"He's not a ... well, wow. He sure looks like one, but I assure you he's not a ... damn," he says, obviously surprised at Vince's appearance. "Sorry, Vincent. I don't usually get caught surprised by anyone's appearance, but that's a heck of a change from the last time I saw you. You better come into exam, and we'll get a proper look at you. Randall and John can come if you like, it's up to you." Sanjay, MichelleCosmo laughs. "Wow, you already sound like Thunder, babe," he says towards Michelle as she is storming out. "But you have a better ass!" Monica nearly chokes on her drink at Sanjay's suggestion. "Ok, didn't think you could surprise me, sport," she grins back, wiping her face with a napkin. "I'd be up for that. She's really good looking, don't you think," she says quietly with a smirk. "But you're the one who gets to convince her to swing by later," she laughs. "Something tells me that the uptight girl with a tendancy to blow up things won't be jumping at the offer," she adds, sounding somewhat disappointed. JohanAnna looks at her armor and then back to you. "Um... five minutes and maybe we go for pizza?" she says with a blush. "If we can find Jackson to drive us." Lancheng, ChinaRaisaYou reach down and start to pick up Dara, but when you touch her she grabs at your face. Her eyes now uncovered, you see them wide open, blood falling like tears, and her entire eyeballs are blood red. "Raisa," she whispers, shuddering. "Raisa, I can't... he's too strong... I just can't..." Suddenly, X12 says in panic through your re-established link, Raisa! Dara! Help! Someone has captured us and he knows about the link. There are six of them. They overwhelmed Kevin and I. We're above the shop on the west side of the town square. Two of them, they easily match you for strength, and they have a telepath too! Come quickly before they... The communication goes silent, leaving you with a strong thought in your mind. With everyone else out of commission, you need back-up, and Michael is the only one strong enough to help! OOC: Yes, this is an implanted thought, and exceedinly strong. You failed your save badly and won't get to re-roll as you trust Michael and this is a reasonable suggestion. No more blood is coming from Dara's eyes. In fact, she's looking around in confusion. "Wh-what happened? Where did all this blood come from?" X12, Kevin"Ah, you remember some of your programming," the man says thoughtfully. "Excellent. Then perhaps you will also remember that you have never been in a position of power in our discussions. Your request is denied, Directive 12. You see," he says ominously. "I have decided need of your friends. They will be here soon.  But first," he says, raising his hand.  With a lurch, you fly across the room and he grabs your face in his hands.  Unable to move, you feel him penetrate your mind and travel through the mental link you have with the others.  You can't make out the words, but moments later you feel a blast hit you and you fly back across the room, sliding to a stunned halt against the wall. Turning his attention to Kevin and leaving you in a heap, he says, "Mr. York. Did you know there is a duplicate of you running about? Why, just yesterday he was saying how he had drained all of the money from your bank accounts and maxxed out your credit cards. He even phoned his father for a further advance. A few million to tide him over I believe. He is quite adamant that you die by his hand as well. An unhealthy obsession if I ever heard of one. "It may interest you to know that I disagree with him. I feel your talents are largely wasted on this EPIC nonsense. Such foolish restrictions. It's more like army training than helpful learning, isn't it? Don't do this. Don't do that. I could offer you far more. And you would be reunited with your double. Think what the two of you could accomplish together. At least once I changed his mind about killing you off. What would you say to an offer to join me? Leave those EPIC fools and their nonsense behind."</blockquote>
