"Search the rooms," Kodiak says. "Vibro, Trailblazer, phase through the rooms on your left. Communicators open at all times. Dara, Amazon, check the stairwells at the end of the hall. Let us see what this card is," he says, reaching for the knife imbedded in the wall, but he stops before grabbing it, nose wrinkling as he catches a scent.
"Contact poison," he growls, and X12 catches the same scent he detected faintly in the emergency room. In fact, he actually recognizes the scent. It's very similar to a type of poison made from a breed of lotus that invokes lethargy and paralysis. Like many poisons, it is only dangerous when first applied and for a short time thereafter. A few minutes of contact with the air should negate the effect, though you are fairly confident you can resist its effects.
Dara and Raisa bang open the stairwell doors and go on their searches, and a scant few seconds later, after a few surprised shouts and screams from hospital employees and patients in the rooms, Carl and Trailblazer appear, Carl at the far end of the hall and Trailblazer near you.
"I got nothin', partner," Trailblazer says.
Carl looks down and shakes his head, having found nothing.

Tyra grins toothily. "Oh, he's fiesty isn't he. I can see why you like him. But don't worry, stripes," she says, plopping down in a nearby chair. "I'm not going to rob my daughter of her favorite boytoy just yet."
You get the distinct feeling that most of what Tyra says is designed to get under someone's skin. Whether it is on purpose or just by habit, you don't know.
"But you two go ahead and talk. I have my own questions to ask you," Tyra says. Then she continues without actually giving you a chance to talk. "Like what you think you're doing playing hero when I told the human lightning rod that under no circumstances were you to be put on any stupid little teams. And I thought we had an agreement about this sort of thing. I was willing to let you go to that school so you could be around other people without worrying about discrimination, but we agreed," she says, getting animated.

"I'm just avoiding arrest," he says with a casual smile. "She'll be fine, won't you Angelique?" Empath nods dazedly as she wanders over towards Titan, smelling her rose dreamily. He pulls his arm free of you and starts over to Tara. "I just threw up the illusion when Angelique and Titan came in. Add in a little voice projection and you were still actually talking to Tara. Now come on, help me at least get her up so we can get out of here before Titan comes to. My powers aren't nearly as effective againt guys."

You pop back through another light and into the mainfraim of M-Tac, entering by the same route you exited by. You aren't very surprised to see the two M-Tac cyber-guards still in the room. You are standing directly behind the female, who has her back to you. Near the door, you hear a scream as a rather familiar looking troll has a rather familiar looking girl clutched in his oversized hands. The male guard is standing in front of the troll.
"The captain says we're to make her exit into holding cell F3," the female says. "If she won't, we delete her here."
The male guard's shoulder slump a bit and he turns, saying. "I remember when we could just disconnect hackers and they didn't actually physically come into our look out behind you!" he shouts in warning.
Only one made the surprise roll! Your current weapon is a water gun (energy blast -- water)
