Epic M&M: Issue 4 (IC)

[Elementor]

"And what the hell'd you do to our dog??!!" Vince watches the girl closely, ready to stop her if she tries anything. Reaching over for the Wiener dog, Vince will try to see if there is anything he can do to help Pooky.

EPIC HQ
Vincent
You walk around the desk, stepping over and around the assaulting appliances, to check on Pooky. He's definitely been the recipient of a stun blaster attack at extremely short range. He needs a vet, badly, or a doctor that does animals. At the very least, he needs first aid, and you don't have any supplies here to treat him. Without something, he'll probably be dead within thirty minutes at the latest.

Medicine check of 12 to determine the extend of his injuries. There's probably a first aid kit in the offices somewhere. It is a school.

The animated appliances form a little wall around the desk, obviously intent on keeping you back. You see the girl peeking around the corner of the desk. "You hurt the puppy! I didn't hurt the puppy!" she cries. Another wave of energy jolts from her and she gets up, crying and still obviously scared. "I'll -- I'll stop you!"

Johan
As you put Anna in her wheelchair, a pair of your other you's arrive and gather some tools so they can transform the satellite on EPIC HQ into a transmitter to contact the elder team members.

As your blaster duplicate goes through the rooms, he finds six students badly injured from flying shards of glass and the impact of the explosive glass. Two need hospitalization, immediately, though you manage to stabilize them. The other four are probably going to be fine with a trip to the infirmary and some pain killers. You suddenly remember that the communication tower is for long range communication with the teams. The phones in the institute and in the mess hall should still work.

You and your rifle duplicate run to the infirmary. The first thing you come across are caltrops spread in the hall, on the walls and hidden carefully on the ceiling. You have to pick your way through them carefully to avoid hurting yourself. In fact, looking at them, they seem to have a green liquid in their center and the prongs look like they would possibly inject it.

And Vince dodges a proverbial bullet so long ago without realizing it.

You both pick your way through the field of caltrops and enter the infirmary. Nurse Ogawa is still on the floor, breathing weakly. Luckily, you're in the infirmary with a full range of gear available. You treat her blaster burn and she comes around. Probably a good thing given the amount of injured you just found.

Medicine check of 19 is enough to give first aid to her injuries and bring her around.

Michelle
You fly to the front of the school and find the front doors wide open. The door to the main office is open as well and two of the vending machines are tromping towards the office, along with the hall clock... a very strange sight. You hear a young girl screaming, "You hurt the puppy! I didn't hurt the puppy! I'll -- I'll stop you!"

WAVE WORLD AMUSEMENT PARK
Sanjay
If Captain Majors is concerned or blames you, she doesn't show it. Then again, little miss emotionless doesn't express much of everything. An officer comes and takes a full statement, accompanied by a M-Tac officer, who gets a full and detailed description of the mutant you fought.

The police take the assassins into custody and cart them off, and M-Tac finally leaves an hour later. It's rapidly approaching 5PM.

"Hey, sport," Monica says, still in hybrid form, but changed into her sundress. "This day is a bust. Wanna go back to the school?"

"Yeah, I'm for that," Cosmo says. "Everyone else already headed back, and Rebound still isn't looking that good."

Loki
You stand outside the facility with Monica. "Not much fun today," she says. "How do you handle... that?" she says, looking back at the amusement park.

"Yeah, let's get outta here," Sanjay agrees.

 

[Deva]

Do you think Master Wen is joking? Dara asks Raisa.

Raisa can't help but grin as Master Wen goes off on the wrestling. I hope not, she answers Dara. Handsome Rob so lives up to his name, and if it annoys Kevin I am all for watching it!

She finishes the rice and chicken. "Master Wen, I know right now we're not suppose to, but do you think we might be able to leave the compound at some point before we go back to Epic?"

 

[Dalamar]

The two proceed with establishing long range communication as planned.

"Would you like to come along and help me to transform the satellite receiver into a long range transmitter, Anna? You have definately more experience with electronic devices than I do."

The blaster-toting duplicate goes to the closest phone to call in professional medical crew and, if given the permission to leave the phone, then goes back to check on the injured.

"Are you alright, nurse Ogawa? We have multiple wounded students, two with severe wounds, and I only have basic first aid skills, so your skills are needed", Johan says as his duplicate starts collecting painkillers etc. from the infirmary.

China

She finishes the rice and chicken. "Master Wen, I know right now we're not suppose to, but do you think we might be able to leave the compound at some point before we go back to Epic?"

