[IC] A Merc's Paradise

"Well... there's something I must ask of you. Could we perhaps head to a hospital that may be in the nearby sectors? I have 2 more shots for Belle to use against the virus... but it will eventually adapt to the drug. So, we need a doctor. And fast!" He told James.

[boomlover]

James was supprised that Hizi still had some antidote." Umm sure yeah will do as soon after this mission is done." He then quickly turned around to his data pad and typed. Dont nock her out !!

[thesupergamer64]

Huzuni sighs, and follows up with a thank you to the captain. He then headed to the lab, to try to make something that would kill the virus. After some time of research, he found out the actual name of the virus. It was called the "Neurax Worm". And from what he had seen, the symtomes we're the same as he had registered.

"Well... That's at least something that can help me. What can kill this damn thing? Nano-Suit, search for a way to cure this darn thing." "SEARCHING..." The suit stated. "SEARCH RESULTS FOUND: 0. NO ONLINE ARTICLES DETECTED."

Huzuni punched the table in frustration, since he has been dedicaded to save his friend for this whole time. "I can't make a cure with only these materials. I don't know how much time we can buy her... Dammit!" He said, pretty angry about what was going to possibly happen at some point. "Screw it. I'll try some other methods if I need to. For now, I'll try to harden this darn thing" He then started to work on a upgrade to the drug that he had made.

Ramia glanced at her datapad and rolled her eye for both Belle's comment and James' message. Try to decide already... "Well that's all fine and good, but I'm going to claim that my skills on the battlefield outshine my skills in bed." She giggled and continued working very cautiously. "I wish we could find some lenses for the beam cannon... and a calibrator that isn't fried... Oh, I almost forgot that we'd also need the... damnit... what's that thing.... uh... you know, power couplings... because those are fried too... I'd also love to find a beam sword - though getting that to work with a Mark IV would require some nifty refurbishing... like fixing the left arm in such a manner that the MG and the saber could be used at the same time..."

"Yes, I guess that would be quite nice." Belle says, putting a hand to her forehead. It was starting to become slightly warmer, perhaps she was just getting a headache from all that was happening. Unfortunately it wasn't just a headache. The virus was taking over again, slowly, and it had made her forget she even had the virus in the first place, and had her forget she had the temporary cure in a pouch in her pocket. Belle continued to work thinking the increasing pain was simply the headache. "Honey, do you mind if I take a break? I think I'm having a tad bit of a headache." She says, turning off her welding torch and putting a hand to her forehead.

[thesupergamer64]

"WARNING: IMMUNITY ENDED. PROCEED TO CHECK ON HOST." The suit reminded Huzuni of the fact that the time of immunity had ended. "Oh jeez... I know what going to happen. I came prepared this time arround, so did she. I hope I won't need to do what I think I need to do." He tought to himself.

He went outside of the lab and to the bridge. "Hey girls, feeling alright or... is there something going on?" He asked them, hopping everything was OK.

[Marcus XVI]

Either she is just having a little headache or the virus is starting to take effect. "Sure, take a break." Ramia stated warmly and continued working on the thrusters. When Huzuni approached she rolled her eye. "You'll have to ask Belle about that.

[kiya]

"Sure Captain Crunch.." She sighed, it seemed that the bird was somehow important but the have decided not to dyvalged why it is so.

She walked with a quickened pace looking at her hand drawn map of the ship to the room where she would find Belle, she knocked on the door with a couple of light taps. "I believe this is yours?" She handed Penny with an out stretched hand.

[datadogie]

Belle took a seat against a leg of the Guardian, sighing. She couldn't think, her head was feeling quite sore, she hoped there was some medicine or something she could take. As she rose up, ready to retreat to her room for some rest, Huzuni approached and asked if they were okay. "Well, you could at least speak for yourself, sweetheart. Everything doesn't need to be about me." She gives a wink, before looking at Huzuni. "No, I have a small headache. I'm going to rest in my room, Ramia said that it's okay to take a break." She offers a pained smile at Ramia, before turning and walking away, holding her head. Why does it feel so sore? She wonders to herself, closing her door and taking a seat at her computer. Normally, someone with a headache would lay down and relax, however for some reason she felt at ease at her computer. "Oh, right, that's right. I've got to do maintenance on the engines soon." She says, entering the systems of the ship in a way that she believed was legit, however really, the virus convinced her it was that way. Engine one... Offline. pops up on her screen.

[boomlover]

James was just about to come into phisical range when suddenly one of the engine's" BELLE!!!!!Grrr evi be a dear and shut her out again." He then contacted Huzuni." Could you be a dear and give hear the antidote. Oh and if that doesnt work just Nock her our." He then contacted Ramia." Well your girlfriend went
Crazy again. Wish i could help but im trying not to crash this ship in a rock."

[Marcus XVI]

You have to be kidding me... Ramia let out an annoyed little growl. She stopped working and activated her comm. "Gee, thanks for the heads up, McLoyed." Her voice was a bit strained and it was obvious that the situation annoyed her beyond words. "Why the hell can't someone do anything about that damn virus?" The dark haired woman bit her lower lip with enough force to draw blood. I need to calm down... I need to get this Flight Suit back in operational state... The others can handle it. "I trust you'll take the needed measures to assure that we'll live through this? Just remember, if Belle is harmed more than necessary you'll have me to contend with." With those words Ramia again cut off the output from her comm and continued working on the Guardian.

