Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Medicus Two: To be used when Medicus One is blown to tiny bits

<opens eyes and looks at monitors>

Okay...barely a blip on his readouts. Let's tug a little harder...

<looks at monitors>

Still nothing.

Okay, if Des were in any way dependant on that piece of me to keep him alive, something would have happened to indicate it.

Okay, Des...here goes......

<Lardy concentrates and focuses all of his being on retrieving that piece of himself from Cobalt>

<sweat pours from Lardy's brow as he, delicately as possible, extracts it>

Argh!

<a blue light momentarily surrounds and he falls backwards to the floor>

I-I've got it...

<looks feverishly at the monitors and sees no change>

G-good, I--

<his eyes flutter as a huge rush of memory crashes into his brain>

...oohhhhhh...

<passes out>

<eyes pop open>

Oh, gods--NO!!!

<looks around feverishly, eyes tearing up>

G-gotta get out of here....

< \'ports away >

Interesting.

3G opens his Omni-pod and sends a quick text to Yellow.

The nurse opens the door and looks inside.
"Everything ok?"

"Yes. I think he was having a bad dream or something but he's quiet now."

<Steps quietly into Sir Roy's room.>

Hmm... Still sleeping, apparently the sedative hasn't worn off yet.

I hope you wake up soon Roy 'cuz Brit forgot to ask you one simple question; What were you looking for on that street? The only things around there are a couple of small machine shops and Abin's old fixit shop...

<hand moves suddenly>

*body shakes...eyes flutter*

*cough*

*cough*

...l-lardy...?

...what in liberty's name...?

<looks around, dazed and very weak, taking everything in>

medicus two? but why? how could...healing powers...remember a shot fired...

<looks at tubes and machines plugged into body>

this won't do at all...

<pulls out tubes; suddenly tries to get out of bed>

where is everyone? what's happening?

<tries to walk out of room>

[EDITORIAL NOTE: er...can someone notce that Clive's body is missing? Thanks! ]

<Hears the noise from Cobalt kids room and rushes over there, arriving just behind Doc One's Hot nurse who is trying to get Cobie back into his Mrdical Regeneration Unit Bed.>

Boss, you quit giving the nice nurse a hard time and get your butt back into the bed, NOW!

My Whee Fem! Thank Liberty! C'mere...

<puts arm around her neck, shifts weight so she's holding him up>

I'm not trying to feel you up...promise...(we can do that later if you're good )...this nurse doesn't seem to realize we've got work to do...

<starts trying to walk to the door>

Bring me up to speed on *everything*. I think Lard Lad was here. I wonder where Lolita has been? I was shot, and I should have been able to heal myself--so this is very odd. I have some suspicions about who did it, but I feel like whatever you can tell me will slim that list down.

*cough*

*cough*

<feels dizzy>

...dammit!...need to get it together...

My, did the nurse mention there were other people here at Medicus Two? Have their been more attacks?

Careful there Cobes. Let Hello Nurse help, you've been out of it for a couple of days days, don't push yourself.

While you've been here people have been popping in and out like bleedin' fireflies.

I think it's best to arrange transport to the Security Office so your crew can bring you up to speed..if you think you're up to making the trip.

Nuh-huh... Cobie you're going back into that bed even if I have to crawl in with you to keep you there...

Now you be a good little Cobie and I'll bring you up to speed... As soon as you let the nurse stick a few tubes and hoses back in place...

GGG, you've been out of the loop. I'm not with the Security Office anymore. Hell, I'm not even an LMBer these days...and maybe its time to end that once and for all.

As for you, you little minx...

<grabs My Whee Fem, kisses her dramatically>

I've been in a coma for who knows how long dreaming about what you can only imagine and I needed that to regain my strength . (By the way, you kiss like someone I knew once, but I haven't seen her for some time).

Now forget all of that, I can recover while I'm working on the case. Take me to whatever other patients have been admitted and start getting me up to speed

These cute nurses can hold me up as we go. <eyes nurse> You never worked for Dr. Landro, did you?

<notices grizzled appearance in the mirror>

Hm, sexy...

