"I don't know." I answer honestly. "I will try my damnedest- Zero seemed to come out of it when she saw Ollie, and Bran had her brain all kinds of twisted up. We gotta find them all, first."
I don't know how I would even start, honestly. Get a cut …
I'm surprised by her frankness- and impressed. She'll be a good leader. I wonder how Bran recruited her.
"I can help you sniff out the others. The Candies can help you with them if you need guns." I glance over at Kiddo- hoping she doesn't mind me …
I want to taunt her as she walks away, but I don't want to reveal my hand. It'd be nice if she knew I had some leverage over her, but I want to be able to actually use it in case I need to, so I stay quiet, smiling a little.
I look over at the obvi…
"Fine. We'll rot." I say, staring at Santi. After a moment I stroll over to the bed and sit down, trying to look as bored as possible.
OOC: How do we convince Nezzy to let us out and ally with us?
She seems more aggressive than necessary- I wonder what's really going on outside the brig. Maybe she's mad she's stuck here babysitting us.
OOC: Read a sitch incoming.
I walk over to Kiddo and take her hand. "She wanted to kill Ollie, but Hump hugged her, and once she saw your dad... it's not her fault. Bran twisted her brain all up."
OOC: Helping Kiddo incoming.
"I think we should try to ally with Nezzy." I whisper to the terminal. "She doesn't want a bloodbath. Otherwise Bran's people could bring the whole ship down. I'm going to try to talk to her."
"Yes, if we could get back in the lab." I answer Kiddo.…
"Let me talk to Kiddo. Do you think the Candies can take control if you let them in?" I whisper. "I love you."
I lean up against the wall and close my eyes, wondering how to get out of here with minimal loss of life.
OOC: Open your brain incoming.
I touch the plastic over the screen and close my eyes, thinking of the last time I saw Metro. "Not yet. What is going on out there?" I whisper to it.
I don't want to break out of the brig and have to run away from the Ascendant. There has to be a b…
I ended up digging out twenty seven bits from her hip- a couple big ones, and the rest were all tiny. It took a long time, and I know she was in pain, but I had to be sure I got it all out.
I dab a piece of gauze on her forehead. "You're welcome, s…
I keep digging fragments of bullet out of Kiddo. When she murmurs I tell her everything is going to be fine. That she's strong. We're nearly done. My vision tunnels so my entire world is my instruments and Kiddo's wound. Time slows...
I feel this w…
"No, Nez, I don't think you give a shit about anyone but you and yours, but that's not how I operate. Kiddo is pregnant and I'm going to do every fucking thing in my power to save her and the baby because THAT'S WHAT I DO." I wipe my bloody nose on …
"We'll sort it all out, I promise. Just sit tight. I'm going to go save your daughter's life." I take one of Zero's hands and squeeze it.
The only reason I went over to Zero is because I was confident that Janco could start working on Kiddo- and t…
I look between Hump and Jemma. "Hump. Jemma. Stay with Ollie. Kiddo's been shot. I'm going to operate." I give Jemma a look- trying to convey that she should keep her eye on Zero.
OOC: What does Zero intend to do?
