------------------------------------------

Medical Bay <Hunter HQ>
This room is kept immaculately clean and organized, from the polished tile floor to the bright exam lights and walls painted with soothing colors. Several repair and medical beds for robot and human patients line the walls, monitors above them indicating the status of the patient's vital signs. There are no windows here, as this is in the center of the floor and heavily reinforced against possible attack. It is here that the Maverick Hunter medics patch up the wounded.

Dischord is still there, on her med bed, not yet reactivated.

Twila Peterson enters the medical center. She's not actually "on-duty". But, well...she visited one patient (although at a different hospital) once today. Might...as well check on the present status of two others. She glances over at Zero and then looks over his vitals that continue monitoring his progress. He'll still...have a way to go it seems. The girl frowns but, it could be much worse. She lingers there for a moment before moving on to the nearby medbed...noting, as far as first glances go, this patient appears well tended to and seems to be merely resting at the moment. Her eyes snap to the monitors recording this reploid's progress as well. Well...all *seems* to be in order. She notes, however, the reploid has yet to be re-awakened. Taking in one of the connections made to her, Twila eases over the console of the terminal, typing in a few commands...which should gently correct that oversight.
Twila Peterson then turns to watch Dischord's slumbering form while keeping one hand near the console...just in case some adjustment needs to be made.

Dischord's eyes snap open almost instantly, before she starts looking around, just trying to figure out where she is, and how she got there, "What the......"

Twila Peterson darts another look at the monitors before moving closer towards the reloid's bedside. "Easy, Dischord. You're back in medbay," she says, picking up on some sudden alarm. "Your injuries were tended to last night. How are you feeling?"

Dischord groans slightly as she slowly tries to sit up, leaning forard as she does, rubbing her temples, "I feel alive, Doc. Like General is doing a tap dance inside my head.. But considering that I've been worse, I'll live with it."

Twila nods to herself. Feeling satisfied that her condition is within the clear the girl disconnects some of the remaining devices that had been present to keep abreast of Dischord's status. "That's...something. What...exactly happened?"

Dischord winces, still rubbing her head, "Don't remember all of it. Some guy, Shrikle I think intercepted stuff about the Wench and Zero going at it near NYC. Since I was in NYC, I went, saw Bass shoot Zero, and......"

"I lost control...."

Twila Peterson tilts her head to the side as some concern falls upon her features. "Lost control?" She already knows that Zero and Dischord are close friends. Seeing one downed would certainly provoke some sort of emotional reaction. She's...not certain that's what she means. Although it could well be. "How do you mean?"

"I don't know....." Dischord says, before pausing a moment. "I saw Zero get shot, I thought... I thought....... he....*Sniffle* I thought he was dead."

"You probably reacted in a way most others would have reacted had they seen someone they care about almost killed." Twila gestures sympathetically towards the downed berserker and where he's laying on his own bed. "He'll be recovering for a little while. But, he's going to be alright," she attempts to reassure her.

Dischord nods slightly, closing her optics, before she says in a cold, harsh voice, "He'd better be, or so help me nothing, and i mean /NOTHING/ will stop my from destroying both that wench, and Fish Boy."

.oO(Take a number...)0o. Twila muses. Both Requiem and Bass have caused their own share of disarray, to put it lightly. As of late, those two appear to be on the 'most wanted' list. Ironically, Requiem seems to be beating out Bass for the time being. "I know I speak for the others staffers here we'll make sure of it," she states after a hesitant pause, not knowing what really to say to that. "You needing anything at the moment, Dischord?"

Dischord starts to slowly get up, not even taking a chance to see if she can fly, when she stops, musing over Twila's question. "A vat of beer, The Wenches head tossed into the sun, a new place to stay, and an honest lawyer would be nice."

Twila Peterson perks an eyebrow as she moves to place herself in a position should Dischord have need of aid, although she already senses unless absolutely necessary, the reploid would probably refuse it. But that doesn't mean the offer would remain standing none-the-less. "Afraid 3 of the 4 I would be unable to help you with. Although....I couldn't see why you wouldn't be able to gain some quarters here...unless you wished to move elsewhere..." .oO(A vat of beer? I'm not even of age yet!)Oo.
As for Requiem's head...and an honest lawyer...erm...impossible isn't it?

Dischord just snarls slightly at the thought of having to stay here, as her anti-gravs kick in and she starts to hover, "No way. No how. NO! Not as long as that /person/ who claims to be my mother and that freak clone of mine are running around here!"

Oh, that. Erm...yeah. Twila offer a blink as she studies her. "But...where would you go?"

"Anywhere, and nowhere! Odds are I could go talk to someone that feels like she owes me in London. With her bar, she might know something. Or I could go see if my old place still exists, even if I haven't been there since......."
Dischord drifts of slightly, leaving the sentence unfinished.

Twila Peterson flicks a glance towards the resting Zero before resettling it back on the newly awakened mech. "Old...place...?"

Dischord nods slightly, visibly a little spooked at the thought of going back there, again. "Yeah, lets just say that it's someplace where I'd be safe. It's just a little bit of a pain at times though."

Twila can already surmise the subject is not one the other is comfortable with speaking about. "Certain places I suppose would be." Although maybe not the places themselves, but the memories they conjour. But since she already is aware some memories the reploid is unable to recall... "It...would be better if you stayed here a day or so more to allow some of your systems to play catchup with your repairs," she advises softly.

