Snow: *takes one of the samples and puts it in another spectrometer before he quietly turns his attention back to his sample*


- Station Square… -

???: *looks even more confused* I… don't know. I guess? But what do you mean by monster? That was just a few hours ago? So… *looks at the grey sky completely covered up in heavy clouds ready to pour out their water* Uhh… that was today or yesterday? Is it morning or evening? … Coming to think of it, what date is it anyway? *she starts to sound very concerned, her already weak and somewhat tenuous voice starts to stutter and fail her for short moments*

Nene: *looks at Pico and then the door whichis gleeming even brighter. Without hesitation she tackles Pico to the floor as several beams fire where in the middle of the room after several minutes she helps him up and out of the room* ok you alright? Everything in place?

*The group with the arms at this point have climbed to the 4th floor. having run out of steam for the moment they take five to catch their breath.*

*Doc's Lab*
Doc:thank you sir.*he then streches himself moving his body to the table while still attached to Val and looks through at it* mmm hmm…*he sprouts another tentacle and adjust the foucs and goes in closer looking at the abnormalities* …(well it is what I think it is however its not large enough to do major damage. In fact a good majority of it can be cleansed right now, however there are a few things that I'll need to make pills for. at most she'll need to take a month's worth. Maybe 2 to be sure. First thing's first to see what my fellow scientist is up to.)*he then moves over to Snow's space* So, whatcha got there Snow?

*Station Square*
Joseph:*as he listened to her questions, he felt uneasy. This was a fellow mobian in need of aid in the middle of a crisis. Its true she looks offputting, but the emotion she puts behind her words are no doubt real. Not to mention the fact she didn't know what day it was started to make him think she may have hit her head hard and just got lucky. The fact he hadn't tried anything yet made him feel worse. he took a glance at his watch and then to her* It's Tuesday, 2:17 PM. and the attack happened today Miss. *a rumble can be heard coming from the clouds* Tell me, before we continue can you tell me anything about yourself? Your name, age, If you have a family near here we can help you look for?

Pico:yeah*he smiles at her*thanks
Nene:no problem.
Pico:*Pico looks at his file*lets go before we end up loseing our heads*sweatdrops*
Nene:*she laughs then puts her arm on his shoulder* sure

Snow: I'm making sure something like this doesn't happen again. *he replies taciturnly; as the spectrometer finally finishes, he takes the sample out and the analysis from the printer to decipher it* Now that we know exactly what that Remus injects with his Fear Needle, I might be able to work something up that nullifies that effect. *and without further ado, he starts work* (The more I know about him and his pets, the easier it will be to crush him.)


- Station Square… -

???: *opens her mouth and inhales ready to answer, but then stops* … *and struggles with her voice* … M-my name? … I… What is my name? Wh-… *she starts to sweat in the upcoming panic, one of the pearls on her forehead bows to gravity and wanders down the side of her forehead, taking dust on its way with it and revealing a thread of black fur* … I don't know… I don't know anything! *she starts crying* What- what happened to me???


- Somewhere else… -

Rheinheim: *sits in his wheelchair; even despite his completely white eyes, one can see his glance goes nowhere in thought*
Remus: *after waiting in the shadow behind him impatiently for several hours, he finally moves and clears his throat* Professor, the scrolls are all long scanned. Why haven't you looked at them yet? We caught them off guard, we should act quick now where they're the most vulnerable.
Rheinheim: *not moving* I can't rrecall zat I have asked for your opinion, Rremus.
Remus: *winces slightly* See, I know you are mourning for Cynthia's loss, but it was just. You did the right thing, and if she actually cared for our goal, she wouldn't have acted as she did in the first place. She vilely deceived you. If you ask me, she never had any honour or upright intentions to begin with.
Rheinheim: You… *his body starts shaking* … You little IMBECILE! *he hits a single key on his wheelchair; the runes on Remus' wrists start glowing bright and he falls to his knees and hands silently, as if electrocuted* Don't dahre to talk about her like zat! You vant to prrove you are better zan her, hm?! You vant to stay on ze move?! Fine! I give you ze shance to prrove yourself! Get out of here end bring me new potenshial hybrrids! End I dahre you to brring me one who does not meet ze qualificashions!!!
Remus: *bows without objection and leaves the room* (That sure hurt. But I know he doesn't mean it like this. I just hope I enraged him enough to bring him back on track…)

(I haven't time to post until wednesday. expect a large post then with all of my current cast. sorry for the delay :( )

Nene: *she then walked down the hall with him as he read* so, what's it all say so far?

