[IC] A Merc's Paradise

[datadogie]

Belle lowers her eyes sadly. She begins to move her hand to her arm, but recoils slightly as a dizziness effect washes onto her, feeling a buzzing in her head, too. "F-For you... Fine." She murmers, pulling up her sleeve slightly. As she does, the buzzing intensifies causing her to groan slightly, as if forcing pain upon her to make her do it's bidding, which was not showing the injection area. "Ugh, my head, something is telling me not to..." As she pulls it up a little more, the pain becomes unbearable, and she tugs it back down quickly, grabbing her head and screaming in pain. "I-I can't, oh god, I can't! It won't let me! I can't! My head!" Belle grabs onto Ramia, tears welling in her eyes as she quivers in pain.

[Marcus XVI]

Damnit... "Ok, Belle, it's ok... hush now, it's ok." Ramia let go of the coat, allowing it to drop on the floor. "It's ok." She wrapped her arms very gently around Belle at first and hummed what sounded like a lullaby. "Everything will be just fine." I'm going to apologize later... She continued humming the lullaby, pulled Belle closer to herself and quickly glanced at Huzuni - as if telling him to get on with the scan immediately when she'd move. "It's all right... Don't fret, don't fret."

The fingers of her bionic arm gripped tightly around Belle's wrist of the hand that had been injected and twisted it to the side surprisingly painlessly. The hold on the wrist was firm and strong. Your move, Samurai Kid.

[datadogie]

Belle began to sigh out, leaning closer to Ramia. The pain was starting to subside now that she trusted that her arm wasn't going to get looked to, and Ramia's calm, sweet words began to calm her down...
Until suddenly, her arm was twisted to the side. Belle's eyes widened, and she wrestled to try and get free of Ramia's grasp. The buzzing began again, pushing her further to try and get free, however it came of no aid to get her out of Ramia's surprisingly strong grasp. "No, no!" She screams out, the pain intensifying. "It hurts so bad! Let me go! Ramia! Bitch!" Belle shouts, now resorting to hitting Ramia's chest with her free arm. "Let me go! Let me go!" She cries out, her voice pained and sounding terrified.

[Marcus XVI]

I'm sorry... Ramia shook her head ever so slightly and tightened the grip of her bionic arm. When she managed to speak again her tone was very much icy cold, but still calm and surprisingly gentle. "Stop struggling or I'll break your arm. I'm doing this for your own good." For hell's sake Huzuni, do your thing before I have to take any more drastic measures. She maintained the eye contact, her bionic eye was now exactly the same cold color as her normal eye. "Don't struggle." I'm sorry...

[datadogie]

Belle cries, trying so hard not to struggle or beat Ramia. The buzzing scared her, the fact she had something happen to her and she couldn't remember what it was scared her, the thought that if she struggled any more, Ramia would have to break her arm scared her. Ramia... The woman trying to help me, the woman who cares about me. The pain furthered, and she began to black out. Within a few moments, she slumped, going limp and passing out from the pain that she felt.

[thesupergamer64]

Huzuni, with what was going on, quicly made one of his right arm's finger into a seringe, that was carefully made from his suit, while he was anilizing what was going on. He made a quick move to inject the fluid onto her arm, and suceded.

"Come on, please work..." He beged, as the liquid was disapearing from the seringe, into Belle's vains.

"This should stop the pain temporarelly, if not, I'll have to do something else." He said to Ramia. And then, Belle woke up, with a confused look on her face, as if she had forgot what just happened.

[Marcus XVI]

Ramia held Belle up slightly more gently now while glancing at Huzuni. "Run a scan." It was not a statement or a suggestion, it was a direct order. "I want to know exactly what's wrong with her." Though her voice still hadn't risen the color of her bionic eye had turned closer to red than orange. "Preferably immediately."

[thesupergamer64]

"Got it" He stated, preparing his suit for scanning. "SCANNING..." The suit said. Then 3 "beeps" occured.

"VIRUS FOUND: NAME: ???; TYPE: BRAIN SCUTLER ; ACTION: CONTROLS THE HOST'S BRAIN IN THE WAY THAT THE VIRUS PLEASES, POTENTIALLY MAKING THEM SUICIDE, HIGHLY LETHAL. TAKES 12 HOURS TO TAKE FULL AFFECT. SIDE-EFFECTS: PAIN ON THE HEAD, EMOTIONALY UNCONTROLABLE STATE, SEVERE ISOLATION." The suit exclaimed, giving away full detail about what was making Belle so weird during that time.

"This should have destroyed the virus... or at least disabled it so we can have some more time." Huzuni told Ramia.

[datadogie]

Belle blinked, feeling slightly confused as she woke up. The pain had stopped, however she was in the grasp of someone who, while trying to help her, had threatened her. Eyes welling up with tears, she raises her hand, and gave Ramia a slap across the face. Hard. Pushing away, she walked (quivering) to her room. She remembered the pain she had felt, caused because of her holding. Whatever was in her head didn't want them to look at the injection, and though they had known that, they still caused her massive pain.

