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

<Cobalt Kid flies down at top speed, landing outside Medicus Two, and then enters>

While I\'ve got some time while Roll Call continues...

Seems like I've been here quite a bit these last few months. Nurse, I'd like you to show me to injured security officers as soon as possible, I'd like to help heal them.

<waves her off>

No, no, I don't need any treatment. I told you before, I'm fine. I'll get a full check-up when this is all over. But let me start with Holly Honey, I know she's in immense pain.

<a few minutes later, Cobalt arrives at Holly's bedside; she is so furious about his presence she won't look at him; not only did she once join the Security Office just to meet him, but Cobalt carried on an affair with her for several months a few years earlier>

Holly, I know you hate me right now, and I can't say I blame you. And I won't make excuses either. I'm a bastard. But I can help you, and I will.

<lays healing hands upon her legs; at first there is nothing, but soon a blue energy begins to emanate; soon, the legs begin to heal magically, at an alarming and miraculous pace; soon she is completely healed>

Th-there...you go...kiddo...

<wipes foreheard, obviously in pain>

I'm sorry for causing you to end up here...now Nurse, show me to Kenny Ketchum!

<walks to Kenny Ketchum's room, while the nursing staff all now follows him, still both in awe and somewhat skeptical of Cobalt's magical healing abilities which in truth he hardly understands himself>

Kenny Ketchum is one of Ranger's top guys, Night Nurse. I think he basically hates me and always has, so be prepared for a violent reaction once I've healed his collapsed lung.

<as they walk through, Cobalt notices his old room, where he was in intensive care after being almost assassinated only a few weeks earlier>

Hm...my old room...why'd I feel so weird walking by there all of a sudden? Like a sense of deja vu...like...like I should be remembering something. Very odd...

<Cobalt dismisses it and heads to Kenny Ketchum's room; soon he heals Kenny, bringing him back to 100% health; Ketchum calls him an self-righteous tyrant bastard, and Cobalt does not respond; not out of taking the high road but in truth because healing him has left him breathless>

A-alright, Nur--Linda...take me to the rest of them...there's work to be done and I'll feel a lot better knowing they're all healed. Even if they hate me for it.

<Nurse Linda leads Cobalt to the other rooms, and over the course of the next two hours each and every security officer is restored to 100% good health>

<several hours later, Cobalt is drinking a water with Linda, the Night Nurse>

Well, that went well, I suppose. Considering Jerry Curl wanted to punch me while I fixed his shoulder injury. At least Gisselle Bonita, Matlock's admin, was nice--she's always been a supporter of mine.

<wipes away sweat with a towel>

Wonder why my healing powers haven't worked on myself for awhile though. And why I'm getting such a feeling of anxiety while I'm here. Is it the guilt? Heh. I wish it was...but its not. Whatever that says about me. Its something else. Like I should be remembering something...

...but what...?

...when...I was comatose...?

<Cobalt concentrates hard, and remembers Space Ranger's advice, to trust your instincts. He recalls what another one of his great teachers, Matlock, taught him to do: to go into a zen-like state of self-awareness and search your own mind; to clear your thoughts and compartmentalize your emotions>

<and soon, Cobalt extends his arm, putting it on Nurse Linda, who holds him tightly to keep him steady>

...I...I think I... remember

<as Phineas B. Fuddle activates his celestial mechanism in his Orrery , a whiteout of chronal regression begins to spread across this establishment>

<Legion World is dying>

(teleports in with an unconscious Luna)

Dr. One! We need you!

.....

(Luna wakes up, still groggy)

What happened? I thought...how did I get here?

Luna! You're awake!

I brought you here. Dr. One has been tending to you.

you collapsed after that confrontation at the Villa.

I collapsed?

Kent...

Something else else is not right with me, things are happening to me. It feels like there are hands trying to tear their way out through me.

I think I need to take some time to rest...for a bit. I know this is not the proper time, but, may be it is for the best.

When I was releasing Lardi, my powers fizzled out, then it was like everything came out, then all that strength I used on Lardi...I can not control myself.

(Stands up)

I'll go to my office...

I guess I will walk.

(Uses the door)

Given you fainting incident, I'd feel better if I could escort you.

(follows)

<In the Ambulance Bay>

Make a Hole... Coming Thru...

Where's Doc One? We've got Lard Lad on the gurney, he's been shot in the head.

Nurse, alert the trauma center, initiate protocal L.L.-1 and notify the O.R. for stand-by.

<Ranger walks up behind Sam and Tony who are standing in the observation Deck of Doc One's Operating Theatre. Below them a team of Specialists are franticly working to save Lard Lad's Life.>

What happened Sam?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(How many times can Lardy dodge the reaper?)