*up in the stairsway the group calls for Zack to help move the arms the rest of the way. Within minutes the werewolf Picks up the arms and starts to carry them up the stairs*

*Doc's lab*
Doc: I see. Well, you think you could make some for me to save time? Cause your wife still has one or two more things that need made and this would help greatly with her detoxing.

*Station Square*
*that's all he needed to hear for an excuse. he felt stricken with guilt that he acted out of character for so long and this could confirm that she could have been just lucky with a bump. While he does note the fur strand and how it is dark it is, however he simply puts it off as mere coinceidence as the wolf in the picture looked like it has something metal on her and this wolf in front of him had nothing of the sort. In front of him all he saw was in was someone confused and in need of someone who can take time to help her out. he pulls out his radio and gets his team on the horn*

Joseph: Oliver, Rick I found a lone mobian wolf in the middle of the street who can't remember a thing. get over here at once. *he then takes a moment and sits her down with him alongside*
*within minutes the 2 came over as small droplets started to fall in the distance*
Rick:We're here.*he looks at her as he opens his bag pulling out a first aid kit* sir, she doesn't look too bad.
Joseph: again she might have injuries we can't see and the dust may be covering it.*he then looks to her* Would it be alright with you if I examine for any injuries?

Pico:lets see…*the red fox reads a bit more*ive teleported here by acidentive been on a space station that blown up….bummer ive alsobeen in some frozen thing for 50 years….cold just 1 random thing after another not sure if i really believe all this….and if it is true i dont know if i will remember all this…sigh i need this stress like i need a hammer to the head.

Snow: *blinks a few times as if he didn't catch a chunk of Doc's words* Make what? *he finds it ever harder to keep his eyes wide open*


- Station Square -

???: *still trying to calm down* I guess *sniffs and looks at Joseph helplessly* Are- are you going to help me try and get my memory back?

Nene:*puts her arm around her shoulder* hey give it time it'll all come back. what you did, how You got here memories of friends and family. You just got to try hard…hey here's a thought, why don't we chek up on your folks and see if they're ok?

*Doc's lab*
Doc:…*he looks at Snow carefuly, then hears a knock at the door*
Zack: guess who just got a new sample?!*he puts the arms on a huge table*
Doc: ah, so, these are the infamous arms that everyone talks about. I never thought I'd see these up close again.
Zack: again?
Doc: yes, these arms and the blades chained to it cut me eariler today and could have done some damage to an operation I was doing.
Zack: I see. So, think you can see how they work?
Doc: yes…tell me were you injected?
Zack: yeha and it was a cocktail mix for sleeping. That or killing.
Doc: hmm…(that means the arms might have more than a fear toxin and flames to ignite them)*he then looks to Snow noting how he's trying so hard* Hey Snow, I think you should lie down for a bit in my room. You seem to be zoning out and having a hard time concentrating and really I don't need you to accidentally injure yourself while in here.

*Station Square*
Joseph:*he then looks into her eyes. he wants to help her badly and say “sure thing we're from Zot we do this all the time” however he's not sure as this was his first case of running into someone with memory loss. If this was a friend it be no biggie and give him to doc or kenneth to play with however, she is a citizen and while he didn't want to lie, he didn't want her to lose hope either. In a way, she was injured and needed some help.*…I can't guarentee I'll be the one that brings it back…however, I will try my hardest to help recover them.*he the continues to check her body for any injuries. he checks everything. Arms, legs, feet, hands, everytime making contact with her, making sure she could rotate everything and move. Nothing seemed out of the ordanary as everything felt and looked natural from her fur and skin it was attached to, to the movements he asked her to perform. he then started to look at her head checking for bumps that might have caused her memory loss.*

Pico:(hmm i have parents?)sure why not….
Nene:whats wrong?
Pico:…nothing i just dont know where they live heh
Nene:come on i,ll show you

Snow: *shakes his head* Bullshit. There are times to sleep, and this isn't one.
Val: Snow, you should look in the mirror, you look deader than dead.
Snow: And should I end up as something Death would fear, I won't give the enemy that triumph of catching me off guard. So stop trying.


