<Knyght> Eleanor shows up in briefing with her combat gear and rifle slung over her shoulder.
10:00 PM L<•LadyKatie> Hanna arrives
10:00 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas exists in his nice all-black suit.
10:01 PM T<taylor_itkin> You are in the briefing room. In the center of the room, there is a table with folders and a projector on it. The briefer stands beside a projecting screen. He gestures to the table. “Please, sit. Take a folder. We’ll get started.”
10:01 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor grabs a folder!
10:01 PM L<•LadyKatie> Hanna is okay with sitting and reading
10:01 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor finds a spot to sit herself down, flipping open the folder to see its contents.
10:02 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas sits with his own folder, legs crossed as he scans over the important stuff.
10:02 PM T<taylor_itkin> Inside the folder you find a picture of a dark-haired woman. Here eyes are a piercing blue, and her lips pulled tightly together, almost as if she’s upset with whoever snapped the photo. The agent clicks a button, and the projector shows an image of the same woman. “Agent Tanya Kobalsky,” the briefer says. “She was planted in a police force for years, and was recently sent on a recovery mission for an
10:02 PM anomalous object. I’m not high enough in the chain to tell you what it was, but whatever it was, made her go insane, so says the police she ‘worked’ for.”
10:02 PM "Following so far?"
10:03 PM L<•LadyKatie> Hanna nods
10:03 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas nods as well.
10:03 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor nods her head.
10:03 PM T<taylor_itkin> "Good. Try and keep up."
10:03 PM “The police forced her into an asylum. Said it was their right as her employers. We aren’t sure whether or not she actually lost her mind, but regardless, she knows classified Foundation information. If any of the psychiatrists deem her even remotely sane, then there will be lots of explaining to do if she’s spilled anything.”
10:04 PM "I bet you can tell where this is going."
10:04 PM K<Knyght> "I can assume it will be rescuing her?" She perks up. "Or other less reputable options.
10:04 PM A<Aphex_> "Recovery of yet another major asset, joy." Jonas mutters.
10:05 PM T<taylor_itkin> "That's the plan, yes, recovery."
10:05 PM “We will be flying you by helicopter to the Noble Gardens, an asylum located in Vermont. You will be dropped 100 meters away from the front gates. Your mission objective is to get in, find Agent Kobalsky, free her, and return to the drop point.”
10:05 PM K<Knyght> "Will we be expecting any combat?" She asks curiously.
10:05 PM T<taylor_itkin> "That all depends," the briefer says, "on how quiet you are. The insane don't tend to like loud noises."
10:06 PM "That being said, the staff at Noble Gardens..."
10:06 PM "Have a reputation for being a tad sadistic to their patients. So watch yourselves."
10:07 PM "Understood, Agents? Any questions?"
10:08 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas sighs, checking his watch before also checking his gear- suppressed M1934 in his blazer's inner pocket. "No inquiries at present."
10:08 PM T<taylor_itkin> "The rest of you?"
10:08 PM L<•LadyKatie> "I'm fine."
10:09 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor shrugs. "Nothing I can think of."
10:09 PM T<taylor_itkin> The briefer nods. "Grab your gear. Meet out on the helipad ASAP. You'll fly out as soon as you're all there."
10:11 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would grab her gear up and head off.
10:11 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas heads out to the helipad.
10:11 PM L<•LadyKatie> Hanna heads out.
10:13 PM T<taylor_itkin> The helicopter ride is relatively uneventful. In fact, completely so.
10:13 PM You eventually reach the drop zone. "Hop out!" calls the pilot. "And be careful!"
10:13 PM Roll a STR for me.
10:14 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would hop out!
10:14 PM 4df+3
10:14 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: 4 (4df+3=+, 0, -, +)
10:14 PM L<•LadyKatie> 4df+3

10:14 PM T<taylor_itkin> 4df+3 damn those winds are strong
10:14 PM G<Glacon> taylor_itkin: damn those winds are strong: 2 (4df+3=+, 0, -, -)
10:15 PM T<taylor_itkin> You all clamber out of the helicopter and slide down the rope. Unfortunately, Hanna just doesn't have the strength to hold on the whole time. Someone roll an AGI if you want to catch her.
