You continue to watch minor events unfold. The nurse comes over and informs Anna that it's time for her next injection and proceeds to pull a curtain around the medical table, ushering Johan to the other side of the curtain. Your view remains uninhibited however. The nurse helps Anna lay on her stomach and opens the back of her gown. Her head provides a remarkably fortunate cover as the doctor comes in.
"Alright, this will hurt quite a bit again," he says in warning and then proceeds to jab a long and painful looking needle into her spine in three locations. You do notice that her 'ports' that her armor plugged into have been removed. The nurse closes up the gown again, and Anna has barely made a peep, but that changes in a few moments when whatever the nanobots are doing start causing her intense pain. She screams out, drawing the attention of the four Johans near the door, plus the one inside. He rushes back inside the curtain, ignoring the nurse and doctor's protests.
"Anna! Are you ok?"

Ms. Vaile laughs and smiles at you. "My, you are tired," she says. "Never mind for now, though I'm sure Vida will try to explain it to you later," she adds as if it is some joke. But before you know it, you find a room assigned to you and are already dozing off. The lights go out, and so do yours and you find yourself dreaming of cat-girls, business executives and wierd scaled women.
Eventually, however, your dreams turn to home, your mother and father. And the town well. And a blackness lurking there...

"You've barely been away," your father says. "And it's the middle of semester for you. Granted it's been a busy time for you, what with your galavanting about the globe, but I hightly doubt your mother would approve... or be able to handle your changes so well. And home is likely camped out by reporters thanks to this takeover by SAP."
"What takeover is that?" comes a familiar voice questioningly. Ms. Vaile casually leans against the doorjam. "How is your head feeling, Vincent?" she asks. "I must say I think the lack of bells is a definite improvement. That young Randall certainly is a troublemaker."
Your father looks rather angry at her sudden appearance, but stays silent, probably not trusting himself to not say something inappropriate.

"I was proud of you before," your father says plainly. "I had hoped Kevin could learn to be more like you from his time with EPIC," he says with a sigh. "I will transfer some maintenance information to datapads for Sanchez. Maybe you should ingratiate yourself to the EPIC members here and see if there is anything you can do to help their situation," he suggests.
As you exit the plane, you can see through the glass front of the hospital that Kodiak is giant sized and in bear form. You see him swing at something and a moment later Titan crashes through the glassteel wall and skids to a halt on the steps before taking flight and flying back in towards Kodiak.

"Or I could just take over," says Empath, her voice a dark whisper. Black eyes focus on Titan briefly, who screams, releasing her and clutching his temples. Kodiak release you and lunges forward, but past that, you really don't see much from the hospital.
You reel from the mental blast, but manage again to pick yourself up. Your thoughts are scattered, but you manage to dive behind cover, out of sight of the telepath and the directive he is now controlling. Directive 11, at first your partner, now has become your enemy in the excersise.
"Most telepaths will experience backlash if the mind they are tied to suffers damage," your father says through the soundsystem calmly. Directive 11 jumps over the barricade you are behind, landing with his back to you, having been directed to the wrong section. You leap up behind him and deliver a dangerous chokehold, cutting off the air supply and bloodflow to the brain. In a matter of seconds, he goes limp, his eyes going dull. Across the room, the telepath is too slow in disconnecting from his mind and follows suit.
You start to release your hold, but your father says over the intercom, "If you release him, the telepath may recover and continue his assault. Surely you could just revive him later. If your power works of course," he says with a dark chuckle. "The telepath has been hired to kill the both of you. You will receive no further aid from me."
The comm goes dead, leaving you with a choice.
But you can't remember what you chose, as your mind snaps back to current. Titan delivers double fisted clubbing blow to the top of the now massive Kodiak's bear-head. Kodiak backhands Titan in response, sending the spanish hero flying through the wall of the hospital to skid to a halt on the steps. Empath focuses on Titan, and he streaks back in towards the battle even as she lets a blast of mental energy loose at Kodiak, who staggers back from the blow.
Raisa, Dara and Michael come running towards the battle. Somehow, you've managed to avoid getting trampled. You see Jeremy York rushing up the steps towards the main doors. You can't help but recall on your recent history when Titan was nearly killed when shot by a ray of liquid silver. While EPIC itself avoids the use of silver, and it is not commonplace, several simple hospital implements are made from silver in this day and age, or at least an alloy with silver in it; scalpels, clamps and some laser focussing equipment. And emergency is right over there!

"Of course she isn't. Her muscles and, especially, nerves are being forced to recover from something they couldn't on their own," Johan mutters to himself and sighs.
Not too much I can do here. I think I will go see if I can help Sanchez and the doctor with figuring out what exactly the electromagnetic field is and does. I'll talk things over with Anna when she has finished recovering.