[boomlover]

" DONT YOU HANG--." But before he could finish his sentence she hang up on him." Alrighit plan b. Evi hack into her console and make sure it is useless to her." He then contacted Huzuni." Hizi hurry up Please.

[thesupergamer64]

"Uhmph, you're all in a hurry I see... Don't worry. I've gave her some medicine she can take. Then again, the virus can just destro- Oh for hell's sake! Alright, let's do something before this get's of hand." He then headed to her room and awaited for James to come with him as well.

[Marcus XVI]

With our luck we could be attacked by anyone at any moment... I'm not going to risk that... My own survival goes above everything else, even Belle. Ramia thought to herself while working on the thrusters. She was getting more and more tense due to the lack of sleep and constant pain from her bionics, but the dark haired woman did her best to fight through her tiredness. What if they hurt her? Those damned brutes... wouldn't be surprising... I should just go and... NO! I have to finish this. I have to get the Guardian back to full operational capacity and I'm going to fix these thrusters! She rolled her eye and yawned - the hour or so of sleep after the little fight had not helped very much.

Damnit... if I had any stims to dull the pain I could get a respectable amount of sleep and also I could concentrate better... Ramia ran the fingers of her right hand through her hair and shook her head slightly. Adel could keep me focused... He had that nice habit... She smiled faintly and closed her eyes while straightening up to get the feel back to her legs. He was the only person I really love... well... now there is Belle, but... The unwanted trip down memory lane made the Halcyon General more than slightly agitated. After a while of pacing around she seated herself on top of a cargo crate and held her head with both hands. Damnit, Adel... Why did you have to be the hero? We were supposed to make Xian a better place and settle down... "...Why did you have to be the hero, Adel?" She asked silently.

"You picked a bad ship." A male A.I voice spoke from within Scarlet's satchel bag that was hung over her shoulder. "Seems so." She sighed, the crew of the ship were bustling about as if they found themselves more threatening than any aggressor out there, her eyes glanced through a ship window and looked out to the stars and the vast darkness of space. "What in the hell is wrong with these people." She slammed her hand hard against the window then leaned her head softly against it.

She thought of the person that went missing from the ship and wondered if perhaps he wanted to escape from this madness. "Artyem. That was his name, wasn't it?" She whispered to herself. "Who is that?" A.I answered her question without knowing it was rhetorical. "After we left The Rock, their was a crew member of this ship go missing, I wonder if this is why? the madness that consumes these people.. One minute it's love next it's madness." She huffed and just stared out of the window wondering if there was a possible way to contact that Artyem fellow.

[datadogie]

As her console was rendered useless, Belle crossed her eyebrows, confused. How could this have happened? She sits, thinking for a moment. Have I done something wrong? She wonders. A moment later, and she couldn't think of any reasons. The captain had asked her to fix the engines... Yes, that was what happened. So, she came along, disabled one, and suddenly this. Belle shrugs, and stands up. She'd just have to turn them off directly from the engine room computer. Opening the door, she saw that Huzuni was standing there. "Oh, hi. Did you come to me for help with your terminal? Because my one just turned off, and I don't know why. I need to fix the engines, though, as per the captain's orders." Belle says, attempting to walk past Huzuni in a casual mood. To her, this was all normal, however the virus made it different.

[thesupergamer64]

The man saw Belle come out of her room, and this time, he didn't take an offensive aproach. He stood in front of her, blocking her way to the engine room. He put a quite worried tone of voice up and said. "Belle, the virus is back on. If you would be a nice girl and use this, I'll be very happy. Now don't do anything stupid." Huzuni told her, as he pulled out a pill and offered it to her. "Take it, it's way better than a syringe to the neck so..." He hoped that she'd take it, and fight the darn thing that was in her brain. Just waiting for the opportunity to destroy the ship that the whole crew was standing on.

[datadogie]

Belle cocked her head. The headache grew stronger, buzzing coming along with it. "Woah, I think I have an allergic reaction or something to that stuff. My head's getting all weird about it." She looks into his eyes with eyes of her own that were filled with confusion. "Virus, you say? What virus is on? A virus in the engine? Is that what I'm supposed to fix? I think that's what the captain said..."

[thesupergamer64]

"Oh I see..." He said with a angered tone. I hope this works. If not, I'll have to do something I've never tought I'd do.

He puts the pill onto a slot on the arm's suit, and placed his hand arround her neck, carefully, to not harm her. The suit starts emiting wavelenghs arround that area. An infrasound was being played, aconpanied with the power of the pill. It was clensing the virus to stop, since it could not bear this much power of infrasound.

Altough, one thing was that concerned Huzuni: If Belle could also resist to this much force. Since he didn't know, he used a drug with his other hand to not be able to feel anything for a short amount of time. He could only hope this would work, otherwise... other methods would need to be taken, some that he couldn't bear to use on such a person.

[datadogie]

As soon as the arm is put around her neck, the virus panics and forces control into her and begins to try and wrestle out of Huzuni's grasp. Shrieking in horror, she launches a punch straight to Huzuni's face, just before she is caught by the drug and the infrasound. Screaming for it to stop, she falls onto the ground and curls into the fetal position. "Let it stop, let it stop! Make it stop!" She cries, remaining in fetal position with her hands on her head.