10:15 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor gives it a shot, jolting her hand out to try and save her teammate.
10:15 PM 4df+5
10:15 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: 6 (4df+5=-, +, +, 0)
10:16 PM T<taylor_itkin> Eleanor, you *just* manage to catch Hanna before she falls the dreaded 2 feet out of the air.
10:17 PM K<Knyght> Well, better than faceplanting.
10:17 PM T<taylor_itkin> So eventful! Good job, Eleanor.
10:17 PM You can see the gates of Noble Gardens in the distance. Damn, they look high. You can’t tell what they’re made from at this distance, though. The perimeter is lined with guards, probably one every 20 meters or so. The terrain is pretty rocky, with boulders the size of trees in some places. The fence also has some watchtowers on it, one on every corner, and one in the middle of each side.
10:17 PM You are free to move.
<Knyght> "You sure this isn't some military compound?" Eleanor checks her rifle, loads it, adjusts her camo and moves to the closest boulder so they can regroup and plan.
10:18 PM A<Aphex_> "For something labelled an asylum, this appears to be far from the standard fare by way of security." Jonas adjusts his tie, following Elenor.
10:18 PM *Eleanor
10:18 PM L<•LadyKatie> "I don't understand why we're sneaking in. Couldn't we pose as her employers moving her to a different facility?"
10:19 PM T<taylor_itkin> Suddenly, you hear a CRACK!
10:19 PM A<Aphex_> "An excellent question Miss Dam, but a futile one. Far above our paygra-"
10:19 PM K<Knyght> "Well... What should we do... I'd say study patrol patterns and cut a line through the fence, provided it isn't electrified." She checks her gear before- Crack?
10:19 PM T<taylor_itkin> PERC if you want to know what it was.
10:19 PM K<Knyght> 4df+6 Perc
10:19 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: Perc: 6 (4df+6=-, 0, 0, +)
10:19 PM A<Aphex_> 4df+3
10:19 PM G<Glacon> Aphex_: 6 (4df+3=+, +, +, 0)
10:19 PM L<•LadyKatie> 4df+3
10:19 PM G<Glacon> LadyKatie: 4 (4df+3=+, 0, 0, 0)
10:20 PM T<taylor_itkin> You all peek out behind the boulder and see- oh god, you really wish you didn't see that.
10:20 PM The guards inside the gate have a row of asylum patients on the ground, on their knees. One guard walks down the line with a gun.
10:21 PM You hear 4 more distinct cracks. Then, as the final patient falls, the guards lay a banner over them. And walk away.
10:21 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor brushes her hair back, blinking a few times. "What is happening... Why are they executing patients..."
10:22 PM A<Aphex_> "Corruption, most likely." Jonas doesn't bat an eye. "We need to move. Focus on moving with the gunfire."
10:22 PM ← •LadyKatie left (ladyofthe@melody.and.moon)
10:22 PM T<taylor_itkin> The gunfire is over.
10:22 PM K<Knyght> "Fair point. Let's go." Eleanor seems more confused by the fact they're KILLING PATIENTS, rather than the sight of it itself.
10:23 PM She'd wait but, as no gunfire continues. "Well... What now? They've gone back inside."
10:23 PM T<taylor_itkin> Fortunately, this leaves only a few guards on the ground, outside the fence.
10:23 PM K<Knyght> Is there any foliage or cover they can use to get up close to the wall?
10:24 PM T<taylor_itkin> The boulders are there! And there are bunches of smaller rocks along the way. Easily sneakable.
10:24 PM A<Aphex_> "Outer perimeter, move quietly." He draws his pistol. "All guards from here onward are to be considered hostile, I assume?"
10:24 PM K<Knyght> "No objections on my end." She keeps her rifle for now, and moves along next to him.
10:25 PM T<taylor_itkin> SNEAK to not get noticed.
10:25 PM A<Aphex_> 4df+4 Sneak to... well... sneak.
