6df+6 catlike grace
  117. [8:12pm] Glacon: AgentFlowers: catlike grace: 7 (6df+6=-, -, +, 0, +, +)
  118. [8:12pm] Aphex_: 6df+7 Agility!
  119. [8:12pm] Alivi: 6df+6 agility towards door
  120. [8:12pm] Glacon: Aphex_: Agility!: 6 (6df+7=0, -, +, +, -, -)
  121. [8:12pm] Glacon: Alivi: agility towards door: 5 (6df+6=-, 0, +, 0, 0, -)
  122. [8:12pm] Pres: He's got to get this all down while it's still fresh.
  123. [8:13pm] PaulS_laptop: 6sd+5 defense!
  124. [8:13pm] PaulS_laptop: 6df+5
  125. [8:13pm] Glacon: PaulS_laptop: 9 (6df+5=+, +, +, -, +, +)
  126. [8:13pm] Pres: He stops to radio them. <<Agents, secure papers and recording devices before you leave. The data is vital to my research.>>
  127. [8:14pm] Pres: Most of it should have been dumped to the server, but there's a few lab notebooks and old-fashioned voice recorders.
  128. [8:14pm] AgentFlowers: Lily ignores him, too busy dodging.
  129. [8:14pm] TheRaven: "...shall we tell him to fuck off?"
  130. [8:14pm] Snowshoe: Taggart, the black water surges up from the floor and hits you in a wave. You manage to hold your ground, but you're wet and staggered.
  131. [8:14pm] Alivi: "No, he is right otherwise this is for nothing."
  132. [8:15pm] TheRaven: "Eriko what the fuck are you still doing here, go!"
  133. [8:15pm] AgentFlowers: "OUT. NOW." Lily uses her /army/ voice on Eriko for the first time ever.
  134. [8:15pm] Alivi: "We have to get the research things!"
  135. [8:16pm] Alivi: Eriko backs up a bit as Lily speaks to her in that tone.
  136. [8:16pm] Snowshoe: Lily, Collin, you manage to dodge the brunt of the wave. The black water is pooling inside the room now, it's about two inches deep.
  137. [8:16pm] PaulS_laptop: "We'll get them"
  138. [8:16pm] AgentFlowers: 6df+8 tagging Terrible Affliction for intimidation, you do not argue with the army voice.
  139. [8:16pm] Glacon: AgentFlowers: tagging Terrible Affliction for intimidation, you do not argue with the army voice.: 7 (6df+8=-, +, -, -, 0, +)
  140. [8:17pm] TheRaven: Taggart starts grabbing all the research stuff and cramming it into pockets and pouches. "Cover me!"
  141. [8:17pm] Alivi: 6df+8 tagging don't have time for this
  142. [8:17pm] Glacon: Alivi: tagging don't have time for this: 9 (6df+8=+, -, 0, -, +, +)
  143. [8:18pm] Alivi: Eriko shakes her head. She goes and quickly tries to pick up the notes and whatnot before the water can get to them.
  144. [8:18pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill starts picking up what he can, whilst covering taggart
  145. [8:19pm] Snowshoe: More water surges out from the enclosure. Everyone inside the room, your spidey senses are tingling like hell. Taggart, pdef or agility again.
  146. [8:19pm] AgentFlowers: Lily has no time for these shenanigans. She attempts to haul Eriko bodily out of the room.
  147. [8:19pm] AgentFlowers: 6df+8 strength, tagging Leave No Man Behind.
  148. [8:19pm] Glacon: AgentFlowers: strength, tagging Leave No Man Behind.: 8 (6df+8=+, 0, -, +, 0, -)
  149. [8:20pm] Alivi: Can Eriko resist?
  150. [8:20pm] PaulS_laptop: "Uh guys, how are we going to contain this?"
  151. [8:20pm] Snowshoe: Roll strength or agility in opposition, eriko.
  152. [8:20pm] Alivi: "You can't!"
  153. [8:20pm] Alivi: 6df+6 agilty
  154. [8:20pm] Glacon: Alivi: agilty: 4 (6df+6=0, -, 0, 0, -, 0)
  155. [8:20pm] Snowshoe: You're hauled.
  156. [8:20pm] Alivi: "Lily!!!"
  157. [8:20pm] Snowshoe: Agility, lily.
  158. [8:20pm] TheRaven: 6df+7
  159. [8:20pm] Glacon: TheRaven: 5 (6df+7=0, +, 0, -, -, -)
  160. [8:20pm] AgentFlowers: Lily ignores her protests and drags her.
  161. [8:21pm] Snowshoe: Lily, agility.
  162. [8:21pm] AgentFlowers: 6df+6 agility
  163. [8:21pm] Glacon: AgentFlowers: agility: 6 (6df+6=+, -, 0, 0, -, +)
  164. [8:21pm] Snowshoe: 6df+8 Also that hook thing
  165. [8:21pm] Glacon: Snowshoe: Also that hook thing: 9 (6df+8=0, -, +, +, 0, 0)
  166. [8:21pm] Snowshoe: Taggart, the hook flies out from the blackness inside the observation chamber and nails you in the chest, knocking you on your back into the water. -1 body.
  167. [8:22pm] Alivi: "Taggart!"
  168. [8:22pm] TheRaven: "Sonofabitch!"
  169. [8:22pm] TheRaven: He gets the hell up out of the water. "Evac, now!"
  170. [8:22pm] Snowshoe: Lily, the water surges around you as you drag Eriko, pulling both you and her down into the pool.
  171. [8:22pm] Snowshoe: Eriko, you drop with her.
  172. [8:22pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill lunges to recover them
  173. [8:23pm] TheRaven: Taggart decides it's time for a new plan.
  174. [8:23pm] PaulS_laptop: "Taggart. A hand?!"
  175. [8:23pm] AgentFlowers: Lily grits her teeth and keeps a hold on Eriko, trying to get back to her feet.
  176. [8:23pm] PaulS_laptop: 6df+5 strength. Bill grabs for lily first. Fuck the egghead.
  177. [8:23pm] Glacon: PaulS_laptop: strength. Bill grabs for lily first. Fuck the egghead.: 9 (6df+5=+, -, +, +, +, +)
  178. [8:23pm] TheRaven: 6df+10 he starts hammering 7.62 rounds into the testing chamber, trying to keep whatever is in there, in there.
  179. [8:23pm] Glacon: TheRaven: he starts hammering 7.62 rounds into the testing chamber, trying to keep whatever is in there, in there.: 13 (6df+10=+, +, -, 0, +, +)
  180. [8:24pm] Snowshoe: 6df+7 pdef
  181. [8:24pm] Glacon: Snowshoe: pdef: 7 (6df+7=-, 0, 0, +, -, +)
  182. [8:25pm] Snowshoe: Taggart, you hear your bullet strike something soft. The water stills, and lily and eriko are hauled by Bill.
  183. [8:25pm] Snowshoe: Taggart, agility.
  184. [8:26pm] AgentFlowers: Lily resumes dragging Eriko out of the chamber and into the corridor. "Everyone out, we'll blow the chamber!"
  185. [8:26pm] TheRaven: 6df+10 tagging I Know What I'm Doing for GTFO
  186. [8:26pm] Glacon: TheRaven: tagging I Know What I'm Doing for GTFO: 10 (6df+10=+, -, 0, +, -, 0)
  187. [8:26pm] Snowshoe: 6df+8
  188. [8:26pm] Glacon: Snowshoe: 7 (6df+8=0, -, +, +, -, -)
  189. [8:27pm] Alivi: Eriko walks into the corridor with Lily. "Everyone else..."
  190. [8:27pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill is GTFOing.
  191. [8:27pm] AgentFlowers: "We're handling it, get to Decon, NOW."
  192. [8:27pm] PaulS_laptop: he stops and turns to cover taggart
  193. [8:27pm] Alivi: "But….you can't stay there.. Please. Come with me."
  194. [8:27pm] PaulS_laptop: 6df+7 Cover taggart from the doorway!
  195. [8:27pm] Glacon: PaulS_laptop: Cover taggart from the doorway!: 6 (6df+7=-, 0, +, -, +, -)
  196. [8:27pm] Snowshoe: Taggart, you manage to throw yourself out of the room. You feel the water begin to harden around your feet, but you manage to leap through the doorway before you stick.
  197. [8:27pm] Snowshoe: The hell are you shooting?
  198. [8:28pm] AgentFlowers: "Go, we'll be behind you!"
  199. [8:28pm] PaulS_laptop: general direction of whatever the fuck
  200. [8:28pm] TheRaven: He slams the door closed.
  201. [8:28pm] PaulS_laptop: "Okay. Now what?"
  202. [8:28pm] AgentFlowers: Lily turns and activates the seals.
  203. [8:29pm] Snowshoe: Something slams against the inside of the door. The steel bends.
  204. [8:29pm] PaulS_laptop: "..."
  205. [8:29pm] Alivi: "………"
  206. [8:29pm] TheRaven: "Oh /shit/."
  207. [8:29pm] Aphex_: Collin jumps back a bit at that.
  208. [8:29pm] TheRaven: "Haul ass!"
  209. [8:29pm] Snowshoe: Anybody still near the door?
  210. [8:29pm] Pres: There's larger, thicker doors at each end of the spoke.
  211. [8:29pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill is backing up
  212. [8:30pm] Alivi: Eriko is behind the security people
  213. [8:30pm] AgentFlowers: <<Command, this is Agent MacDonald, biohazard is breaking containment, we're running back to decon, blow the chamber!>>
  214. [8:30pm] TheRaven: Taggart is on the move. "Go go go!"