He nods in response. "I talk with mayor when he return tomorrow from neighbouring village. It be just few days so town know who you are and why you here. That way, will be better for you. No hostility from town people. Not that Master Wen think you have energy for going to town in next week or so," he grins.

EPIC HQ

The two proceed with establishing long range communication as planned.

"Would you like to come along and help me to transform the satellite receiver into a long range transmitter, Anna? You have definately more experience with electronic devices than I do."

"I think you have to do that," Anna say, looking up at the high roof of the EPIC headquarters. "My armor is gone, and my chest is really sore. It's like Stryke knew exactly where to hit me," she says, holding her side. "And I'm not much use to anyone when I can't move."

The blaster-toting duplicate goes to the closest phone to call in professional medical crew and, if given the permission to leave the phone, then goes back to check on the injured.

"Medical crews will be there in a matter of minutes. You'll need to make sure they can get in past the gates," the 911 operator says.

"Are you alright, nurse Ogawa? We have multiple wounded students, two with severe wounds, and I only have basic first aid skills, so your skills are needed", Johan says as his duplicate starts collecting painkillers etc. from the infirmary.

"I... I think I'll be fine. Vincent acted like I should expect to die by working here," she says, stunned. "Is there some sort of new policy I should be knowing about? He wasn't even concerned for my safety."

You also realize that you better start working on getting those caltrops out of the hallway right fast.

Wave World Amusement Park

"Yeah, let's get outta here," Sanjay agrees.

By the time you get changed into your clothes, it's after five. The Mag-Lev station is nearly empty, as are the cars as you board. Straightjacket and Cosmo help Rebound along.

Monica sits beside you, tucking her legs under her and wrapping her tail around herself. "You sure make for an exciting date, sport," she says. "Though I think you owe me a back scratch. Guess I'm lucky that shapeshifter didn't stab me," she purrs as she leans against you. "Yup, you definitely owe me a back scratch." She rests her haid against your shoulder and closes her eyes. You're pretty sure she starts to drift off, her ear twitching atop her head.

Michelle
You fly to the front of the school and find the front doors wide open. The door to the main office is open as well and two of the vending machines are tromping towards the office, along with the hall clock... a very strange sight. You hear a young girl screaming, "You hurt the puppy! I didn't hurt the puppy! I'll -- I'll stop you!"

Michelles forcefield flickers to life around her as she stops the vending machines from entering the main office. Once the way is clear she will enter the room looking around.

Vince, what's going on here?

 

[Elementor]

Vince, what's going on here?

"This piece of work," Vince says nodding towards the device controlling girl, "is the culprit that let Split disable ARIS and get into this part of the building. Watch her close, she came out of the computer. She seems pretty naive though. I took out 3 Splits on the way here and Ninja Split left some nasty caltrops on the floor and walls down by the nurses office. The nurse is hurt down there too. I was lucky to even find her," he says nodding towards the girl again, "I heard Pooky yelp and came to investigate. An invisible split was sitting here waiting to retrieve our little guest here I would assume. I took out Split and guess who jumped out of the computer and landed right at my feet. Pooky's hurt pretty bad though. I have to get him to a vet fast."

Anticipating Michele's response, Vince continues, "Can you handle her here? How is everyone else? Split stole a bunch of blood samples from the nurses station as well as my wing that Jackal ripped off. And I am getting REALLY tired of duplicates."

 

[Mule]

You stand outside the facility with Monica. "Not much fun today," she says. "How do you handle... that?" she says, looking back at the amusement park.

"I admit it was a huge shock, the first time we were attacked while aboard the Mag-Lev on the way to the institue. I didn't handle it very well. There are some of us who are still having trouble dealing with the pressure (thinking of Kevin). But you get used to it, and being around the EPIC team instills a sense of... of... heroism I guess. The things those guys have done, I just hope I can measure up, someday," Randall says with a distant look in his eyes. But then he returns to the present. "Let's get going, I'll come with you back to your house."

 

[Mimic]

"Can you handle her here? How is everyone else? Split stole a bunch of blood samples from the nurses station as well as my wing that Jackal ripped off. And I am getting REALLY tired of duplicates."

Everyone seems ok, ARIS told me about the nurse so I sent a couple of Johans to tend to her. Get Pooky to the infirmary and then go get Mendez and get some medics out here.

Once Vince and Pooky are gone, Michelle will turn her attention towards the girl. "Hi, I'm Michelle, what's your name?"