Dischord starts to float upwards, drifting away from Twila, "Oh no. There is no way that I'm getting stuck in here /AGAIN/. I have to much that has to be done. Besides Doc, I've been up around, and fighting worse off than this."

Twila Peterson personally wouldn't doubt it. But that doesn't mean she's going to hide her concern either. She knows that she cannot really pressure this one to do when she already stated otherwise. "I've gathered. Just...remember that you have a friend or several here...alright?"

Dischord just hovers there over the Med Bed, and nods slowly, "Fine. Whatever you say Doc." She shoots a glance over at Zero, "Of course after the other night, I could say he deserved this...."

Twila Peterson glances over her shoulder briefly. "Something akin to sibling rivalry?" To her...certainly sounds it.

Dischord snickers slightly, refraining from saying what she thinks it is. "Lets just say that after we had a few drinks there was a small argument a few nights ago."

Rhapsody blinks into the room, a few feet off the ground, and hovers in place, looking around uncertainly. She arrives just in time to hear Twila's comment about 'sibling rivalry', and frowns, pausing a moment instead of doing whatever it was she was going to do..

Twila Peterson refrains from rolling her eyes at the remark and instead just remains standing there. "I'll...just take your word for it..." she states, not bothering to ask what the argument was about or what it concerned. Not any of her business anyway. But sheesh, these reploids are a bit more rough and tumble at times.

Dischord grumbles slightly, and slowly starts to turn and look towards the door.

Twila Peterson turns as well, almost mimicking Dischord's movement...and then taking notice of a newcomer hovering there, watching. She remembers the first meeting of these two...or at least the meeting that took place within the research labs, and sighs to herself. Shouldn't these two be kept seperated or...something. "Oh...hello..."

Rhapsody blinks, and nods back to Twila, offering a slight, awkward smile. "Uh... hi." She doesn't -seem- like she's out to cause trouble, but her smile straightens out as soon as her eyes shift to Dischord, her mouth tightening slightly, before she manages to force a fake grin and ask (in tones that indicate that she'd much rather be elsewhere), "So.. what's going on, sister?" Quire *did* say to be civil, after all...

Dischord growls slightly, every muscle in her bdy tensing at the sight of Rhaps, while she makes a fist with ehr left hand, "What do you want, freak clone?"

Twila Peterson feels her shoulder's slump. Too bad one of the CoC isn't around or up and about to play referee. The girl raises a hand halfway in feeble attempts to stop something...before it starts. "Dischord, this is a medical center. Don't start something here."

Dischord chuckles slightly at twila and grins, "Oh I won't start something. I'll end it."

The forced smile on Rhapsody's face slips a little, as her eyes narrow. Actually, it looks more like she's gritting her teeth now instead of smiling, but she's still trying to keep a friendly demeanor, despite the gems on her right wrist suddenly glinting in sequence for a split second, before she relaxes. "Well... I was just wondering if there was anything that I could do (to) for you... we don't spend enough time together (according to Quire, anyways). So, I just came to check up on you."

Twila Peterson is kinda busy on keeping an eye on WW3 that looks like it's gonna erupt. But will wake ya if either someone asks or a monitor states it's urgent I do so ;)

Dischord hrms slightly at Rhaps, before chukling slightly, and nodding, "I see, 'Sis'. I was just going to leave though. I was thinking about going for a drink..."

Twila Peterson flicks a glance towards Dischord and then to Rhapsady, letting out a grunt, keeping a wary eye on the two...hoping things settle

Rhapsody smiles brightly, looking much happier. "Well, I guess you want to be alone, so I'll just head off and find something else to do. It was nice talking to you, though, and maybe we can hang out some other time." . o O (Yeah, right.) "Anyways, see you later, and I'll tell Quire you said hi." She starts edging backwards toward the doorway, which looks really funny in mid-air, figuring that she's off scot-free. After all, she was being nice, so Quire shouldn't have anything to complain about.

Dischord grins at Rhaps and shakes her head, a strange glint in her eye, "Oh but 'Sis' I was hoping that you and the Doc here would be able to join me...."

Twila Peterson idly wonders Dischord is referring to...but doesn't have to wonder too terribly long. "Thanks, Dischord. But..." *cough* "I'm...still underage actually." And with that, she starts moving over towards Zero's bad and glances towards the monitors. Oh, hey...look! Seems as if he's ready to wake up...or something! Grateful that she may have found a distraction away from the two...she makes certain the field over Zero is still on as per one of the orders by Cossack, and plays with the dials on one of the neighboring consoles...which would gently waken the berserker. Although, since Zero is under a field, she doubts the wakening will be anything but.

Zero's body twitches for a moment, as he lets out a small groan, and for a moment, one might think he was just gonna wake up, but within moments, his eyes jolt open and flare bright red as he jolts up to a sitting position and tries to leap off the bed, hitting the field and being knocked back to the table. He lets out a feral growl as he twitches a bit, "Hrm hahahahah... where is she.... HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I'M NOT DONE WITH HER YET! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! Come on little brother, come on out, SHOW YOURSELF AND BRING THE LITTLE WENCH WITH YOU! WAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!" he screams as he fires a fist at the barrier sneering, "RELEASE ME! RELEASE ME RIGHT THIS DAMN MINUTE!"

Rhapsody stops in mid-retreat, freezing in place for a moment, and considers. Dischord actually more or less asked her to come along, and it all goes back to that damned 'quality time' order she got the other day, so she doesn't really have a choice. She sighs, and nods reluctantly, missing the gleam in Dischord's eye completely. "Sure, I guess..."