10:25 PM G<Glacon> Aphex_: Sneak to... well... sneak.: 3 (4df+4=0, -, +, -)

10:25 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: Sneak: 3 (4df+5=0, -, 0, -)
10:25 PM T<taylor_itkin> 4df+3 GUARD PERC
10:25 PM G<Glacon> taylor_itkin: GUARD PERC: 1 (4df+3=+, -, -, -)
10:26 PM T<taylor_itkin> You manage to make it within 5 meters of the fence before having to face a guard head-on. He hasn't spotted you yet, but if you move from your cover, he will, no doubt.
10:27 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor gestures to him. "You have the silenced weapon, I suppose your go."
10:28 PM A<Aphex_> "As much as I would rather not... perhaps I can try rendering him unconscious?"
10:29 PM K<Knyght> "We'd need to get over the fence, or through to get to him. Unless you can perfectly arc a rock up above the wall."
10:29 PM "Unless you have some other plan?
10:30 PM A<Aphex_> "Over the fence and deal with him hand to hand. You can stay here to provide covering fire if you would rather do that."
10:30 PM T<taylor_itkin> The guard is outside the fence.
10:31 PM K<Knyght> Oh, sorry, misunderstood.
10:31 PM Eleanor nods then. "Sure, I will do so." She kneels and readies her rifle.
10:31 PM A<Aphex_> Ditto. Jonas will attempt to sneak up and knock the guard unconscious. Melee?
10:32 PM T<taylor_itkin> SNEAK and MELEE please.
10:32 PM A<Aphex_> 4df+4 SNK
10:32 PM G<Glacon> Aphex_: SNK: 4 (4df+4=0, +, -, 0)

10:33 PM G<Glacon> taylor_itkin: guard pdef: 6 (4df+5=-, +, +, 0)
10:33 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor keeps her rifle leveled at the guard tower closest to them, for now.
10:33 PM T<taylor_itkin> The guard notices you as you sneak up, but you manage to knock him out before he hears anything.
10:33 PM he says*
10:35 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor pulls her rifle up and goes to move up to him.
10:35 PM A<Aphex_> He drags the guard out of sight, then jumps the fence as quietly as possible.
10:36 PM T<taylor_itkin> STR, Jonas.
10:36 PM A<Aphex_> 4df+2 STR
10:36 PM G<Glacon> Aphex_: STR: 2 (4df+2=-, -, +, +)
10:36 PM T<taylor_itkin> Unfortunately, the fence is just too damn high.
10:36 PM Jonas is unable to climb the fence.
10:37 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would try to cut open the fence with her pair of clippers. Engi?
10:38 PM T<taylor_itkin> No need! The fence is chain-link. Extremely easy to cut! It cuts with ease.
10:38 PM A<Aphex_> "Blasted fence!" He whispers.
10:38 PM K<Knyght> She would cut it in an upsidedown L fashion so she can slip in with Jonas and fold it back into place.
10:39 PM T<taylor_itkin> You both slip through the fence unnoticed. Inside the fence, you notice a field, maybe 30 meters, leading to the entry way. There's a warden station in the middle of the field. The grass is extremely unkempt- it's almost as high as your chests.
New messages since you tabbed out
10:41 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would try to slowly crawl her way up to the warden station then?
10:41 PM T<taylor_itkin> SNEAK
<Knyght> 4df+5
10:41 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: 5 (4df+5=-, -, +, +)
10:42 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas keeps his distance to cover her.
10:42 PM T<taylor_itkin> You crawl to the station unnoticed. If you were to peek inside, you would see that the station is actually empty.
10:43 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor looks for an unseen way into said building, for any cameras, and so on.
10:44 PM T<taylor_itkin> PERC
10:44 PM K<Knyght> 4df+6
10:44 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: 5 (4df+6=-, 0, -, +)
10:45 PM T<taylor_itkin> You notice no cameras, and manage to find a window that is unlocked.
10:46 PM K<Knyght> She would peek, and try to clamber inside after motioning to Jonas that it's clear.
10:47 PM T<taylor_itkin> Once inside the station, you notice some papers strewn around the floor, which are all blank. You also find a locker that is closed.
