The Beast Within [Dark*Matter D20]

"To the general public we wouldn't be asking those kinds of questions." Anna says. "We need to just be more thoughtful on who and what we say. I'm not going to ask Mrs. Jones if she's seen a werebear but I'll ask Rachel Silver."

"With regards to the science, Mr. Parkinson, I'm afraid you're talking to the wrong person. I've got field knowledge, not any lab time clocked. But, if you'd like, I could contact head office and see if they'd send you some information?"

"Yes please," says John eagerly, although it seems to be a matter of biology (not his strong suit), he's sure he'll find the actual information on lycanthropy most interesting in the context of the legends surrounding it.
 

Daunte shrugs, clearly not interested in arguing over it. "It was just a thought." He turns back to Davies. "Will tranquilizers slow these things down? If so, I'd like to requisition some. How about silver bullets, and any other anti-lycanthrope gear? If we can go into this situation as prepared as we can be, I'll be a happy, happy man."
 


"Right. We're sending you in as an Animal Control team, along with the paperwork to back that up. Local law enforcement should be cooperative, and the Serif of Bavinton Keys knows enough that we've told him you're coming. On Institute business, so you should get any help you need. Please be aware that none of the rest of the local police force has a clue about our work, so be discreet.

"Tranquillizers will send a lycanthrope to sleep just as well as anything else, although you'll need bear-sized doses. We'll be issuing you with a couple of tranq rifles, which conveniently fit the Animal Control cover, and a magazine of silver bullets each. Please don't use them unless absolutely vital, as they're damned expensive.

"Any wounds should be easy to treat in of themselves, and we'll give you a small quantity of medication to treat lycanthropy. Again, this is rather pricey, so try not to get bitten.

"If you've got any other specific requests for gear, feel free to ask. The worse I can do is say no." Davies smiles, leaning back in his chair.


(OOC: Sorry about the delay. I've had problems getting on-line for the last few days, and a full weekend. We should be back on track now.)
 

"Pepper spray," answers John, after a moment's thought. "Easier to carry than a tranqualizer rifle, and I seem to recall bears like the taste, so it double as a lure."
 

"They do? Well, you lean something new every day..." Davies muses. "Pepper spray we can certainly give you. If you've got any more questions, feel free to ask. Or, if we're finished here, my secretary will give you directions to the Institute armory. Rather grand name for a scruffy wearhouse, but they should have everything ready for you."

"I got nothin'," says John, holding the door open for the others as they file out the door.

ooc: Who's still around, anyway?