- In Station Square, the medical check up continues to bear no fruit. The wolf lady is not injured or harmed, no signs of wounds besides slight scratches, no hint of anyone taking advantage of her unconsciousness or anything else. Her physical condition is distinct indistinct. She is overall too well for any survivor in this suburb of the city. She must have gotten extremely lucky and the attention of a very good guardian angel. The fact she is absolutely naked from toe to top also brings up questions - to which she of course doesn't know an answer. Joseph tries to help her by asking her basic questions, without any result. -

???: *seriously upset by her situation, the panic creeps back to her; to give herself some hope, she asks* Do you know someone around who's specialised in helping someone like me? … Or anyone who can help me at all?

*they head down to the 12th floor and run into several magic students gathering around the library*
Nene: um pardon, what seems to be going on?
Chaz:oh not much really just our library being ransacked is all and there being a huge hole in the floor.
Nene: you don't seem to be in a panic.
Chaz: well so far there's no need to be, everything is accounted for.
Nene: and your teachers?
Chaz:…all are in the medic ward except master Cole.
Nene: is he down here?
Chaz: yes but he's sort of busy right now. why do you ask?
Nene: his son needs to see him.
Chaz: his son?

*Doc's lab*
Doc:Snow your letting this drive you if-*feels a light tapping onhis shoulder*
Zack:*whispers to him* Doc, he's not going to listen. He's too wrapped up on fear of loss and revenge against this “Professor guy”. Might I try something?
Doc: Um, sure?
Zack:*wakls over to snow and bops him on the head knocking him out. then picks him up*your room?
Doc:My room…oh and put him on the right side of the bed. The left side is where I sleep.
Zack: you sleep?
Doc: doesn't everyone?
Zack: No. *he starts to walk out* oh and Doc seeing how Rob is still not capable of working your in charge. so what are the orders for the moment?
Doc: hmm…first thing's first get this tower back up and running.*he then picks up a piece of paper and writes a new set of instructions on it.* Then in the meanwhile have the group upstairs contact our camps and issue the follwing orders orders to any milltia/G.U.N at the checkpoints. Make sure our guys know too.
Zack: understood. *he leaves with the paper in hand*
Doc: *he then turns to Valary with a smile on his face as he begins the procedure* Now then, let's get of all that nastyness inside you out…

*Station Square*
Joseph:…*he hesitates to speak as he's not sure. He knows about about the 2 back at the tower, however they were told to stay away. Any others he's heard about are on the moon and at off areas outside of Station Square off the grid and in unknown places. He knows that they were built by Zot but not sure where they are. Not wanting to disapoint her he responds* We, might know someone who can, but they are a good bit away from here.*he then notices the droplets starting to fall* Let's carry this conversation somewhere more dry.
Oliver:*also taking note* I'll take Rick and look for some stable shelter.
Joseph: an excellent idea. Leave the bag though.*he thensearches through for something to keep her dry or warmfor the wolf in front of him.*

Snow: *opens his eyes the moment he hears Zack leave* (Damn, playing dead man was all that's in with my reaction?) *sigh* (Fine, whatever) *he starts weighing his options again* (No idea where that Remus guy went, nor who the other one was. No working computer available, my lab is broken, the X Level Labs are too, and obviously, people still put the scale of the average idiot's incapability on me, so Doc's lab is out as well.) *a little growl* (If anybody would let me do my work one time) *he notices the note pad and pen on the nightstand by the other side of the bed and grabs it* (This time we play by my rules.) *he writes down the molecular compounds of the injection out of memory - it takes him a good one a half hours, but the result is flawless; afterwards, he starts scribbling down several compounds that would work against the effect*

Pico:*raises a eyebrow* why is that so hard to believe?….you know what i dont care i need to talk to him now!*Pico bumps Chaz out of the way*
Nene:Pico! dont be rude!*she then apologizes to Chaz then ran after Pico*

Cole:*looking through the archives writing downa list of spells *he then hears Nene's voice call for Pico to wait up* with that said he heads towards his son* Ah Pico perfect timing how are you doing boy? the wife and girls ok?

