Carlise Manor - Teams 2 and 6

by **Constantine McGraw** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 11:10 pm

"Maybe they're not" cam a flat, quiet voice as Con drifted silently down the corrider. "But given you seem to think this is a negotation, let me make you a counter offer.

Give us all of them and we'll give you a head start. Otherwise, well, I'm not feeling very fucking reasonable right now."

Con looked even worse than he had done when he'd been freed from the rubble. Somewhere along the way he'd lost his coat and the front of his uniform was completely blood-drenched.

He looked about fit to start world war three.

"It seems I am not being taken seriously," the man says, leveling a cold gaze at Constantine.

The man sighs and looks up at the monitor, "Destroy the girl's mind."

On the monitor, Rebecca nods and turns her gaze towards Nina. Stroking the girls cheek, she lifts Nina's face up. Nina's eyes flutter open for a moment.

And then Nina begins to scream, her back arching as she struggles uselessly against her restraints to escape her captors.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 11:56 pm

God damnit, Con!
"Tell her to stop!" Sara stared with horror at the scene playing out on the monitor. "Conduit is not speaking for the team anymore."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:00 am

Victoria's eyes were, again, red as she entered, there seemed to be a red tint to her skin around the myriad cuts that had gone through her uniform, particularly at the one where she'd been stabbed. "Stop killing her," she said. "And tell us what you want." She gave Con a very, very threatening 'keep your fucking mouth shut or I'll rip it off' look.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:36 am

An unseen signal and Rebecca stepped away and Nina hunched over, sobbing.

"I've made my request clear," the man says, "Leave and you take the girl and your teacher with you."

"I will not repeat myself again."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:40 am

"Fine," Victoria said. "I hope you'll forgive us if we're cynical enough to ask that you send them out before we all leave this room?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:49 am

Con looked on, a flicker of disgust at his weak-willed teammates crossing his face.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 9:33 am

Bear nodded.. Time was something that was apparently running out very quickly.

"Let's go, now." She said as she entered the hidden bunker, hopeful that they would be enough to save Nina..

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 11:32 am

John shot Con a dirty look, for he may have just cost Nina her mind.

We had it under control you idiot.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:29 pm

Jayda and Bear wouldn't have to go far before they reached the door that led to the main area. They could hear movement inside and Nina's voice very indistinctly through the door.

-------------------------

The man smiles and snaps his fingers again. There's a sound of a door opening and Amanda and Stan are dragged out by two large and burly vampires.

"We will send the girl to you when we are finished here," the man says, "Do we have a deal?"

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:37 pm

"What guarantee do we have that you will follow through?"

by **Narrator** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:48 pm

"None," the man says with a chuckle, "But dictating terms is not a way for any of you children to live."

The man smiles warmly at Stan, "I'm sorry we were interrupted. Boisterous house guests always make work difficult."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:58 pm

"Doctor Bowen!" Sara's head swivel towards the two hostages and back to the Progenitor. "What have you done to them?"

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 1:25 pm

C'mon guys...

"We'll have to make sure they're still themselves before we go anywhere."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:25 pm

Stan's time in captivity had not been kind to him.

He was gaunt, pale, and clearly out of it, unaware of much that was going on. In addition, the fangs and claws were not a positive sight to anyone, perhaps excepting the Progenitor.

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:57 pm

Amanda looked scared and angry, but was otherwise unchanged. She had an inhibitor collar on, but was not otherwise restrained.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:00 pm

The man just smiles, the guards stepping away from Stan and Amanda.

One of the guards whispers something the man, causing his smile to broaden. He glances over at one of the monitors briefly.

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:01 pm

At seeing Mr Bowen, John was close to agreeing to have Con blast the scientist into oblivion. However, sacrificing any hostage was against his code of honor.

John looked to the monitor.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:02 pm

Sara glanced at Stan with a mixture of worry and suspicion, looking at Amanda for any hint or sign about Stan's state.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:14 pm

Con watched and waited. The time to strike had long since passed and this was the other's game now.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:29 pm

Victoria nodded, then motioned for the others to walk out. "Make sure nothing else happens to them. I'll wait here to watch things... seeing how I'm the non-threatening one," she said, never taking her eyes off the scientist.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:41 pm

Con looked over at Victoria then shook his head, almost impercptibly, a guesture only she would notice.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:44 pm

Sara turns around to Victoria and looks at her with a 'Are you freaking kidding me' look on her face. "We're all staying here until I hear that Professor Weinrich and Doctor Bowen have made it out safe."