  215. [8:30pm] Snowshoe: You see the hook punch through the center of the door, and black water shoots out into the hall around the hole.
  216. [8:30pm] Alivi: Eriko nods. "Everyone go!"
  217. [8:30pm] PaulS_laptop: "Other door. Hurry!"
  218. [8:31pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill continues backing up, but with considerably more haste
  219. [8:31pm] TheRaven: Does everyone escape?
  220. [8:31pm] Aphex_: "Oh shit shit shit!" Collin's getting the fuck out.
  221. [8:31pm] AgentFlowers: "Move it people!" Lily brings up the rear, shoving Bill forward.
  222. [8:31pm] Puppetmaster: June, on second thought, puts on some safety goggles as well. Highly contagious biohazard? Fuck risk.
  223. [8:31pm] Alivi: Eriko is running.
  224. [8:31pm] Snowshoe: You make it out of the hall. You hear a crash and splintering metal as the door is forced out of its frame and slams against the opposite wall.
  225. [8:32pm] TheRaven: Taggart closes the door!
  226. [8:32pm] TheRaven: And seals it.
  227. [8:32pm] Puppetmaster: She doubles up on her gloves as well.
  228. [8:32pm] Snowshoe: The door is shut and sealed. You can't hear anything through it.
  229. [8:32pm] PaulS_laptop: "Is there any way to blow the corridor?"
  230. [8:32pm] Pres: It's a big, beefy blast door. There's an identical one at the other end of this corridor.
  231. [8:33pm] PaulS_laptop: "We uh...might want to get the fuck out the next door"
  232. [8:33pm] AgentFlowers: "They're already doing it, keep running!"
  233. [8:33pm] Pres: <<Team, we are showing you still in the access corridor. Uh, get the fuck out so we can arm the charges, over.>>
  234. [8:33pm] PaulS_laptop: <<Already moving>> Bill certainly as fuck is
  235. [8:34pm] Snowshoe left the chat room. (Quit: CGI:IRC)
  236. [8:34pm] Snowshoe joined the chat room.
  237. [8:34pm] AgentFlowers: "Go go go go go!" Lily is still bringing up the rear. "Eriko, run!"
  238. [8:34pm] Alivi: "I AM!"
  239. [8:34pm] Aphex_: Collin's following wordlessly, scared to death of that /thing/.
  240. [8:35pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill grabs the door, to seal it as soon as they all make it through
  241. [8:36pm] Snowshoe: Bill, you seal the door. You hear the first door still screeching, and you see it begin to shift as you close the second.
  242. [8:36pm] AgentFlowers: <<We're clear, blow it!>>
  243. [8:37pm] PaulS_laptop: "what the fuck gets through blast doors?"
  244. [8:38pm] Pres: <Emergency containment initiated. Brace, brace, brace!>. There's a massive *crack* from behind the blast door and a thunderous cacaphony. The floor rocks beneath your feet.
  245. [8:38pm] Pres: After a few seconds, the debris seems to settle. Your ears are ringing a little.
  246. [8:39pm] TheRaven: Taggart followed of course and is with the group. "Holy /fuck/, what was that?"
  247. [8:39pm] Alivi: Eriko touches her ears. She looks away from Taggart not saying anything.
  248. [8:39pm] PaulS_laptop: "metal powder thermobaric maybe?"
  249. [8:40pm] Snowshoe: You hear the sound of water trickling from the other side of the door.
  250. [8:40pm] PaulS_laptop: "uh..."
  251. [8:40pm] TheRaven: "I meant the thing that was trying to kill us."
  252. [8:40pm] Alivi: "It was our experiment."
  253. [8:40pm] PaulS_laptop: <<Command, do you read anything on the other side of this door? Or am I hearing things?>>
  254. [8:40pm] TheRaven: "Is everyone okay?"
  255. [8:41pm] Alivi: She says very quietly
  256. [8:41pm] Aphex_: "..." Collin's got a worried look on his face.
  257. [8:41pm] Strife: Rick is at the decon location, rapid
  258. [8:41pm] AgentFlowers: "...Ash creature...prefab 12..." Lily is pale and panting. "The hook didn't get in you, did it?"
  259. [8:41pm] Strife: Improvisation of cover is occurring
  260. [8:42pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill looks himself over up and down "no leaks, I'm good."
  261. [8:42pm] Pres: <<We have no sensors in the area, Agent. Not after the detonation.>>
  262. [8:42pm] TheRaven: "I'm fine, gonna need a decon shower though."
  263. [8:42pm] TheRaven: He starts making his way back to the checkpoint.
  264. [8:42pm] PaulS_laptop: "God dammit, you mean they can't afford blast proof sensors?"
  265. [8:42pm] Snowshoe: A thin trickle of water leaks from under the door.
  266. [8:43pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at the water. What color?
  267. [8:43pm] AgentFlowers: "...Oh, fuck me..."
  268. [8:43pm] PaulS_laptop: <<We have what appears to be a possible breach through this door as well. Are there charges on this side?>>
  269. [8:43pm] PaulS_laptop: "fuuck"
  270. [8:43pm] TheRaven: "...you've got to be shitting me."
  271. [8:43pm] Aphex_: "Aw fuck's sake."
  272. [8:44pm] PaulS_laptop: "E#verybody back and out."
  273. [8:44pm] TheRaven: "Eriko, you have any thermite handy?"
  274. [8:44pm] Pres: <<Agents, stand by, we're trying to get accurate seismic data from your position...>>
  275. [8:45pm] Alivi: Eriko shakes her head. "My….bag is in lab."
  276. [8:45pm] Alivi: "Not that one, but one before. Greg has thermite."
  277. [8:45pm] PaulS_laptop: "What else do you know aboutt this...experiment?"
  278. [8:45pm] Alivi: "…I caused it."
  279. [8:45pm] PaulS_laptop: "Any ways we can nautralize it, without the thermite?"
  280. [8:45pm] Alivi: "No."
  281. [8:46pm] Alivi: "Black Ash, no known….way to get rid of..."
  282. [8:46pm] Snowshoe: The trickle cuts off, and a thin slice of black water sits in the middle of the wallway.
  283. [8:46pm] Snowshoe: *hallway
  284. [8:46pm] Alivi: "Never seen this before."
  285. [8:46pm] Alivi: Can Eriko collect a sample?
  286. [8:46pm] TheRaven: "Shit, I was thinking we weld the door. Alright, we need some better hardware for this."
  287. [8:46pm] PaulS_laptop: "Really wish I had some grenades"
  288. [8:46pm] Snowshoe: There's no noise from the other side of the door now.
  289. [8:46pm] PaulS_laptop: mumblegrumble
  290. [8:46pm] Pres: <<Agents, we're reading minimal and very intermittent seismic activity from the contained area. We believe it's debris settling.>>
  291. [8:47pm] Pres: <<Remain where you are, personnel are en route to escort you to decontamination.>>
  292. [8:47pm] AgentFlowers: Lily lets out a breath. "Alright, lets get to decon and have them send hazmat down here to clean up."
  293. [8:47pm] PaulS_laptop: <<Be advised. We have a leak on this side of the door.>>
  294. [8:47pm] fox joined the chat room.
  295. [8:47pm] Alivi: <<someone need to collect sample.>>
  296. [8:47pm] TheRaven: "I've got two frag here."
  297. [8:47pm] Alivi: "Don't taggart."
  298. [8:48pm] Pres: <<Containment will take care of it. Remain where you are and follow the orders of the decon experts.>>
  299. [8:48pm] TheRaven: "And I think I'm requisitioning hazard gear for the whole team once we get out of here."
  300. [8:48pm] AgentFlowers: She gives Eriko a sharp look. "And we will be having a very serious discussion about the meaning of the word evacuate."
  301. [8:48pm] Strife: <<recommend that we seal any leaks in the door soonest>>
  302. [8:48pm] PaulS_laptop: "I think that's a good idea." to taggart
  303. [8:48pm] Alivi: Eriko doesn't look at Lily.
  304. [8:48pm] Pres: <<Noted, Agent. Remain at your post.>>
  305. [8:49pm] Strife: <<Wilco.>>
  306. [8:49pm] Strife: ~decon's gonna fie
  307. [8:50pm] Roget: <<Can noncombatant medical personnel assist with decon procedures?>>
  308. [8:50pm] Strife: Die. . . ~
  309. [8:50pm] Pres: <<Negative, Agent. The containment wing remains on lockdown. Stay at your post and remain prepared to receive injured personnel.>>
  310. [8:51pm] Pres: There's voices from down the corridor behind you, team.
  311. [8:51pm] AgentFlowers: Lily puts her hands up, she knows the drill.
  312. [8:52pm] Pres: There's four of them, in hazmat suits. Your gear and any research materials you salvaged are taken for safekeeping and sealed in plastic bags.
  313. [8:53pm] Pres: Yes, even your weapons.
  314. [8:53pm] TheRaven: "I expect all of that back."
  315. [8:54pm] lurkd joined the chat room.
  316. [8:54pm] Roget: Ralph returns to medical, looking highly anxious.
  317. [8:54pm] Aphex_: "Man, I /need/ those." He's pointing at his rifle and sidearm.
  318. [8:54pm] Pres: <Once it's been cleared.> one of them says, through a speaker mounted on his helmet. <Now move, so we can lock the rest of the place down.>
  319. [8:54pm] Puppetmaster: June's in medical with gloves, mask, and goggles. She nods to Ralph.
  320. [8:55pm] AgentFlowers: "Am I really the only one of us who's been deconned before?"
  321. [8:55pm] Alivi: Eriko nods, she goes forward to decontamination.