*Doc's lab*
*It takes him some time but he gets all the nasyness he can without any assist for drugs finally after an hour's work he pulls his tentacles out of Val and closes the area. He then proceeds to Snow's work station and looks at Snow's already begun work notes the begining structure and lets his brain do the rest. he then takes a small sample from the arm and filters the liquid he needs to begin making something out of it. As he waits he atunes his hearing towards his own room and hears faint scribbling he then turns to Valary who makes a small noise as if to draw attention*
Doc: yes dear?
Val:Um, am I good to go?
Doc:yes and no. yes I fixed everything I could while in there however there are still traces of the fear toxin you ingested that need a specific way to be dealt with.
Val:w-what?!
Doc: Don't worry just relax, and let me explain. *he then sits down after taking a moment to settle Val down* Over the past few months you and Snow's food was tainted with a chemical that induces fear along with several more that can mees up the body. its a real simple procees really all someone has to do is put a small amount of the ingredients in the food in the food unheated. Then one oven session later and its ready to go and in your system. It can do all sorts of things and make a person's life a living hell. From fighting to just trying to move out of bed if given large quanties of the stuff.
Val:…but what about Snow? He eats the same stuff I do.
Doc:yes he does, however as you are aware-
Val: he likes it Raw…so that means its in his system, but not affecting him?
Doc: That seems to be the case. do you recall where the food came from?
Val:*shakes her head* are you saying that the food he bought could have been tampered with?
Doc: one of several possibilties. Anyway I need to go and check up on sleeping beuaty.if you need something*he then whisltes and Anita comes out of another room by the one Snow was put in* Jusk ask Anita.*he then makes his way towards his bed room*

*eleswhere in Zot the tech ninjas had finished with more than half of the tower's rewiring and light replacement*

*Station Square*
Joseph:*pulls out an olive jacket that while covers up doesn't hinder her movement in anyway and listens to his radio go off.* try this on.
Rick: sir, we found a place. . We passed it up the street not to long ago its one story, has holes in it and leaky roof, but its still up and stable.
Joseph:*proceeds to respond*alright we'll be over shortly.*he his radio away and looks back to her* how does it feel? its not too snug, is it?

Pico:….their fine…
Cole:is their somthing wrojng?
Pico:*Pico quickly gives a look at Nene that says“i dont know what to say”*uh…no everything is fine..heh

Snow: *as soon as Doc enters, he takes a notebook to the head* Try this. It should work in a matter of seconds, last thirty to thirty six hours and be free of any addictive, harmful or intolerable substances. To be produced in small pills with a tube of at least ten at all times for each member. Refill stations are to be installed on each floor and all current and future outside missions to be equipped with a month's supply for each member. Available in apple and grape flavour. Whoever likes neither is dearly invited to bite me. Yes, I did all this in my sleep. I'm fit, *despite the bluish black abyss the corners of his bloodshot eyes have turned to* feeling good and will defy all efforts of you and anybody else to stop me from doing what needs to be done. If someone asks, I'm at the training field. And send someone to kick the Comm Division's representative's ass. I don't think he understood the part with twenty four hours. *walks past Doc and out of the lab, greeting Valary with nothing more than a nod and an indefinable groan*


- Station Square… -

???: (It's literally plucking my fur. It even feels more like I am being flayed alive. But I mustn't be rude to him! He's been so nice to me and I'm sure it would make him sad.) It's just fine, thank you. *she smiles as much as the situation allows her to*

Cole:*Alright…then what's with that look…is everything ok?