Get me one of my old costumes, the 'Tempest' variant. And a razor. And some coffee or something stronger.

*cough*

*cough*

Ha, just a little springtime allergy. I'm allergic to not working...

<Flies in, land behind Cobie who is still staring at his reflection in the mirror>

You think you're strong enough to be out of bed?

<Eyes the nurse and My Wee Fem.>

Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Or would you need to be stronger to get back into bed?)

<Standing hands on hips off to one side glaring at Cobie and the Ranger.>

You two macho clowns are... ARRGGHHH!

<Throws Cobalt's Tempest outfit in his face...>

You ever kiss me like that again... I'll...

...you'll be pretty damn cute when you're mad, that's what.

See, I'm feeling better already! I just needed to kiss a pretty girl, clean myself up and maybe get a drink.

<turns to Ranger>

Hey Ranger . Good to see you, and I'm going to need your help. Obviuosly the thought of you picking me up and putting me into bed is way to homoerotic for either of us. We'd both much rather figure out this whole mess.

Now...<changes into costume in front of whole room, not caring who sees what>

My Whee is telling me about Sir Roy, Clive, and this mysterious John Doe, all here. Let's go see them. If I start to keel over, you have my permission to hit me Ranger. <grins>

As for you My Whee Fem, I might need your help to hold me up, and you smell really good, so I'd prefer it was you...

First stop: John Doe. <starts walking>

Wait a second Boss...

Nurse Goodbody or whatever, where did Clive Taylor's body go? I thought Doc One wanted it kept here in the Stasis Capsule until...

Ohmygod! Mr Cobalt just like what do you think you're doing out of bed!

And where... Lard-lad surrendered to me a few minutes ago, confessing to Clive's Murder... But now Clive's body has gone missing?

Whoa, whoa, whoa...Lardy confessing to Clive's murder? And now Clive's body is missing? It appears there is a lot to do...

First stop, then, is where Clive's body was.

<all move down the hall, as Cobalt is filled in and enter room>

Hm...I knew Clive was troubled, but from what you're telling me, he was on the verge of some sort of breakdown...

...I arranged an entire trip into the mountains of Legion World to figure out where Clive stood these days.

<view room>

Yup, no body. Hard to prosecute Lardy for his murder if there is no evidence Clive is really murdered. Do we have a coroners report?

Ohmygod! We have a coroner's report, we have a murder weapon, we have blood and forensic evidence linking the murderer to the victim, (gotta love Gladys's recording abilities) and we have a recorded confession...

We just seem to have lost the victim's body...

It's a good thing Mr. Gramps-Lock had custody of everything else...

What about Sir Roy?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(If someone could get in and spirit away Clive...)

<stunned>

Well...seems like you've got this case almost wrapped up.

There's just one problem then. If Lardy killed Clive, who shot me? Who attacked Roy? Who harmed this 'John Doe'? And whatever other odd crimes have been occuring?

Going on instinct, there is just too much more going on here. Don't you agree Ranger?

Let's go check on this John Doe, and then Sir Roy.

<walk over to John Doe's room>

I just left him, he was sleeping peacefully a moment ago...

Precisely.

(And yes, I'm tired, so I know they realize I know more than I'm letting on. I've been working on this case for months, before any crimes were actually committed...but I'm too tired to explain how, and there's too much to be done now).

<enters John Doe's room. The man has been brutally beaten, his face and hands heavily scarred as if unrecognizable>

Well, I'm reading Jailbait Lass's private emails now. Apparently she's been quite upset. I'll have to make that up to her...

<walks over to John Doe>

And apparently Shark Lad has an interesting theory on you, sir. My healing abilities did not work on me, but I have a hunch that had more to do with the method of attack and the bullet used than anything to do with my healing powers not working. In other words, they should work on you.

<lays healing hands on John Doe's face, and on one of his hands>

Let's see if maybe we can help get you back to normal...

<blue light begins to emanate from Cobalt's hands>

*cough*

*cough*

...s-sorry...this takes a bit out of me...

<blue light begins to heal John Doe>

...should only be...'nother minute...