  322. [8:55pm] Roget: Ralph gets his gear on, June can notice he looks super anxious
  323. [8:55pm] TheRaven: Taggart follows.
  324. [8:55pm] PaulS_laptop: "I got deconned once. Firehose." Bill goes where they tell him. He clearly isn't/happy/
  325. [8:55pm] Puppetmaster: "Hey, she's fine. She's been on over radio. They would've said if anything severe happened."
  326. [8:56pm] AgentFlowers: Lily gets moving.
  327. [8:56pm] lurkd: Elif is fine tuning an engine in the garage.
  328. [8:56pm] Roget: "They might not know... did you hear the boom?"
  329. [8:56pm] Puppetmaster: "She's going to be fine, Ralph."
  330. [8:56pm] Aphex_: Collin falls in behind the group into decon.
  331. [8:58pm] Pres: You're rapidly stripped down, herded into decontamination showers, and scrubbed raw. Afterwards, there's a thorough and rather embarrassing inspection for any infected cuts or scrapes.
  332. [8:58pm] Pres: You all pass.
  333. [8:59pm] TheRaven: Taggart bitches the whole time and heads back to his room once he's been cleared. "Send over my guns as soon as possible."
  334. [8:59pm] PaulS_laptop: "Do I at least get a happy ending?"
  335. [8:59pm] PaulS_laptop: to one of the decon people
  336. [8:59pm] Pres: Your clothing, however, does not. It's taken away to be disposed of and you're given hospital scrubs to wear instead.
  337. [8:59pm] Alivi: Eriko says nothing throughout the entire thing.
  338. [8:59pm] lurkd: Elif finishes. "Dang engine grease."
  339. [8:59pm] Alivi: Is Eriko's wedding ring given back?
  340. [9:00pm] Strife: Rick is still staring down his sights in the direction of the seal, expecting trouble, but still with unmussed coat
  341. [9:00pm] Pres: Bill gets bapped on the back of the head with a coarse wire brush. Not too hard, just enough to discourage future wisecrackery. Eriko's ring is inspected and returned to her immediately.
  342. [9:00pm] lurkd: Elif is covered in black stains, she puts her tools away and walks out to go get cleaned up.
  343. [9:00pm] Alivi: Eriko places it back on.
  344. [9:01pm] Aphex_: Collin goes to his bunk, semi-embarrassed.
  345. [9:02pm] TheRaven: Taggart redresses in his room, pulls the old Jungle Carbine out of his footlocker and loads it in case of shit happening before his gear is returned.
  346. [9:03pm] AgentFlowers: Lily is used to the process, although she laments the loss of yet another bandanna.
  347. [9:03pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill dresses, then gathers up the parts from that shotgun and reassembles it. Atg least it's something, even if it isn't done yet.
  348. [9:04pm] lurkd: Elif passes by her bunk and heads for mess instead.
  349. [9:04pm] lurkd: "Coffee first."
  350. [9:04pm] Alivi: Eriko looks over at Lily
  351. [9:04pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill slings the shotgun, and makes his way to the mess for coffee
  352. [9:05pm] PaulS_laptop: maybe the rec later, but coffee and actual food first
  353. [9:05pm] Pres: Oh, and everyone's gear will be returned, intact, over the course of the next few hours.
  354. [9:05pm] Puppetmaster: June waits for the wounded to arrive at medical.
  355. [9:05pm] Pres: Govern yourselves accordingly.
  356. [9:06pm] PaulS_laptop: when Bill arrives at the mess, he grabs a burger and fills a mug with coffee
  357. [9:06pm] lurkd: Elif is there. "Hey, Bill."
  358. [9:07pm] lurkd: She's covered in engine grease and brake dust.
  359. [9:07pm] PaulS_laptop: "Evenin" Bill plops down nearish her
  360. [9:07pm] PaulS_laptop: "Project?"
  361. [9:07pm] AgentFlowers: "Come on, we're going to medical. Ralph will want to know you're okay."
  362. [9:07pm] Alivi: She just nods.
  363. [9:08pm] TheRaven: Taggart lies down in his room, kinda sore from getting whacked. Any aftereffects from that?
  364. [9:08pm] lurkd: "Sometimes I like to turn a few wrenches here and there than just working on CAD all damn day."
  365. [9:08pm] PaulS_laptop: "Can't blame you"
  366. [9:09pm] Pres: Soreness, evidently.
  367. [9:09pm] AgentFlowers: She walks with Eriko towards Medical.
  368. [9:09pm] PaulS_laptop: "What's the project?"
  369. [9:09pm] lurkd: "Just fine tuning a six cylinder... nothing special really."
  370. [9:10pm] PaulS_laptop: "neat"
  371. [9:10pm] lurkd: "What's new with you?"
  372. [9:10pm] PaulS_laptop: "Just got the shower from hell from decon. Also this." he shrugs off the shotgun and lays it down on the table
  373. [9:10pm] PaulS_laptop: it's got markings on the barrel, mag tube and pump
  374. [9:11pm] Roget: Ralph is in medical, decked out in full "everything is bleeding" gear.
  375. [9:11pm] Strife: Once things have settled down, Rick replaces his table and slings his rifle.
  376. [9:11pm] lurkd: "Nice shotty."
  377. [9:11pm] Puppetmaster: June's got two layers of gloves, a pair of goggles, and a mask.
  378. [9:11pm] lurkd: "Wish I had me one, I just carry around my makarov on runs nowadays."
  379. [9:11pm] PaulS_laptop: "Thanks. Gonna be better if I can get some time on the machines down in maintenance"
  380. [9:12pm] Alivi: Eriko walks in.
  381. [9:12pm] lurkd: "Oh, you looking to modify it?"
  382. [9:12pm] TheRaven left the chat room. (Quit: Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roarin' waves, together undivided but forever we'll be free!)
  383. [9:12pm] PaulS_laptop: "Yup. Gonna cut it down to about seven inches of barrel, chop the pump so it's more compact, throw a foregrip on it and chop the butt down to pistol size"
  384. [9:13pm] Roget: Ralph looks over to people coming in, and heads over quickly when he sees Eriko. "Eri! What happened? Are you okay? Is everyone else okay?"
  385. [9:13pm] PaulS_laptop: "figure it'll give me something with more punch than my glock if something is on me again" he rubs his neck
  386. [9:13pm] PaulS_laptop: "ever consider pulling a subgun or something from the armory?"
  387. [9:13pm] Puppetmaster: June looks at Lily, who presumably came in with Eriko. "Any injuries?"
  388. [9:14pm] AgentFlowers: "No, we're all fine, for the most part. It was a little touch and go because Eriko got some cuts, but she isn't infected."
  389. [9:15pm] Puppetmaster: June looks both of them over and moves the goggles up to her forehead. "Well damn, I put all this on for nothing."
  390. [9:15pm] lurkd: "Seems simple enough. We got a pretty beefy ban-saw in the back." She takes a sip. "I'd have to fill out a lot of paperwork to get something like that from the armory. Non-security people don't get the big toys without special permission."
  391. [9:15pm] Alivi: Eriko doesn't say anything to Ralph She doesn't even look at him
  392. [9:15pm] Puppetmaster: She ditches everything except one pair of gloves.
  393. [9:15pm] PaulS_laptop: "Sucks"
  394. [9:15pm] lurkd: "I know."
  395. [9:16pm] PaulS_laptop: "Hey..." he pauses, as if possessed of an idea "You've got access to machine tools. Ever consider just cranking out your own?"
  396. [9:16pm] Strife: Rick helps take down the decon site
  397. [9:16pm] Roget: Ralph hugs Eriko in 'thank god you are okay' relief mode
  398. [9:16pm] AgentFlowers: "Ralph, you want to come with me to explain something to Eriko in private?"
  399. [9:17pm] lurkd: "Yeah, if I want to get my ass kicked by the administration. No... I know my place. In the rear with the gear... and a makarov." *chuckles*
  400. [9:17pm] PaulS_laptop: Chuckle "least you get to play with better tools"
  401. [9:17pm] Puppetmaster: June's got an 'oh shit not my place' look and takes out her remaining pair of gloves. She walks out of medical. "Anyone more has injuries, call me back in."
  402. [9:17pm] Puppetmaster: takes off*
  403. [9:17pm] lurkd: "That's the trade off."
  404. [9:17pm] PaulS_laptop: "this is about my limit, at least til they authorize me for explosives"
  405. [9:18pm] PaulS_laptop: "Not sure why they're so uptight here"
  406. [9:18pm] PaulS_laptop: he shrugs
  407. [9:18pm] Puppetmaster: June goes to the mess and grabs a quick cup of tea and whatever passes for biscuits in this Goddamn place.
  408. [9:19pm] lurkd: "I could do so much with a kilo of semtex."
  409. [9:19pm] lurkd: "Used sparingly of course."
  410. [9:20pm] PaulS_laptop: "No problem that can't be solved with explosives"
  411. [9:20pm] Roget: "..." Ralph looks to Lily, confused.
  412. [9:20pm] AgentFlowers: "Eriko. Do you understand the word /evacuate/?"
  413. [9:20pm] PaulS_laptop: "We just blew up a corridor twenty minutes ago"
  414. [9:21pm] Puppetmaster: June takes a seat at Elif's table, a good bit away so as not to be intrusive.
  415. [9:21pm] Alivi: She doesn't say anything
  416. [9:21pm] Puppetmaster: She's looking spacey.
  417. [9:21pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill waves her in
  418. [9:22pm] Puppetmaster: She doesn't seem to notice.
  419. [9:22pm] AgentFlowers: "How about 'Eriko, get out of here now'?"