10:47 PM A<Aphex_> He follows, checking for cameras and whatnot as well. He'll check the papers momentarily.
10:48 PM K<Knyght> She'd try to open the locker! She has lockpicking equipment if needed.
10:49 PM T<taylor_itkin> The locker is unlocked! Inside, you find...lord, this place is violent. You find a  bloody baton in two pieces, a rifle with no magazine, and a piano wire with- what is that red stuff? Rust? PERC to identify.
10:50 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas grabs the papers and folds them in half, then tucks them into his blazer pocket.
10:51 PM K<Knyght> Perc
10:51 PM 4df+6
10:51 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: 5 (4df+6=+, -, 0, -)
10:51 PM T<taylor_itkin> Oh, that's blood. Definitely blood. Not rust. So very definitely blood.
10:52 PM K<Knyght> She could'a guessed!
10:52 PM She'd go to move out with him again into the grass.
10:53 PM T<taylor_itkin> There are no forseeable obstacles between you and the entrance.
10:53 PM K<Knyght> Nothing to hide behind either? Or does the grass persist?
10:54 PM T<taylor_itkin> The grass might persist.
10:54 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would keep crawling through the grass up to the building again.
10:55 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas stays low and follows Eleanor, pistol drawn.
10:55 PM T<taylor_itkin> You make it to the entrance unharmed.
10:55 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor stops, and looks for any alternative ways in, and also checks if the main door is locked or not if she can see so from here.
10:56 PM T<taylor_itkin> There are no alternative ways in, however, when you touch the door-
10:56 PM Eleanor, MDEF to not scream as the door shocks you.
10:58 PM K<Knyght> She never say she tried to touch it.
10:58 PM I* never said she tried to touch it*
10:58 PM T<taylor_itkin> How else would you check for it to be locked?
10:59 PM K<Knyght> See if there's a noticeable lock from where she's sitting in the grass.
10:59 PM T<taylor_itkin> oh
10:59 PM Redact
10:59 PM (well now that just won't happen)
10:59 PM You see no locks.
11:00 PM K<Knyght> I'll say, to progress, she tries, and rolls MDEF?
11:00 PM T<taylor_itkin> sure then
11:00 PM K<Knyght> 4df+5 Mdef?
11:00 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: Mdef?: 4 (4df+5=+, 0, -, -)
11:01 PM T<taylor_itkin> You yelp, Eleanor, but not loudly. You go unnoticed.
11:03 PM K<Knyght> She pulls her hand back, going to wrap it up in the lower half of her shirt and try again.
11:03 PM T<taylor_itkin> The door opens easily this time.
<Knyght> She pulls it open and tries to slip inside.
11:04 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas follows.
11:05 PM T<taylor_itkin> You both make it inside safely.
11:05 PM The entrance hall is empty, and pretty well lit. In the center, there is a large reception desk, the chairs of which are all tipped over. Along the walls there are 4 offices, all doors closed.
11:06 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would stay against a wall, looking around. "Well...:" She speaks quietly. "What do you think we should try?" She goes to peer down the halls to see if anyone is walking.
11:06 PM T<taylor_itkin> No one is.
11:06 PM But, as you peer down the hallway, the only hallway:
11:07 PM You see staircase, with a sign that reads...well, you can't quite make it out. But it's still the only way to go.
11:07 PM A<Aphex_> "It appears we can only go one way for now." He nods to the stairwell, speaking quietly as well.
11:08 PM K<Knyght> She nods, going to follow him. She does try to check the reception desk if she can for a patient listing.
11:09 PM T<taylor_itkin> PERC, Eleanor.
11:09 PM K<Knyght> 4df+6
11:09 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: 9 (4df+6=+, +, +, 0)
11:10 PM T<taylor_itkin> Eleanor, you have the eyes of a fucking hawk apparently.
11:10 PM You search behind the desk, and you find the following:
11:11 PM A set of keys, all shiny. Empty ink bottles, some pens, and- is that...is that a doctor hiding under the desk? Yeah, that's...a doctor. He stares up at you, eyes wide.