*Doc's lab*
*he comes out ofhis bedroom rubbing his head and proceeds to work on the the serum in silence for awhile he waits and tinkers with the APG then once the brew is done injects some into Val's blood stream and watches it go to work after heading to a machine with her. He then fires up another and condences the rest into pills. Val attemps to open her mouth, but Anita just shakes her head. Everything remains quiet till he speaks*
Doc:Anita…can you do me a favor and go see Val to the nearest room to rest?
Anita:Um,sure doc…you gonna be ok?
Doc:yes… I will be fine.
Anita: ok if you say so*she then takes Val gently by the hand and leaves the room.*
*Doc the goes back and forth fiddling between his work not noticing some reps from the comm room pulling out some physical's on the new guys who joind zot a few months back after an hour of work and processing Pills he stops and lies on the talbe and stares at the ceiling*

*Station Square*
Joseph:(Is she lying to me to be poilte?)*feels the rain coming down* come on let's go.*the 2 then run through the rain and into the building the others are at before the downpour and proceeds to pant from their little sprint*
Rick:sir, as soon as your done you need to talk to the camp.
Oliver:we have new orders. *hands him the radio*
Joseph:*proceeds to respond*talk to me
Mick:Joseph? ah good, listen up we have a change in orders.
Joseph: what kind of change?
Mick: about survivors…any surrvivors are now to be seperate from the camps. Milita and G.U.N are being told this by our troops all over the world. Also the camps are being booby traps and up in power and helping those willing to fight learn to protect themselves and others.
Joseph:I see…tell me would one of the off grid areas work if I were to go somewhere with a survivor?
Mick:…I don't see why not. you could restock get any medical attention needed for them and help them learn to defend themselves.
Jospeh: perfect. thank you Mick. Over and out*he sighs with relif knowing he has a plan*(this is good I can now really be of help to her now we just need to find it now.)Rick, did you see any possible vhecial we can hot wire?
Rick: just one and its in crappy condition. Sir I know you want us to leave as quick as possible, however on foot would be best at the moment as we would have less problems geting through stuff.
Joseph: fair point. listen up take some time to restup men we've ben at this for several hours. take a breather and keep on guard. let oliver know we'll be moving out wether or not the rain goes within the hour I have some news to deliver.*he then heads over towards the wolf* hey I got some good news. We're going on a small trip to get your memory back its a bit of ways out, but it'll be worth it. In the meanwhile though can I get you something? Some water? food perhaps?

Pico:uh…well…you see i kinda sort of have amnesia
Cole:….oh
Pico:ive been working non-stop trying to figure out who i am..or was?..whatever*Pico pulls his file out of his hoodie*but believe it or not thats not important right now how are you?

–The Fey Realm
*Through the trees of the darkening wood comes a new form, fair and slight with fashionably long hair. Its countenance marks it as seelie, though its gender is less easy to distinguish. Although the newcomer makes little noise, Puck ears discern footfalls over Rhiannons sobs long before arrival.*
Puck: Ah, Ariel just who I was hoping would find me. *says with no intonation of injury as he squints up at Ariel with his good eye.* would you be a dear and mend my arm?
Ariel: *looks down on the Puck and then at Rhiannon.* who is this and how have you harmed her? Was it with sword or your vorpal tongue?
Puck: tongue, but Ill have you know that it is no new injury.
Ariel: prodding pain that you clearly knew was there? I dare say you deserve what you got and she is in far more need of mending than you. *the Fairie cocks an eyebrow and bends over Rhiannon.* who has hurt her first?
Puck: Torvek, the man that bound her to the mortal realm, and Inkyou know of him. *puck uses the tree as a support as he finds his feet.* I am in a great deal in discomfort, would you mind fixing my arm already?
Ariel: then this must be Rhiannon. *says Ariel, voice filling with sincere understanding.* (how much her story eclipses mine.) *wonders the fairie while looking over Rhiannons weeping form.* (her Torvek was my cruel Sycorax, her tomb and curse was my cloven pine, Ink set her free as my Prospero did for me.) *A shiver runs up Ariels spine.* you are quite brazen to torture she who might be my twin in spirit and then beg of me to take from you that which you have reaped. What makes you think I would want to help one as low as you? *Ariel asks with contained anger.*
Puck: What I did was on Oberons behalfif I have fault in this matter its only that I enjoy my job overmuch. *says Puck defensively. Noticing that his words have not softened Ariels ire he grudgingly adds.* Fine, if you fix me Ill owe you a favor.
Ariel: two favors; one for your arm and another for your actions. *Ariel demands stubbornly.*
Puck: *Puck grinds his teeth before finding that hurts too.* Fine, just get it over with and help me carry her to court. Theres more going on then we can see, and Oberon wants her to know all of it.
*Ariel steps around Rhiannon and begins to work on Pucks arm as well as his hundred other less major injuries. After many minutes they fashion a stretcher out of leaves and carry Rhiannons unresponsive form out of the forest.*

