Generation Legacy Issue #7 "Innocence Lost" - Part 1

[Samnell]

Fifteen minutes. Stupid idea. Mark spend two of it getting to his new room, but once inside realized he had no intention of going to Bangkok in his school uniform. Not after McCallister went and specifically said they had uniforms on the aerodyne. He hurriedly walked down to the garage and fished his out of the locker with his name on it.

Holding up the seemingly too small bodysuit, Mark smiled to himself. Could probably get this on in about a twentieth of a second. He experimentally stretched the fabric. Well it wouldn't tear. Mark tossed the uniform into the air and his hands blurred as he reached for his collar, but stopped abruptly and reversed course and caught the uniform with his left hand before it could fall more than a quarter- a centimeter. Using metric now. Remembering the sight of a neat row of buttons embedded into his wall Mark took the uniform back to his new room to change.

With five minutes down, Mark peeled off his clothes and donned his Legacy uniform. He looked at his swimsuit, sitting where he'd laid it out on his bed for the swim he desperately needed maybe an hour ago. Mark didn't know when he stopped needing a swim, but he felt no urge to go anymore. Donning his shades, he looked himself over in the mirror. Looking good. In charge, even.

Mark turned to leave for the aerodyne again and just made it out his door when he realized he might be in Bangkok for more than just a day. I could just wear the uniform- Bad idea. Mark sighed and went back into his room to hurriedly pack.

Swimsuit. Swimsuit. Black and red jersey. White and blue jersey. Running shorts. Mark looked up and realized except for school uniforms he didn't have anything besides his dance clothes and stuff for sports except for the rather grimey and torn pants and too-small t-shirt he'd come to the school in. Sighing again, he threw in two days of school uniforms and tossed his tank top on top. Ok. Set.

Mark took up his bag, threw in a toothbrush, and made for the aerodyne with four minutes to go and feeling very satisfied with his ability to pack most of the contents of his bag in the time between throwing his bag at the ceiling and it hitting the floor. Smiling, he took his time walking to the aerodyne and found most of the others already in place.

Anika's face starts turning red, whether from embarrassment or anger is not quite clear. "Hey, you guys want to talk about your conquests, can you save it for the locker room? Thanks." she says, punctuating the last word.

"What conquests?" Mark asked, smiling, as he walked into the conversation.

"Yoshi, glad you made it," he clapped his friend on the shoulder.

Cassie finishes up her post work out shower and as she towels her hair off she sits down at her terminal and opens it up. thinking to what she heard at the mall in the ad,she types in a query about that.

Another window is opened to check out some of the civil liberties message boards she has gotten around to reading on the process of the registration act and another for her email program


(OOC: Sorry.. somehow I missed the new ep starting.. I'm about 3 pages behind but figured I had better post something before I got retired.. I'm heading out to Greece soon so my posting will be slow (every day or so... once maybe twice a day till I get settled. Gonem!))

Good although... well ahem... hmm I had started to take liberties... Cassie is no longer the virgin she used to be...

 

[Hammerhead]

I figured Yoshi was taking advantage of Cassie; now I've just confirmed it. He disgusts me sometimes...actually, he pretty much disgusts me all of the time. I hope he's simply lying, and not taking advantage of her.

Ryan turns to Star, trying to subtly inform Anika his previous crass comment was an attempt to provoke Yoshi. "Alternatively, Star, another appropriate response would be to hit Yoshi, assuming Cassie or Anika is a friend. Unfortunately, Yoshi and I are teammates, and while I don't have to like him, I do have to work with him and trust him to cover my back. But I'm sure we'd all appreciate it if Yoshi restrains himself from further comments." But if you would be a dear, Star, and hit him for me I'd be really appreciative.

Ryan glances up at Mark as he enters. "Nothing, Mark. Yoshi was just crossing the line, something I'm sure he won't do again. You going to brief us Mark, or just stand there pretending to pose for GQ?" Ryan jokes, trying to restore some semblance of good humor to the Aerodyne.

Kelly

Kelly comes to, lying on a bed in a white bright room. She sits up and finds stitches in her arm, but they look clean very precise. She gets a look around and sees a single door, and a dresser next to her. The place has a very clean feeling to it, and before she gets a chance to get a better look around the door slides back, and standing there is Mr. Smith, impeccable dressed.

“Evening madam, I apologize, but Mr. McKain requested that we relocate to a more secure location. I should inform you, that he is terribly sorry that you were injured on his behalf. His suite was destroyed in a blast, and for the moment, he requests that his location be kept secret. Your injuries were treated, and if you are feeling well enough, then I can show you to Mr. McKain, madam,” he bows his head, very stiff, and formal.

