It is dark. Diego is wearing fatigues. A breastplate of body armor. An exo-frame and tactical helmet. There is a mag rifle in her hands. He is hunkered down behind some rocks outside of a gates in a mountain compound that had just been blown open. Around him are similarly attired soldiers and, giving attack orders not too far off is Colonel Costa, using gestures to emphasize her commands. There is a woman talking her. A Sergeant. Then the Colonel shouts for any stragglers to 'move it!' before moving in on the gate herself.
Everyone else sees Diego go solid as he crouched down near Reaper. Then his form goes limp and begins to fall to the ground. Before making contact his physical form breaks apart turning into a black cloud that hovers low to the floor like a menacing fog.
It is as Iona starts in on sharing her theories and ideas with Peter and Dr. Sokolov, when Peter looks over to the doctor it is perhaps the first time he actually looked at the man since leaving the Ascension chamber. As he does he notices for the first time there are hundreds of AR monitors floating around Sokolov and an array of control icons that he manipulates during his work. To everyone else Dr. Sokolov is making unusual gestures with no apparent purpose. To Peter, he is interfacing with a very complex AR system.OOC wrote:Diego is pulled into Colonel Costa's mindscape. Make a DC 20 Will check. If he fails the save, Diego does not realize he is Diego and thinks he is just another soldier under the Colonel's command. Diego also get's 1 HP.
Yes, Reaper can be placed on her own table. There are five tables with built in scanning equipment in the room. Iona is not physically strong, however, and Diego just went unconscious and reverted to his base for: a cloud. She will need help moving Reaper. Diego … dealing with him will require some unusual means.
"Good observation Iona. Sooner or later Null always abandons those who need and trust in them. Usually when they need them most."
Dr. Sokolov responds to Iona when she comments on Null's recent actions and Diego responds with warnings of Null's displeasure. He looks at neither party, however. Instead his gaze roams over the space around him as is looking for something. Later, after attention is draw to Reaper's condition, and later Diego's, he actually focuses his attention on the scene. Rather than concerned he appears intrigued.
"A curious development. Yes. See what you can find out. You are full of so many ideas, but gather information before proscribing a course of action my dear. Look before you leap and all."
After a minute Dr. Sokolov speaks up again, and as he does he points at the monitors that had been brought up at the center of the room earlier. New data feeds into the screens showing portions of diagnostic data during the Ascension process and what Peter and Iona had gathered more recently from the Colonel during their more details scans. Further, there are meteorological readings.OOC wrote:To assess the unconscious state of Colonel Costa and Reaper make a Physician roll and a Technology roll. Peter may lead the Tech roll, and if Iona wants to she may Aid.
If you want to just start defibrillating them with the intent to wake them, proceed. There are options built into the tables to allow for this. In this instance make a Treatment roll and a Technology rolll.
"Look at this. The storm began near the end of the Ascension process. About the time she started yelling in the chamber. Following the rise of energetic absorption since her exit from the chamber, there is a parallel increase to the size of the storm. She must be creating the meteorological changes. Whatever she is drawing on to fuel this, it is considerably more than ambient energy. More than the just western hemisphere's power grid."
