- Nimbus - "Yeah? Well, breaking the street would only anger the city maintenance folk. Alright, let's both get to the sewers. I'll have my friend send me a map of the place, and where the subway runs. Lots of levels under the surface, here." Nimbus stated, his teeth chattering from the cold. "Yo, Siri? I'd like some navigation, here." Nimbus joked into his communicator. Blacklist scoffed and responded with, "I heard the conversation, I'm sending you a complied list of the modern and old sewer tunnels and metro rail-ways. Have fun getting in and out, Harrington, ya dick." Nimbus took out his smart-phone, which was bombarded with messages and downloadable files of the sewer lay-out and subway system below the streets. Evander turned to Compound and nodded his head in satisfaction. "Let's a'get a'digging."

- Shadow Fixer - The table. The restaurant. The dinner. The two had gone to a nice place for dinner, it was time to celebrate twenty years of work together. He insisted. The two arrived and ordered a nice steak each, pineapple, peas, eggs, nice combination. The two started to talk about life, family, and work. Progressively the other half starts getting nervous, the mood was changing. The other started getting a little bit aggressive, though calm. It got louder, and louder, and a large high pitch tone got louder and louder and harsher and harsher. The other half made a sprint to the door, he opened, then a loud, repeating noise shatters and the holes appear. One of the perpetrators approaches him, and their fist approached their face at a breakneck speed. And then.... ------------------------------------- Zap Cooper threw himself up, breathing heavily and eyes wide open, almost in panic. He takes a look at his arms, slightly open, exposing the innards, the lights, the wires, the components of his prosthetics. His breathing slows down. 'Welcome back Doctor Cooper, resetting systems, please be patient.' He looks around, Dominic and Sarah, his wounds stitched up. He leans forward and looks at the ground. "How long have I been out?"

- Athena - Sarah looked at Adrian. Dominic was busy at the moment, still on the phone, "I've been fixing you for about half an hour I'd say, somebody found you on the street. So likely longer. Though it's morning now, if that helps." She was still fiddling with some of the circuitry in one of his legs, but she finished up and closed it, so that what was inside the augmentation could work safely, "I fixed up your augmentations based on what I know and the work we did together, try to test if everything works properly." - Lazarus - Dominic thought for a moment about Jade's proposition, "Sarah and I make about the average of an upper class worker, and we allocate a majority of the money our business makes to our own workers and to various causes that we support or run. I suppose we could looking in moving some funding around, because people need basic shelters before they can start worrying about the more complex needs that some of these causes address. Not to mention that some are probably not running given what just happened." He paused, then continued, "However, given that you and your boss did just hijack the government, we would prefer giving money directly to fund rebuilding, not through a middleman." - The Rooks - The Rook looked at Ares. She sat on an empty crate that had been emptied of the bandages it had carried. She also held a handgun on her lap, and her hold on it had only tightened as he had approached, "So, you're Ares then. You led the men who shot my brother - and paralyzed him permanently. Funny thing how life works." She thought for a moment, "At the back of the warehouse, a small car with some medicine just arrived. Get the hell back there and unload it while I think about what to do with you. Come see me when you're done. Or try running, that would be even better."

- Hunter - Luke continued inspecting the courtyard, half-bored out of his mind but still enticed over what Lilly was perhaps doing and the multiple prisoners that all seemed to be getting to work. Most of all, he feared he lost Kay. For good. He honestly didn't feel sad. If anything he felt numb, and his lack of emotion only managed to make him feel guilty.

Cooper took a look at the nearby mirror, his eyes were red, unusual given his work on and off the field. 'Lower limbs recalibrated, please seek repair station'. Cooper rose to his feet, and did a light job on the spot, he needed power, and he needed some answers. "Sarah.....Dominic" he said, with a little hesitation. "...thank you" he finished, before he inspected the wounds. Clean cut, avoided the heart to his own surprise, though his ultimate desire might have also saved him. 'Incoming transmission' the HUD said, before giving Cooper a saved message. "Compound, Nimbus... if you two are still near the Pineapple, I have another assignment for you. Argent Mind is MIA, last known location not far from you. Could you see if you can find him? He's likely to be underground nearby." "Alright, I'm on it. Did you get that one too? We need to go find Argent Mind. Would your 'friend' have any information on where he could be?" "Argent Mind? MIA, huh? That's a problem. I'll get right to it. Also, Compound, I don't think Blacklist can help us out here. Do you know any way we can get underground? Maybe there's a metro entrance on the sidewalk somewhere?" "Not that I know of, though I'm not really familiar with this area a whole lot. Our best chance would be to just get down there and look, it seems." "Yeah? Well, breaking the street would only anger the city maintenance folk. Alright, let's both get to the sewers. I'll have my friend send me a map of the place, and where the subway runs. Lots of levels under the surface, here." The string of messages ended, heard by only Cooper himself. Argent was missing, he was last seen at his place of conflict, and now he needed him for something else, for confirmation. He looked around, he saw the rifle, no bullets, he saw the blade, ready, and he saw the shackles Starlass placed on him, now severely weakened. He turned to Sarah. "Please forgive me." He reached for the blade and quickly sliced off the cuffs, before slicing open a canister of knockout gas and grabbing the rifle. He didn't want Sarah hurt, and he couldn't let her stop him, he had to go off grid. He jumped for the nearest window and closed it shut behind him, before running for the nearest alleyway. He looked behind him, the ruins of the hospital, now being cleared out by either civilians, workers, or a combination of both. He slipped away, now in need of the rest of his equipment. - Frequency - Frequency took the elevator up to the medical wing, and took a seat. No one was around, no patients, no administration, nothing. For something so important she was surprised to see it so....empty. She took the time to look, only one man was there, in a bed, and on life support. She recognised him... someone on the news, and was someone of importance. She approached him, and he looked at her with his tired eyes after watching the television. "Odd isn't it Miss McCall?" He faced back to the television. "Make a speech one day, and 48 hours later the entire local government is dissolved, in favour of this puppet." Frequency looked at the screen, a repeat of the speech she saw. She was tempted to speak out, but she instead decided to listen to what he has to say. "I was a fool for trusting Paige, an old friend told me never to trust anyone, not even those close to you." He gave a light but struggling chuckle. "By the time I leave this place I will be nothing but a shadow, old, forgotten, and exiled by the very people supposed to represent us."

