[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7562835, member: 79141"] [b]Session 214, Part One - The Good Doctor[/b] Wolfgang greeted Korrigan and looked around for other unit members. He could see none, which clearly disappointed him: He had heard talk of ‘capable foreigners’ and guessed they would be involved somehow. “I knew our paths would cross again.” Wolfgang told them he had heard reports of problems in Ursalina and came to see if he could help. Once here, he set about trying to find a way to defeat the invaders. He was very pleased to have finally managed to secure a sample from an oculus. Doran introduced himself and said that Wolfgang would have known him as Saladoor Saan, who had once helped rescue him from Reed Macbannin’s lab. The good doctor thanked him, and offered to take a look at his eye. So they found a place to hide, and he patched Doran up while they talked. They exchanged information, telling him everything they had learned, including the mystery of their missing team members. (Korrigan noticed a flush of concern when Gupta’s name was mentioned, although the doctor tried to disguise this.) In return, Wolfgang said that the creatures in control of the city were clearly psionic in nature and showed them the oculus prism that he had taken from an orcish police officer, and imbedded in the back of his own neck! This device rendered him invisible to the thoughtforms. (They showed him the prism they had retrieved from the vesicle, and he confirmed that it would work in the same way.) Glaucia objected to his murder and dismemberment of the orcs. Wolfgang said that he had acted in self-defence: The officers he killed had been victimising a one-legged half-orc girl and attacked him when he intervened. The autopsies he carried out were intended to establish the nature of their domination, and yielded the prism (and his very handy mask). As for the grave-robbing rumours, to help the poor girl out he needed a fresh leg. “It’s a little big for her now, but she’ll grow into it.” Quratulain examined the oculus prism, wondering if it could be replicated, but it had been grown, not made. Brakken double-checked that it was not dominating Wolfgang in any way, but it was not. Still, no one was brave enough to try using theirs, though Doran considered it. He didn’t fancy losing another eye! (He wondered aloud if the oculus might have been able to transmit the information it gleaned from him, and if so, what that might mean.)
