Chapter Two: Outlaws
-
[[Maybe I should blast Rose with ship exhaust? Nah, who knows what kind of crap it releases…]]
“Well, looks aren’t everything. Also you should’ve seen this thing before I polished it.”
-
Kika follows the two Ascendii and finds the ship named Betty, frowning as she looked at it, “This is Betty?! She doesn’t even look like a Betty!!” She walks over to the ship, her bag still in her arms, “If anything, it’s…it is…” She rubs the ship with one hand, obviously in a new kind of trance again, “Annabelle…”
-
Apollo looks at Kika with a weird look.
“Wow you do have something for ships, don’t you? Either way, it’s Jack’s. Ask him if you can fly it.”
Apollo created a thundercloud in the air and made it zap Betty’s power generator, making her spark with life.
[Holy cow! I didn’t know it would actually work…does it talk?]
-
Kika smiles and closes her eyes as she hears the ship turn on, “I’ve always loved ships…Julia and I go way back…until…” She looks down and sighs, “Y-You know what happened…”
Kika continues to wipe the same spot with her hand, “I didn’t know Ray for long…but even as debris he was still a damn beautiful ship…”
-
Apollo looked even more suspiciously at Kika.
“Why are you rubbing that same spot?”
-
Kika blinks a few times and stops her hands, looking at Apollo, “Force of habit…”
She looks back at the ship and smiles, “He doesn’t understand, Annie…” She whispers, winking at the spot she was rubbing earlier.
-
Apollo suspects sabotage, but decides to trust Kika for now and not check the spot.
-
<i>Rose decided to leave the car/machine addicts to their stuff and left a while ago to her room, humming an old tune from some</i> old<i> song. </i>”You are my sunshine, my only sunshine~” She hummed.
-
Apollo decided to leave the machine and go back to the gym.
[Do I begin laps by counting 1 every 10 circulations or..?]
“There. Anyone who opens the gym door will probably get either thrown through the Apollo sized holes in the wall and I got bad news for most of you because you won’t fit, in terms of sideways! Good luck!”
Apollo instantly began circling the gym again and again, counting 1 every 10 circulations.
[59…60…61…62…]

Some time later…
Odysseus wakes up to the sound of blaring alarms, as the entire complex starts to shake. “What in the crow’s nest…? Apollo?! What did you do?!” <i>The base begins to shake again, as the alarms begin to flash silently. Odysseus looks at a monitor, showing the surface, and sees a massive, smoking crater on the viewport. Odysseus takes an elevator up, and steps into the burnt crater. At the center is a perfectly spherical object, with a small slot on the side, a small digital screen, and a keypad. </i>”What are you?” <i>Rolling it over, Odysseus sees written on the back ‘Deliver to the Keepers. Good luck. This is where things get tricky.’ Odysseus begins scanning the crater. </i>”I havent seen these readings in years… A quantum fluctuation?!”

Geralt finally wakes up hours after the team was teleported to their current location. He comes to, dazed and confused. He looks around and finds himself on the floor of an old run-down lab. I must be dreaming. I don’t remember sleeping here, and even if I did, I don’t think my team would just leave me here on the floor like this. Once he got up, he took n more of his surroundings and found many empty bottles of alcohol scattered all over the place and Jack-sized dents in cabinets. Nope, they left me on the floor. Great. Team? Guys, where are you? Geralt hears a commotion down a long hallway, it almost sounds like wind. Geralt walks down the hallway, finding many roroms, some of which having hints at writing long faded away. Vey few had what seemed like new writing. On closer inspection of the writing he found the names of his comrades. Is this our new HQ? Geralt continued his walk down the hallway until he reached the room with the sound of wind. He could hear counting through the wind, and it sounded like Apollo. If he is in hear doing something to cause this, I think it’d be better for me to not enter. Since everyone else has picked rooms, I might as well find one. Geralt walked back down the hallway, looking into empty rooms as he did. In some he found only ruin, in some were the personal belongings of members of The Keepers long-gone. In a few he found dried blood stains. About halfway down the hallway he found a room with wood flooring and a shag carpet with. Whoever had this room had really good taste. I think I’ll claim this one. He walked back out of the room to write his name on the panel and saw Rose coming down the hallway humming something. Geralt inscribed his name on the panel and then threw his weapons and munitions on the bed. He then walked back out to greet Rose. Hello there Rose. Do you happen to have any clue where we are? Or how we came to be here?

Odysseus picks up the sphere with his gloved hands and returns to the elevator tube, taking it down back to the hallway. He sees Geralt at the end of the hall, “good morning, sleepyhead.” Odysseus turns off the alarm systems manually. “Don’t worry, just a false alarm. It’s an old system.” Odysseus conceals the sphere in his coat. ‘Its best to keep this a secret for now. This will complicate things.’
-
Geralt looks to Odysseus, still surprised by the alarm. Ah, alright Ody. Anything happen while I was asleep, on the floor?
-
“Everyone but me got drunk. We have a ship. Alarm went off. Not much.”
-
Geralt looks disappointed now Aww man. Why didn’t anybody wake me?
