[D20 Modern] Paths of Legend: Shadowgate (IC)

[Yttermayn]

OOC: So psi energy is not directly detectable by sensors, but my earpiece can detect my own psi energy? Ya know, I can spin some pretty convincing theoretical technobabble if you need any, Monkey. Just PM me.

At Janice's explanation, Connor shrugs and places the device in his ear. "This thing isn't going to give me brain cancer or anything, is it?" he asks Janice, half serious before heading off in the direction of medical.

OOC: The earpiece doohickey incorporates a piece of the crystal. Basically, anything psionic related, technology, has to incorporate a piece of the crystal to be able to interact with psionic energy. Otherwise, psionic energy is completely invisible and undetectable to all standard means of measuring and detecting energy and radiation.

Max looked the newcomer over carefully, as if he were trying to size him up for a fight. "So why are you telling me? Tell the security guys." Max stood and began to head for the door.


[sblock=ooc]

Sorry if he seems rude........ I think it would be alittle much for him to handle, or even comprehend really. At least right this very second.

Amy grins at the two techs, it seemed not everyone here was a hard arses like in the briefing room. Shaking her head slightly she looks back up at Wilson.

"Well I hope you guys have my back when I'm through that... gate?

My ex used to play World of Warcraft, I've heard it was pretty popular in the states. Never got into it myself, I guess I just don't have the imagination to see myself fighting orcs and elves you know?. This D&D thing? Is that like Research and Development? Design and Development?"

 

[Scott DeWar]

'what the...? two years older...?hmmm, mentle note: talk to the lt when i get a chance...' howie thinks to himself

"so, no uh, wierd dohikies in my head? no strange surgical procedures done by aliens? if that is all, i need to see a man about a horse." Howie looks rather anxious about getting out of med bay.

Nathan arrives in R&D and sees Connor there, speaking to a middle aged, bookish looking woman who peeks around Connor to greet Nathan, "Hi there. Can I help you? Oh, you're the MIT DARPA guy, right? Goody! Have a seat."

Nathan comes in, nodding and starting to reach out to offer his hand. He pauses on seeing Connor and grins.

"Hey, I remember you. You were at the brief..."

He trails off as Connor heads right on by and out the door.

"...fing. Huh." Nathan coughs into his fist, though an unflattering word might have been disguised in that cough. Then he's all smiles again, offering to shake hands with the R&D lady.

"Anyway, yeah, that's me. I was just up in the control room, and I have some questions about that gate device and how it works. I'm assuming you guys in R&D actually deciphered its operating principles, but there's nothing in the design specs about how you originally detected and quantified this unknown energy the thing puts out. What did you use as a detector?"

R&D

Janice shakes Nathan's hand gently, then answers, "We happened to have a Bermudan on the initial discovery crew. The team that found the crystal in '02. Then we figured out we could off small shards without harming the crystal and we used those to find more Bermudans, like Connor."

Medical

The doctor nods to Howie, "No, you're free to go Mr. Blaise."

OOC: Where is Howie going from here?

Connor is greeted by a med tech, "Come on in and let's get this over with shall we?"

The Mess Hall

Danny smiles geekily, pushing his glasses further up his nose, "Dungeons & Dragons, the game that is singlehandedly responsible for the entire fantasy gaming genre." He looks at Wilson smugly as he continues, "WoW wouldn't exist if it weren't for D&D."

Wilson rolls his eyes, "Whatever. While you and Clark and Jen were sitting around pretending to be faeries last night, my team raided some other dork's character funeral. My buddy even put it on youtube."

Danny shakes his head, "You pulled the wings off of flies when you were a kid, didn't you?"

Wilson shrugs, "Still do. What's your point?"

Danny pulls Amy aside, suddenly serious, "Look, I don't know what R&D or the expedition team or whatever has figured out, but I can tell you, they are missing something. Something really big. Those things that came through the gate and took some of our people...I know what they are."

Wilson frowns, "Are you still going on about that? Its a freaking game, dude. You seriously need to get a life."

Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton, Ohio

Morgan takes a sealed manilla envelope out of his coat and tosses it onto Max's bed, "That's the mission report for the last mission involving the Shadowgate. The one from last year. The one that Howie Blaise died on. Read it. Then burn it. I'll be in touch."

Morgan opens the door again and exits the room.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Max stares at the envelope blankly, did he really want to open it? Did he really have a choice? Max carefully opened the package. Few things as of late were making any sort of sense.


Max walked out the door of his examination room, down the hallway, and nearly out the front door before the fire alarm went off. He continued to casually leave the facility even as others seem to be panicing. Why panic? There was no real threat. The fire was contained the a metal bedpan.

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

OOC: Just to clarify, did Max read the contents before he burned it?

 

[Yttermayn]

R&D

Connor is greeted by a med tech, "Come on in and let's get this over with shall we?"

"Hey, Janice said I could melt your brain or something with a thought. What is the medical term for that?" Connor asks, trying to sound serious.