11:12 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor aims her rifle at him, glancing over to jonas and nudging towards the desk with her head.
11:12 PM T<taylor_itkin> He keeps staring.
11:14 PM A<Aphex_> He sneaks over, eyeing the doctor. "I would imagine you speak English. Your name, please, before my partner kills you."
11:15 PM T<taylor_itkin> "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!!" He suddenly starts frantically trying to get away from you.
11:16 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas goes to knock his ass out before he spooks anyone.
11:16 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would try to push him down again if able, gesturing to Jonas.
11:16 PM T<taylor_itkin> AGI, both of you.
11:17 PM A<Aphex_> 4df+4 AGI
11:17 PM G<Glacon> Aphex_: AGI: 3 (4df+4=-, 0, 0, 0)

11:18 PM T<taylor_itkin> Both of you miss, although Eleanor manages to grab his shoe. He loses one AGI. However, he is BOLTING down the hallway.
11:19 PM K<Knyght> Given their cover is now blown. She goes to blow his brains out quickly.

11:19 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas takes a follow-up shot if needed.
11:19 PM T<taylor_itkin> He falls. His head has a hole in it.
11:20 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor quickly pulls the bolt back on her rifle and chambers a new round, going to rush over to his body. "There's keys on the desk."
11:20 PM Eleanor tries to check his body for ID, keys, notes, anything.
11:21 PM T<taylor_itkin> PERC, Eleanor
11:21 PM A<Aphex_> ... Or not. He holsters his pistol, gets the keys and checks the patient roster if it's around.
11:21 PM K<Knyght> 4df+6 Perc
11:21 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: Perc: 8 (4df+6=0, +, 0, +)
11:22 PM T<taylor_itkin> You find an ID badge. It reads: "Doctor". Just the word "Doctor". You also manage to find a syringe in his pocket, filled with...something. No idea what it might do, although it looks kind of thick for a liquid.
11:23 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would hold onto that, and pick up the ID, going to drag the body back and tuck it behind the desk.
11:23 PM T<taylor_itkin> Do you pick up the keys?
11:23 PM For logs sake?
11:24 PM K<Knyght> Yes?
11:24 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas has picked up the keys from the desk, if that's what you're asking.
11:24 PM T<taylor_itkin> Yes that was the question, thank you.
11:25 PM A<Aphex_> Again, he looks for a patient roster.
11:26 PM T<taylor_itkin> There is none.
11:27 PM A<Aphex_> Anything else of serious importance in the desk?
11:27 PM T<taylor_itkin> Nope.
11:27 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor takes watch for now while he searches.
11:30 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas shakes his head, the gestures to the stairwell.
11:30 PM K<Knyght> She nods, and would move up to the stairwell, withdrawing her pistol and slinging her rifle over her shoulder.
11:31 PM T<taylor_itkin> You make it to the stairwell. You can now see the sign reads "Medical Commons".
11:33 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor begins to move up the stairs, assuming the only way is up?
11:33 PM T<taylor_itkin> It sure isQ
11:33 PM !*
11:33 PM You reach the door.
11:34 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor would move up to it. Is it locked this time?
11:34 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas covers their six.
11:34 PM T<taylor_itkin> It is locked! Fortunately, you have about 3 keys on that keyring you picked up.
11:35 PM Soulless → •Soulless|Dreammin
11:35 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor tries one of the keys.
11:36 PM T<taylor_itkin> Nope, not that one.
11:37 PM K<Knyght> She tries, another key!
11:37 PM T<taylor_itkin> This one works!
11:37 PM A<Aphex_> Jonas is ever vigilant.
11:38 PM K<Knyght> She'd slowly turn the key and try to peek in, slightly parting the door.
11:38 PM T<taylor_itkin> The Commons are relatively empty, save for the guard stations on either side. Unfortunately, the lighting is quite dim. There is a pair of guards patrolling, but their backs are turned to you at the moment. The room is also filled with large pillars, although they appear to be more decorative than structural.
11:39 PM K<Knyght> Do they seem alarmed right now?
