Once the trigger was pulled, there's no taking back what happened.]
Stay back.
[He kept his eyes on Jaime. Heightened senses and a very acute accuracy was all that he needed along with an incredible intuition that he didn't have to know a person intimately to know they were either telling the truth or lying. He knew that Jaime was unaware of what was happening to her which made it very hard to shake.
Seeing Sarah made it just that much more difficult to explain what was going on. He didn't want to give away her secret but somehow, something was going to have to give.
He pulled the trigger on the taser. Likely or less, it was enough to knock down a horse. Modifications were a godsend in some ways.]

Having already bent to prepare to jump into the elevator shaft, Jaime's convulsions from the taser strike send her about to topple into the shaft...
SARAH: You notice that unlike a terminator, the skin around the metal arm is not real skin. You also notice that she obviously does have real skin elsewhere, which is now burning from the arm heating up]
((ooc: FYI the point of the taser hitting her fleshy bits was to clear Sarah to EMP her arm.))

Her hand flashed out to slam a tight, precise EMP blast, aimed to knock out the overloading power pack that was obviously about to blow. Bright streaks of pain flared through her head as she did so and she grimaced. No words were necessary, so she just grit her teeth for a moment.
Her eyes flicked back to Lamont and then Sands.
"That ambulance better the fucking quick," she snapped.

[Lamont watches the woman go limp and has noted the bionics. He kneels next to Sarah, setting a hand on Jaime's forehead. He looks down at her face and narrows his eyes at the unconscious woman as he concentrates. Her behavior was much like the other victim he's helped, she seemed oblivious to all.
He goes very still as he cautiously initiates his telepathy. He's more concerned about backlash from Jaime's mind, than he is another telepath at the moment.]

He handed over his device to Sarah so she could get a better idea.]
I trust that you won't tell anyone else about this.
[His eyes showed a bit of sadness as he looked to Jaime.]
I want the both of you to keep this a secret...for her sake. The doctors...I'll handle them. I have a story for them already prepared. I'll talk to them. Don't mention anything about her ripping apart that elevator door or she's fucked.
[He moved to look behind him and glared at the cops that were surrounding them.]
Secure this area and don't let anyone come up to this floor until Officer Sommer's is cleared from the building. I'll need a path cleared from the freight elevator. When the ambulance arrives, tell them to meet us at the freight dock. MOVE!
[The cops didn't question Sheldon as they did as they were told.]

- what triggered her to do this was a series of carefully, expertly laid hypnotic suggestions, some to forget her being hypnotized and some to instruct her to make her way as swiftly as possible to the bowels of the police station. These suggestions were put in place relatively recently.
- Her obliviousness was linked in to some of her OWN memory blocks she's subconsciously put around old (from several years ago) memories. There are also some memories flat out missing but it's NOT from recent tampering. More like brain damage that happened a few years ago.
- Her mental awareness and vitality is fading FAST. ]

The revelation that the mental blocks are not all from outside sources is concerning to note but not his current concern. That she was slipping away was his focus.]
Blast it.
We may not have time to wait for the ambulance. We'll lose her if she doesn't get help now.
[There is precious time, and without her conscious mind to guide him, he will have to search through brute force to locate the point in her mind where the hypnotic suggestions were put into place in order to undo them. He does not want to send her off to the hospital with the mental suggestions still in place, if he can undo some of the damage in time.]

"Well, this is a fucking mess," Sarah said, her voice a snarl. "I shut her down. The only thing I can think of doing is chest compressions until the damn bus shows up."

He did what came to his mind and that was to give her air. He dropped his crutches and extended his bad leg to keep from bending it to perform mouth to mouth. There was not a moment to lose. He wasn't about to let what happened to Jaime that happened with Elisa.

Undeterred, however, he put his energy toward clearing away the droning sound of the drums the best he can. The laughter was less difficult to ignore, but the four-beat pounding in his head was persistent, annoying, and threatened to distract him from the efforts at hand.
He was more cautious in his approach this time, but still pushed forward into Jaime's fading psyche, seeking out the point at which the damage had been done, in order to prevent it from happening at the hospital until he had a better opportunity to completely remove the commands of the "Master" from the woman's mind.]

The power required to press new behavior upon her without manipulating her other memories or behaviors spoke of significant power, and he knew it would not be any simple task to remove it. While he moved along with the paramedics, sitting in the ambulance, he focused on isolating the imposed behavior, in an attempt to keep it from happening again. Once they arrived at the hospital and she was stabilized, he would later return, to finish the job.]

Fortunately, sirens signal the arrival of the ambulance, as there are shouts outside as the EMTs prepare to do their duty. Two of them run in and assess the situation. Seeing first aid being given to Jaime, one of the EMTs approaches the discarded two police officers that Jaime kicked into the wall. With one with a neck twisted in a way necks should never be, and another that went head first into a wall, he makes a quick judgment both will just need to be body bagged and sent to the coroner.
The other EMT approaches the group surrounding Jaime.]
