IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil

[Mr. Handy]

"Let's gather the rest of the team," says Sam to Kiara. "We need to do what talked about earlier."

[Starspawn338]

"That will do for now. I do not believe that I will fail in the field." Jojo says as the others finish up. "It was not optimal for me to have had to encounter this alien entity alone. I suggest that those of us that were sent here to investigate remain together.

Jojo stands up and waits for Richards to bring him some new clothes. "Where are the others?"

[jp1885]

“Virgil went after Kingsley,” Kiara replies.

“So what now? Waystation? There’s a route via the transport hub.”

[Starspawn338]

"We have to assume that CENTRAL is compromised so anything we do must not be accessible or trackable by CENTRAL."

[Mr. Handy]

"While I do want to go to Waystation," says Sam, "there's one thing we need to do first. Remember what we discussed earlier?" She doesn't want to speak it aloud where CENTRAL can hear.

[jp1885]

Kiara nods.

“I also want to review the data I recorded when the lights went out. Shan’t be a minute,” she says, fussing with her pad.

Computer use 65 [67] = 67
d%: [ 67 ] = 67 can I spend 2 luck?

Nurse Richards brings Jojo some rather plain looking clothes, dull even by his conservative standards. Isabella returns from the clinic room, 'Nicole is in a bad way, I think she's going to need some attention.' It is clear she is addressing this to Richards rather than Jojo. Richards looks back and forth between Isabella and Jojo, he seems flustered, eventually he says 'Uh sure, I'll take a look.'

Moses seems agitated, 'Um, right, uh, look, this has all gone to pieces. I say we report in with Richter Dynamics on Ganymede and get the hell out of here. Biosecurity protocols mean Barnard's Rest is going to be quarantined. At least if we get off this rock in the shuttle we can quarantine somewhere we're not likely to get killed.'

Reviewing the data she recorded when the lights went out Kiara enhances the signals from the infrared and ultraviolent spectrums. She can see that far from entering the vents, Kingsley just calmly strolled out the door of his office. Who knows what Virgil has been chasing after in the duct system

Okay, so are you guys done in the Medical Centre? If so, where is everyone off to? The AI Core near Engineering, looking for a way to get to Waystation/Pumping Station 6, or somewhere else?

[Mr. Handy]

Yes, I think we're done here. We should head to the AI core next.

[Starspawn338]

OOC:   I agree. We're off to the AI Core.

[jp1885]

Yep, sounds good.

[jp1885]

Kiara shows everyone the grainy infrared footage of Kingsley walking out of the room when the lights went out earlier.

“Um, Virgil isn’t chasing after who he thinks he is…”

[Mr. Handy]

Sam watches the video. "I wonder where Kingsley is now," she says.

[Starspawn338]

"The creature that attacked me was in the ventilation ducts." Jojo say without emotion. "Isn't that what he was going after?"

[Mr. Handy]

"I don't really know what he was chasing," says Sam.

[Mephistophilis]

Moses remains behind in the Medical Bay, trying to contact Richter Dynamics and update them on their investigation. Nurse Richards also remains to see what he can do to help Nicole.

The rest head to the AI Core.

We're moving here

[Mephistophilis]

Back in the Medical Bay, Kiara finds Moses and Nicole. Nicole seems a bit better, 'Richards gave her a sedative, it seems to have helped' says Moses.

She gives a weak smile, 'Oui, I feel a bit better. But I cannot find my gun, 'ave you seen it?'

[jp1885]

“Virgil took it,” Kiara replies. “Went after Kingsley, except it maybe wasn’t Kingsley.”

“Anyway, we need you to help restart CENTRAL. Moses, you’d best come too.”

[Mephistophilis]

Moses goes white as a sheet, 'I, uh, I don't think I'd be much use. It might be better if I stay here and try and get through to head office, I'm having some difficulty opening a channel at the moment.'



'Restart CENTRAL?' asks Nicole, 'That sounds more up Isabella's street, but I'm happy to help if I can.'

[jp1885]

“I don’t think you’ll get through to head office,” Kiara tells Moses, “I’ve a suspicion CENTRAL is intercepting comms.”

“Besides, the way things are going I’ll need both of you. Where is Isabella now? Last I saw her she was helping you Nicole.”

[Mephistophilis]

'Uh, didn't she go with the rest of you?' asks Moses

Yes she did