11:40 PM T<taylor_itkin> Their backs are turned to you
<Knyght> She gestures to them, raising her handgun. "Same time?" She'd whisper.
11:41 PM A<Aphex_> "I suppose. On three?" He'd whisper back.
11:43 PM K<Knyght> She nods, tapping her foot one, two, three times.
11:43 PM Then firing

11:45 PM A<Aphex_> "Dammit!" He whisperyells. One more?
11:45 PM ⇐ LilySleep quit (we.have@beautiful.cosmos) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
11:45 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor tries to snap to the second guard and fire, if she can.
11:46 PM Not in time to stop the yell of course but, to shut him up now.
11:46 PM T<taylor_itkin> AGI, Eleanor.
11:46 PM K<Knyght> 4df+5
11:46 PM G<Glacon> Knyght: 8 (4df+5=+, +, 0, +)
11:46 PM T<taylor_itkin> You manage to snap to him in time to stop him yelling too much, and pull some magic from your previous shot. Unfortunately, you've attracted attention.
11:47 PM A warden saunters over, smug and...slightly crazy looking. He has a WAY too big baton for his own good. That thing looks like it could hurt.
11:47 PM .ch E, J
11:47 PM G<Glacon> taylor_itkin: E
11:47 PM T<taylor_itkin> Eleanor, you move first. Then Jonas.

11:48 PM T<taylor_itkin> (o)
11:48 PM (too late)
11:48 PM A<Aphex_> "My apologies, Miss." Jonas steels himself for a fight.
11:48 PM K<Knyght> Eleanor looks to the big baddie, swapping to her rifle after holstering her weapon. She'd find a place to cover Jonas.

12:20 AM The Warden dies.
12:20 AM Somehow, none of this caused anyone to hear you. Weird.
12:21 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor reloads her magazine of rounds, going to check the warden's body for anything important, sinking a round in his temple to make sure he's truly dead.
12:21 AM T<taylor_itkin> Anyway, you see three rooms ahead of you: One on the left, labeled "Male Processing", one in the middle, labelled "Mess Hall", and one on the right labelled "Female Processing"
12:21 AM ⇐ Smaugnolia quit (IfYouDie@Canada.you.die.in.real.life) Quit: Leaving.
12:22 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor gestures to Jonas. "Female Processing... Our target is female, yes? We should probably head that way..."
12:23 AM A<Aphex_> "That is correct. We should be on our way."
12:23 AM T<taylor_itkin> You make it to the door of Female Processing with no hassle. Seems like the Warden was the only one posted in this general area.
12:23 AM K<Knyght> She nods, after checking over the warden she'd proceed.
12:24 AM T<taylor_itkin> You find nothing on the warden, by the way.
12:24 AM K<Knyght> Nod.
12:24 AM She'd move towards the door, holstering her pistol and withdrawing her rifle from her shoulder.
12:25 AM T<taylor_itkin> The door is sturdy-looking. No windows.
12:25 AM K<Knyght> She checks for a lock, again, before trying to open it.
12:26 AM T<taylor_itkin> It is unlocked, though as soon as you touch the doorknob, you hear a sickening CRUNCH!
12:28 AM Opening the door, you see the body of a guard fall to the ground, and another dead guard already there. You see two asylum patients just...standing there. It looks like the warden fell really close to the patient. PERC if you wanna guess how.
12:28 AM K<Knyght> Crunch? Eleanor opens the door, raising her rifle and moving in, training it on the patients.
12:28 AM 4df+6
12:28 AM G<Glacon> Knyght: 6 (4df+6=+, +, -, -)
12:29 AM T<taylor_itkin> It's pretty obvious, Eleanor, that the patient attacked the guard. And somehow succeeded. She snapped the guard's neck. Both patients stare at you, absently. They say nothing. They do not move. They...stare.
12:30 AM There is a desk on the side of the room, near where the guard fell.
12:31 AM K<Knyght> She keeps her rifle trained. "Move over to the desk, I'll... Watch the two of them... Unless it's appropriate to just put them down..."
12:33 AM A<Aphex_> "Keep them alive." He moves to the desk.