It's Bad Ranger, real bad. He took a bullet to the head. Blood everywhere in his office and brain matter, not a lot... but...

You're supposed to be dead when your brain has been blown out onto the floor... But he wasn't.

Hell, he was trying to get up off of the floor, muttering something about the Dark Oval.

We Got him here as fast as possible.

Brit found him, one of the Monitors at the Security Office was acting wierd so she decided to check out why. I think it was just an excuse to get out of the office. She was at the patch panel and heard the shot. Tony and I were rolling two seconds later.

<Dev walks in the room where Sam, Tony and Space Ranger are all watching the operation.>

ahem. Sorry to interupt sir, but Everday Girl told me that I could find you here, so I came as quickly as I could.

Furball is leading a team from your office to the gunmans perch. He's relly confused about what he's found though.

He said that there were traces of silver, but he could not pick up on what type of weapon was actually used...or any trace of who would have fired the weapon. Which is odd given his acute senses.

I know I'm not officially on your team, but I want to help out in any way possible. I cannot find Cobalt anywhere, and am actually a little concerned about that fact.

I've worked for Cobalt before doing undercover work, and pure muscle work when needed. Anything you need, let me know.

<eyes flutter, vitals are all over the place>

<whispers> <span style="font-size: 9px;">Des...</span>

<goes into cardiac arrest>

<suddenly bursts through the hallway window at top speed, spilling onto the floor; Cobalt Kid is covered in cuts and bruises>

Where is he?

<holds up hands to stop questions>

I know, I know, use the front door. Yes, I was attacked as well. I'm okay, just some cuts and bruises. It's been a busy 24 hours and I've quite literally been to hell and back. But that's a story for another time.

Where's Lardy?

<is walked a few doors down to Lardy's room>

Everyone, there isn't much time for explanations. I need you all to stand back.

<notices Sam Pureheart but does not say anything; pulls off gloves and throws them on the floor; places bare hands on Lardy's shoulders; soon a low level blue glow begins to pulsate; it grows a deeper blue over time>

Head wound? One of the harsher wounds I've treated...but I should be able to handle it...

<wound slowly begins to close up, vital signs begin to stabilize>

<Dev is pacing around the hallway, ensuring nobody interrupts Cobie.>

This is not good. I was attacked. Furball, Cobie and Lardy. Someone is definately gunning for us.

<Hits communicator.>

Furball? Yeah, I think he's going to be fine, Cobie just needs to finish up. Perimeter scouting at the distance we talked about earlier. Thanks buddy.

<Dev goes back to pacing, and eyeing everyone that he sees.>

There we go...

<Cobalt removes hands as the healing process continues and the deep blue glow remains around Lardy; Cobalt falls backwards a bit, but two of the nurses catch him; he wipes the sweat from his foreheads and momentarily his own wounds worsen as his healing power is used elsewhere>

...little...out of...breath...

<he smiles at the nurses>

Lardy, you okay? Looks like someone tried to kill you too...

<As Cobie talks to Lardy, a shadow grows on the window of the room.>

Rrraaarrrrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!

<Furball crashes through the window and through the opposite wall into the hallway.>

<Cobalt looks up and back.>

Holy Shi...

<Dev races through the holwe in the wall and towards the window.>

I'm on it, make sure he gets help.

<Dev flies out the window and out of sight.>

y-ya think? <touches head> Ow!

Oh god! Lardi's...gone.

<closes eyes>

He...warned me. I was able to deflect the shot...slightly. Bad as it was...I woulda been a goner without Lardi.

<opens them back>

Des...I couldn't sense the attack! No one, I mean no one gets the drop on me like that.

The weapon...the attack...it was designed to fool my senses. Lardi...he's even more powerful than I am, but he was almost fooled too. He's...not there any more. Felt him die....

<sits up suddenly>

Oh, no! Des, it's GONE--the Lard Force! Gone!

<it's then that Furball crashes thru the window>

Well, that's not good. If we're all being attacked, this is an awful time for you to lose your--

<suddenly, Furball comes crashing through the windows; Cobalt reacts by using his powers to protect the nurses, the EMTs, Lardy and himself; Dev then flies through the window>

What is this, Grand Central Space Station?

<goes over to Furball, and heals him as well>

Another attack...well, we know *something* is on Legion World, even if we don't know if its related to Zardi or not.

I'm calling for a Code Red Alert. Legion World is under attack, that's clear now.

<oblivious to evrything else>

Gods, it's gone. Not...again...

<Runs to Furball's side.>

I'm not a Vet...

But he doesn't look to be seriously hurt, just shaken up.

But who?

<Glances over at Sam, then flies out after Dev.>