Zero would foam at the mouth if he was capable of it, as he sits on the table, kneeling as his eyes wash over, completely red, no pupil, no iris, just a pool of blood red filling the holes in his head. He stares out through the barrier at the inhabitants of the room and sneers, reaching for his sabre, "It's going to take more than some stupid bubble to keep me here..." he ignites it and slices not into the barrier, but into the table it self, cleaving it in half, and then kicks it aside, and digs his sabre into the floor, begining to cut into it, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! FOOLS!"

Dischord chuckles slightly at Rhaps . o O (This is almost to easy...) O o . But Zero grabs her attention the moment he wakes up, "ZERO!!!!" Freezing there after she shouts, Disch doesn't move, jher mind a complete mess, just from seeing Zero like this.

Magma Dragoon steps into the room slowly with his arms folded behind his back and suddenly hears Dischord's shout. "Please... this is a medical facility." he mutters lowly. He walks over towards Zero who's eyes appear to be open.

Twila Peterson jumps with a yelp, not really expecting Zero's small "Hello and good morning." She stumbles back within a medical tray and ends up spilling some of it's contents all over the floor. "Mental note...when their's a forcefield up...there's usually a reason..." she lets out a small gulp even as she regains her balance.

Zero just continues to dig away at the floor cackling, "It'll take more than a floor and a barrier to keep me from fulfilling my mission!!!" he snarls, as he twitches again, "WHERE IS HE! HE CAN'T HIDE FROM ME ANYMORE! MY EYES ARE OPEN NOW! WAH HA HA HA HA!"

Rhapsody just continues to float there in midair, watching Zero's little scene with wide eyes in a stunned silence.

Magma Dragoon walks calmly towards the containment field. "Hmm... what exactly is wrong with him?"

.oO(His eyes are also---. What are they anyway?)Oo. Twila glances over towards Dragoon and lets out a sigh. "Uh...I wasn't suppsoed to wake him up...was I?" Although her question may be drowned out by the beserker's manical laughter.

Magma Dragoon actually shrugs slowly, "I'm not sure m'lady.... not sure at all. Dischord.. can you answer what is going on?"
If you look closely...
On Zero's forehead gem...
A little white letter glows faintly...

Dischord blinks and finally shouts, "SHUT HIM OFF!!!"

Zero gives up on cutting and falls to his knees, grasping at the floor with his hands, trying to tear way at the cuts he made to pull the floor up, his body convulsing wildly as he continues to cackle madly. Electricity crackling around his helmet as he smiles wickedly, "Bass is a fool... such a fool... I shall do what he will never be able to..." he continues to pull on the floor, "I will not be the defective one! I WILL NOT BE THROWN AWAY AGAIN!"

Twila Peterson then answers, "He was repaired by Cossack after being blasted by Magna Bass last night. And---." At Dischord's shout she immediatly quiets. She would be able to temper the field in order to allow some sort of waves to penetrate and attempt to subdue the reploid. But Twila doesn't know enough in regards on how that would ultimately affect him within this state. She sucks in a breath to hurries to examine some of the controls. Maybe not fully shutting him down. But cause him to be somewhat lethargic? She's unsure how it would work. "Magna...his helmet..."

Rhapsody cringes slightly, rising up a few more inches in the air and backing towards the door, glancing around her at the other occupants of the room, and checking to see whether or not she should be as freaked out as she thinks she should be.

Magma Dragoon remains rather calm still. Visibly anyway. He watches Zero inside the containment field. "Yes... shut him down for the moment before he damages himself in his raging tantrum. Do any of you know how?" He looks over his shoulder and then back towards Zero.

Dischord slowly turns to look away from Zero, part of her unable to fully believe what she see's, as her eyes fall onto Rhaps. Almost as soon as she does that she stops, and slowly falls onto her knees, saying just above a whisper, "help him..."

Twila Peterson bites her lower lip. Deciding not to wait any longer she attempts to change the field's affects, if only to add some sort of tranquilizing effects on whatever neurological circuits are causing this type of reaction. "Something...must have happened at the battle last night..."

Zero looks up and snaps his gaze to stare at Rhapsody and sneers, "What was that woman? Shut me down? BWAHHAHAHAHA!" he twitches, "Throwing me away again, huh?" he stands up and stares at Rhapsody cackling, "NOTHING CAN STOP ME! NOTHING YOU HEAR ME?! THE WORLD WILL PAY FOR DOING THIS TO ME, YOU'LL ALL PAY FOR LETTING HIM DO THIS!"

Air Wraith strides into the room, looking around with that usual look of confidence on his face. Blinking slowly as there are actually people here for once, "Hey what's going on?" he looks over at Zero, looking all lost and confused. Rubbing the back of his helmet, "Whats with him?"

Twila Peterson questions from her station, not fully understanding what it is he's referring to. "Him do what? What do you think we did?"

Rhapsody covers her face with her hands and yells, "Hey, I'm not the one who said it!!" This is nuts, and it's about time she got out of here. She drops her hands, and is about to fly off in a panic when Disc manages to lock gazes with her. She blinks in surprise at her words, and frowns slightly. Her, help -that- guy? She glances back at Zero again, still on the verge of bolting, and tries to think up something...

