To Reconnect

[Ever since she'd taken her seat, Layer hadn't moved from her station. It was easy to monitor and work her magic over the comm lines, but the difficulty hump came in the form of navigation: Alia was right... they had the right idea, but the spotters needed a little more time yet. Can't stop, have to the weight for a while longer. She could stop to ( Read more... )

[Did someone say "pinged"?

Axl pokes his head in...and then sidles on up to Layer's console, rests his elbows on top of it, and leans forward.]

Oh, hey, didn't even realize you were here too, Layer.

Axl...

[Zero wanly smiles at the other S-class.]

gunslinging June 7 2010, 03:14:20 UTC

[Axl smiles back, but for once, he's not really even bothering to fake it. Yes, he's worried and it's pretty obvious.]

How'd it go?

final_number June 7 2010, 03:16:45 UTC

Like crap. You can count me out for a good long time.

[head lowered, and shaking it grimly.]

gunslinging June 7 2010, 03:20:08 UTC

[Have some very colorful profanity muttered under his breath. He must've learned that one from Red, because he sure as hell didn't pick it up from X or anything.]

So what can we do about it?

final_number June 7 2010, 03:21:35 UTC

Help Alia find Gate and kick his ass, basically.

gunslinging June 7 2010, 03:23:45 UTC

[Gate, Gate, he's heard that before, he thinks? History isn't exactly Axl's strong point, but --]

Gate? Isn't he that guy from the Sixth or something?

final_number June 7 2010, 03:26:53 UTC

Yeah. The Zero Nightmare? That was him. He whipped up some badly recolored copy of me, using scraps of my data and DNA, and sent it around spreading an enhanced and modified virus so strong it was actively warping the areas it infested. He ruined my name while I was helpless to defend myself, because I was still in pieces after the colony drop.

gunslinging June 7 2010, 03:34:37 UTC

Wow. Sounds like a real charmer.

final_number June 7 2010, 03:36:58 UTC

Oh, it's better than that. Then he whipped up a bunch of fake 'investigators' and sent them out to all the infected areas, telling the public they were going to 'solve the crisis'.

gunslinging June 7 2010, 03:40:07 UTC

Let me guess: eight of them!

final_number June 7 2010, 03:42:09 UTC

Got it in one. And he was working with some weird old man calling himself Isoc. Funny thing is, near the end of the Uprising, he just shows up stone dead, with no clue as to why or how. Like an empty shell.

gunslinging June 7 2010, 03:44:08 UTC

Well, on the bright side, the more I hear, the more I think I'm going to enjoy shooting his face in.

final_number June 7 2010, 03:59:32 UTC

Yeah. Too bad I can't be there when you do.

By the way, status on your copy?

gunslinging June 7 2010, 04:03:16 UTC

We split so we wouldn't have to explain anybody seeing double. He's got the directions back here, though, so hopefully he'll be popping in anytime...

final_number June 7 2010, 04:25:08 UTC

Good. Smart.

[Zero rubs his hand along the back of his neck, then gets up.]

Be right back. I'm grounded, but I feel like I need to do something useful.

[he leaves the room, heading out to the hall.]