[Marcus XVI]

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... Ramia stared after Belle and closed her eyes. "I suggest you find a way to either remove the virus or at the very least make it completely harmless." There was not even a small hint of her statement being in any way a 'suggestion', it was still a direct order. The dark haired woman shook her head, opened her eyes and headed towards the storage area where the Guardian was kept.

I only tried to help her... I did my best... Ramia leaned her head against the cold metal that composed the Guardian's leg. "Damnit..." She mumbled to herself and again closed her eyes. "Damnit.." She slumped down to the floor with her back against the metal of the Flight Suit. Few tears found their way from the side of her right eye to her cheek. The fingers of her bionic arm clinched to a fist and slammed against the floor. "...I'm sorry."

[thesupergamer64]

"Hey... it's not your fault... I am the one who should have been here, not at that stupid bar, I should have reacted sooner, I take responsibility. You had the best intentions, but some things don't go out as planned, you need to move on, and forget. At least that's how I lived for seven years alone, without anyone by my side..." Huzuni said, trying to confort Ramia before something worse could potentially happen.

"I'll see if I can do something about that virus. For now, just calm down, and relax. Maybe go for a walk arround the ship and meditate, talk to someone, hell, just go to sleep or something. As long as nothing bad happens..." The samurai stated, this time with an increased tone of voice.

"Also, you're not in charge of anything. I did that cause we both care for our crew, not because I needed to. I've allways looked after myself after I was betrayed by my own people." He told the dark haired woman, before leaving and going to the medical lab of the ship.

Belle walked into her room, and upon seeing the still unnamed robot, she picks it up and places it outside of her room. As she placed it down and straightened herself, she spots Penny flapping her way over to Belle's room. Before she could reach it, however, Belle simply reached to the side and tapped on the keypad, closing the door and locking it, suddenly hearing a crshh sound as Penny slammed into the now closed door, unable to slow down in time. Now alone in her room, she sat down beside the door. Drawing her sidearm, she stares at it, bangs her fist against the floor and shoots a large electronic motherboard that she had been working on. Crying loudly, she unloaded the rest of the clip from the magazine straight into the motherboard. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, and then finally, click. She tossed the gun at the motherboard, before curling up and crying into her knees.

Scarlet stood and watched as if she was back at home in a world repaired from this chaos watching a soap opera, however she felt like a loose end, she's merely a loose end here, a stow away waiting for her next stop. "This was our best option to get off of the rock." She whispered to the metallic orb that was prodding her in the side from within her bag. "Yeah, yeah. We didn't get off to a good start. I know." She sighed and stood with her coat still hung over her left arm and her equipment held in her right.

She sat down on the cold floor of a corridor feeling slightly alone, even if the ship was bustling with so much action.

[boomlover]

" what was that." He Said as he heard the gunfire of Belle,s gun. He turnes the music down and went to Belle,s room. " Hey Belle are you alright?" Opening the door wouldnt be a good idea so he just sat his back against the wall and waited for a response.

[datadogie]

Belle remained crying, but when she heard the voice of James, she stood up. "Go away!" She screams at the door, before kicking it, tears rolling down her face. "Go away! Leave me be! I don't want anyone near me! Anyone!" Belle picks up a piece of metal on the floor from her earlier project, and hurls it at the door, crying. She sits down at the computer in her room, and begins to tab into the ship's systems, writing code to bypass security. She begins tabbing into the engines, and she dumbly stares at the commands that could be done. "No, no, I can't," She whimpers, pushing away from the computer. "No, no, shit, fuck, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" A dull buzzing had started. Nothing near painful because of the meds, however she was terrified of it. She sat back at the desk, and stared at the screen. She could either sit here forever, and be okay, move away and be in pain, or do whatever the conscience wanted with the engines, and be free. For now. Beginning to cry even more, she clicks one one of the engine links, and lowers the power, turning it off. "No, I can't! I can't! I can't!" She screams, moving her hands away from the panel and grabbing her head.

[boomlover]

" HIZI GET OVER HER WE NEED TO CUT OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE SHE BLOWS UP THE SHIP." He was panicking that hasnt happend in a long time." EVI HACK HERE COMPUTERS SYSTEMS SHUT EVERYTHING IPDOWN IN THAT ROOM EXPECT LIFE SUPPORT." RAMIA GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AS WELL WE NEED SOME BACK UP GODDAMIT." He then started talking to Belle.
" Belle come on man this aint you listen to my voice." But from the sounds of it it was getting even worse." DAMMIT GUYS GET THE FUCK OVER HERE NOW." He then heard Evi. "Sir i have disabeld her systems she cant do anyhting."

[thesupergamer64]

Huzuni, now at the medical lab, was almost finished on researching the virus. He gave it the name of "Concincys Crolatus", since it was made by someone with the power to make such a thing. The suit now, with some updated information, re-stated.