  420. [9:22pm] Roget: Ralph slowly lets Eriko go, and looks at her and Lily, frowning. "What happened?"
  421. [9:24pm] PaulS_laptop: "I don't think I ever asked. How'd you end up here, anyway?" to Elif
  422. [9:24pm] AgentFlowers: "The thing broke containment. Bashed through reinforced plate glass like it was nothing. Security gave the order to evacuate, apparently to Eriko that means 'run towards the monster after a tape recorder'." Lily is /not/ impressed.
  423. [9:25pm] AgentFlowers: "I had to drag her out with my own hands."
  424. [9:25pm] Roget: "Eri... is that right?"
  425. [9:25pm] Alivi: "We needed to get the research notes."
  426. [9:26pm] lurkd: Elif waves to Eriko and smirks at Ralph.
  427. [9:26pm] Puppetmaster: Eriko and Ralph are nowhere near mess, if memory serves.
  428. [9:27pm] lurkd: (redact then)
  429. [9:27pm] AgentFlowers: "No, you /needed/ to back away from the skip as soon as the order was given."
  430. [9:28pm] lurkd: "Was fresh out of college, worked for a logistics company that turned out to be a Foundation front. They bumped me up to a chief millwright, I was inducted officially and now I'm here."
  431. [9:28pm] Roget: "Eri... your life isn't worth those notes. I mean... you need to protect yourself." Ralph sounds overwhelmed, a bit.
  432. [9:28pm] lurkd: Elif pats an empty spot next to her for June.
  433. [9:29pm] Alivi: "Dr.Chernigov is going to be upset."
  434. [9:29pm] PaulS_laptop: "Sounds like a pretty nice gig"
  435. [9:29pm] Puppetmaster: June blinks several times, takes a tip of tea, and slides over to Elif.
  436. [9:29pm] lurkd: "As long as I can avoid getting beat up... every run I come back with cracked ribs."
  437. [9:30pm] lurkd: "You alright June?"
  438. [9:30pm] Puppetmaster: "Yeah, just thinkin'. 'S nothin'."
  439. [9:30pm] PaulS_laptop: "the other night, something invisible jumped on my neck. June was there"
  440. [9:30pm] PaulS_laptop: "she kicked it's head off"
  441. [9:30pm] Puppetmaster: June's smiling. "Thing's neck must've been like a twig."
  442. [9:31pm] AgentFlowers: "Dr Chernigov got out while the getting was good."
  443. [9:31pm] Strife: Rick enters the mess, rifle back to being back slung
  444. [9:31pm] Puppetmaster: June nods to Rick.
  445. [9:31pm] Strife: He searches for food
  446. [9:31pm] AgentFlowers: "You forced us to stay in the area while that thing tore the place apart."
  447. [9:32pm] Strife: 1d10
  448. [9:32pm] Glacon: Strife: 7 (1d10=7)
  449. [9:32pm] lurkd: "A ghost made of ash mopped the floor with me, and threw me like a chair about fifteen feet. That's about the worst I've had it."
  450. [9:32pm] Alivi: "You were not leaving."
  451. [9:32pm] PaulS_laptop: "wait...ash?"
  452. [9:32pm] lurkd: "Fucked up my ribcage for days."
  453. [9:32pm] lurkd: "Yup... ashman I call him."
  454. [9:32pm] Roget: "Eri... you endangered the team?" Ralph is starting to sound a bit shocked.
  455. [9:33pm] Balthazaar joined the chat room.
  456. [9:33pm] AgentFlowers: "Because it's my job to leave /after/ you. Not before. When you get out, then the rest of us are allowed to follow you."
  457. [9:33pm] Alivi: Eriko doesn't reply. But she is slightly shaking.
  458. [9:33pm] Alivi: "I am sorry."
  459. [9:33pm] PaulS_laptop: "we uh...just dealt with a breach involving some kind of ash thing"
  460. [9:34pm] Dr_Kens joined the chat room.
  461. [9:34pm] lurkd: "...the old prefab?"
  462. [9:34pm] PaulS_laptop: "yup"
  463. [9:34pm] Puppetmaster: "That's what the thing was? Didn't get to see it."
  464. [9:34pm] PaulS_laptop: "just had to blow the tunnel"
  465. [9:35pm] AgentFlowers: "If that thing had managed to catch Taggart..."
  466. [9:35pm] Roget: "Eri... why did you do this?" Ralph is shaking too.
  467. [9:35pm] Puppetmaster: "No one got hooked, right? Those things are dangerous."
  468. [9:36pm] PaulS_laptop: "Nope. no casualties"
  469. [9:36pm] Puppetmaster: "If I'm not wrong, they'll kill you if you leave them in too long."
  470. [9:36pm] lurkd: Elif shudders.
  471. [9:36pm] Alivi: "I am sorry."
  472. [9:36pm] lurkd: "I still have nightmares about ashman."
  473. [9:36pm] PaulS_laptop: "Almost got taggart, and the water anearly pulled Lily and Eriko down while trying to get them out"
  474. [9:36pm] PaulS_laptop: "but nobody infected"
  475. [9:36pm] Strife: A burger is better than nothing, he supposes, taking a seat near the group. "Ladies, Bill. . . Ladies" the joking implication that Bill is female is somewhat understated.
  476. [9:37pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill chuckles at rick's "joke"
  477. [9:37pm] Puppetmaster: "... I had nightmares about the hooks, even before I knew quite what they do. Things freak me out."
  478. [9:37pm] AgentFlowers: "It's a /miracle/ no one was infected."
  479. [9:37pm] Alivi: "I understand that more than you know."
  480. [9:37pm] PaulS_laptop: "what do they do?"
  481. [9:37pm] Alivi: Eriko's accent is incredibly strong right now.
  482. [9:37pm] PaulS_laptop: "besides punch holes in fucking blast doors?"
  483. [9:37pm] Puppetmaster: "Slow down your heartrate until you die, so far as I can tell."
  484. [9:38pm] Balthazaar left the chat room.
  485. [9:38pm] AgentFlowers: "Then the next time you're given an order to protect your life, and the lives of the team, you /follow/ it. Clear?"
  486. [9:38pm] Puppetmaster: "Those things? They don't bleed. It's unnatural. I don't like it. You damn well better double tap those things a few times if you kill one."
  487. [9:39pm] Wogglebug left the chat room. (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90.1 [Firefox 22.0/20130618035212])
  488. [9:39pm] lurkd: "Toss you around, disappear and reappear in weird ways."
  489. [9:39pm] Alivi: She nods.
  490. [9:39pm] Strife: "What stops them?"
  491. [9:39pm] PaulS_laptop: "Okay. Remind me to requisition explosives. And some fuciking grenades"
  492. [9:39pm] Puppetmaster: June takes out her knife and lays it flat on the table. "This works just as well."
  493. [9:40pm] Strife: "buckshot, maybe?"
  494. [9:40pm] AgentFlowers: Lily sighs and the tension goes out of her shoulders like air out of a balloon. She hugs Eriko tight, practically draping herself around her.
  495. [9:40pm] Puppetmaster: "It's weird, though. Again, no blood, no ash got on it either."
  496. [9:40pm] Strife: Rick indicates Bill's shotie, setting his tomahawk opposed to June's knife
  497. [9:40pm] Puppetmaster: "It was /clean/ when I pulled it out."
  498. [9:41pm] Alivi: Eriko stiffens and cries out in pain.
  499. [9:41pm] PaulS_laptop: "...huh"
  500. [9:41pm] Puppetmaster: "It was deep, too. I mean, stab like that should've pulled /something/ ."
  501. [9:41pm] AgentFlowers: "Sorry, sorry..." She loosens her hold a little, and strokes Eriko's hair.
  502. [9:42pm] PaulS_laptop: "Little closer than I'd like to be"
  503. [9:42pm] Alivi: "You do not…hate me?"
  504. [9:42pm] Alivi: Eriko seems surprised.
  505. [9:42pm] Strife: "Great. Defies reason, no clue where it comes from, no effective countermeasures
  506. [9:43pm] Puppetmaster: "Stabbing and bullets are effective countermeasures."
  507. [9:43pm] PaulS_laptop: "...grenades. definitely grenades."
  508. [9:44pm] Strife: "it's not effective if it'll still have a good chance of running through someone."
  509. [9:44pm] AgentFlowers: "Hate you? Eri, of course not, I'd never hate you... I was scared...terrified, I didn't want you buried down there, never you..."
  510. [9:44pm] PaulS_laptop: "was there any kind of resistance when you stuck it?"
  511. [9:44pm] Strife: "effective countermeasures is the enemy never even knowing that they're in your kill box
  512. [9:44pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill holds out a fist to Rick to pound
  513. [9:45pm] Puppetmaster: "As much resistance as you'd expect burying a knife in a body."
  514. [9:45pm] Strife: *pound*
  515. [9:45pm] lurkd: E
  516. [9:45pm] Puppetmaster: "... Several times."
  517. [9:45pm] lurkd: Elif sips her coffee.
  518. [9:45pm] Puppetmaster: June sips her tea.
  519. [9:46pm] PaulS_laptop: Siiip
  520. [9:46pm] PaulS_laptop: "there's at least tat"
  521. [9:46pm] lurkd: "I hit it with a 2 foot wrench once. That got it's attention."
  522. [9:47pm] Puppetmaster: "And your ribs cracked. Again, by all rights damn thing should've punched me."
  523. [9:47pm] lurkd: "That was a bad time. I was stuck in the dark alone."
  524. [9:47pm] Puppetmaster: "Oh. Another time."