- La Mirage - Jade sighed. Damn, the Broker didn't make it easy for me. "That's fully understandable. And I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear enough. I'm not used to make these kinds of calls." Jade laughed nervously as she felt embarrassment flush her face and pulled out one of the papers she'd received from the Broker. Very professional, Jade. "The money will not go through me but directly to the Phoenix fund, which will be used to restore the city step by step. I can send you an e-mail with a schedule of our top priorities?"

- Starlass - Starlass sat in the back seat of the taxi, the gentle hum of the engine having her doze off from time to time. The ride from the Tower to the Citadel wasn't particularly long, but it was agonizingly quiet inside the vehicle thanks to a mixture of nerves, anticipation and just plain old exhaustion leaving everybody (especially Starlass) speechless. After about ten minutes of driving, the driver pulled up to the archway entrance to the Chancellor's tower in the citadel. Starlass paid the fare, then climbed out ahead of her companions. Waiting for her was the council's guard dog, standing at arms as usual. "Good morning, Pursuer. We're here to speak to the High Chancellor?" - Ares Warbander - Ares nodded silently then turned away from the Rook. Staring would likely only make her more angry with him, and he'd gotten everything he wanted from her anyway. He made his way out to the back of the warehouse, where he found the car the Rook was speaking about - not so much a car, but a van, loaded with boxes of medicine from floor to ceiling. It's a wonder these people found so much. Perhaps they are criminals... though, they seem nothing the sort. He got to work, lifting a box of medicines off of the top of the stack and setting it down neatly just outside the warehouse's back door. A second box, then a third out of the dozens inside the vehicle. This could take all morning, but a task was a task. - Compound - Edison looked down the street in the direction Nimbus was indicating. "You've got the maps? Then let's get to it." He was about to start walking ahead when a thought crossed his mind. "Look, Nimbus... there's every chance that Argent Mind got in a big spot of trouble. I just need to know - if it comes to a fight down there, I might have to transform. If that happens, could you keep an eye on me?"

- Knight - As Blake climbed from the taxi's opposite side, with Fear - being the smallest - having sat in the centre seat, he jumped at the sight of the man come to meet them. "Good morning, Pursuer. We're here to speak to the High Chancellor?" Blake's breathing intensified as he shut the door behind him. It was him; the Pursuer that arrested him. The tall, armoured man wasn't stupid. He'd recognise him easily. What would the council's lapdog think at the site of his latest victory over the hero being futile? Though of course, the High Chancellor asked for Knight personally, so surely the council knew of Blake's liberation. Who was the man in black canvas who gave Blake the keys on the night of chaos? Was he on the council? Would the Pursuer be OK with Knight's freedom? He had to be, right? The Pursuer had to follow the council's - and therefore the High Chancellor's - orders, so if the High Chancellor sought for the Pursuer to desist, he would. To many questions flooded and assaulted Blake's mind, overwhelming him before he broke through the barrier. Gritting his teeth and taking a deep breath; facing away from the Pursuer, Blake hid his concern and returned to the neutral expression of a frankly exhausted young man ridden with stress. Blake turned to face his captor. "Pursuer." he said politely, smiling sincerely and giving a nod. Pushing the prior day to the back of his mind, he greeted the brute as he would any official.

- The Pursuer - The Pursuer nodded to Starlass. "Morning Starlass. The High Chancellor is just down the corridor." There were two others, a female, and the man he arrest yesterday, clearly uncomfortable. The man was shifty, but turned and greeted him with a forced smile. The Pursuer nodded at him and said "Morning." Before looking back at all three. "Please follow me". He turned and started to walk down the corridor, the three and two guards in tow. - Shadow Fixer - With the lift of the garage door the Fixer entered. Some bullets, a recharge, he was on the move. He knew where to start if he suspected the Marshal was messing with Argent. Underground, to the base connected to the Marshal's pathway.