Zero hunches over, grabbing his face with his hands, "What the hell is happening to me..." he says in a softer tone. His body heaving slowly. Until he convulses again, his back snapping him back up into a standing position as he holds his arms out, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP IT! STOP IT! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" his eyes glaze over as he falls down to his knees, "Just... let me live a normal life..." he twitches some more, as sparks fly from his helmet, as now the faint letter glows a bright white...
A bright white W.

Dischord just doesn't move, kneeling there on the ground, not showing anymore signs that she's paying much atention, even though she's probably paying more than anyone here.

Air Wraith just stands by the door, blinking at Zero some more, "Uh.. whoa, freaky. See what happens when I'm gone for a little while.. this place just faaaaaalls apart." he places his left hand on his waist, tapping his gunarm against his helmet. But then he realizes no one is paying attention to him, so he huffs and peers at Zero for taking away all his flavor.

Rhapsody mutters, and glances at Twila, asking her first direct question about this whole thing going on. "Uh... don't suppose there's any way to get that sword away from him, or deactivate it, or something?"

Zero tenses his fists as he sits on his knees, staring at the ground, "I must complete my mission..." he says softly. As suddenly his helmet sparks again, as he looks up at blank space, "Wha..." he sees Sigma there, cackling at him, even tho he isn't really there, "You're destined to destroy him, Zero, and then the world will be mine!" Zero screams out in defiance at what to the rest of you, is nothing at all, "NO! I... can't... I can't...." Suddenly he turns around again, and sees Wily, "You are my greatest creation! My rivalry with him is what gives me the will to go on! NOW GO! DESTROY HIM!" Zero grabs his face again, "STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Twila Peterson's features ashen as she wonders if this is the type of madness that Rock had told her that can, at times, fall on Zero. She suddenly wishes on of the Doctor's were here. But Cain is recovering from his own injuries. And she has no idea where either Light or Cossack ar at the moment. She continues to subtly alter the field around Zero...praying that ut may at least offer some benefit or helpful effect. It's then her attention is shifted towards Rhapsody. "I could try to deactivate it with the wavelengths of the field....but the wavelength may also harm Zero. And I won't risk that. The---" She stops as Zero continues his rage. "---field would have to be deactivated itself for someone to retrieve it."

Rhapsody glances back at Dischord, and sighs, looking back to Zero uncertainly. Her mouth tightens as her resolve strengthens, and she takes a long, slow breath. "I... I'll get it. Just let me know when you're about ready to drop it." She taps one of the gems on her wrist, and a flash of purple light envelops her, leaving her clad in shining armor when it fades out, her beam sword clenched in her hand. . o O (The things I do for family...)

Dr. Pavel Cossack valks in vith a steady gait. "Vellls hello! I trust you all are doing vell under my care."

Magma Dragoon takes a step back as he watches Zero flail around. "This isn't good... and when did he get that arcane symbol upon his forehead?" He notes the obvious.

Twila Peterson ulps, only half hearing the Doctor as he enters. "Um...think you might want to have a second look..." She then turns towards Rhapsody who stands not far from her. "Wait. Cossack may know how to work...this." Whether it's the fields controls or Zero's present state...she doesn't make all too clear.

Zero just sits there, face in his hands for a few moments, until he suddenly lashes out wildly with one of his arms, knocking part of the broken table against the barrier as he stands up, his eyes flaring again, "Enough." he says in a flat tone. "I can't let this go on..." he reignites his sabre and spins it around in his hand, pointing the blade at himself as he stares at it, his new sabre, his original one lost. He stands there for a moment, like a dishonored Samurai, "I've got to make the nightmare end..."

Dischord still doesn't move, frozen almost in fear, but almost as if there is something else, mixed with the fear, heightening it.

Dr. Pavel Cossack eyes. viden. "Vhat did you do!" he runs over to the controls looking at numbers and typing in some codes. Perspiration instantly wets his brow and long mane frizzles. "How long has he been like this?" he barks into the tense air. His finger wrecked with frenzy and nervousness."

Er...hold that thought and is about ready to drop that field now that his life is threatened. Twila let's out a small yelp as he takes the sword. "Zero, no! You're letting them win if you give in!"

Air Wraith can't seem to grasp what is happening, then blinks as Zero pulls out the sword. He takes a step forward and holds up his hand, "Hey man! What are you doing? You don't wanna do that...um...it's just a bad hair day, yeah." okay, Air Wraith is a complete idiot, but ah well..

Twila Peterson answers Cossack, "The past 10-15 minutes. I wouldn't have woken him up if I knew this was going to happen..."

Dr. Pavel Cossack grumbles "Get back! Containment for now! I wasn't finished programming! Zero keep calm everything's ok. Your not in any danger." he mumbles as his hand near completion on the field..

Zero looks over at Cossack and sneers, "I know that you old fool." he quips, "You're the ones in danger... as long as I'm here, i'm just a liability, and a dangerous one at that..."

.oO(Woulda been nice if that has been within Zero's medical notes...)Oo. Twila muses. But then, how would even Cossack knew something like this would happen? She decides to go out on a limb. Even if it does go ignored...better than standing by watching. "Rock and Iris wouldn't think so..."

Rhapsody transforms into Angel.
Rhapsody blinks as Zero flips the sabre around in his hand, about to run himself through. She casts around for an idea, coming up pretty empty. There's no time to get in there and knock the weapon out of his hand, and if she puts up a shield of her own around him, he can still just stab himself. She immediately takes action, teleporting into the field with him, drawing back her foot... and lashing out straight at his groin. Hey, it's bound to either make him drop the sword, or try and kill her instead of himself...