12:34 AM T<taylor_itkin> They don't move. They don't say anything. They just...continue staring. Their eyes follow you, Jonas.
12:34 AM PERC roll Jonas if you explore the desk.

12:34 AM G<Glacon> Aphex_: PERC: 2 (4df+3=0, +, -, -)
12:35 AM T<taylor_itkin> 4df+3 seen?
12:35 AM G<Glacon> taylor_itkin: seen?: 2 (4df+3=0, 0, 0, -)
12:35 AM T<taylor_itkin> Jonas, you manage to catch a glimpse of what looks to be a safe on the floor! It looks like it could be opened with a key.
12:37 AM A<Aphex_> He gestures to it, then produces the key that they have not yet tried.
12:38 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor moves over slowly.
<taylor_itkin> None of the patients react.
12:40 AM A<Aphex_> Jonas goes about unlocking the safe, then.
12:40 AM T<taylor_itkin> The key works! Inside, you find a file and another syringe. It's filled with the same liquid. Maybe it's useful on enemies or something? A cure to something? You don;t know. MED if you want to guess though.
12:41 AM A<Aphex_> 4df No MED but willing to try.
12:41 AM G<Glacon> Aphex_: No MED but willing to try.: 1 (4df=0, 0, 0, +)
12:41 AM T<taylor_itkin> It's enough to give you a hint: you should not inject yourself with this.
12:42 AM A<Aphex_> Common sense would dictate that much.
12:42 AM He pockets it after assuring that there is a safety cap on the needle itself.
12:42 AM T<taylor_itkin> Probably.
12:42 AM There is still the file in the safe.
12:43 AM K<Knyght> If Jonas shows her the syringe, she'd show him the similar one. "Found one on that table downstairs... Forgot about it after I found that doctor."
12:43 AM A<Aphex_> "I will be returning a majority of what we pick up to the lab technicians." He grabs the files.
12:43 AM K<Knyght> "As will eye, provided they don't end up being needed."
12:43 AM ((I... Not eye... I'm so bad...
12:43 AM ((Right phonetics though.
12:43 AM T<taylor_itkin> If you look at the file, you would see that they are actually a file on the woman you are looking for.
12:43 AM A<Aphex_> (It happens)
12:43 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor takes a defensive position near Jonas as he continues to search.
12:44 AM A<Aphex_> "Ah. It seems we have found our agent." Any information on her whereabouts?
12:44 AM T<taylor_itkin> The file details her history with the police, her going insane, aaand....Yes! It lets you know that she is currently in Solitary.
12:45 AM A<Aphex_> "She appears to have been moved to Solitary confinement... joy." He remarks sarcastically.
12:45 AM K<Knyght> "Let's hope she's still there." She nods, looking for any doors out besides the one they entered.
12:46 AM T<taylor_itkin> There's only the door back out and the door to the Female wing. Fortunately, the sign tells you that the Female Solitary is in the Female Wing.
12:47 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor nods to him, taking a wide ring around the room to avoid nearing the two patients, moving to said door.
12:47 AM T<taylor_itkin> The patients still don't move. They haven't moved at all. Are...are they even breathing?
12:48 AM A<Aphex_> Jonas doesn't take the time to find out, making his way to the Solitary confinement area of the Females-only Wing
12:49 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor follows along, keeping her eyes peeled!
12:49 AM T<taylor_itkin> You enter into the Female Wing. The corridor is FILLED with patients out of their cells. None of them move. None of them even /blink/. They all just stare at you.
12:50 AM The door to Solitary is halfway down the hallway, but unfortunately, there are probably 50 of them between you and them.
12:51 AM A<Aphex_> He just keeps slipping in and out of the crowd of what are essentially inmates towards the door.
12:51 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor sighs, keeping her rifle close to herself to move through the hallway, following just behind Jonas.
12:52 AM T<taylor_itkin> Eleanor, SNEAK to avoid tripping and setting off the patients.

12:53 AM You eventually make it to the door. It is locked, unfortunately. You do still have one key though.
12:53 AM K<Knyght> She turns her back and keeps her rifle raised now, motioning for Jonas to do his thing, since he has the keys.