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 6:32 pm

Jayda nodded to Bear as they approached the door hearing movement from within, indicating she should stand on the other side of it and out of the immediate fire zone. Hopefully when the door opened outwards it would give Bear cover behind it from which to attack.

Jayda took a position in the shadows, slipping back into them so that she was once again hidden, her gun at the ready.

"We have found where we believe Nina is being held. There's a lot of movement within.. we are in place to engage hostiles."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 6:40 pm

Upon hearing that Sara looks back at the Progenitor. "I guess that's it then..." Casting a quick glance at John and then at Stan she charges towards the vampire holding Amanda, intending to get between the two.
"Dominion, Closer, get her out of there, NOW!"

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 6:50 pm

John charged for the vamp near Stan in an attempt to tackle him.

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 6:53 pm

Let me give this a try, Closer. Hold tight for a moment.

Turning to face into the shadows Jayda studied the room in which Nina was being held, a wall on the opposite side from where she stood seemed to hold the answer. Drawing her gun Jayda used the male vamps own shadow as a portal and sent a bullet through straight towards the back of his skull.

Hopefully no one would notice the slightly darker spot in the shadow which was the tiniest bit of the tip of Jayda's guns barrel before he was done for, then she would turn the gun on the other vamp a split second later. All from the 'safety' of the other room.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 7:03 pm

The vampires looked surprised, grappling with John and Sara as they seem torn between keeping the hostages in line and protecting their boss.

"Stop them!" the man yelled angrily.

Jayda's shot managed to kill Rebecca with ease, but a split second was all Jacob needed. Moving quickly, he avoided a fatal shot and took the bullet in the shoulder.

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 7:08 pm

John held nothing back as he kneed his foe in the gut. If it had a large enough effect he'd shove him back and tail-whip him into the powered equipment.

(hoping for a console)

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 7:09 pm

Hesitating is all Sara needs. She's had enough of betrayal, vivisections, in-fighting and just everything by now and just wants this whole thing to end. Whatever part of her arms manage to press against the vamps torso in their struggle rapidly grows spikes, trying to penetrate the vamp as far as possible while she holds on to him.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 7:10 pm

Victoria shrugged, her face the picture of 'oh well, not my fault,' as she let her whip uncoil as she started toward the man. She glanced back at Con. "You coming?"

by **Jayda Nightridge** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 7:20 pm

Closer? One hostile down, taking action against the other - come remove Trauma Pack, while I distract him?

Jayda used another shadow portal and took aim again, looking to shot him in rapid succession in the knee then stomach, hoping to disable Jacob before she and Bear entered the room.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:14 pm

John managed to slam the vampire into the console, the sounds of delicate electronics breaking as he hits. Slowly, the vampire gets back up and advances on John.

Sara's foe looks surprised as it's skewered by her spikes. It looks down at it's bleeding torso and begins to go limp.

Jayda's shots manage to hit Jacob, who lets out a cry of pain as he collapses onto the floor.

The man looks calm in the center of all this chaos, gazing steadily at Victoria and the others. He glances at his watch.

"I suppose negotiations have broken down then," the man says, "It would be a pity, but I was never planning on leaving you alive in the first place."

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:20 pm

John uses his right hand to claw the oncoming vamp across the chest with all his strength.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:24 pm

As the vampires grip slacks Sara pushes him away from herself, the spikes melting back into her arms as she turns towards the Progenitor, drawing stone from the ground to cover herself in jagged plates again."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:32 pm

Con didn't reply to Victoria, there didn't seem to be any point.

Raising his arm, he drifted across the corridor to get a clear shot then unleashed a blast at the 'scientist'.

More powerful than his usual blasts, it would at least stagger him even if it didn't cause him significant harm. Unless he was actually human of course...

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:36 pm

Amanda stood helplessly, unable to force herself to do anything that would help her escape.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:40 pm

John's claws rake across the vampires skin, slashing away at it's flesh and making it shriek in pain.

Con's blast blows the man's arm clear off. The man lets out a brief yell of pain and clutches what's left of his shoulder.

The man smiles at Con, "You're...too late."

From the hallways beyond them, the group can hear a high pitched shriek and the sound of something skittering towards them.

A lot of somethings.

by **John Hino** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:43 pm

John took the chance to punch his foe hard in the face.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:46 pm

The one-armed man apparently doesn't pose much of a threat against Con and Sara's about to let out a sigh of relief as se hears the skittering and whips around towards the source of the sound.