Sanjay wakens with a start, his short sleep interrupted by the horrible image. He spends a few moments to calm down and thinks, shaking his head, "No, don't be stupid, that won't happen. It's gone now, it's all gone, I got rid of it myself. The stuff in the cannisters, the stuff from in me, Vida took the antidote, there's none left...right?" The doubt nags at his mind, and the adrenaline rush leaves him unable to go back to sleep.
"Ms. Vaile, she might know...maybe I should tell the cops, they have the guy that would know for sure..." he thinks as he gets out of the bed and heads back into the hallway looking for Vaile or someone from ISA.

"Anna is going to be able to walk again? Wow, thats some good news at least and her technical skills should more then compensate for the loss of her armor." She says with a smile, happy for her.
"Wait," she says with a small frown, "you said the rest of you will be able to leave tomorrow. Why does that sound like I'm not going with them?"

"I've been kidnapped and held under guard for nearly two days, and there was the little matter of the assassination attempt. And of course the board basically taking over just after you all went to the research facility. I have next to no idea what business SAP has conducted over the last few days," Ms. Vaile says, with a barely detectable hint of irritation. "Not that acquiring Pratchett Pharmaceuticals would be a bad thing. My personal stock options in that company should become quite valuable I would think."
Your father is obviously getting angry. "I gave you those options with the agreement you would not allow SAP to attempt to buy out my company!" he shouts at her.
"I believe I mentioned the kidnapping and assassination attempt?"
Your father fumes, getting very red in the face. "Great excuse! But bad news for you! SAP holds 51% of the shares in my company. Your options are worthless!"
Ms. Vaile shrugs. "If I excersise them, that would represent a 3% holding in your company if memory serves me, by increasing the number of shares outstanding. So you would hold 47.5%, SAP would hold 49.5% and I would hold a very valuable 3% of the outstanding shares."
Your father looks about ready to throttle the woman, and is barely containing himself.

"Oh, you'll be going with them. I'm the one who will be staying here. If I want to keep all important apendages that is. Monica's mother would be more dangerous than all of Anarchy if I didn't prioritize properly just once," Thunder says. "I think I'll put off calling her until I know Monica's condition though."
Neutron
You get up and find it has been much, much longer than you thought. It's pitch black outside, and the clock on the wall reads 2:00AM. You walk out into the hall and find it mostly deserted. Looking down towards recovery, however, you see Thunder talking to his brother, the good doctor, and Titan. You also hear a very angry, low growl that is rather familiar. Thunder immediately leaves his brother and Titan and walks into recovery.
"Can it, kiddo!" you hear him shout.
"Bite me, old man!" comes Monica's angry voice. "Let. Me. OUT!"
Johan
Two of the doubles follow you, and pretty much annoy the crap out of you as you walk.
"Gonna have to find a new girl now," laughs one.
"Yup, that one's all ours," agrees the other.

Your search is short. An entire tray covered in silver and silver alloy medical equipment -- scalpels, clamps, etc -- sit on one of the first emergency room walls. You retrieve a couple of goodies as nurses and doctors work to cover patients they are working on from falling ceiling tiles caused by the ruckus outside. You rush back out just as Titan intercepts Kodiak's swing at Empath, using his massive strength to toss the huge bear-man into the far wall, collapsing the area onto the coffee shop.
You see Michael is lining himself up for a pounce at Empath, and Raisa is charging her from behind. Dara lays sprawled unconscious on the floor. Jeremy York rushes up the steps, a gun of some sort in hand.
Initiatives: Prophet/Empath -- 40, Titan 24 (1S), Michael 22, Raisa 14, JAY 13, X12 12, Kodiak 8 (4L, stunned, 2HP), Dara 6 (1L, KO)
OOC: Jay has all his gear on his character sheet. X12 has two implements of silver. All opponents are on the ground, or within reach of those on the ground. And I almost forgot, Jay and X12 are up, in no particular order

What is happening. EPIC against EPIC in an hospital? That must finish before a civilian get hurt. Everyone seems to go against that girl...
Jay quickly push the button of his belt, activating it(Free). For a moment, he doubt it work, as it he sees nothing happening, but decide to trust his father on that one. He puts his gun on medium (fatigue), take aim and shot 4 times at Empath (Rapid Shot And Autofire, taking a -8 on every shot...)
Whoa, that is rapid fire...
OOC: Use HP on any save under 10. I don't use a HP on attack roll if I attack more than once in a round.
