"Please tell Master Wen we need more help, and there's somebody here who needs to pay off some debts to society that could be put to better use than whatever he's doing at the academy," X12 replies through the link.

Heading off to the boys area, X12 enters Kevin's room.

"Get up, Kevin - you're coming with me," he says with a directive tone. "There's a mess in town and you're gonna help clean it up, just like the rest of us."

"I think I'll do just that," Johan's duplicate says to Sanchez and heads to see Thunder, asking ARIS for directions on his way.

"Would you like for me to help you with the repairs?" Johan asks from Anna.

The rest of the dups will keep working on the scanner untill further notice.

 

[Mimic]

Once Aris is turned off, Michelle takes another sniff of the rose and proceeds to take a quick shower once done she will head to the cafeteria to meet Tara.

"I'd love to come over," he says. "But I wouldn't want any goat boy parts exploding all over me," he smirks knowingly. "Now, before you do explode, listen up. I want that girl back, and I have a some information to trade for her. Something involving certain blood samples, and a man named Afifi," he adds, that same cocky smirk on his face. "You get me my girl, I'll give you the information; simple as that," he says, setting your wing down in front of him. "I'm keeping the wing, though," he adds tauntingly.

"I dont know what would make you think I would even want your help much less need it. As far as I'm concerned, we'll be keeping the girl. If you want to make a deal concerning this guy with a poodle name or the blood samples, talk to Thunder. Want me to patch you through? Oh, and dont enjoy my wing too much. You wont have it for long."

Vince opens a line to Trailblazer. "I am ready to go whenever you are."

 

[Deva]

Dara says, Master Wen says to send Raisa there. Get going swamp girl, she giggles before adding seriously, He also wants to know what you are doing there when he told you to help at the hospital, X.

Xi smirks at the swamp comment but says nothing.

"Raisa do this, Raisa do that...." She mutters to herself and sets the tank down where Xi directed. She stretches out, the first real test of her strength in months, brushes off some of the now drying gunk off her and turns to Xi. She scowls at his smirk. "I'm heading back up to the Academy. If you need anything else moved, get a crane."

She'll jog back to the academy, ignoring anyone else on the way unless they're in serious trouble, and enter Jackal's dojo.

"Monica is not currently located in an area with one of my terminals, Sanjay," ARIS responds.

Luckily for you, it's not all that hard to find her. You head along the hall and see Straightjacket standing at a junction looking towards the pool. As you approach, you can hear Monica shouting at someone, and quickening your pace, look down the hall to where she and Cosmo are having a loud argument, at least on Monica's end.

You see her lunge at Cosmo, and he twists aside, holding a food laden tray dextrously in one hand, keeping it out of her reach, that ever present smirk on his face.

Randall
You make your way to Vince's room and can hear him talking to someone, probably ARIS, within. You set up your illusionary Split. He's perfect, right down to the cocky smirk. You start, hiding against the wall, blending perfectly into it, and knock on the door.

Vince
"Suit yourself, punk. Was nice knowing you. Say goodbye to your friends for me, and when they're all dying around you, you just remember you could have prevented it, but chose to be stupid. And I'll get my girl back soon, anyway," Split says calmly, and the screen goes blank.

Trailblazer responds once you call. "Sorry, no can do, partner. I'm headed to Russia on the double. You'll have to get yourself there, or check with Mendez or Rebound maybe."

Then, there's a knock at the door.

Johan
"Um..." Anna says, quickly trying to hide a pad in her lap. You glance down and get a glimpse of a recognizeable design you saw briefly at Lockheed. If memory serves you, and you know it likely does, that's a Lockheed developmental targetting scanner. Looking at her fully repaired armor, you see that the targetting system has a new scanner...

Michelle
You make it to the cafeteria and find it pretty much empty, other than Mendez, Tara, Titan and Hoppy. The three mutants and the huge bug are sitting chatting. There's a large buffet just being put out.

Raisa
"Once you finish calming Jackal down, hurry back. Cleaning up will have to wait until later," Xi says. "There's a lot of work left to do in town, and it's going to take more than today to finish it." Looking around, you realize he's right, and his tone didn't make it a request.

You manage to reach the academy and hear Jackal in the dojo, shouting "Is anyone here!?" Pulling the door open and walking in, he squints at you, and sniffs the air, wrinkling his nose up momentarily. "What is going on?" he finally asks. You note that his wrists are bloodied from pulling at his chains.

Heading off to the boys area, X12 enters Kevin's room.

"Get up, Kevin - you're coming with me," he says with a directive tone. "There's a mess in town and you're gonna help clean it up, just like the rest of us."

At first, Kevin doesn't react to X12"s voice.

You are a monster, Kevin... tell it X. You want to say it. Maybe not. Maybe you don't want to waste your effort on hitting me. Maybe you worth more than me... No, not maybe, you worth more than me.

"Yes" and he stands up. His voice, like his body, seems to lack the energy he always has shown. This energy that was telling how proud of himself he was, or as he would have said, the energy that said he is a York. Now, he seems like a boy without muscle to support the full weight of his body. He doesn't look at X eyes, as his head is still low.

Just do what they ask. Stop thinking, it is when you think you are a monster.

Straightjacket responds once you call. "Sorry, no can do, partner. I'm headed to Russia on the double. You'll have to get yourself there, or check with Mendez or Rebound maybe."

OOC:I take it you meant Trailblazer since that is who I called
"What the?? Thunder said you were available to get me to the hospital ASAP!! Bloody hell. Nevermind. I'll find another ride. Thanks anyways. Sorry to bug you." Vince shuts down the connection and heads to the door with his bag for the hospital.

Then, there's a knock at the door.

"Oh good maybe Thunder sent someone else." and opens the door.

 

[Dalamar]

Johan frowns at Anna. "You went and put it there without permission, didn't you?"

His duplicate keeps going to see Thunder.

"The people in town need as much assistance as they can get, preferably basic medicial attention," X12 says. "Li is down there, and they only have one nurse, and then they have myself, but I'm very weak from helping Nova. How much first aid do you know, Kevin, or can you learn things like that from other people?"
