Jacie looks over at the van Jocelyn is heading towards in time to see John stagger and collapse "Wait!" She calls after Jocelyn as she stands up "That's three people now I've seen approach the van and collapse, that's no coincidence. There's probably a gas leak or something.."
She grabs a piece of the tattered shirt from the man in fatigues and places it over her face. "We'll go pull them to safety, you should stay away in case.. No sense our medic dropping if there is something bad over there."
Jocelyn stops in her tracks.
"I... I guess so," she says. The nurse turns back towards Jacie and Kyle.
"I can keep an eye on the man I just stitched up." Jocelyn returns to the side of the man in fatigues.

Jocelyn is safe for now.

She turns to Kyle and offers him a makeshift 'face mask' "At least, It's probably gas.. only other thing I can think of that could make people pass out like that is radiation..." She looks at him and shrugs "Probly not though.." She wonders if he may be aprehensive now, and continues quickly "Don't worry, I promise you wont start glowing in the dark. Just try not to breath in whatever the gas is."
With that, she rushes off towards the van, giving Jocelyn a reassuring smile and waving Kyle to keep up. "Keep an eye on him til we get them back here!" Jacie calls to Jocelyn as she runs past. 'Hmm, Redshift Energies? Where've I heard that before?' The thought drifts through her mind as she approaches.
Jacie seems to recall something about Redshift Energies...
[sblock=Redshift Energies]That's a pretty good roll, so Jacie recalls quite a bit.
Redshift Energies is a major player in the field of emerging alternative energy resource development and management. They are headquartered in Emerald City and have offices in several American cities, as well as a few cities overseas. Redshift is basically the Exxon/Mobil of the alternative energy industry.
Redshift has three main industrial products. The first is advanced solar panels. Their solar panels are the most efficient and expensive in the world. The US military has considered purchasing this product for deployment on naval ships. The second major product is a combination desalinization and water turbine plant. This is meant to replace electrical power plants and has yet to be deployed anywhere. They have several cities and nations interested, though. Their third major product line is an advanced car and truck batttery that can be deployed in hybrid and electric vehicles. Again, this product is top of the line, very efficient, but also very expensive.
Redshift Energies also provides consulting services to companies and organizations that rely on industrial levels of energy consumption. They are a known US defense contractor and also lobby the US government on behalf of emerging alternative energy resources.
As far as Jacie knows, Redshift Energies is all above-the-board and has not been cited for any major regulatory violations or ethics violations.[/sblock]
When Jacie gets close enough to the van (and Kyle as well, if he follows)...
She feels woozy and light-headed. She sees the people lying on the ground - nine of them, now. As she moves forward, she realizes that the cloth she's using to cover her mouth isn't doing much... not enough to keep her from joining the ranks of the unconscious.
Just as she falls, Jacie notices one of the fallen, a middle-aged man, starting to get up.
So now the fearless know-it-all is off to the next crisis she thinks she knows how to solve.