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Containment field in five...four..clear the area!""

*Clank* *dramatic pause* "********** WOMAN! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!" *clang* Zero falls to the ground, twitching, "When I get up..." he snarls.

Rhapsody says, "GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF, you... you... uh... insane guy!"

Dischord shakes her head slightly and slowly begins to rise to her feet over towards Zero, "NUMBER TWO SHUT UP!!!!"

Zero looks up at Dischord, and blinks, then looks at Rhapsody, and blinks again, "What the... I... oye....." Zero's eyes suddenly go dim, as he falls back to the ground, his body limp from the strain.

Rhapsody turns to Dischord, and yells back at her, forgetting about teleporting back out of the forcefielded area. "DON'T CALL ME THAT! Stupid braindead... *grumblegrumble*... trying to help you and you... *grumble*... witch..."

Dr. Pavel Cossack growls. "BACK OFFF!" letting the coutndown continue as he reaches for his bag and tools. "Ve can'tvorry now ve must act somehow!" he slowly walks towards him. "Keep calm! Vatch but don't act. Twila get a cross section on sensor #314 and 219!

Dischord growls slightly at Rhaps, not moving herself, "I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU FREAK CLONE!?!?!" Shifting her gaze slightly she looks back at Zero, "I was talking to him..."

Air Wraith strides over to Magma Dragoon, "So uh.. don't suppose you can fill me in on whats going here?" he blinks, pauses, then says, "I ever tell you about the time I had to stop a wild Reploid? This was of course when I was still with the Repliforce.. see, what happened was.." he goes in, ranting and babbling.

Twila Peterson nods shakily as she does as told, standing beside the console quite near the activity and gaining the needed information. "Done," she reports as she soon finishes with the task. An image appears on the screen too her left of whatever it was the Doctor was asking for.

Magma Dragoon slowly shifts his eyes to the left where Air Wraith stands. He then slowly shifts them back forward watching. He says nothing. "Carefull Rhapsody...."

Dr. Pavel Cossack nods. glancing at the screen and making notes. "Ahh simple glitch to the right main processor. Simple enough to fix vith two notches on #314 and #220."

Rhapsody just shoots Dischord a really nasty glare, and glances back at Zero at

Magma's words. Not that the reminder was neccessary, but she prods him lightly with the tip of one of her feet, shifting her gaze to the hand holding the sabre...

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "If your going to act rude and disrupt. Please leave!"

Dischord closes her eyes slightly and hovers over towards Zero and rhaps, ignoring the look, and Cossacks comments. Coming to a stop next to her sis, she says calmly, "After this, I owe you more then a drink...."

In a fit of dramatic effect, the sabre suddenly deactivates, as Zero's hand relaxes, allowing the sabre to roll out of his hand onto the floor, finally coming to a stop. The emblem he had encrusted on it facing up, a golden Z intertwined with a silver X. Aside from the slight hand movement, Zero remains motionless, his open eyes staring vacantly at nothing at all.

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Zer if you voudln't going onto standby. I need to mke two notches in you right cortex to ensure your sanity and restart your dream protocols."

Zero doesn't respond, he doesn't move, he doesn't do anything, he just stares vacantly at his sabre, his eyes empty and devoid of anything, like an empty shell.

Rhapsody nods to Dischord, relaxing a bit. She's about to say something in response, when Zero's hand moves and the sabre clatters as it rolls across the floor. She shrieks and leaps backwards, landing about 3 feet away from where she was just standing, obviously startled by the sudden motion. Her cheeks flush as she glances around in embarrassment, muttering something apologetic.

Twila Peterson bites her lower lip as time passes, hoping the good doctor can do what must be done, as well as biting down her own guilt regarding this. Her gaze shifts towards the imaging and then back to what's going on behind the field. She would glance at some of the monitors to see if Zero was safe to approach now, nut he damaged some of those sensors when he detroyed his bed. Struck dumb at first, she remains silent until, "It alright to lower the field?"

Air Wraith blinks and huffs as Magma Dragoon is obviously not paying attention to him. He must be too worried about Zero.. yeah, thats it, he'll tell him the story later. Looking back over to Zero, he blinks again, "Wow.. is he dead? That can't be good." he thinks for a moment, then sighs since if there is a funeral, no one will want to listen to his stories there. How dull..

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Yes miss Peterson it's sortan eeded to make the changes.""

Dischord doesn't move as she just stays there, close to Zero, even as she closes her eyes, and responds to Wraith. "He's not dead yet. It'd take a heck of a lot more then what 's happened here to kill Number two."

Twila Peterson nods in acknowledgment and lowers the field surrounding Zero, Rhapsody, and the med bed's remains. "Anything I can do to help?

Magma Dragoon raises an eyebrow at Rhapsody as she leaps back. He takes a few steps forward and speaks, "Alright... Cossack needs his room to work. Remain nearby in case anything.... ODD.. happens."

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Get ready to input sectors #14 and 415 on my command vhen I finish. I vant to see how the electoric flow is vorking. hmm., add 346789 +123354567 to the elft."

Air Wraith snaps his fingers and smiles, striking a victory pose, "Awesome! So once he comes to.. he'll probably be bed ridden for awhile, right? He'll be super bored, so I can come and tell him stories to entertain him. No! Don't try to talk me out of it.. its the least I can do as a fellow Hunter." he nodnods to himself.