  525. [9:48pm] PaulS_laptop: "Shit"
  526. [9:48pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Lily confused.
  527. [9:48pm] PaulS_laptop: "Well, hopefully it's out of commission now"
  528. [9:48pm] Dr_Kens: Kens walks into the rec room because fuck the rules.
  529. [9:49pm] Strife: "after that little bit? I'm amazed that it's contained"
  530. [9:49pm] Puppetmaster: "I heard the boom. If it was right on top of that thing..."
  531. [9:49pm] Puppetmaster: "Well. Things go down easier than that."
  532. [9:49pm] Strife: Rick looks up at the lights, half expecting them to go out at all the fate tempting
  533. [9:49pm] Alivi: She sighs.
  534. [9:49pm] Alivi: "Maybe…I should go now."
  535. [9:50pm] Dr_Kens: Kens starts to walk out of the rec room, going towards the lab.
  536. [9:50pm] lurkd: "Nothing quite as humbling as being stuck alone in the dark with ashman kicking your ass."
  537. [9:51pm] AgentFlowers: "You scared the hell out of me, Eri."
  538. [9:51pm] Alivi: She removes herself from Lily's embrace.
  539. [9:51pm] Puppetmaster: June looks uncomfortable.
  540. [9:51pm] Roget: "Where are you going to go?"
  541. [9:51pm] Alivi: "Lab, left things there..."
  542. [9:52pm] Dr_Kens: Kens is passing medical right around now.
  543. [9:52pm] Alivi: Eriko is there, she looks very very upset and shaken.
  544. [9:53pm] lurkd: At June. "You alright?"
  545. [9:53pm] Puppetmaster: "Yeah."
  546. [9:53pm] Dr_Kens: "Hey, Eriko...are you alright?" Kens walks over, eyebrows furrowed in worry.
  547. [9:53pm] Alivi: Eriko does not make eye contact with Kens.
  548. [9:54pm] Dr_Kens: He reaches out for her hand, slowly. He's not sure if she wants physical contact.
  549. [9:54pm] Dr_Kens: "Come on, let's go to the lab. We can talk there if you'd like. Or not, but it's quiet there."
  550. [9:55pm] PaulS_laptop: "Where were you that you got stuck in the dark?"
  551. [9:56pm] Puppetmaster: "Prefab 12, I'd guess."
  552. [9:57pm] Alivi: She very briefly looks to Ralph and Lily.
  553. [9:58pm] lurkd: "Yes. Something moved through the team, they couldn't see it. It kicked me down a stair well and into a cloud of dust with zero visibility."
  554. [9:58pm] Roget: Ralph is looking to her, obviously anxious
  555. [9:58pm] lurkd: "Where it proceeded to toss me around."
  556. [9:58pm] Alivi: She sighs. "Again….I am sorry...."
  557. [9:58pm] lurkd: "Till I finally found the exit."
  558. [9:59pm] PaulS_laptop: "Saw a similar kind of dust right before we shut the door. It blew through a layer of armored glass"
  559. [9:59pm] Roget: "Eri... promise me you won't do this again."
  560. [9:59pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Kens.
  561. [9:59pm] Wogglebug joined the chat room.
  562. [9:59pm] Alivi: "Ralph I will talk to you….another time."
  563. [9:59pm] Alivi: She nods and moves to go towards the labs.
  564. [10:00pm] lurkd: "Yeah, I'm glad it's sealed off then."
  565. [10:00pm] Roget: "... No, Eri, I need you to promise me."
  566. [10:01pm] Dr_Kens: Kens raises an eyebrow at this, but remains quiet.
  567. [10:01pm] PaulS_laptop: "well, mostly sealed"
  568. [10:01pm] PaulS_laptop: "slight leak of black shit from under the second door"
  569. [10:01pm] Puppetmaster: June's still looking uncomfortable about something.
  570. [10:02pm] Strife: "You'd think that they'd care more about that, you know?"
  571. [10:02pm] PaulS_laptop: "Something's eating you still, isn't it?" to june
  572. [10:03pm] lurkd: "Yeah seriously, I'm tired of asking."
  573. [10:03pm] Alivi: "Ralph, later."
  574. [10:04pm] Puppetmaster: "I just don't like talking about people getting hurt. Bugs me."
  575. [10:04pm] Roget: "Eri, please."
  576. [10:06pm] Alivi: "Ralph, I cannot make promise."
  577. [10:07pm] PaulS_laptop: "mm"
  578. [10:07pm] Roget: "Why?" Ralph is becoming upset.
  579. [10:08pm] PaulS_laptop: "alright then"
  580. [10:08pm] Strife: "alright, I'd like to note that another incident involving clothes destroying anomalous stuff and my coat is still clean."
  581. [10:08pm] Alivi: "Because certian thing may happen."
  582. [10:08pm] lurkd: "I guess I can't show off my scars around you then?"
  583. [10:08pm] AgentFlowers: "Eriko. Promise that when you're given an order, you will follow it."
  584. [10:08pm] Puppetmaster: "Well, that's fine, but... Complicated."
  585. [10:09pm] Alivi: Eriko is obviously becoming overwhelmed.
  586. [10:09pm] Dr_Kens: "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm really, really confused here. And it obviously shows that Eriko's really distressed. Just let me talk to her a little bit, or at least have someone explain what happened to me."
  587. [10:09pm] lurkd: "You sure? I got some pretty gnarly ones." *chuckles*
  588. [10:10pm] Puppetmaster: "Like I said, i-it's fine."
  589. [10:10pm] Puppetmaster: "Can if you want."
  590. [10:10pm] TheRaven joined the chat room.
  591. [10:11pm] lurkd: Elif shrugs.
  592. [10:12pm] Puppetmaster: June continues sipping her tea and nibbling on a biscuit. Or cookie, if you're one of those damned yanks.
  593. [10:13pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill, who would be extremely offended at being called a yankee, is finishing up his burger
  594. [10:14pm] Alivi: "Today we conduct experiment on D-class." Eriko says very very quietly.
  595. [10:14pm] AgentFlowers: "There was a containment breach. Eriko refused to evacuate."
  596. [10:14pm] Dr_Kens: Kens is quiet for a moment. He looks at everyone involved.
  597. [10:14pm] Roget: ".... What? You tested the D-Class?"
  598. [10:17pm] Alivi: "Doctor Chernigov, instructed we retrieve notes and recordings."
  599. [10:17pm] Dr_Kens: "This...is going to be a very sensitive topic." He looks at Eriko. "We'll talk about this later." He glances over at Ralph et al. "Quietly."
  600. [10:17pm] PaulS_laptop: "I picked up a few myself. None terribly major"
  601. [10:17pm] Alivi: Eriko looks down and nods.
  602. [10:18pm] Puppetmaster: "Ooh, reminds me! Other docs told me my bandages can come off today!" June holds up the burned arm.
  603. [10:18pm] Puppetmaster: It's still wrapped for now.
  604. [10:18pm] PaulS_laptop: "kickass"
  605. [10:18pm] Strife: Rick attempts to remove ketchup from his coat without anyone noticing.
  606. [10:18pm] Puppetmaster: June takes an end of the bandage and glances around. "No one squeamish, right?"
  607. [10:18pm] Roget: "You... left, so I wouldn't try to stop you..." Ralph gets up, shakily.
  608. [10:18pm] Puppetmaster: "Won't be that bad anyway."
  609. [10:19pm] Strife: "nope, I'm fine"
  610. [10:19pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill chuckles
  611. [10:19pm] Dr_Kens: "Ralph." Kens looks at him with a concerned stare. "We'll have a chat too. I'll send you a text."
  612. [10:19pm] Puppetmaster: June starts unwrapping the bandages.
  613. [10:19pm] TheRaven: Taggart heads to rec and gets a coffee.
  614. [10:20pm] Dr_Kens: "Come on, Eriko. Let's take a walk." He nods down the hallway to the cafeteria instead. "I think you need some tea to help calm your nerves."
  615. [10:20pm] Dr_Kens: Roget: Concerned stare, not angry or judgemental. Like, fatherly.
  616. [10:20pm] Puppetmaster: There's extensive scarring, but it isn't horribly ugly or anything.
  617. [10:20pm] Alivi: Eriko nods.
  618. [10:20pm] Alivi: She bows to Ralph and Lily. "Again, I ask you to forgive me."
  619. [10:21pm] Strife: "Fairly good recovery, I think"
  620. [10:21pm] Roget: "I'm not angry, Eri... please don't bow. I just need time... to digest this."
  621. [10:21pm] Puppetmaster: "Well, it was only second degree. Any worse all this-" she sweeps over it with one hand - "would be dark red permanently."
  622. [10:22pm] Puppetmaster: June wads up the bandages and pockets them.
  623. [10:22pm] Alivi: Eriko turns and nods to Kens and begins walking away.
  624. [10:23pm] TheRaven: Anyone in rec?
  625. [10:23pm] Dr_Kens: He walks down the hallway with her. "So...Eriko...how are you feeling?" He's using his soft, calm voice now.
  626. [10:24pm] Alivi: She doesn't look at him. "….I am not sure. I feel…..horrible because I mess up."
  627. [10:25pm] Proto_Lost left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  628. [10:26pm] Dr_Kens: "Everybody messes up. Look at me. I paid a high price for my mistake." He moves his right arm again. "That doesn't mean you are horrible. That said..." He looks forward a bit. "...what did you mess up that made you feel so low?"
  629. [10:28pm] Alivi: "…They told me to leave. I could not because Dr. Chernigov wanted notes…. and I have job."
  630. [10:29pm] Dr_Kens: "Why did they tell you to leave? A life is usually more important than a piece of data."
