Generation Legacy Issue #15

Anika watches Mark leave. She wanted to say something but bit her tongue, letting him leave. "Great, so much for that," she says. "Mark obviously doesn't really agree with this and like Gilden says, there will be others that won't even pay it lip service. Ryan and Tina, in particular. I can almost guarantee that those two at least will leave the team to do their own thing."

Karen

Karen enters the common area and sees several young people sitting about, most likely discussing the events of the day. She spots Ryan though with Tina, and two young women she has not or at least does not recognize from the Institute. Given the small student populace, that in and of itself makes the encounter a little peculiar.

Oh great... Karen thinks when she spots Ryan and Tina, those two weren't really the people she wanted to be around right now, but she was a bit curious about the two strangers, she didn't think she met them before, "Uhm hey Ryan, Tina ... Have you seen Anika around?"
 

"You know," Ryan says off-handedly to Tina, "I'm beginning to think I'm not the popular one." Christ, do I have a sign or something that says I know where she is? I wonder why she wants to find Anika anyways.

"I suppose you could ask Sariyah, but it would kind of be a waste of her talents. Sorry, but I don't know. I was just about to go looking for her myself." Ryan pauses, biting his lip. "Karen...are you okay?" If it happened to Cleveland, I know I wouldn't be. I would be in a murderous rage or something. Losing pretty much everyone you know like that...
 

"I'm fine...I think... M-maybe not ... I haven't heard anything from my family yet. They're not on any of the lists... No news is good news right?" Karen replies with a sad but hopeful look. Jun-Min had said Sariyah could find anyone, maybe she'd be able to find her family, "Sariyah? You can find anyone right? Could you do me a favor? Cou- could you try to find my family? They... they should be in Chicago," she asks uncertainly, Do I really want to know?

“I agree, perhaps with careful positioning of the situation we could reach them, but I doubt it is worth trying to salvage. Our only concern is to keep Ryan accessible as a consultant when it comes to Overseer,” she says pausing to think on her words.

“We still consider him to be a credible threat but we also have to focus on events more close to home, but take some time to think on it. Give Mark some time to think about it,” she stands adding a professional smile, “Once things have cooled down in Cairo, and expect to be headed that way.”

She turns to Gilden, “I can’t wait to see your progress on the spell; it could become critical to our developing strategy. Good luck.”

She leaves.

SARAH speaks aloud, “Anika, both Karen and Ryan are looking for you, they are currently in the common hall in the mess area. Might I add that I do not think you are a stick-girl.”

Mark

After a single ring Star answers her line, “Mark? How are you, you had to leave pretty quickly is the team mobilizing?”

Clover, Karen, and Ryan

Tina hakes her head, “SARAH where is Anika?”

SARAH replies, “Anika is in a meeting, or she was it seems to have concluded, shall I message her?”

“Yeah tell her Karen is looking for her, and Ryan as well, hell just tell her to come see us at her earliest convenience,” Tina responds.

SARAH complies, “Of course.”

“There stick-girl should be on her way,” Tina says to the gathered group.

Sariyah turns to Clover, “I would need a better map, I suppose but I could but my power… ability does not work that way. I can just see the person everything else is sort of hazy, but I know exactly where they are in relation to myself… if that makes sense.”

After Karen voices her concern, “Yes of course I could! I am so sorry, let me find them… I can try… I want to help!”

Cassie

“Even if that is the case we can’t count on that unless you have encountered Overseer before. I would be hard pressed to believe that you would survive such an encounter unless he chose to allow you to live, in which case he does not see you as a threat to begin with,” Cardinal replies.
 

"Thanks SARAH," Anika says, adding with a smile, "S'okay, the stick-girl thing doesn't bug me much anymore, but I appreciate the observation."

"Let me know when you're ready to get started with the spell, that's our top priority right now. I'm interested in how this thing will work," she tells Gilden. "I better go find out why I'm so popular."
She then makes her way back to the common area and finds her teamamtes. "Hey, what's up?"
 

Karen rolls her pupilless eyes at Tina's need to insult Anika, she ignores her for the most part and focuses her full attention on Sariyah, "You...you really can? What do I need to do?"

"True enough." Cassie admits, "But it wasn't my power I was discussing. If I can borrow an analogy, you and Ryan work on the same frequency but out of synch with each other." She draws two sine waves out, each alternating with the other. "So you and he are cancelling out each other, at least partially. The converse of figuring how to interfer with Overseer would be to see if you two could be in synch. Two of you working together might be stronger than Overseer if that is the case." She sighs and shurgs. "A shame that this idea only came up now, too late most likely."

She looks at her meal for a long while as she thinks. "Do you belive that I am the reincarnation of Hope?" she asks after a while.

"The idea has merit," she admits.

Karen

“I can, I can do it, I just have to pull the memories from your mind; I guess it isn’t a pleasant experience but I can do that. I can find them, I know I can,” Ryan can see that Sariyah seems more eager to use her abilities, armed with the knowledge that they do work.

Tina adds, “She found James.”

Oops I forgot this in my last post for Clover, but that region is unstable politically. Iraq is a democratic state on paper but is controlled by varying Islamic fundamentalist groups vying for power. Iran is a divided extremist state with very anti-elite views on one side and a pro-elite religious movement on the other, and both nations are in constant conflict. That coupled with the once American-led peace keeping forces, now replaced by UN forces leads to daily violence and conflict. In short the region is a powder-keg, perhaps even more so after the attacks.

"As am I," Gilden replied, more worried then he let on. Spells of this magnitude were difficult at the best of times and performed only by the top achmagi, something he was definately not. Especially considering that he was going to be fundamentally changing time and space, so much could go wrong. There was a good chance that he could make things worse then they are now. Part of him wondered if he had done the right thing in telling them about it.

As Anika walked away he was going to warn her not to mention this meeting to anyone but he figured she already knew that, it would get out sooner or later though. The fall out from both decisions weren't going to be pretty.

"Sarah, were is Gadget?" He asked as he took a round about way to the cafeteria, he didn't want to become involved with what ever they wanted Anika for, he gathered up some food, enough for two people, and headed to where ever the pink haired girl was. If she wasn't going to stop to get food then the food will just have to come to her and for the first time in a while he smiled.
