"Yeah.  I would have liked to find him, too.  I still think he knows more about the warehouse thing than he is saying.  According to the map I just got, we need to head to the hospital and it looks like the fastest route is to get outside this building and head north before cutting east, so look for a door out."

[gilga]

The next door takes you to the visitors room, and as you leave you can hear the knights ramming the door behind you. When you open the door you can see a bunch of choppers landing/taking off outside and knights presence is dense. To the north (notice that north is left) there is an ARU pointing visitors cafeteria.

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos nods to Kynos and begins walking along the side of the building to the north, heading to the hospital area on the map.  They walk with a sense of purpose, but not running. 

[Jack_Spade]

Kynos followed while looking around: "You know, that's not how I imagined a black site prison to look. I mean there is a freaking visitors cafeteria. All that's missing is a gift shop with t-shirts saying: "My brother was sent to a secret prison and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos laughs.  I think I saw one of the visitors wearing that very shirt."  He leads the way to the hospital and looks around for the evac drones.

You can hear the grenade going off behind you, at roughly the same time you hear massive knocks with some metal objects a rhythm of  1 -1- 2- 1 is answered by answered by a  4 - 2 and then the place become a lot louder and you can smell traces of CS gas. On the bright side, it does not seem as if anyone is directly after you.

As you walk to the side of the building, you can see the knights dashing in after you. It is a moment of tension, but they keep running passed you. There are two choppers that  are waiting by the gate and as you get pass them you are in an alley and suddenly everything grows silent. Completely silent and you feel chill in your bones. The forced tranquility seem to slow down your pace, and as you approach the ally your way is blocked by a skinny and tattooed Cheshire cat, that wears a large ear ring and has an impossibly large smile.

The cat is clearly no ordinary cat and is either the product of massive genetic engineering or some magic and if any of you has knowledge of classic matrix games you are probobly thinking about that horror game American McGee's Alice.



The cat tells you: "By the way, if you'd really like to know, he went that way."  and his paw indicates up.

[Jack_Spade]

"...THE FUCK?" Kynos looked involuntarily upwards. "Who... what are you?"
He looked towards Athos: "Are you seeing that too, or is that a lingering effect of those drugs they gave me."
He turned back to the cat: "Anyway, are you just blocking our way or is there an explanation. Who went where?"

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos is just as confused and manages to nod in response to Kynos' question.  He also waits for the answer.

[gilga]

Looking above you only see the sky with a lot of chopper activity.  The cat say "Am I really blocking your way? You should go up and I am not above you. I am only pointing the obvious and am not here anymore" He smiles and disappears into thin air. As he does the sounds of combat returns and you can hear the knights running right across the corner as their heavy armor makes its distinctive sound.

Near the hospital there is a large force of knights, they are standing in a circle with their backs to each other and are spraying bullets from automatic fire at some winged demons or spirits or... you honestly have no idea what.  The winged demons dash toward them and every once in a while they manage to grab a night and toss him from high attitude.  They bullets do not seem very effective against them, and they only seem to slow them down a little bit.  In fact,  one of the winged demons is carrying a knight and he tosses him not very far from the alley exist. The combat is massive and the knights at entrance of the hospital seems to be losing it. 

[Jack_Spade]

"Okay. What fresh hell is this? God, I really miss my rifle right now. No wonder Max was so twitchy about that impending attack.
Can you contact that Deep Blue - either so we can contribute or that we can grab a bite in the cafeteria until they are done here."
Kynos began again to relaps into his cynical self.

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos nods.  "On it."  He puts the guard down to pull out his 'link and sends a text to Lora.  >>Deep Blue.  Say, there is a lot of strange stuff going on at the hospital.  Some mojo creatures are attacking the KE guys, but it looks like it would be hard to get to the building.  The Thug's bullets do not seem to be doi9ng much to the spirits, but they would be tough on me.  Any ideas?<<

[gilga]

Deep Blue texts back >>You need a ride outside if you want to join me on the way out. You have like 15 minutes to find a ride. The only reason that the medical ride is free is that nobody is mad enough to drive it with the sky looking as they do now.   In the meanwhile the knights are getting closer and if you stay where you are you are going to meet them.

[Mercy Merchant]

"Frag it.  Wasting time here.  Follow my lead and we might make it through.  You seem to be able to talk better than I, so tell them that we are taking this guard to the hospital.  They may be inclined to believe you and let us past before they realize something is odd."  Athos picks the guard up again and starts running for the east exit of the alley in the direction of the hospital.

[Jack_Spade]

"You are really a joker. Me talking well. But whatever, I'll try my best. Hopefully those guys have military experience."

When they neared the line, Kynos set his face into an angry expression - not really a problem for him even at the best of times - and shouted at the nearest KE member in his best drill sergeant voice:
"Open up this line this fucking second. We have a casualty here in dire need of medical assistance. Move your lazy ass before I rip you head off and shove it in there until you see daylight again!"

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos raises his hand to point to the guard he is carrying.  In a slow voice he adds, "Guard hurt bad.  Need doctor." 

Assist Kynos in bluffing guards: 7d6t5 2  Probably not much of a help.
