Yeah... so...

[governmentninja]

...does anyone else have any more bad news they'd like to share? Because, apparently, there just hasn't been enough over the last month.

So if you have any, spill it now, and let's just get it over with.

Edit: [Locked to Team Good] Finally, some good news. Some really good news.

Comments

You saw, huh?

Guess that explains a couple of things.

[governmentninja]

Yeah, it does.

Fucking hell...

[finalgirl.livejournal.com]

...I'm gonna go see Chris, okay?

I'll be back later.

[governmentninja]

Oh, yeah. Go!

And tell him I'm glad he's back, and send him my best. I'll be there sometime later.

[gadgetqueen]

Tell him I already have a replacement eye almost done for him.

[starsmedic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, speaking of bad news...

...about the Las Plagas. Are they going to be okay?

[governmentninja]

Baofu and Katsuya? They should be fine in a few days.

Everyone else who's infected? ...we'll see. If these parasites do take a longer time to take hold than the ones administered via injection, then there's a good chance we can save the bulk of the infected. Though we're running low on time.

[starsmedic.livejournal.com]

...what do you mean everyone else? Everyone else WHERE?

[governmentninja]

...

Raccoon City. Your Raccoon City.

You didn't know?

[starsmedic.livejournal.com]

There's no response.

[governmentninja]

*Leon gives her a minute*

[starsmedic.livejournal.com]

Are we ready to go? We ARE going, right? When are we leaving? Are you home right now? When do you--shit, she's not answering her phone--

[governmentninja]

Becky! Breathe for a second.

I'll be going, we won't be needing everyone. As soon as she's ready, Eiko can take care of most of the parasites in one shot. I'll follow behind to clean up whatever she missed, and to check out the town. If I need anyone else, I'll call.

[starsmedic.livejournal.com]

I'm going, with or without you. This isn't a matter of you "needing" me anywhere. That's my home.

[governmentninja]

Yes, it is. I understand how you feel, but you diving in recklessly won't help matters. Let me do the heavy lifting, then you come in.

[starsmedic.livejournal.com]

I know. It's not wise, but there's no time for an alternative.

I'd rather go with you since you have experience, "can do the heavy lifting", and I know the area and the layout, and can patch you up if you get hurt--but I have family there, and if you're not going to take me with you I'm going myself.

It's nothing personal and I don't want to pressure you, but this isn't something that can wait, Leon.

[governmentninja]

Becky...

...

Fine. If you're going to be there, I'd rather have you with me than on your own. And I could probably use an extra set of hands on the ground. Just stick close to me. While I have experience with these creatures, I still don't know how many we're up against, or what types.

[starsmedic.livejournal.com]

Okay.

I'm going to go get ready. Where do you want me to meet you?

[governmentninja]

In Eiko's garage, we'll be taking the APC. I'll meet you in an hour.

[gadgetqueen]

Yeah, I'm ready at your mark. I finished it, it's in orbit and I've dropped some UV and IR beams as test. It's ready to go.

I'm assuming that you're going to want to have a talk with me, too.

*locked to Leon*

[gadgetqueen]

Also, I may come with you and bring some highly expert assistance. Don't look at me like that, I can see it from here. I told him I thought it was a bad idea, and he STILL wants to come. He can locate them, he can suppress the growth at range. He is willing to help us with this, and his particular abilities, talents and knowledge could be the difference.

I know you are not the happiest person right now about this situation, but I don't know if you can refuse this help right now.

Re: *locked to Leon*

[governmentninja]

...What he wants is irrelevant. He's not going.

You told me that the Howler was up and running. How wide of a range can it work?

Re: *locked to Leon*

[gadgetqueen]

Hypersonics have a ridiculous range. The prototype? A sixty degree cone a mile long.

I have the satellite online. On your mark, Leon.

Re: *locked to Leon*

[governmentninja]

Damn... How long will it take you to latch it on to the APC?

Standby for mark.

Re: *locked to Leon*

[gadgetqueen]

Ten seconds. I can bolt it onto the accessory mount where I put the wideband antennas last time.

*dart*

OK, done.

[rauchnorr.livejournal.com]

I'm little.

I want to see him.
