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

[Shalimar]

Kelly gives a sigh of contentment as Tommy leads her over to the couch and seatsher on the soft. As Tommy paces while he speaks, Kelly can't help but think of everything he had done for her already, all he had told her he was going to do for her.

He really does care for me, I hope he likes me as much as II really like him, I mean he has just been soo wonderful to me, he must like me, I...I wonder if he's as nervous about me as I am about him, I mean neither of us are super experienced, well, at least I'm not, the only time I ever liked someone like this that wasn't Daddy was Neuro, and I didn't really like him at all, the 15 year old thought to herself a little worriedly, wondering if it was just all one way, wondering if she was really just a silly little girl like the tabloids had labeled her on a few occassions.

She catches his hand as he paces past her and pulls him down onto the couch with her using her good arm. "I really do want to stay here with you Tommy, If people have to think that we both died or whatever for you to be safe, I don't mind it, well I don't really want Mom and Daddy to be all sad or anything, but... I really do want you to be safe." she tells him, pulling his arms around her waist and lying back onto him, like they had just been standing.

"This feels really comfortable, really...safe, can we just lie here like this for awhile? With you holding me like this?" she asks him hopeful that he wont get up and start pacing again.

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?”

Cassie blinks at the image in front of her and nods. "I would like some information on your company and exactly how they facilitate this level of gene therapy. What sort of methods are used and all that. I understand that some of them would be proprietary secerts but what exactly would someone like Magog do to acheive these results and how would this therapy effect.. oh future geneations of that child or possibly effect a meta human expression. Basically I am curious as to the long term results of this." smiles shyly as she types out a query on the company name to her online dictionary/almanac as well as a discrete query on the company stocks, any business news that she might find with the skills she had built up over the months of online research that she had done.

"I don't want their help, there is little they can do to help me, and they wouldn't even begin to understand how to help me. It isn't their fault though, this is beyond anything that any of us have experienced," Sarah thinks back to John, "I doubt even you could understand what has happened to me."

"So what do you propose we should do, then? I mean, we have to do something, right?"

James blushes and looks at the floor after Kiyana's comment best boyfriend! Oh man we are like boyfriend and girlfriend... how cool is that?! She is too cool

Listening to the others he is not really sure what to think about Yoshi and Cassie... she is cool if a little strange but oh well.

To Anika, James replies Yea I heard you all had some interesting conversions with some criminal types...did you 'break-any-heads'?"

After hearing the pilot James straps himself into his seat and is ready to go. He tries out the sunglasses to see what kinds of displays he can call up on it... also checks to see if they have X-Ray abilities... hehehe that would be sooo cool, plus all the girls here...

“Typically, gene therapy is administered in prenatal care, though it is possible to apply later in life, ma’am,” Pandora replies gesturing to an on-screen diagram, “You are correct as well, I cannot divulge some data, it is proprietary or still in development. This gene therapy process has very minimal effects on the child, or their successive generation, it simply eliminates birth defects, or disorders the child may develop. Although the technology exists to tamper with what kind of child you could have, it has not been cleared for use at this time. I do not understand the term meta-human please clarify?”

Cassie has only been at the school I think just over a month, so I am not sure if she was doing this before she arrived. Anyways the company is young but seems to have a decent business background, a good model for growth, and plenty of backing.

Karen

Karen lashes forward and tries to grab Kal, but shrugs off the attack. He steps back using her movements to try and grapple her in return! Although his strength is great, Karen I able to resist the pain, but is no engaged in a grapple with Kal!

Karen rolls a 22 to strike and hits. But her Grapple check is a 16 and Kal gets a 30. Kal then rolls 19 to strike, and engages grapple with a 20, while Karen rolls a 17, and I now grappled. She rolls an 18 for hr damage save and takes no damage. Just for future reference you have to post under what conditions you will use a HP, for rerolling, I will not assume anything…

John

”We won’t have long to wait John. Things are moving faster now, everything is moving in and out of cycle. I can see it, I can see it moving all around us, several realities in collision, the walls between us are thinner now, weaker, he is breaking through…” Sarah replies to John.

Kelly

Tommy can’t help but smile, “You’re right, you know that? This is better, much safer and closer,” he laughs, “you smell great, you look great, your scary Kelly. Not in an intimidating way, but in a beautiful way. You scare me, in how you make me think. I had everything in control then, but now…”

He pulls her close, “I guess I am just scared, and its an emotion I don’t care for.”

"Nah, no heads were broken," Anika replies. She watches as James and Kiyana coo over ech other and smiles. "Cute couple, they are," she thinks.

"Yeah, lets get this bird in the air, bossguy," she says to Mark, strapping herself into a seat next to Ryan.

 

[Samnell]

"Yeah, lets get this bird in the air, bossguy," she says to Mark, strapping herself into a seat next to Ryan.

Mark nods and takes his own seat before giving the pilot the go-ahead. "Anyone ever been to Bangkok before?"

Kelly smiles to herself, at the reasurance that just being in physical contact with him brings to her. She closes her eyes amd breathes in Tommy's scent as she lies with him, content with the feeling of having Tommy's arms around her, holding her tight. Sighing, she rolls herself over onto her side so that her head is resting on Tommy's chest, and she is tucked into the groove of his arm. She watches his face as he tries to explain, and she gives him an encouraging smile and another quick kiss.

"Well, you should know that you make me all nervous and tingly too, wondering if you like me, if you like me as much as I like you, wanting you to be safe. I think thats kind of what its suppoused to be, I mean, never taking what the person you love is going to do, I mean they love you without you making them, thats a special thing." she says softly to him, but bites her lip when she realizes that she implied she loved him, when she still wasn't sure exactly how much he cared for her, not wanting her first real time to say it to be to someone who didn't really feel the same way.

Kelly

“Yeah,” Tommy replies, his voice nearly cracking.

A long moment passes before Tommy speaks, “I don’t know, love is a fickle crazy thing, are you… sure? I mean I like you, I do, I am crazy about you, I just don’t know. Love scars me, love between us, do you really think you can love me without really knowing… I don’t know if you could…”

Tommy brushes her hair back, “You don’t know enough about me yet, and your opinion may change Kelly… I don’t know if you’re ready to know… who… I am.”

The Aerodyne

The pilot replies, “Moving out sir!” the aerodyne lift into the air and heads out over the city, and then into the sky, and zip along quickly, the blue sky and the white clouds giving way to its increasing speed.

The pilot calls back, “ETA is eight hours sir, please relax and enjoy the trip.”

Yoshi crashes on a couch, “Dude wake me when we arrive, alright?”

Kiyana just lays her head on James shoulder, closing her eyes, as she yawns. Meanwhile Anika’s cell phone buzzes softly, with a text message forwarded from her dorm terminal, there is no subject but the message says it is from someone named Sami.

Tommy brushes her hair back, “You don’t know enough about me yet, and your opinion may change Kelly… I don’t know if you’re ready to know… who… I am.”

Kelly just nods and nuzzles her face against his chest. "I...I don't really know very much about love," she says, blushing, "I think I love you, I mean, I'm pretty sure I do, I... it scares me too Tommy, caring so much, but I already said I trust you with my life." she murmurs.

"I don't care how much you tell me now, I trust you, you'll tell me when I'm ready, we both can get to know each other more, so long as we help protect each other from super assassins, we have all the time in the world to learn about each other." she says, sounding completely genuine in her belief.
