Kodiak and myself," Empath says.  "I was nearly knocked out.  Kodiak was.  Fortunately, he fell on Dara and knocked her unconscious as well.  A state I think she should stay in for a while," she adds, kneeling down and touching Dara's forehead briefly.  "As for why, I think it is a combination of things. "By linking your minds, she has started to feed off of your emotions; sharing them really.  Her emotions are now exagerated.  When she gets angry, it's amplified.  When she's upset, it's twice as bad for her.  And with everything that's happened, and with your own emotions running high, she's getting overwhelmed.  Her mind simply can't handle the strain.  And now she's used mind control and actual telepathy, glimpsed into a dark mind and I believe it has further caused her to harm," Empath explains. "It is nothing you have caused, though, Raisa," she assures Raisa.  "But I think it is time that we sever this link the two of you share." In the Virtual WorldJohanThe ogre's heads look at each other briefly, then turn back to glare at you.  He lets out a massive bellow then charges right at you!  He lowers his shoulder in an attempt to ram you, but you manage to dive out of the way, none to gracefully though.  You land on your chest and skid along the floor, rather than rolling as you planned as the lumbering charge shakes the floor. Ogre Hit Roll:  Natural 1! The ogre is far less graceful however, as he gives a "Huh?" as you suddenly disappear from infront of him.  One head turns to look left, the other right, and the body goes straight with glass shattering force right into the center pane.  Instead of simply cracking like the other pane, the glass explodes outward, away from the room into a black void.  A fierce wind starts sucking everything in the room into the now broken pane, where a black whirlpool now sits. You scramble for a handhold to stop your inexorable slide twoards the whirlpool.  The ogre still clings to the edge of the pane, but soon is sucked in, vanishing into the whirlpool with a slight pop.  The cracked pane gives way, forming another whirlpool and yet more suction into the void.  Your slide towards the holes in the wall speeds until you are clinging to the edge of the window desperately.  You hands give way and you hear a pop, then a rush of blackness and then... Driving towards BrasiliaBefore you can even answer Johan's double, there is a rush of wind in the van that ends in a loud pop.  Before your eyes, the original Johan vanishes, leaving behind a network of wires and parts that made up his datalink. "Oh my..." says the double, moments before he slumps forward unconscious.  He doesn't vanish. Your headsets crackle alive right then, and Cosmo comes across the communication channel.  Obviously, he's in range, or Johan has succeeded. "Metal Mistress, come in!" he says into the microphone.  "I just saw Sanjay flying towards SAP on the news, and then the entire broadcast satellite system went down.  If you can hear me, SJ, the glowing wonder and myself are heading there shortly!" Brasilia Medical"We have your bags stored in your recovery room closet," the doctor says, pointing across the hall.  "Though I really suggest that you spend at least a day recovering from your injuries." "I'm coming with you," Ina says, already assuming you aren't about to listen to the doctor with such interesting events happening involving SAP.  "I can drive us there," she adds with a hopeful look. "I'm ready when you are boy," SJ's dad says to him from the hall. Cosmo spots the older man and abandons yelling at the unresponsive Vincent to rush over to him and snatch his communicator. "Metal Mistress, come in!" he says into the microphone.  "I just saw Sanjay flying towards SAP on the news, and then the entire broadcast satellite system went down.  If you can hear me, SJ, the glowing wonder and myself are heading there shortly!" SAP HeadquartersSanjay"Security Protocol Vaile 3.  Deliver packages to Sanjay Mohan; Neutron of EPIC.  Protect Sanjay Mohan, Neutron of EPIC from hostile forces.  Follow orders of Sanjay Mohan; Neutron of EPIC, unless such orders violate previous orders," the robot intones. "This unit is not equipped with advanced communication systems.  There is a private communication channel located on the inside wall of the vault, in case of emergency," it adds to your query. Outside the room, you see the assitant injecting Vida with the anti-serum, though it doesn't have an immediate, obvious affect. Johan... with a second pop you find yourself laying in the center of a computer filled room.  The logo on the wall reads SAP, and the view out the window leads you to believe you are inside the SAP Headquarters.  Three employees, the same three you had seen in the glass panes, stand against the windows of the room, wide eyed and slack jawed as you pick yourself up off the floor.  A fourth employee, a supervisor, is standing in front of his office with a similar expression, but he seems to have his wits about him and is glancing towards the door of the office about fifteen feet from him and you. Bet you didn't see that coming <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=":)" /></blockquote>
