Apart from all worlds.

"You're welcome to try to figure out the remote. I doubt you could though. It's slightly difficult to operate a complex piece of machinery from a different world. It's not like a gun, you don't just point and shoot. If you have nothing to say that could help figure this thing out, then shut up. I'm trying to think."

"Touchy, touchy, Brainman. Nervous much? Man, you sure could have used some of my training because we were taught how to ignore disturbances when something more important needs our undevided attention but I guess sitting in a lab and pondering the nature of coffee and donuts all day was pretty rough, too.

By the way, regarding 'point and shoot', Wyatt Earp: If you ever get such an itchy trigger-finger again as back there, I am going to take your gun away. Because it's probably a bit too complicated for you."


With a shake of his head Keane goes back what he originally had intended to do before the Egghead had mouthed off again: After making sure that Jacob was really dead he starts to methodically frisk the body and take everything he had on him.

"Jacob, my friend, you weren't really talkative in life - let's see what you have got to say in death."

Pale Jaguar stood several feat away, from the group along the clearing's edge as Mykael and Kaene began to speak. She frowned and hoped that their bickering wouldn't get too loud. She turned towards them and placed a finger to her lips and she quietly spoke in Spanish. "I don't want you two to scare away the animals. If I can find a bird, it might know where a city is..."
 

Mykael turns to Keane, "Try to take my gun and one of us will die. You are not in the military any more boy. Your orders are suggestions now. Until you learn something of my world, don't speak of it." He walks over to Jaques and asks politely, "Perhaps you can serve as translator for me. I would like to know what everyone's name is after all. It only seems polite."
 

Keane only grinned in response. Most eggheads usually overrated their own intelligence but this one went across the whole scale, fantasizing that he could really throw down with a CAT.

"Learn to pay attention next time:

- Mykael, formerly involved in cybernetics,

- Vela from the Tigren six, predatory. Currently in reclamation,

- Jacques de Polignac, bodyguard to the Emperor Napoleon XI of the Great French Empire,

-
"I am Ix Sak B'alam, Lady Pale Jaguar. I am a healer on the island of Cozumel" [Unable to exactly pinpoint which part of the sentence is her name, Keane simply tries to repeat what the auditory playback loops gives him, obviously in very bad Spanish.] who is also staring rather angrily at me right now.

Thanks, Jacob, why couldn't you have some sort of universal translator gizmo on you or something?

- and the inimitable me, Keane Sorutu."


Once again little symbols of light dance in Keane's eyes as he accesses his cyberware.
 


She gave Kaene a bewildered look as she heard what he said while recognizing that, for some unknown reason, he was restating everyone's name. Strangely enough, he seemed to think her entire statement was her name.

She walked up to hiim then stood before him and placed her hand on her chest and said, "Ix Sak Balam." After a brief moment, she then repeated, in spanish, "Señorita Jaguar Pálida (Lady Pale Jaguar)."


OoC: Damn accent's and tildes ... I don't know how to put them into bbcode without copying and pasting

"You're still thinking your the officer, the commander aren't you? Your not, your nothing. The world that made you what you are doesn't exist. You might of been a badass on your version of Earth, but your not as tough as you think you are. Remember little boy, no matter how good you are; someone, somewhere is better than you." Mykael paused for a moment, then added, "I know enough about cybernetics to know what weakness you have. To know that your thought patterns are dependant upon what program you have. I know enough to short circuit it or even reprogram you. Imagine waking up to a blank memory chip, or finding that your cybernetic enhancements would rather harm you than help you. Yes, I can do that. If you want to boss someone around, then walk off. Go find some little kid. I've had enough of you."
 

[sblock=Keane Sorutu]You observe your surroundings and it appears to be a pristine untouched bit of wilderness, beyond your clearing the forest thickens and develops heavy underbrush. You don't immediately spot any wildlife but they were likely frightened away by the tear and your fall. On Jacobs body you find a card sized computer, a Ballistic handgun, a mesh hood of some sort with a link port to the computer. his button sized paratransponders, and a bottle of emergancy rations in pill form.[/sblock]

[sblock=Señorita Pálida Jaguar]You search the clearing and find signs of animals passing through here within the day. Many of the tracks you find are familiar to you, but a few of the larger ones you don't seem to recognize. It has rained within the last 24 hours and the runoff suggests the possiblity of a stream to the south of here. You find eadible berries on a thorny bush at the side of the clearing, They are small and sour. [/sblock]

[sblock=Vela] You scan the clearing, the air is amazingly clean, you do not smell the damaged world of your home. You smell no sign of Pures anywhere nearby. There is flowing water to the south, and between there and here you smell mammal, large unfamiliar, and prey. [/sblock]

[sblock=Jacques de Polignac]You find the landing in the clearing uncomfortable and as you try to get your bearings your 'friends' continue to fight and argue even before they know if they are safe. [/sblock]

[sblock=Mykeal]The flashing red light is obviously a warning. The device is not working as it should. The countdown timer, now slightly over 24 minutes remaining is a recharge indicator opening another window before the device is recharged is not possible. Geographical indicator shows North America, Somewhere in Georgia. Dimensional indicator show Historical Band, Subclass Biological, x54 y-12 z5 from baseline. Previous world Historical Band, Subclass Historical, x35 y42 z4 from baseline. Tracker indicator shows 6 neutrino signals originating from this world but the tracker seems to be damaged in some way.[/sblock]
 

She returns to the bushes then begins filling her gourd with them. After filling her gourd, she takes several of the thorns from the bush and and places them in her medicine pouch before pulling out her bow and arrow.

In Spanish, "A big animal was here several hours ago.. and it went over there.." She pointed to the direction that the tracks lead to.
