Generation Legacy Issue #15

“Well if you go with them, you may lose your position here as the Arcane Specialist for the UNJE,” Gadget adds, “but if you don’t go with them, James could die… so yeah tough choices there.”

"Sorry Gadget, but it looks like I will have to cut our meal short." He says to her giving her a smile before turning to Mark. "Lets get going, you can fill me in on the way."

Once they reach Anika's portal as Aya is walking through. He address both Mark and Anika.

ooc: this is assuming that Mark lets him in on all the details -If not I will edit this post.

"Have you two lost your senses? This is foolhardy. We have no intelligence on the enemy, we don't have an exact location on where James is located and plus you want to bring along people that are not even trained and have no combat experience at all." He says pointing to Sariyah, Sami and Clover. "Are their lives less important then James? Paragon might be cold but I can not believe that he would kill someone just because they may become dangerous in the future. And if we were to get James out without most of us getting killed or injured what then? Where do we go? Who do we get to help James? None of us are even remotely qualified to do that."

Cassie

“Well if he is alive and not dead, then maybe the weapon isn’t harmful to James? I am not a scientist though so I have no idea…” Chance responds.

James’ pulse seems normal, his mouth slowly moves, “Ki-Ki-Kiyana?”

Cassie smiles as he speaks and she takes his hand and pats it reassuringly. "No James it's me, Cassie. How do you feel?" She asks calmly. "I know you're sick but we need to move you as soon as you're strong enough." Her eyes glance back at her 'companions'. "I very much think it would be better if we left." She leans in to whisper in his ear. "If you can make a portal it would be even better. We're not among friends."

I worry about this now. Cardinal is a brilliant woman, a psycho path but very brilliant. What if she's using him as a weapon against normal people? Racial Genocide isn't anything I want to be part of. You know the world we are in now is infinitely better than the one we came from Chance. Got any ideas where we can take him? I very much doubt that the institue would be prudent at this point. At least for me.

Anika looks more disappointed than angry at Gilden's outburst. "I have thought things through, considering the time table. I'm not forcing anyone to come with. Sariyah doesn't want to come, that's completely understandable. Clover and and Sami do, so they can. I've already spelled everything out for everyone. The option is there for you, too, of course. I can think of a couple reasons why you'd not want to do this, but we could use your help."

She says no more, waiting foe everyone that wants to go to do so, before following, herself.

Other side of the Portal

The mountainside is rugged, dirt, rocks, and scrub brush is all that awaits the teens. The night air is cool and a howling wind blows, but the ground is still warm from the baking sun earlier in the day. There is a silence in the air, only punctuated by the winds and the sound of dirt and rocks beneath one’s feet.

Signs of civilization are not readily apparent.

Karen takes in the area, marvelling at the landscape. She was glad that for once there was no landscape of destruction, no hypermodern underwater city greeting her, just nature. She was also glad to be out of that bunker. The feeling didn't last long though, her mind quickly jumped back to the task at hand, rescuing James. By stepping through the portal she'd probably declared herself persona non grata to the UN. She'd been thinking of breaking with them for a while but never found a really good reason to do so. She'd even thought about reapplying to Legacy until she tried to eavesdrop into that meeting. Now she was here, in the middle of nowhere with the one person in the world she'd never get along with. As she scanned the area around the portal she hoped the others'd follow soon.

Gilden took a few deep breaths before continuing on, getting angry wasn't going to be helping his situation, although considering Anika's stubborness he didn't know if logical thought would either.

"I can think of multiple reasons why I and the rest of us shouldn't be doing this. If the UNJE is going to try and kill James then we should let people know, Jun Min for one, news services for another. Gadget could help us spread the word. They wouldn't dare do anything once the word was out. This is the same reckless behavior that we used to chastise Kelly about, do you want her fate to happen to Sami?"

 

[Agamon]

Now Anika was angry. She very nearly slaps Gilden at the last statement. "First of all, we have one person's word that Paragon is going to do this. So, no, were not going to broadcast it and spread further panic. That is, if anyone actually believed us. That doesn't change the fact that we need to get James back in case it is true and because Pantheon has him and wants to use him to kill every baseline on the planet.

"Second, we are wasting time with this pointless arguing. Now go or stay, but I'm done discussing it and I'm stepping through this thing and closing it behind me in 10 seconds," she growls.

 

[Samnell]

Now Anika was angry. She very nearly slaps Gilden at the last statement. "First of all, we have one person's word that Paragon is going to do this. So, no, were not going to broadcast it and spread further panic. That is, if anyone actually believed us. That doesn't change the fact that we need to get James back in case it is true and because Pantheon has him and wants to use him to kill every baseline on the planet.

Mark shrugged, "I've screwed up my life for a lot worse reasons."

 

[Mimic]

Gilden slowly shakes his head. "Two wrongs do not make a right. This is not the way to do this. I wish you luck but I am not going." He says sadly.

 

[Agamon]

"Sitting here and letting him die is right? Sorry, I don't see it that way," Anika tells Gilden impatiently, disappointment tinging her voice. "Good luck with the spell. I wish I could have helped you with it."

She looks at Mark, "After you."

 

[Shalimar]

"Your fine to stay here Sariyah, I've copied your powers so I can go in your place. I may not be able to stop them but I can save you from being kidnapped." Clover tells the girl putting a reassuring hand on the other girls shoulder before she steps through the portal. The military brat trusted SARAH's keen ears to have recorded the conversation, her objections to the plan, and ultimately that she had been coerced into going to protect Sariyah.

Coming out on the other side the British girl was running forward to clear sace behind hr for anyone else coming. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her jumpsuit and pulls out a pair of reinforced gloves and puts them on, working her fingertips until the fit was perfect.

Before closing her eyes to concentrate on locating James, Clover looked around at the area around the portal not wanting to be caught unawares by anything. Once she was satisfied she closed her eyes and pictured James from the files on JE Legacy she had read over before coming to the institute, she always did her homework on people that she might want to get to know.