"CATEGORY:VIRUS ; NAME: CONCINCYS CROLATOS; TYPE: BRAIN SCUTLER ; ACTION: CONTROLS THE HOST'S BRAIN IN THE WAY THAT THE VIRUS PLEASES, HIGHLY LETHAL. TAKES 12 HOURS TO TAKE FULL AFFECT. EFFECTS: PAIN ON THE HEAD, EMOTIONALY UNCONTROLABLE STATE, SEVERE ISOLATION. POTENTIAL DEATH AT RANDOM MOMENT DUE TO THE VIRUS MESSING WITH THE HOST'S BRAIN. IF THE HOST DECIDES TO CONTRADICT THE VIRUS, IT'LL MAKE A SEVERE PAIN ON IT'S HEAD/BRAIN. CAN CHANGE THE MEMORY OF THE HOST, AND OTHER THINGS ALONG SUCH LINES."

"Oh no... this is worse than i tought..." Huzuni tought to himself, and the he heard gun shots. Comming from Belle's room, as well as the engine turning of. "Oh, I see... the virus took full affect of my seringe dose, making it... stronger? No... It can't be, right? Well, since we can't move, I'll try to make a new solution to this."

And so he did, he spent hours upon hours, without sleeping, to get the cure. But yet, even with the potential "cure" at hand, how could he be sure that it'll kill the virus? It takes advantage of the immune sistem, or any sistem on the host for that matter, so, the only way of removing it, was surgery.

Huzuni came outside the lab and told everyone to meet up on the bridge, since Belle woudn't come, he didn't really bother on asking her to come, and told everyone what he had discovered. And the fact that the only way to remove it, was surgery, something no one on the ship had ever done.

[kiya]

"What on earth is going on." Scarlet exclaimed to herself and stood to her feet, briefly sorting her skirt and kicking her gear to the side to not be a tripping hazard. Walking down through the ship she followed the voices that sounded as if in hysteria. She turned a corner and saw the chaos unfolding, to her limited information it looked as though a girl had locked herself inside her room like an adolescent teenager and all the boys were fighting to get her out. "What's she doing?" Scarlet asked James with a slightly puzzled expression.

[Marcus XVI]

Ramia managed to calm herself down reasonably quick and began working on the Guardian's thrusters. She wasn't much of a technician, but she knew the basics and knew the workings of the Flight Suit inside and out. While working the dark haired woman drowned out all outside sounds, thoughts and other such - mostly because she didn't want to make even the smallest mistake. Huzuni can go to hell for all I care... I hate being and equal with people... apart from maybe Belle... Though... She really isn't, is she?

Ramia stopped working and closed her eyes for a moment. What if I'm below them? Would that be a fitting punishment for my failures? Would that soothe the horrible sense of humor of some divine being? She lowered herself down from the thrusters and stared at the wall. Will I be forgotten like these nobodies? Will I just be a minor side note on the pages of history? No, Ramia Zeon will NOT be forgotten. Ramia gritted her teeth and shook her head, trying to push those kinds of thoughts away as she paced around the storage space. If I had been smarter and more ruthless I wouldn't be in this predicament... I would still be the First Lady of Xian... I would still have control over SOMETHING... She paused to punch the wall with her bionic arm and let out a rather annoyed groan. I should just go and talk to Belle... If she forgives me she might listen to me...

The dark haired woman felt half naked without the trench coat of hers, but she wasn't in a state of mind to go and pick it up. She had even discarded the gray jacket of hers and was now wearing just a black tank top. If someone was to see her now they'd be privy to the full glory of the very shoddy work done on the bionic arm of hers. Ramia was brought back to the waking world from her thoughts by James calling the crew. What can I do? Why should I be there? ...Why should I care? She pushed the thought aside and with some reluctance made her way to James' location. "Ok, McLoyed, you can calm down." The look in the Halcyon General's eye made it obvious that she was in full planning mode. Just shut the life support for a minute, that should knock her out without doing too much damage to her brains... I do like the brains though... Would hate to waste them... Besides she might get seriously hurt from a stunt like that... So that's out of the picture for now...

She touched the burt side of her face with the fingers of her right arm. "What do you want me to do?" Ramia asked with a calm tone. "I can't get through a door like that..." Besides Belle would probably act violently if I approach her so... Not much help there McLoyed... "You are the boss here, give an order and I'll follow."

[boomlover]

" EVI Will she be secure in there?" The blue glow of EVI APPEARED."Atleast she is unable to interfear with the ship itself i cant however say anything about how she Will react to this." James did not know what to do. Until he heard hizi telling them to meet up at the brige. James stood up and was just about to go their when he walked into Scarlett who also had no idea what was going on." I have bo idea she just lost it as far as i know." He then walked to the brige telling Scarlet to follow . But when they where about to Enter the
Brige James realized that Scarlett did not have a comm yet. So he turned around and Said." Here this way we Will be able to communicate better." He then went inside the bridge and waited for the rest to show.