Twila Peterson dips her chin quickly as she gains some of the needed supplies from the neighboring bed and equipment surrounding it, finding she can't very well use the one where Zero was previously occupying. She kneels down and helps in making the proper connections and then stands to work the controls of the energy flow as the doctor directs. "Alright..."

Dr. Pavel Cossack attaches two wires to ports and goes to his personal terminal opening and closing several programs typing simple driect keystrokes to each. He reviews them and muses for a bit. Finally pressing a single button before walking back. "I needed to finish the programing on the terminal it's vaiting for voice activation so I can finish the changes on his hardvare and vith a single vord it vill be completed." taking his laser-scalpel and one of those magnifying glass lens he goes to work making tiny inscesions."

Dischord releases a breath she didn't even know she was holding as she just hovers there by Zero. Watching silently.

Dr. Pavel Cossack glances up turning off the scalpel. Staring at Dischord. "Are you repaired miss?"

Dischord just glares at Cossack, "Don't worry about me." She motions towards Zero. "Fix /him/."

Twila Peterson nods quietly, not really adding anything more for the moment. Not only is she somewhat shaken...but also feeling a huge amount of guilt as well. She wishes the ground would just swallow her where she stands.
Air Wraith tries to get closer to the operation, his green eyes opening wide to take in all the visual information, probably for a future story, "You know.. if he doesn't pull through, you think I can have his sword? Just something to remind me of him." he thinks, "Actually, this reminds me a lot of when I was built.. of course I wasn't really awake for that.. but, Zero isn't awake either, so I guess its kinda the same thing."

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Then PLEASE Back away! I cannot do my duty vhile you hover!""

A loud, almost animalistic scream can be heard almost as soon as Disch hears Wraith asking for Zeros' Sabre. Quickly she pivots in the air, and lunges at him full speed, her arms extended in front of her.

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "STOP! I vill cease if violence is not discountued!""
Air Wraith blinks, then noddles to Cossack, "Oh.. sure.. I gu--ACK!!" he is cut off as Dischord lunges at him. He tries to get out of the way, but can't seems to find his footing as he flails his arms around wildly, almost cartoonish. Then he is choked by Dischord and starts to turn blue. x.x

Rhapsody blinks, and rushes over to grab Dischord from behind, struggling to try and get her into a full nelson and drag her off of Air Wraith. "Whoa! Cool off a little, you." . o O (That's it, I'm surrounded by crazy people. I should have never left the lab. *sigh*)

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Guards! Please remove them from the premissis! Let

Twila Peterson refrains from facepalming. "Dischord...later!"

Dischord lets out a frustrated growl as she is pulled off of Wraith by her Sis, screamin, like a mad woman.

Air Wraith struggles to breath, his cheeks puffs up and his large eyes start to get little swirlys in them, "Can't.. breath.. feel.. like.. last.. date.." his face getting those weird blue lines across his forehead and his own face turns purple now. But then he is let go and falls to the floor, "Five more minutes mom.. I don't want to go to school.." @.@

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Get her out! Out! Out!"

Magma Dragoon moves extremely fast as he sees Dischord lunge and Rhapsody grab hold of Dischord. His large arms slowly pull the pair attempting to seperate them from Air Wraith so he may regain the ability to BREATHE!

Twila Peterson just watches off to the side...and sighs. And Rock always told her inside the Labs was tha safest?

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Vock is going to here about this! Your confined to your room vithing Light Labs for a veek for discipline training!""

Twila Peterson blinks and glances towards Cossack. "But the newcomer did provoke her too."

Magma Dragoon shouts now as well, "Both of you... at ease or you will feel the burn of my blade!" He also shoots AIr Wraith a glance.. but does not scold him for the moment simply because his face is still rather blue.
Dischord sarls one, before stopping, anf glaring at Cossack, but otherwise she doesn't respond to him, or at leasst not at first, finally she states, "Just fix Zero."

Dr. Pavel Cossack snarls back. "Get out! Just get out!"
Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Both of you!"

Air Wraith slowly crawls his most pitiful self over towards the repair chamber when no one is looking. Okay, he wasn't really hurt.. but.. that place seems to be a nice place to hide for awhile.. at least til Zero kicks the bucket and he can take his sabre.

Rhapsody blinks, still holding onto Dischord until she's sure she's stopped trying to kill people and then releasing her. "Hey, what did I do?," she complains. "I was saving this guy's," jerks a finger at Wraith, "life, so why is everyone yelling at me?"

Twila Peterson takes in a breath, "The doctor just wants the ability to work on Zero for right now, ok?" she answers to no one in particular.

Dr. Pavel Cossack growls! trying to focus on Zero.
Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "A few more etchings and then you can moan and complain all you vish.""

Twila Peterson then glances down towards the doctor and patient before reshifting her focus back at the terminal where she's working and seeing to the adjustment of the energies flowing through to Zero through the connections made...mindful to keep them at the levels specified.

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Juuust a few morrree. One done. One more to go.""

Air Wraith peeks out from the repair chamber after a few moments, blinking and seeing if the coast is clear.. or at least no one is trying to kill him. Uhm.. maybe he'll stay in here a little longer.. just in case.

Twila Peterson stands by and continues watch. Her eyes dart towards the monitor as it keeps tract of the status and then back towards them two.

Magma Dragoon now stands guard.. ensuring there will be no more chaos ensuing as long as he exists in this place... for he is MAGMA DRAGOOOOOOOON!

And with a floursih the laser scalpel is deactivated all is ready. "And but for the grace of god go I." Cossack quips, vhich is in actuallty the code phrase and his personal terminal is activated and feeding the needed codes into Zero's.
Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "that should do it."

