Project: Daedalus (Issue #2)

"Stopped? Hell, he was vaporized. No body or nothing. Kiro's sword made him poof. Vanished right out of my paralysis beam. He's dead, Jim. As for this granite dude, hey, you'll catch him again, right?"

Rubbing his chest through his coat, he asks with a bit of irritation, "Yo, you got any burn ointment on the plane, or should I check with the infirmary here? Well, as long as that freaky doctor in the glasses isn't there. Man, he creeps me out. I think I'll stick with the burn over letting him near me."

 

[Elementor]

Sarah and Jaya soon emerge from the prison. Spoting the group, they make their way over. Jaya, looking a bit flustered, sees Aaron and walks up to him. "How things go out here? You okay, Aaron?"

Aaron just nods to her but stays silent.

"EM?" Sarah speaks up from where she stands off to the side. "She didn't get too far. Last I saw her the staff was sedating her and her partner - and assuming by his size that may be Granite. If everything went without complication, they should still be there, outside cell 023."

"Don't be so modest, Sarah," Jaya says with a sober look on her face. "She stopped Pantheon's jailbreak almost singlehandedly, took them all down like the soldiers at the facility."

"Huh," Neutron says. "Almost makes me glad that all I had to deal with at the farm was Max," he adds with a lopsided grin.

At this point, Calvin emerges from the prison, three guards and the hulking Minotaur behind him. He turns to the guards and gives them some sort of order before spotting the group and heading over. Minotaur follows, a huge grin on his bovine face.

"Well, that went even better than I could have hoped for," Calvin states, looking the group over with a smile. "Luckily all of you were here, or we could have had a large problem on our hands. Thank you very much for the help.

"And not only did no one escape, but it looks like we have a few new prisoners," he says, grinning at Sarah and Jaya.

"Heh, that Novacek loser thought he was pretty tough," Minotaur says, still grinning. "I showed him what tough was," he says, emphasizing the 'tough' with a slam of his fist into his palm.

"Yep, you showed him who's boss, big guy," Calvin responds with a chuckle.

"Any chance we could get things under way soon, Calvin?" Screaming Eagle asks.

"In such a hurry to part with my company, Jennifer?" he says with a mock-wounded look on his face. "Well, for starters, if anyone is hurt, I can take you to the infirmary to be looked after. The rest of you can head to the cafeteria, where we were originally headed, and once we're done there, we can get down to business." he explains with a nod.

 

[Calinon]

"She's not the only one wanting to get out of here, spanky. But the infirmary sounds good to me, and I need lunch before I go catatonic from a sugar low."

 

[Mimic]

Miguel's features blend back to his original form as he walks up to the group.

"Did someone say something about food? Lets go, I'm starved."

 

[Master_Pugs]

Kiro nods his agreement at the mention of food, but something still troubles him, something about that doctor, maybe a little too wierd... He will fall in beside Tyroc as they move towards and through the facility, "I overheard that the doctor struck you as odd too... do you think perhaps the Wraith didn't die and instead plans to make his escape through another's body?"

"Jack, ask someone who knows these things, like Angel or Devil or my momma's new patient. Or hey, how about you ask the warden. Me, I think you disintegrated him."

"Don't be so modest, Sarah," Jaya says with a sober look on her face. "She stopped Pantheon's jailbreak almost singlehandedly, took them all down like the soldiers at the facility."

Sarah slips her hands into her pockets. "Don't be singing my praises, Doc. I was-" just doing my job, she finishes the thought to herself. She shakes her head. "I was not alone down there, Doc. If I hadn't stopped them, someone else would have."

"Jack, ask someone who knows these things, like Angel or Devil or my momma's new patient. Or hey, how about you ask the warden. Me, I think you disintegrated him."

"Wraith?" Calvin asks, overhearing your conversation. "Yeah, I was told of your encounter with him. I have to admit, there's no precedent of him being able to turn invisible or teleport or in any other way disappear, aside from his ability to possess another. But he does need to be in physical contact in order to do so. So unless he's..." Calvin stops and turns to look at Kiro. He stares into his eyes intently for a moment and then turns to resume his course. "I've got a few patrols looking for him right now. Of course, if he's alive, he's probably long gone by now. If not, well...anyway, if he's the only one that got away, I consider us damn lucky. Either way, it's a helluva lot of paperwork for me."

Tyrone, Kiro and Calvin make their way to a building. Inside, a door from a lobby leads to hallway, which leads to an infirmary. Five men and woman are here being treated from various injuries incurred during the breakout attempt. "Doc, when you gotta chance, Tyrone here has an electrical burn on his chest," Calvin says to the doctor treating the guards here. Calvin turns to speak with one of the other guards as he sits in a chair, a tensor bandage wrapped around his leg.