  631. [10:29pm] Puppetmaster: June looks her arm over. "Pretty nice... not too restrictive." She flexes her fingers and moves her wrist to ensure that last statement.
  632. [10:29pm] PaulS_laptop: "Badass"
  633. [10:29pm] Alivi: "Because it was breaking containment."
  634. [10:29pm] Puppetmaster: "Heh. Guess it is."
  635. [10:30pm] Roget is now known as Rog|Slumbers.
  636. [10:31pm] Puppetmaster: June turns to Elif, smiling. "Whaddya think? It's my first."
  637. [10:31pm] Strife: "definitely"
  638. [10:31pm] Dr_Kens: "Eriko, your life is more important than the data. If we lose the data, some researchers will be upset, but you can usually try again. If we lose you, though...we can't replace that. Don't forget that." He looks over and gives her a warm smile. "Don't ever forget that."
  639. [10:31pm] Alivi: "I know…."
  640. [10:32pm] Alivi: Eriko is pretty upset.
  641. [10:32pm] Alivi: "I was not thinking..."
  642. [10:33pm] Dr_Kens: "Not thinking? No, you were too focused. I do the same thing. Sometimes researchers like us need a friend to grab us by the scruff of our neck and pull us out of the room."
  643. [10:36pm] Alivi: "Like…Lily?"
  644. [10:36pm] lurkd: "Not bad... not bad... now if you want a real scar..." Elif hikes up her leg and shows off a white scar that appears to be a nasty laceration running from her ankle to mid calf.
  645. [10:36pm] Dr_Kens: "Yes, or Ralph."
  646. [10:37pm] Alivi: "He probably hate me."
  647. [10:37pm] TheRaven: Taggart sits in rec drinking coffee, wondering just how fucked he is if the thing in research breaks out.
  648. [10:37pm] Puppetmaster: "The boat engine, right?"
  649. [10:38pm] Dr_Kens: "No, he just needs some time. He was scared because you were in danger. SOmeone who cares about you that much will definitely be scared for you."
  650. [10:38pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill whistles
  651. [10:38pm] Strife: "Impressive"
  652. [10:42pm] Alivi: She sighs, she is tearing up
  653. [10:43pm] Puppetmaster: "Yeah, yeah, showoff."
  654. [10:43pm] Dr_Kens: Kens brushes her forearm. "Hey, it'll be okay."
  655. [10:43pm] lurkd: "Not the engine, the prop. Was testing it at max rpm when the cavitation made it explode. The blade tore right through the guarding and caught me."
  656. [10:43pm] Alivi: "I shouldn't have done experiment."
  657. [10:44pm] PaulS_laptop: "dayum"
  658. [10:44pm] Pres: Greg heads to the mess for a late night meal.
  659. [10:45pm] Puppetmaster: June nods to him as he enters.
  660. [10:45pm] TheRaven: Taggart gets bored and heads for the mess as well.
  661. [10:46pm] Dr_Kens: "Our work sort of forces us to do this sort of research. We do this not because it's fun, but because we can protect the rest of the world. So we can defend the ones we care about the most."
  662. [10:46pm] Pres: Sweet, burgers! Hopefully they have some with bacon on it. He piles his plate high with fries, too, and heads over to the other Poolboys.
  663. [10:48pm] Dr_Kens: "Sometimes our research causes...this...to happen." He gestures at the containment area further back. "We're in this together. If you didn't do it, one of the other researchers would've been assigned it. I would've probably had to do it, since I've done this sort of work before."
  664. [10:48pm] Puppetmaster: June smiles and holds up her scars to Greg. "Whaddya think?"
  665. [10:48pm] Alivi: "I am glad you didn't see…."
  666. [10:49pm] Alivi: She wipes her eyes.
  667. [10:49pm] AgentFlowers: Lily also goes to the mess and gets a burger with everything on it, and at least as many fries as Greg has, maybe more, and the most sugary caffeinated soda they have. She puts it down with the rest of Security, and drops into her seat with an irritated humph.
  668. [10:50pm] TheRaven: "Hey."
  669. [10:50pm] Strife: "Evening" Rick nods politely to the new comers.
  670. [10:50pm] Dr_Kens: "Eriko..." Kens opens his mouth slightly, but closes it. "You'll be okay."
  671. [10:50pm] Alivi: "Ralph wanted to do injection. I am glad he didn't"
  672. [10:50pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill nods at lily and greg
  673. [10:50pm] AgentFlowers: "Hey." She stuffs fries in her mouth.
  674. [10:50pm] Pres: Greg raises an eyebrow at june. "A good start." he says, after a mouthful of burger.
  675. [10:51pm] Dr_Kens: Kens nods and walks her towards the cafe.
  676. [10:51pm] Puppetmaster: "Hey Lily. How'd it go?"
  677. [10:53pm] Alivi: Eriko is somewhat ushered to the cafeteria
  678. [10:54pm] AgentFlowers: "Mmphmphmhrm." Her mouth is full of delicious comforting deep fried potato byproduct strings.
  679. [10:54pm] Dr_Kens: He leads her to a quiet corner and grabs two cups for tea.
  680. [10:54pm] Puppetmaster: "That good, huh?"
  681. [10:55pm] Alivi: She nods in thanks to him
  682. [10:55pm] AgentFlowers: She gestures vaguely to Taggart.
  683. [10:55pm] TheRaven: "Nasty."
  684. [10:56pm] Dr_Kens: He just sits there and sips
  685. [10:56pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill slurps down his coffee
  686. [10:56pm] Pres: "Yeah, I heard the radio chatter. Did you really blow up an entire wing of containment cells?"
  687. [10:57pm] PaulS_laptop: "Just a connecting tunnel I think"
  688. [10:57pm] AgentFlowers: "Jushs one hawl." Her mouth is still full.
  689. [10:57pm] Alivi: Eriko sips hers.
  690. [10:58pm] Dr_Kens: "Good tea."
  691. [10:58pm] TheRaven: "Had to collapse it, whatever the hell was down there was /powerful./"
  692. [10:58pm] AgentFlowers: She swallows. "Containment breach. Ripped through the blast doors like playdoh."
  693. [10:58pm] Puppetmaster: ~Playdoh?~
  694. [10:58pm] Pres: "Eesh. Lucky you."
  695. [10:58pm] Dr_Kens: Kens is hearing all of this chatter. He's thinking, Damn...shit got real.
  696. [10:58pm] Pres: Chomp.
  697. [10:59pm] PaulS_laptop: "Need to keep reminding myself to requisition a grenade launcher"
  698. [10:59pm] PaulS_laptop: "and like, fifty pounds of tnt"
  699. [10:59pm] Dr_Kens: "Eriko?" Kens looks up from his tea. "I'm glad you're okay. And let me know next time, so I can come with you."
  700. [10:59pm] TheRaven: "Any idea what command plans to do with it?"
  701. [11:01pm] Pres: "Set it on fire? If I were them I'd probably try fire."
  702. [11:01pm] TheRaven: "That's what I was thinking."
  703. [11:01pm] Alivi: She nods.
  704. [11:01pm] Strife: "Do we have any flamethrowers available?"
  705. [11:01pm] Alivi: "I forgot my gun….i had nothing."
  706. [11:02pm] PaulS_laptop: "I dunno,but I have a suggestion for eriko to try"
  707. [11:02pm] PaulS_laptop: "Eriko!" he hollers across to her "Chlorine. Triflouride. Try it"
  708. [11:02pm] AgentFlowers: "Like, running when we damn well tell her to, /before/ the skip tries to hook Taggart?"
  709. [11:02pm] Pres: "Maybe. If we do, I wouldn't want to be the guy carrying them."
  710. [11:03pm] TheRaven: "It only whacked me, nothing big."
  711. [11:03pm] AgentFlowers: "You haven't seen what those things do to you when they catch you."
  712. [11:03pm] Alivi: Eriko freezes and accidently spills her tea from the shock.
  713. [11:03pm] lurkd: Elif gets up to head to the shower.
  714. [11:03pm] Pres: "Do you know what the average life expectancy of a flamethrower operator was back when they still used em?"
  715. [11:04pm] PaulS_laptop: "Longer than you would think"
  716. [11:04pm] PaulS_laptop: "They don't blow up in real life"
  717. [11:04pm] TheRaven: "Can't be that bad."
  718. [11:04pm] PaulS_laptop: "I'd carry one"
  719. [11:04pm] AgentFlowers: "If it had hooked you, it would have pulled you in, infected you, and made you a part of itself."
  720. [11:04pm] Dr_Kens: "Damnit Bill! Stop with the bad ideas." He shakes his head and hands Eriko some napkins.
  721. [11:05pm] Alivi: "Sorry….sorry…." she whispers.
  722. [11:05pm] Dr_Kens: "No, not your fault."
  723. [11:05pm] AgentFlowers: "That guy we pulled out of the prefab? The one we were keeping in medical for a while? We pulled him off a hook before they could put the tubes in him."
  724. [11:05pm] Puppetmaster: "Seeya Elif."
  725. [11:06pm] Pres: "8 minutes in the Pacific theater, paul. 2 weeks in Vietnam."
  726. [11:06pm] TheRaven: "...shit."
  727. [11:06pm] Pres: *Bill
  728. [11:06pm] Alivi: Eriko rubs her chest
  729. [11:06pm] TheRaven: "And the Russians have more 'interesting' flamethrower-type things now."
  730. [11:07pm] AgentFlowers: "Anyway, the biggest problem with flamethrowers is the fuel pack weighs a ton, you can only use it for a few minutes, the range is crap, and you present a huge, flaming target to the enemy."