Twila Peterson presses her lips together and glances once more at the readings on the screen before looking back on doctor and patient.

Dischord just stands there, silently watching Cossack, since no one really has done anything other than use words to get her to leave, waiting to either be told that Zero will be himself again, and for the coward to come back out. ;)

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Activate restart procedures."

Zero's eyes flare to life once more as he instinctively reaches for his sabre and grips it in his hand tightly, as if reaching for security. As he grabs it he closes his eyes for a moment, and then stands up, taking a deep breath as he shakily stands. Phasing out of his armor into a set of plain clothes. He attaches the sabre to his belt loop and holds the palm of one hand to his face as he stands there in silence, sorting through the chaos. Finally, he runs a hand through his hair, pulling out a rubber band and placing it in a pony tail to keep it from going everywhere and looks up, staring at the wall, not making eye contact with anyone, as he walks towards the wall, his back to everyone. He leans forward and places his hands on the counter and stares into a mirror, the same mirror he broke a few weeks ago. He studies himself for a moment in silence, before closing his eyes and hanging his head, finally speaking, in a soft, barely audible tone, "I'm sorry."

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "He is vell."

Dischord simply whispers, "Zero..."

Zero transforms into Casual Outfit.
Zero just shakes his head, "Don't."

Air Wraith hops out from within the repair chamber, he seems to be okay again and smiling, giving Zero the thumbs up, "Heya Zero! Glad you're back to the land of the living bro.. you were kinda all.. excorsist on us. Anyway, you know.. this is kinda like the time I got that weird glinch when I was with the Repliforce.. it made me do all kinds of weird things, good thing they managed to get to fix me, or else I wouldn't be here today! Hahaha! Cool huh?" yup, Air Wraith is very cheerful.. not to mention a little bit weird.

Zero looks back up at the mirror, and says a bit louder, "I guess Sigma was right about me all along..." he unhooks the sabre from his belt loop, and turns around, and walks up to Requiem, and hands it to her, "I don't belong here, not where I can hurt the ones I care about." He looks over at Air Wraith a bit quizzically and nods, "Uh, yeah." He then just shakes his head again, and heads for the door.

Twila Peterson bites her lower lip. She glances once toward Cossack before offering to no one in particular. "I was the one who wake--. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to." No one had it within the medical report. With a shaky sigh she looks down at the terminal. She looks back up and, knowing at least the patient is fair better, is uncertain or what to do.

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Zero I'm afraid I have the obligation to request you stay so ve can vork this out."

Dischord blinks slightly as the sabre is placed in her hands, and frowns, "You're not going. I told you I'm not leaving you like last time. If you go Number two, I go."

Zero looks over at Dischord, "Well then pack your bags." is all he says, blatantly ignoring Cossack's request, and stepping out of the door.

Air Wraith blinks and rushes after Zero rather quickly.. wow, he's pretty fast.. wonder why he couldn't avoid the choke? Oh well. He pats Zero on the back, "Hey man.. no need to give up. Okay, so you did something bad.. it happens. Besides, now you'll have a cool story to tell." he pauses, then says, "Hey, if you aren't going to use the story, can I?"

Zero spins around as Air Wraith grabs his shoulder and points a finger at his chest as he sneers, "Listen, Flyboy, I don't want to hear your stupid damn stories, and I certainly don't need you patronizing me, so back off."

Dischord blinks slightly at Zero, and nods, just listening as he 'talks to' Wraith. Slowly she turns to look at her Sis, but remains silent.

Air Wraith blinks, with a look of shock on his face, "Hey! Did you just call my stories damned? Okay.. they may be a little stupid, but they aren't damned! You take it back, or else I'll never tell you another one! See how you'll like that! HA!"

Magma Dragoon eyes Zero and Air Wraith. "Zero... take it easy. But Air Wraith..... can you not just....... be a fly on the proverbial wall for a while?"

Zero grumbles, "Anyway..." he says, as he turns back around, "I'll be seeing you guys. Maybe I'll send a postcard. Let's go Woman, if yer comin." He steps out the door, without another word.

Dr. Pavel Cossack goes back to the main terminal. Punching in a coded number and speaking into the mike. "Attention, attention."

Air Wraith turns over to look at Magma Dragoon, obviously not getting what he means. He simply shrugs it off and thinks, wondering why he came in here in the first place, hrm..

Rhapsody looks back at Dischord, rubbing the back of her head awkwardly, at a loss for words. "So... I guess this rules out whatever it was you were planning for us to do later, huh..?"

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Magma! Ve must stop him!"

Magma Dragoon looks to Cossack... "Stop him? Why??"

Dischord sighs as she hears Rhaps, before pausing, "Maybe not tonight, but we'll do it. I owe you that much. I'll be in contact." With that she turns, and goes out after Zero.

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Vhy? Vhy! He's vrong that's vhy!""

Twila Peterson quietly just...finishes putting away what she used at the "station". She stated her apology and fully meant it. Whatever is transpiring is more than her mistake in judgement she knows. But not knowing how to actively know how to respond...she remains quiet.

You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Zero: "Sorry."

Zero sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "Don't you be sorry for anything, sweetheart, you're a good kid, and you've got more sense than half the people around you."

You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Zero: "Just...take care of yourself, alright?"

Zero sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "I will, tell Rock I'll get in touch with him later."

You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Zero: "Will do."

