Rebound says, inflating and rapidly bounding down the hall towards an exit. "No kidding.  Quit wasting time, girlie," SJ's dad says as he runs after Rebound, the two leaving you standing with Pavo. "I took the liberty of having the tractor moved alread," Ms. Price says from nearby.  You see her standing in the entry to a side hallway, her data pad she always carries in hand.  "Mr. Santala.  We've been ordered back to Brazilia to report immediately.  This facility has been ordered locked down to prevent any possible viral escape from the contamination breeches." Pavo nods.  "Alright.  Have the driver accompany EPIC, and arrange for a hovership to accompany them to transport any wounded." "At once sir," she says.  "I'll meet you in the parkade in a few minutes," she says, returning down the hall. "It seems I must take my leave," Pavo says appologetically.  "Here is my phone number," he says, handing you his card.  "If you need anything else during your rescue attempts, contact me immediately." "Sir," the guard behind you says.  "Facility lockdown is commencing.  Apparently the contamination risk is extreme.  We need to get you and the EPIC members out at once.  Two of my men are escoring a 'Mantis' and 'Loki' to the exits now.  Ma'am," he says to Michelle, gesturing professionally down the hall to the exit.  "While it is imperitive for you to exit the facility, I am certain it is more imperitive for you to reach your team members swiftly." Obviously, the guard is doing his best to be both diplomatic and professional towards you, probably something not normally in his job description.  Someone must have made a good impression on him.  As you make your way quickly to the exit, you catch a glimpse of him waving his companion guards off escorting you from the facility, obviously trusting you to find your way on your own. As you do exit, you see a jet readying to take off, a hovership landing, a tractor hovering towards the van, Rebound is bounding over to the Van, Sj's dad running behind, while Mantis and Loki are with Johan, Loki talking to Johan frantically.  Loki spots you suddenly and looks like he starts to charge at you waving his arms before Mantis clamps a hand onto his shoulder and jerks him back. Johan, LokiYou receive no further communications from Loco and let Michelle know that.  His communicator is on, but he's not answering.  Fortunately, it still should help you locate him fairly accurately, at least when you get closer.  Glancing up, you see Mantis and Loki lead somewhat roughly from the facility.  Mantis looks furious; Loki just starts running over to you. Nearby, the jet taking SJ and Anna to hospital starts closing its ramp, preparing for takeoff.  It is held up for a few moments as a chauferred car flies overhead, speeding towards Brazilia and a hovership flies from a bay to land nearby.  From beneath that bay, a massive tractor hovers out, propelled by what appears to be magnetic devices beneath it, and rumbles towards you. Loki reaches you and looks in some distress, both emotionally and physically.  He's sweating profusely, his eyes appear quite wild and he starts talking at a rapid pace, though thankfully you can think fast enough to keep up... barely. "I overheard Ms. Price on the vidscreen with some guy from SAP named Telda and I think he's going to do something to Pavo and well actually Ms. Vaile is and I don't think he knows and they moved Sanjay to some facility so he could make a full recovery but they didn't say he they said we and then this guard grabbed me and I was like woah dude back off and he's like you have to leave the facility and I'm like let go of my arm you jerk but he ignored me and then they grabbed Mantis I mean she was just getting a soda and drug her outside too and I think Sanjay's in big trouble but I might have heard wrong you don't have anything to eat on you do you I'm starved and we should probably warn Pavo but I think he was in the limo that went overhead so fast hey where's Michelle?" he says in one very rapid and unbroken sentence without even taking a single breath.  "Oh there she is I better tell her all this hey Michelle you gotta owwwww leggo!" Mantis clamps a hand down on Loki's shoulder tightly, not letting him rush off.  "What.  The.  Heck.  Did you get any of that, or should we rewind that and try again ion a slower setting?" she asks Johan, taking a sip of her soda held in her other hand as she effectively controls Loki with the other. OOC:  Loki, if you're reading this, you are on the biggest sugar rush of an entire lifetime, and still have the super-intelligence from your P12.  Johan earns points for reading that sentence from hell <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> "Hey, not bad, but you might want to move your grip a bit left or you'll cause him brain damage," SJ's dad says as he comes up.  Rebound overshoots the van and walks around from the other side. "Hey, what'd I miss?  Why's Loki sweating like me after gym class?" StraightjacketThe ramp you were brought up starts to close as you hear that Monica is dead, a victim of Ghost, and that Vince is trapped and Loco badly wounded. "We'll be taking off in just a moment," the co-pilot tells you as he checks to make sure you are secure.</blockquote>