  731. [11:07pm] Soulless is now known as Soulless|Dreamin.
  732. [11:08pm] Strife: "I want the option."
  733. [11:08pm] TheRaven: "Yeah, that's why I'm thinking about this one thing the Russians came up with. Man-portable FAE launcher unit."
  734. [11:08pm] Strife: "There's certainly things that flame would be helpful for"
  735. [11:08pm] Strife: "maybe vehicle mounted?"
  736. [11:08pm] PaulS_laptop: "We have those too, Taggart"
  737. [11:09pm] PaulS_laptop: "the old FLASH launcher. They tended to sometimes malfunction in use though"
  738. [11:09pm] Pres: "No, the FLASH were incendiaries. Taggart's talking fuel-air bombs."
  739. [11:09pm] PaulS_laptop: "Lily, the range on a vietnam flamethrower was just under a hundred yards"
  740. [11:10pm] AgentFlowers: "Yeah? And what's your rifle range, smart guy?"
  741. [11:10pm] Pres: "And there were thermobaric rounds made, at least by the US."
  742. [11:10pm] Strife: "How often do we get shot at?"
  743. [11:10pm] TheRaven: "Like an AT4, except it uses a thermobaric warhead. Anything in that tunnel is dead in half a second."
  744. [11:10pm] Pres: "Saw one or two fired in *sluuurp* Afghanistan, but I never used one myself."
  745. [11:11pm] PaulS_laptop: "Twelve hundred if I have time and dope, eight if I don't"
  746. [11:11pm] PaulS_laptop: "Also, don't expect anything Russian to actually /work/"
  747. [11:11pm] Strife: "I think that thermobarros might have been effective against the ash. And maybe these hooks, too.
  748. [11:11pm] AgentFlowers: "You think wrong. Nothing stops that stuff."
  749. [11:12pm] Strife: "We haven't tried the right thing, yet."
  750. [11:12pm] PaulS_laptop: "Chlorine. Trifluride."
  751. [11:12pm] PaulS_laptop: "It literally burns ash"
  752. [11:12pm] PaulS_laptop: "it burns /sand/ even"
  753. [11:12pm] TheRaven: "Russians have this huge thing for thermobarics, they've got a tank that replaces the turret with a giant rocket pod full of 20-odd fuel-air shells."
  754. [11:12pm] Pres: "Bill, we're not using anything the Nazis weren't crazy enough to touch."
  755. [11:13pm] PaulS_laptop: "It's used commercially for making microchips"
  756. [11:13pm] PaulS_laptop: "it'd be fiiiine"
  757. [11:13pm] AgentFlowers: "Command doesn't trust us to build a potato gun, I don't think they'll let us mess around with CT3."
  758. [11:13pm] AgentFlowers: ClF3
  759. [11:13pm] AgentFlowers: *
  760. [11:13pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill turns to Jack "thhey also have a thing for making things which malfunction, don't starrt, or don't perform as advertised. And also a thing for being unable to afford to properly equip and train their soldiers."
  761. [11:14pm] PaulS_laptop: "look at Georgia. They had guys there running around in tennish shoes. Because they couldn't afford to issue /boots/"
  762. [11:14pm] PaulS_laptop: "Russian hardware is universally shit"
  763. [11:14pm] AgentFlowers: Lily starts giggling. "Oh, oh, have you guys heard the one about the sheik who ordered this new top of the line Soviet car?"
  764. [11:15pm] PaulS_laptop: "No. I've /got/ to hear it, though"
  765. [11:15pm] Pres: "Do tell."
  766. [11:15pm] TheRaven: "Shit, man, Soviet cars were fucking ugly."
  767. [11:15pm] Pres: Well, actual the came out as "Mm Mmph.".
  768. [11:16pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at kens.
  769. [11:16pm] AgentFlowers: "Okay, so, this sheik has money to burn, obviously, and to really stick it to the American pigs he decides to order this new, top of the line Soviet car."
  770. [11:16pm] Dr_Kens: Kens sips his tea.
  771. [11:16pm] Alivi: "…How do I get image out?"
  772. [11:16pm] Strife is now known as ExStrife.
  773. [11:17pm] AgentFlowers: "His friends ask him, "When will your new car arrive?" and he tells them "It's amazing, the Russians sent me a full size cardboard model of the car. And you can even drive it!"
  774. [11:17pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill snerks
  775. [11:17pm] ExStrife: Rick snorts into his drink
  776. [11:18pm] Pres: Greg chuckles.
  777. [11:18pm] Dr_Kens: "I would say lots of alcohol, but one: That's a terrible idea, and two: That's an absolutely /horrible/ idea, so I shouldn't even say it." Kens sips his tea. "But in all honesty, it takes time. It's hard to get something traumatic out of your memory. Good friends help, having someone to talk to - like Ralph - helps the transition a lot."
  778. [11:18pm] Alivi: "I cannot tell him such thing."
  779. [11:19pm] Alivi: "You see how upset he was."
  780. [11:19pm] TheRaven: Taggart grins. "Okay, that's great."
  781. [11:19pm] Dr_Kens: "He is there for you, Eriko. 'In sickness and in health' is a phrase I aptly recall."
  782. [11:21pm] Alivi: "I should have died."
  783. [11:22pm] Dr_Kens: "No. Not should've. Could've. And he could've died on the ops to the red pool. It's part of what we do here. He understands that it's part of the job description. If he really cares about you, he'll help you through this."
  784. [11:23pm] Dr_Kens: "Make no mistake, he'll be upset. He might even get angry. But at the end if it all, he's there to help. Not hurt."
  785. [11:23pm] lurkd: Elif returns all fresh and clean and plops down in rec. She runs her fingers through her still wet hair.
  786. [11:24pm] Puppetmaster: June, having left the mess at... some point, wanders into rec and gets another cup of tea.
  787. [11:24pm] Alivi: "Something knocked me to the ground,so my chest hurts..."
  788. [11:25pm] Dr_Kens: "Did you get it checked out?
  789. [11:25pm] Dr_Kens: "
  790. [11:25pm] Puppetmaster: She plops down by Elif and sips.
  791. [11:26pm] Puppetmaster: "Hey."
  792. [11:26pm] ExStrife: Rick gets up and stretches, "well, all, I'm going to go hunt down the elusive 40 winks. Catch you all later€
  793. [11:26pm] Alivi: "Did not get chance..."
  794. [11:26pm] Dr_Kens: "Take two aspirin, get some sleep, and get it checked out in the morning."
  795. [11:27pm] ExStrife left the chat room. (Quit: Strife cancels IRC: cancellation )
  796. [11:27pm] lurkd: "Hody."
  797. [11:27pm] lurkd: *Howdy
  798. [11:29pm] Puppetmaster: June kicks off her shoes and pulls her knees up to her chest. "Too cold. This is what I was worried about."
  799. [11:29pm] fox left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  800. [11:30pm] lurkd: "Worried about being cold?"
  801. [11:30pm] AgentFlowers: "I've got a ton of them. A little boy was listening to a really long sermon in church. Suddenly he sees the sanctuary lamp - I went to Catholic school, these things are red - and he pulls on his father's sleeve, he said, "Daddy, when the light turns green can we go?"
  802. [11:31pm] Puppetmaster: "Nah, I was. So I packed almost nothing but warm clothes. Two of these tees and a tank top is all I packed besides sweaters."
  803. [11:32pm] Pres: Greg... doesn't find that one as funny.
  804. [11:33pm] lurkd: "You serious? Didn't teach you much about geography in homeschool?"
  805. [11:34pm] Puppetmaster: "I went to normal school... and I learned that Canada was cold. This is as far north as I've ever been."
  806. [11:36pm] Alivi: "…thankyou..."
  807. [11:36pm] lurkd: "I'm sure they have jackets and such in the warehouse."
  808. [11:37pm] AgentFlowers: "Trust me, you head much north of Pickering and that's hilarious."
  809. [11:37pm] AgentFlowers: "You get far enough North in Canada, it's nothing but Catholic schools."
  810. [11:38pm] Puppetmaster: "Eh. Anyway." June shivers a bit. "It did get this cold in Africa... in the winter, anyway."
  811. [11:38pm] Pres: "I'll... take your word for it." Greg says, sopping up some stray ketchup with the bun.
  812. [11:38pm] AgentFlowers: "Why, what kind of school did you go to?"
  813. [11:38pm] Pres: "Public school."
  814. [11:39pm] AgentFlowers: "I don't think there was a public school in the whole county, where I was..."
  815. [11:41pm] Pres: "Seriously?"
  816. [11:41pm] Gara: Loren walks into Rec.
  817. [11:42pm] AgentFlowers: "Nope. Pickle Lake, Ontario."
  818. [11:42pm] lurkd: "Hey Loren."
  819. [11:42pm] Puppetmaster: "Hey."
  820. [11:42pm] Alivi: She places her head on the table
  821. [11:42pm] lurkd: Elif sprawls out. "Driving was fun."
  822. [11:43pm] Gara: "Hey.'
  823. [11:43pm] Gara: "It was!"
  824. [11:43pm] Pres: "I don't think you could get away with that in America. First Amendment and all..."
  825. [11:43pm] Gara: "Last time I drove it was driving a wounded Lily from a incident.
  826. [11:43pm] Dr_Kens: Kens pats her head, and sips his tea.
  827. [11:43pm] Gara: "I think Taggart and Eriko were there."
  828. [11:43pm] lurkd: "Ah, well we hopefully won't be doing that next time we go driving."
  829. [11:44pm] AgentFlowers: "I don't think people care too much in Canada."