12:53 AM A<Aphex_> He tries the last key, keeping cool.
12:54 AM T<taylor_itkin> The door opens with a loud squeal. ALL EYES TURN TO YOU.
<Aphex_> He slinks through the door, dragging Eleanor with him before slamming the door shut.

12:56 AM T<taylor_itkin> The door shuts with a large crash. Suddenly, from behind you: "HEY!"
12:56 AM K<Knyght> The smaller woman is easily dragged inside.

12:58 AM T<taylor_itkin> "UM, What the fuck are you doing here?"
12:58 AM (the hey was behind you, inside the room)
12:58 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor looks to the source of said voice, quickly reaching for her handgun.
12:59 AM T<taylor_itkin> Behind you is a single guard. He has his gun drawn.
12:59 AM He fires at Jonas.

1:02 AM K<Knyght> (Many words!)
1:03 AM Well, I assume he's dead considering she would have fired her weapon?
1:04 AM T<taylor_itkin> Then yes, he's dead
1:05 AM A<Aphex_> "Lovely... this is one of my nicer suits, too." He checks for any major damage to the stuff he's carrying.
1:05 AM T<taylor_itkin> There are three cells in this room. In the middle cell, you can hear banging coming from the door.
1:06 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor shrugs. "I'll patch it up when we get home, ma' always said I was good with stitching." She holsters her gun again and picks up her rifle.
<Aphex_> "I am quite the seamster myself. Now, about this business."
1:07 AM K<Knyght> She nods, looking to the door. Is the cell locked?"
1:07 AM (Ignore the "*
1:08 AM T<taylor_itkin> For whatever reason, if you were to try it, you would find that it isn't locked.
1:09 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor would gesture to him to raise his weapon, going to move to the side of the door.
1:09 AM Once he's in position, she'd swing it open.
1:09 AM A<Aphex_> He stands, handgun drawn.
1:10 AM T<taylor_itkin> Once the door swings open, Agent Kobalsky tumbles out! She's in a straightjacket, hair is a mess, and she screeches. "FUCK!" She hits the floor facefirst.
1:10 AM A<Aphex_> "Oh dear... Agent Kobalsky, I take it?"
1:12 AM T<taylor_itkin> "Yeah..." She says. "And...I'm not insane, I swear. I'm...I was insane. It's a long story. That.../thing/ they sent me to get..." She shivers. "I'll explain later. Let's leave."
1:12 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor steps back, looking to the door. "Right..." Is the only way out the way they came?
1:12 AM T<taylor_itkin> It is.
1:14 AM K<Knyght> "Keep her in that jacket, just in case." Eleanor gestures to her before moving towards the door. Is there any window?
1:14 AM T<taylor_itkin> There is a window!
<Knyght> She tries to peek out to see what's up in that other room.
1:17 AM A<Aphex_> Jonas keeps Agent Kobalsky restrained.
1:17 AM T<taylor_itkin> The window leads outside.
1:17 AM K<Knyght> Oh I meant a window to that door but, window outside works too. She tries to prop it open.
1:18 AM T<taylor_itkin> It opens.
1:19 AM K<Knyght> If so, she peeks down to see what is below, how high up they are currently, and so on.
1:20 AM T<taylor_itkin> They are only about 20-ish feet high. Easily climbable with a rope. Flat land greets them below, oddly close to the fence!
1:20 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor removes the climbing rope from her pack, looking for something to tie it off on.
1:21 AM T<taylor_itkin> the door of the cell might work!
1:22 AM K<Knyght> Worth a shot, she tries to tie off the rope first, tests the strength, then would start to feed it out the window.
1:23 AM A<Aphex_> Out the wiiiiindooooow when possible.
1:24 AM K<Knyght> Eleanor plops out the window then, going to get to the bottom and help Jonas get the woman down, before cutting a line in the fence again to slip out
1:24 AM T<taylor_itkin> ~FIN~ You all make it back to the helicopter zone in one piece. Agent Kobalsky is...a little worse for wear, but she might make it. Hopefully.
