Dark*Matter, Discovery: Pushing for Impeachment

[Falkus]

"No," the Senator said firmly, giving the agents a cold stare. "I want to know what the hell is going on, and who you are? Are you FBI, CIA, Bureau 13?"

"Ma'am, I think-" the Secret Service agent started to say.

"If my life is in danger, I want to know exactly what from," the Senator continued.

"My instruments are going crazy out here!" Z texted to Cade while the senator was talking. "Something's about to happen again!"

"No," the Senator said firmly, giving the agents a cold stare. "I want to know what the hell is going on, and who you are? Are you FBI, CIA, Bureau 13?"

"Ma'am, I think-" the Secret Service agent started to say.

"If my life is in danger, I want to know exactly what from," the Senator continued.

"My instruments are going crazy out here!" Z texted to Cade while the senator was talking. "Something's about to happen again!"

"Senator, those are questions for a more secure time," says Cade firmly, empowered by the fact that he could care less about the Senator's authority and power, not to mention her lack of oversight over him and his employers. "You can prattle on like an idiot, getting yourself, not to mention most of us killed, or you can do as you're f***ing told and we might live."

While saying this, Cade sends an affirmative back to 'Z' and says, "Move it, folks, it's gonna hit, imminently!"

OOC

The power of a respectful fear of a powerful foe, disdain for politicians, and a professional dislike for how poor the security setup is.

"Joker, I'll stick with the Senator and Kevin Costner. I think we should all mosey out of here ASAP and find a good place to hole up." He looked at the senator and shruged. "Ma'am, we're going to keep you safe whether you help us or not. But believe me, it'll be better for all involved if you help us."

When Z warns them of impending activity, Meri...standing to one side so as not to expose herself...throws her jacket over the mirror's face.

"Everyone stay close to the Senator," she suggests. "Getting out of the house is risky...just because it's striking inside doesn't mean there's no backup plan if she leaves. Stay away from windows, mirrors and walls, and stick close. All we have to do is outlast the clock."

"And I need my sword. I'll do a run out to the van."

 

[iwatt]

"Blade, it's right outside the door, with your shield. Behind the bushes."

 

[industrygothica]

"Uhh.. aren't swords shiny?" Nick asks. "You think?"

 

[Falkus]

OOC: Back in the new year, and let's hope we can keep this going!

With a mad dash, Merideth made it outside, grabbing her sword and shield, and turning around and reentering the room in just a few seconds.

At the same time, Cade got another message from Z. "I think I've got it. It's got something to do with the ra-"

At which point the mirror suddenly exploded outwards, spraying shards over the room, flying through the air, catching and reflecting the light in a dazzling display.

The entire team, the last bodyguard and the senator found themselves deposited in the hellish otherworld version of the house.

"We aren't in Kansas anymore." The con-man removed the clip of his gun and replaced it with blessed ammo. "I guess now we kill whatever it is?" Turning to the Secret Service agent, he adds. "Try to keep yourself between whatever comes and her. You might slow it down."

 

[Shayuri]

"Hell," Meredith curses. She backs towards the Senator, covering the side the agent isn't on. "Everyone stay as calm as you can. This thing tries to scare you to put you off balance. Eyes open, and no running. It'll probably try to separate us next. Don't let it."
