Generation Legacy Issue #8 "Innocence Lost" - Part 2

[KaintheSeeker]

The hallway is clear once everyone sets up around it, it extends down a long ways at least 100 feet, and continues around a slight bend that obscures your sight any further. Aris glances to Cassie wondering what the next move will be.

Cassie moves forward, using cover and any shadows to follow the plan that they had. "We consult the computers first correct?" she asks in a hused voice as she comes about halway to the bend before getting ready to peek around, going low as she does.

Cassie moves forward, using cover and any shadows to follow the plan that they had. "We consult the computers first correct?" she asks in a hused voice as she comes about halway to the bend before getting ready to peek around, going low as she does.

"I think that would be best," Karen whispers, "I don't think that when we have found Red Witch, we'll have the time to check the computers anymore," she quietly follows Cassie, trying to mimic her movements.

Yoshi blinks... "Holy crap, robotic PMS!"

"Yoshi, shut up," Mark says tiredly.

"You know, that's a tempting offer Kelly, but we really don't need an excuse. All he needs to do is keep acting like a jerk." He then turns to Anika and innocently asks "Do you think Cassandra knows he acts like this?"

"And Star, why would Kelly be lying about Tommy? I mean, it's already an established behavior that he runs away when in personal danger, like at the mall and the Preserve. Besides, what could she possibly have to gain?"

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly looks up at Star crookedly from where her head is resting on Anika's shoulder. "I wish I was lying, I love Tommy, I really do, why would I want to lie about him leaving me to die, I mean, you saw how hurt I was, that Hunter Killer was really powerful. If you guys weren't hard coded not to hurt Tommy for any reason, it would have killed him too, but he was fine, Erika didn't know about the programming, so when she told them to kill us, all the androids just went after me. I destroyed the first two, but the Hunter Killer just got the drop on me, cause I was looking at Tommy when he told me he was leaving me."

"He isn't just some little kid, he's smarter then Doctor Hudabo, and my Dad and they are the two smartest super intelligent elites. My dad's company makes a billion dollars a year, and that doesn't even come close Tommy's, and tommy has an army of Stars at his disposal, 800 of them so far, and they are super tough."

Star goes quiet and sits down, with her eyes closed not saying anything else.

Yoshi shrugs, "Whoa Mark don't you turn on me too, this may just become a hostile working environment. It's like this, if these STAR androids are going crazy and there are like 40 at the school and if Tommy is as shifty as she says, we are pretty damn screwed... don't you think?"

He sighs to Ryan, "Alright glow boy, you want a piece of me? You keep saying you want to kick my ass then do it, psycho! I bet you lay awake at night figuring out new crazy ways to hurt people huh? If you got some beef with me, then lets have it out, because if you are all going to threaten me, then I don't see a reason to help you at all. I am getting tired of risking my neck for you all. Call me what you want, I don't really care I am getting paid, but if you really want to figh it out, then let's go for it. I am not scared of you, so bring it!"

Yoshi shrugs, "Whoa Mark don't you turn on me too, this may just become a hostile working environment. It's like this, if these STAR androids are going crazy and there are like 40 at the school and if Tommy is as shifty as she says, we are pretty damn screwed... don't you think?"

"It's not about taking sides. It's about you pissing someone off every time you open your mouth. We're a team. We don't have to love each other, but we need to be able to get along and you're not helping with that right now. We're in this together, alright?"

"If the androids get out of control, we'll have to deal with them. Kelly's safe now. Wherever Tommy is he's probably safer than we are. We have some people to save right now, so let's worry about the rest later."

 

[Agamon]

Anika's tirade has left her even more drained than before. Calmed down, she just doesn't have the energy to get angry again. She moves from Kelly's side to Ryan. While she doesn't even look at Yoshi, she's obviously speaking to both of them. "Don't do this," she sighs, "we botched up our first job pretty good, let's at least make it to our second one in one piece. We'll deal with this later."

She then moves to Star's side, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Star. Something's not right. If there's one thing I've learned recently, it's that things aren't always what they seem. Tommy might have been controlled, maybe influenced somehow by his sister, or that wasn't even Tommy. It seems weird that he'd treat Kelly like that, help her like that, and then abandon her like a toy he got tired with. We'll get to the bottom of this, but until then, we need you, both of you," she says, looking over at Kelly, "to help us and focus on rescuing these people. Alright?"

She slumps down in the nearest chair, hoping they reach their destination before she passes out.

Kelly nods and gives a sad smile. "There's only soo much screwing up that I can do in a week, whatever I touch is gonna turn to gold from here on out, it has to, Karma and all that funky stuff right?" she asks jokingly, as she curls up on the seat like a cat. Her eyes keep flickering among everyone, as if she's wondering who is going to try and hurt her next, but her gaze always comes back to STAR, she was just almost killed by a bunch of her exact duplicates, and in the back of her mind she was afraid Star might try too.

"Umm, so like where are we going? I don't know if I'm actually allowed to go fight people with you, I mean, I'm not part of Legacy, and Mr. McCallister is soo going to start yelling at me when we get back if I do. Can you at least tell us what the situation is or anything, so we can be prepared?" she asks Mark, not moving from her comfortable chair.

"I think that would be best," Karen whispers, "I don't think that when we have found Red Witch, we'll have the time to check the computers anymore," she quietly follows Cassie, trying to mimic her movements.

Aris nods, “Alright the computers, which computers?” as she takes a moment to consult her memory, “I mean there are plenty of systems, which ones do we need, or what information are we looking for.”