  830. [11:45pm] Puppetmaster: June sets down her mug and hugs her knees, resting her chin on top.
  831. [11:47pm] lurkd: "You looking kinda ashy there June. You need to lotion or else you'll dry up."
  832. [11:47pm] Puppetmaster: "... Ashy, wha?"
  833. [11:48pm] Gara: "Yes, lotion is important. Elif knows all about that, I'm pretty sure she lotions all the time."
  834. [11:48pm] lurkd: "Pffft, I'm covered in machine grease half the time."
  835. [11:49pm] Gara: "Machine /lotion/"
  836. [11:50pm] lurkd: "Dude. Don't hate."
  837. [11:50pm] Puppetmaster: June pulls her arms in through her sleeves for warmth.
  838. [11:51pm] Gara: I'm not hatin."
  839. [11:53pm] Puppetmaster: June tucks her shirt over her legs. She am become turtle.
  840. [11:53pm] Alivi: "Thank you kens…""
  841. [11:55pm] AgentFlowers: "Oh, speaking of, have you spotted Fish around lately?"
  842. [11:55pm] lurkd: "You always hate."
  843. [11:55pm] Pres: "Not really, why?"
  844. [11:55pm] AgentFlowers: "He actually looks...happy. For a change."
  845. [11:57pm] TheRaven: "Spooky."
  846. [11:57pm] lurkd: "June you're fine, don't be so self conscious." Elif slaps her knee.
  847. [11:57pm] Puppetmaster: June blinks.
  848. [11:57pm] Pres: "Is he the quartermaster's assistant?"
  849. [11:57pm] Pres: Greg does not know Fish.
  850. [11:58pm] AgentFlowers: "You know, the little jumpy guy in our department, Stan Fish? He's usually on the wall?"
  851. [11:59pm] Pres: "Oh! Yeah, that Fish."
  852. [11:59pm] Puppetmaster: She seems confused.
  853. [11:59pm] Gara: "I hate so hard."
  854. [12:00am] Gara: "You don't even know."
  855. [12:00am] Gara: "The depth of my hatred and vitriol is /boundless/ in it's unrelienting fury and spite."
  856. [12:00am] lurkd: Elif laughs. "I you are an evil little bitch."
  857. [12:00am] Gara: "I know!"
  858. [12:01am] Gara: She smiles.
  859. [12:01am] Puppetmaster: June looks kinda... ehhhh at the name-calling.
  860. [12:02am] AgentFlowers: "He got a boyfriend. Apparently it's doing him some good."
  861. [12:02am] Pres: "Huh. I didn't know he swung that way..."
  862. [12:03am] Aphex_ left the chat room. (Quit: Leaving)
  863. [12:03am] AgentFlowers: "Oh yeah, always. But seriously, I caught him /smiling/."
  864. [12:04am] Pres: "How shocking."
  865. [12:04am] TheRaven: "Well that's just eerie."
  866. [12:04am] lurkd: Elif shakes her head.
  867. [12:04am] lurkd: "Son, I am disappoint."
  868. [12:04am] Gara: "Atleast I don't play with pipes all day long, though.
  869. [12:06am] Puppetmaster: "Veins are better than pipes."
  870. [12:06am] AgentFlowers: "I know, right? Craziness. At least he doesn't look so much like he'll drop dead at any moment, now."
  871. [12:06am] Puppetmaster: "Arteries suck though."
  872. [12:06am] TheRaven: Taggart heads off to his room.
  873. [12:06am] TheRaven left the chat room. (Quit: Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roarin' waves, together undivided but forever we'll be free!)
  874. [12:08am] Pres: "That is a plus..."
  875. [12:08am] Alivi: Eriko gets up. "I should go get my bag and the like."
  876. [12:08am] Gara: "So you play with veins then?"
  877. [12:08am] Dr_Kens: "Right, sounds good. I'll see you tomorrow." He gives her a reassuring smile.
  878. [12:08am] Alivi: She nods, still obviously worried.
  879. [12:08am] Puppetmaster: "... Sooooooometiiiiiiiiiiimes."
  880. [12:10am] AgentFlowers: She sighs a little. "Greg?"
  881. [12:10am] Pres: "Yes Lily?"
  882. [12:10am] AgentFlowers: "I was honestly prepared to die tonight."
  883. [12:10am] Alivi: She waves to Kens and quickly leaves.
  884. [12:11am] Pres: "That bad, huh?"
  885. [12:11am] AgentFlowers: "I thought they'd have to collapse the tunnel on top of us."
  886. [12:12am] Puppetmaster: June gives a very small smile. It's extremely difficult to tell whether she's kidding.
  887. [12:13am] Dr_Kens left the chat room. (Quit: Going to bed, labwork int he morning. Send me lots of coffee or so help me your soul is forfeit.)
  888. [12:13am] AgentFlowers: "And now that I'm not bleeding out under a hundred meters of solid bedrock..."
  889. [12:13am] lurkd: "Pipes, veins, tomatoes, potatoes, at least we have a hobby."
  890. [12:13am] Pres: "You came close. It scared the shit out of you."
  891. [12:14am] Pres: "I've been there... too often to count."
  892. [12:14am] AgentFlowers: "Not quite. I mean, I've come close before. I was scared for everyone else."
  893. [12:16am] AgentFlowers: "Eriko wouldn't get out of there, Taggart nearly got hooked, Collin has no idea what he's doing here... I was the last one out, and I was terrified that they wouldn't make it and I'd have to watch them go."
  894. [12:17am] Pres: "Have you ever wondered why I never gave you as much crap as the others, Lily?"
  895. [12:18am] Puppetmaster: "Hey, Loren." June pops her arms back out and shivers a little. "Lemme see your wrist."
  896. [12:18am] Gara: "Okay?" She holds out her hand
  897. [12:19am] lurkd: Elif raises an eyebrow.
  898. [12:19am] AgentFlowers: "Kind of, yeah. I've seen you give it to newbies way worse than I got it."
  899. [12:19am] Puppetmaster: June moves her thumb around on the underside, then presses a spot that makes her suddenly feel squirmy all over.
  900. [12:20am] Pres: "That's because the newbies who come through here are worse than you were."
  901. [12:20am] Puppetmaster: "That's why playing with veins is fun."
  902. [12:20am] AgentFlowers: "Oh, I'm sure I was pretty insufferable." She grins a little.
  903. [12:22am] Pres: "I mean, half of them are stepping into an elite task force without ever being in a firefight. The other half are mostly glory boys who think spending six months guarding the pizza box at site-17 makes them a badass."
  904. [12:22am] Gara: "Eek."
  905. [12:22am] Gara: "What was that?"
  906. [12:22am] Puppetmaster: June smiles and lets go. "That's the body telling you to protect your blood vessels."
  907. [12:22am] lurkd: "Bullshit... do me."
  908. [12:22am] Puppetmaster: June does the same to her.
  909. [12:22am] lurkd: "AH!"
  910. [12:22am] Puppetmaster: June laughs a bit and lets go again.
  911. [12:22am] lurkd: "You're a fucking witch is what you are."
  912. [12:23am] Pres: "You had your head screwed on right the first time I saw you in action, and that's worth more than anything here. Hell, there's a chance they wouldn't have made it without you."
  913. [12:23am] Puppetmaster: "I like it for some reason."
  914. [12:23am] lurkd: "Well, with a few twists of my wrench I can shut off your bathrooms."
  915. [12:23am] Gara: "Yes, you are a blood witch."
  916. [12:23am] Puppetmaster: "Elif, we share a bathroom."
  917. [12:24am] lurkd: "I'll turn it on for myself."
  918. [12:24am] Puppetmaster: "Eh. No one said I'm an /evil/ witch."
  919. [12:26am] AgentFlowers: She smiles, and leans against him a little. "Thanks, Greg."
  920. [12:26am] Pres: "Just keep this to yourself, alright? I can't have people thinking I'm getting soft."
  921. [12:26am] Puppetmaster: June becomes a turtle again. "I am a cold witch though."
  922. [12:28am] AgentFlowers: "If anyone asks, you're tough as nails."
  923. [12:28am] Gara: "I'm an evil witch."
  924. [12:29am] Puppetmaster: "Well, all we need is a bucket of water then."
  925. [12:29am] lurkd: "I'm the inquisition!" Elif throws couch cushions at June and Loren.
  926. [12:29am] Puppetmaster: June tips over in her turtle position from the impact and rolls onto the floor.
  927. [12:29am] Gara: "I'm /evil/ not /wicked/"
  928. [12:29am] Puppetmaster: "... Ow."
  929. [12:29am] Gara: She ignore sthe cusion.
  930. [12:30am] Pres: "Damn straight. And trust me, I'll afford you the same courtesy."
  931. [12:30am] AgentFlowers: "Anyone asks, I was teaching you the theme song from Digimon Tamers."
  932. [12:31am] lurkd: Elif gives a heroic laugh.

  935. [12:31am] Pres: "Let's not get ahead of ourselves."
  936. [12:32am] Puppetmaster: June extends all her limbs again and hops back on the couch, curling up in a horizontal ball.
  937. [12:32am] Pres: "Now, if you're still feeling blue, a trip to the range always cheers me up after a near-death experience."
  938. [12:32am] lurkd: ".....I have a sudden urge to start a food fight in mess."
  939. [12:33am] AgentFlowers: "You coming with?
  940. [12:33am] AgentFlowers: "
  941. [12:34am] Pres: "Of course. I never pass up an opportunity to put some lead downrange..."
  942. [12:34am] Puppetmaster: "Even if I approved of that plan, there's not enough people there."