–Zot
*Lucy searches for Pico, somehow always remaining one step behind the elusive fox. He seems distracted, lost in thought as he navigates around repair crews and through detours of a tower he barely knows.*
Lucy: (maybe he wanted me to just say Hi to him? or maybe, he was apologizing? It cant have been anything that important, could it? Maybe the message isnt important and he just wants me to meet this guy. Maybe hes the one that runs the brothel around here Damn, I really hope so.) Ah, Lori, was it? Im not sure if it would be too forward of me to ask, but would you like to sleep with me later? You know, just for the hell of it.

(Ink part to come)

(Rust part to come)

Cole: well son, slightly confused. See my superiors and more around my stature of magic seem to be drained. However, I seem to have been sheilded by an unknown source. I know not wht caused it but I am thankful. Aside form that I'm checking to see what was stolen…*a thought then crosses his mind* Son, how fairs your magic?

*Zot hallways*
Lori:*she blinks a few seconds and sighs*Lucy, IWhile it is a nice suggestion we're in the middle of a crisis at the moment. Also, I just met you, know nothing about you, and you didn't even ask anything about me. Tell you what, when this is all over, I'll concider going on a date with you to our mall on the 4th floor. Alright?

Pico:*Pico starts to rub his head where he bumped his head earlier while laughing nervously*im afraid its a bit rusty i atleast got my healing down

???: *shakes her head energetically in excitement* No, thanks. Are we going right now? *she wags her tail*

Cole: I see…(of course you would master healing first. Your mother was always fast when learning something. Me, it took awhile to learn my stuff.) Well worry not son, I'll hapily re teach you all I know and the basics once we everything here is taken care of.

Pico:great!…can me and Nene help you with anything?

Cole: Actually son, there is. Think you and Nene can help go through this list here and help me make sure all these scrolls are where they should be?

*Station Square*
Joseph:*he smiles* give us a moment to catch our breath first. After all we've been looking for people for hours now and are glad we found someone.*the group takes its time in recovering and resting up they wait for a bit and look outside seeing that the rain while still there isn't going as hard or as fast than when they first got here*Alright we're moving out. Going to be honest you will get a tad wet from the weather. We're going to be leaving town and heading to the “off grid”. It is a long journy to get there however there are several points here in the city that we can use to stock up on rations. After we leave the city area we will be on our own for awhile. Now, are there any questions before we go?
Oliver & Rick: No, Sir!
Joseph: *he then turns to the wolf* how about you? you just about set?

*without hesitation they started to work right away*
Pico:lets see healers scroll..scroll of enchantment scroll of……necromancy?…i dont want to know. how you doing over their Nene?
*Pico turns his head and sees Nene already half way done with her pile*
Nene:oh im doing fine*she did a cheeky smile when she saw Picos look of disbelief*
Pico:(damn i knew she was organised…but dang)

???: *has started to become a bit scared by this speech, but swallows it down* I-I think so?

*As the 3 continued to organize things they started to come up on the bigger spells*
Cole:hmm…that's not good.*he starts to check for them and notes that they are indeed missing* We don't have the “-ga spells” missing and some high level cleric techniques…you find anything son?

*Station Square*
Joseph: *he takes a moment and speaks in a calm relaxed manner* Hey, its alright to be nerverous its understandable your going through a lot and this is new to you. We'll do everything we can to ensure a safe trip there. All I ask in return is that you trust us to do our jobs, and if possible help out in any way you can. *he gives her a warm smile* Can I count on you to do that?

Pico:hmm…*Pico rummages through his pile until* yep here it is