The Aerodyne

Yoshi sighs, glancing to Anika, “Man you always have to be a kill joy, huh? What if I like really like Cassie and stuff, you know? Sure I like her because she fills out a dress like nobodies business, but if I am wrong for liking hot chicks, then sue me.”

He turns to Mark, “Dude I wouldn’t miss a Mark party for the world, man. We are like speed brothers, or something. Now Mark, am I right, or am I wrong for liking Cassie because she is hot? I mean she has some other qualities too. Like uh, she is political or something. See I pay attention, I know that much about her brain. Call me boyfriend of the year.”

Kiyana smiles, “No, James wins boyfriend of the year, yes?” she says with a giddy smile, modeling her bodysuit, “This is so nice!”

Yoshi whistles, “Nice Kiyana, you really got a swimmer’s body…”

Star smiles to Anika, “Thank you for clarifying, most likely then Yoshi’s spending is just overcompensating for his more obvious shortcomings…” she says aloud.

Advertisement

The advertisement is for genetic treatment by a company by the name of Magog Industries, a subsidiary company of Vanguard Secure Computing, VSC for short, displaying some new genetic prenatal care, that can eliminate birth defects and disorders before they begin. The emblem for the company is the same as the one in the vision. The tag line reads, “Building a better future, one genome at a time.”

The advertisement itself acts as a link to the Magog Ind. Site, and channel. As it standard practice on the virtua web.

Once Cassie gets to the site a guide pops up on the left-hand side of the screen, a female in a white dress, she smiles and bows. Her features are strikingly familiar its like looking into a mirror almost. The virtua web guide speaks, “Hello, my name is Pandora, welcome to Magog Industries, how may I assist you today?”

Ryan glances up at Mark as he enters. "Nothing, Mark. Yoshi was just crossing the line, something I'm sure he won't do again. You going to brief us Mark, or just stand there pretending to pose for GQ?" Ryan jokes, trying to restore some semblance of good humor to the Aerodyne.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa... crossing the line? Hey just cause I am not some glowing fag like you does not mean you can just talk some crap Ryan. Your right we do have to work together, but I definitely don't trust you guarding my back..." Yoshi replies, folding his arms, visibly pissed.

Great. Ryan's pissed again. "Yeah, I'll-" Mark stops when Yoshi cuts him off.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa... crossing the line? Hey just cause I am not some glowing fag like you does not mean you can just talk some crap Ryan. Your right we do have to work together, but I definitely don't trust you guarding my back..." Yoshi replies, folding his arms, visibly pissed.

"Alright. I don't know what happened and I don't care," Mark says bluntly. "We've got a job here. Honor's got a partner named Strength and we're going out to have a talk with him. If he's anything like Honor, we need all the firepower we can get. I know. I was there," Mark pauses. "But I'm not taking anyone to Bangkok that I can't depend on to watch whoever's back needs watching." Mark looks around the aerodyne, making eye contact with everyone. "So if anyone needs to get off this thing, get going."

Mark lapses into silence, waiting.

Yoshi nods, "Read you loud and clear and Mark, I am here to help."

Kelly shifts around in her sleep, her movement pulling at her injured muscles and the stiches, raising a whimper of pain from her throat, and the fluttering of her eyelashes as she returns to consciousness. She slides the covers off of her with her left arm, doing her best not to move the right because of the pain. Once her chest was free of the covers she used her hand to trace over all of her stitches gently, feeling quite sore while she moved about, as torn and newly repaired muscles were pulled at.

She looks around the room trying to figure out where she was, not reassured by the unfamiliar surroundings. She gives a weak smile to Mr. Smith when he enters the room, while she didn't really know the man, his impeccable manners and dress went a good ways to reassuring her that everything was going to be all right.

"Wha... What happened, I remember Phase shooting me, but... where... What? What blast? Is Tommy ok? Yea, take me to him." she says, sounding a little disjointed and disoriented. She slides gingerly out of the bed and raises, wincing as she shifts her body about. She takes a few test steps, and she cradles her arm hissing in pain, taking care not to swing her arm about she takes a few more steps and gives a small nod to show Smith that she was ready to be taken to Tommy. She gives a small sigh at the sight of her dress coated in blood, but she follows Smith without another word, seemingly lost in thought.

Yoshi nods, "Read you loud and clear and Mark, I am here to help."

"Ok. Then you all know what we're here for. This is about getting at Honor through Strength. They're both working with the triads, so we might end up finding some other elites too. But we're here to get to Strength, not for every mercenary in Thailand. I'd rather not get in a fight with Strength, but I don't think he's just going to give his buddy up to us either. Any questions?"