Air Wraith looks between Magma Dragoon and Cossack, "Oh! I can stop him, want me to? I can if you want me to." he seems eager, wonder why. He points to his chest proudly, "I'm your man! He won't even be hurt."
Magma Dragoon shakes his head slowly. "Give him a few hours to cool off... then we'll go after him. Right now after things like this he's a tad..... volitile."

Dr. Pavel Cossack looks at Air. "And vho are you?

Air Wraith blinks at Cossack, then gasps and takes a dramatic step backwards, "You.. you never heard of me?!" he places a hand on his chest, "Why.. I am the best aerial warrior the Maverick Hunters have! I am the one, the only.. Air Wraith! Thank you.. thank you.. no applause please."

Dr. Pavel Cossack gorwls! "You imbicle! If I didn't have the family saber n for repairs! I...I Ivould keeel haul you! you made a mockery out of my med bay! Out!"

Rhapsody glances sidelong at Air Wraith, and mutters under her breath (but loudly enough to be heard), "Well, considering that he's still got Dischord with him, you might not survive the attempt."

Air Wraith blinks slowly, wondering why Cossack is yelling, "Are you talking to me? What did I do?" he wonders, actually lost now.

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "You made disruptions during an important surgery! Almost got killed!"

Air Wraith blinks again, "Disruption? Hey! I didn't do anything.. I was just looking. Not my fault I was choked."

Dr. Pavel Cossack gets in your face. "Looking entails a fair distence apart! This vas vhat you vere doing!"

Air Wraith blinks and erks, "Um.. would you believe I need glasses?"

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "NO!"

Air Wraith blinks and sweatdrops, looking around the room, "Uh.. well, you know.. I forgot what I came in here for.. so, maybe I'll go.. uh.. patrol. You

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "I'm going to vork."
Dr. Pavel Cossack plops down in one of his chairs.

Twila Peterson glances up towards some of the further yelling. She opens her mouth as if to point out what it was the reploid actually stated that had gotten him choked...but decides it would be tossed to the wind. "I'm....heading back to my quarters, she sighs and then glances at the reploid anyway. "And you, next time you think you want to state something about wanting someone's prized possession when they're right their injured and their friends are nearby...DON'T!" And with that she too steps out into the hallway.

You enter the Corridor - Level 3 <Hunter HQ>.
In contrast to most of the other levels, this corridor is fairly quiet and those passing through do so quickly and with purpose. The blue-carpeted floor is a non-distracting neutral constrast to the beige walls, mostly because the scientists and medics who rush around have no use for hanging around to admire the decor. The medical suites occupy the north and east walls, while the research labs occupy the rest. Few people come around here unless they work here or need something.

Dischord is kneeling, basically in the center of the corridor, crying, "Zero..."

Twila Peterson wanders out of medbay, still feeling a bit downcast over what had just now happened. She slows her pace as she comes across a certain female reploid there in the hall in tears. Carefully the girl moves beside her. "Dischord...?"

Dischord sniffles slightly, trying to regain her control, letting her hair dangle over her face so no one can see her expression as she snaps back, trying to keep up her normal angry attitude, even if she doesn't really feel that way, "What!"

Air Wraith glides out of the medbay with all the grace of a passing breeze. He looks around and whews, glad he's not being yelled at anymore. Spotting the crying Dischord and makes his way over towards her, "Hey hey.. whats with the water works?" of course, he's used to people being mean to him.. what a sad life he leads, but oh well, "You need anything?" he asks helpfully.

Twila Peterson simply perks up her eyebrow as she's snapped at, but neglects comment. "If you need a place to stay for right now, I'm sure Kyo wouldn't mind if I brought in company?"

Twila Peterson spares Air Wraith a look as he speaks at almost the same time, having a feeling his help wouldn't be welcomed by Dischord at the moment.

Dischord growls as she suddenly spins, and then lets out a low kick, in a maneuver that would be impossible, where it not for her anti-gravs. "GET LOST!"

Air Wraith gets kicked right in the mommy and daddy button, he oofs and gets all swirly eyed again, "Wow.. you must have a wide foot, you got both of them!" okay.. reploids don't really have anything there.. but its funny anyways! Well, funny until he falls over. @.x

Twila Peterson winces. He may not be human. But...that hadda hurt. She lays a hand on Dischord's shoulder...even though she knows of her present state, and tries drawing her back a little. "Dischord, ignore him."

Air Wraith he slowly crawls away, sniffing sadly and knowing when he's not wanted. Well.. yeah.. he doesn't seem to be wanted here. Whimpering softly, he slowly makes his way out of the hall.

Dischord nods at Twila, and sniffles again, holding a silver cylinder in her left hand, "Thanks Doc."

Twila Peterson softens her features, repeating her orginal offer since...it may have been overlooked during the past few moments. "If you need a place to stay for the moment, I' sure Kyo-Ohki wouldn't mind me having a guest."

Dischord nods again, finally maneuvering so she's standing upright, before landing on her feet, and carefully attaching the cylinder to one of her own beltloops, "Thanks Doc. If anyone's earned that title, it's you."

"Thanks," Twila states softly, although personally thinking otherwise due to what had just occurred not that long ago. But she doesn't expand. "I recall some roll-a-ways within the back closet in the Rec Room. More than able to set up right now...depending on when it is you want to retire for the night...." She allows her voice to trail off from the babble before offering. "Herbal tea might help."

Dischord nods slightly, repeating her earlier word, "Thanks."
