Erica shook her head and looked back at Valentine and returned her hug. "Pfft. I'm just being honest." She said with a smile. "I know you want to protect us and all that, but you shouldn't beat yourself up every time something doesn't go according to plan."

The aches all through James's body had grown exponentially worse even as he fell. Now they became blinding, expanding points of agony that felt as though his body was being ripped apart. The torment pressed on his mind like walls, driving him to an almost primal desperation for it to stop. Through the pain, he gaught a glimpse of his left forearm and thigh, as he was curled up on the floor. They actually were expanding, the material of his combat trouser bulging as they stretched, and the skin on his arm growing taut as the muscles beneath seemed to gain mass. His eyes clouded over with their mutated vision again, and with dawning horror he realised, too late, what was really happening to him.
"Oh God, no." He groaned, and fumbled for the pistol in his chest holster, but his finger bones were already lengthening and fusing into thick spikes, even as the muscles in his hands thickened into deformed masses. The gun slipped from his warped grip and clattered to the ground. Through his deteriorating mind flashed thefaces of all those he loved and fought for. His family, friends, colleagues, up to the most recent, those of the group. He tried to get the gun again, desperate not to allow himself to harm them.

<color=blue>"Just fine, thank you. Last night, a friend of Winter, named Ibis, said that there was a jamming signal coming from somewhere in the United States. We then prepared some suits and devices for this covert operation to stop the jamming signal. So I made these clocking devices." She pulled out what looked like a blue gem that was planted inside a palm-sized metallic holding.

Valentine gives a small smile.
Your right....I just don't wanna let anyone down is all....
she said.
___________

Wow....that's pretty impressive....
She said as she look at it, fascinated.
How does it work?

OoC @Berk: I knew that was gonna happen at some point. Still feel sorry for the guy.

"I know how that feels. It hurts pretty bad on the inside when you fail. Even a little." Erica said to Valentine.

<color=blue>"I was only able to make two of them after modeling after a children's cloaking toy. Joe's brain claimed one of them. But I haven't been able to find a person to take the second one for the mission."

So that's the last one?
She said, then paused for a moment.
I'm not great at stealth....but If I had one of those....I'd be invisible!
She muttered to herself.
What do you want for it?
She asks EMily.

Valentine nodded.
I can only agree to that...
She says to Erica.

<color=blue>"It looks by blue-shifting. At a small radius away from you, your visible light waves will be compressed into ultraviolet waves using its energy source. So you can still see yourself, but people around you will not with their naked eyes."

<color=blue>"Well, I don't think I'd need any payment. I made these for the team. But if you want to make a payment, I'm afraid you'd have to have currency dated to the 31st century."

If Tophat could, it would look down on itself.
[sub]W-what's happening to me?[/sub]
It asked itself, apparently already forgotten that it was falling apart.

James forgot about the gun as his skeleton warpd, bones fusing together, thickening, lengthening. His agonised moans became deep, feral snarls. On his left hand, the finger bones had now grown into long spikes which punched right through the mass of muscle that had been his hand. The other hand still resembled that of a human, but only vaguely, as thick and malformed as it was. The muscles of his arms, torso and legs split right through the skin, particularly in the left shoulder which formed a huge, hideous mass of knotted tendons. A great knob of bone pierced its way out of this, protruding up beside his head, which had been pushed to the side by the mass of flesh in his shoulder, and warped into a gruesome parody of his face by the agony he had endured. Then, the transformation slowed. James struggled to his feet, growling at the pain of that simple act. His tac-vest hung limply from his right shoulder, burst right off of the left, still supporting his submachine gun and sniper rifle. He ignored it. In fact, he did not even seem to be aware of it. He stared mindlessly around at the empty room, not knowing where he was. All he understood was that he was in pain, and yet, he felt strong. Incredibly strong. Stretching to his full height, well over 7 foot, he swiped his giant claw of a left arm and sent a number of beds flying.

OOC: @Nailik I actually never meant for this to happen until about two weeks ago. I had always considered the possibility, but wanted to play him as a positive contemporary character, who was also a badass. I guess I played up his dark background too much. In the end, what did people make of James as a character?

"Yeah... When something happens to me...I stangely don't care much once it's over with. Like I've oddly gotten used to getting hurt or something. I dunno.
But when someone else gets hurt... Ugh. I always end up feeling so useless."
Erica said to Valentine. When Tophat spoke again, she mentally screamed at it, hoping that it would hear her this time.

You are currently floating out at sea. Alicia replied with a matter-of-fact tone.

OoC @Berk: I liked him.

Noel pulls a panda style purse out of her pocket. she looks threw it.
...I have 20 dollars....a coupon for a milkshake....and a button...
She said, slightly displeased.
Would that do?

<color=blue>"I'm sorry, but the US dollar hasn't been in use since its collapse in the 24th century to the economy." She chuckled. <color=blue>"It's quite alright, Noel. I gave the first cloaking device away for free, so it's only fair that you get yours free also."

"Yeah. Once again, I know. Unfortunately, me helping more often then not adds up to me making things ten times worse..." Erica replied after staring into the distance for a while.

<color=blue>"You're very welcome." She said smiling, still kinda startled by Noel's seemingly bottomless pit of joy. She patted her on the back. <color=blue>"Just a warning, the device is still susceptible to EMPs. Motion sensors, radars, and ultraviolet sensors will still detect you."

OOC: Well, that's something at least.

An animal might have felt a simple minded satisfaction at the ease with which it smashed the bunks aside, but the thing that James had become felt nothing, and forgot about them entirely even before they had hit the ground. It's blazing red, empty eyes stared straight ahead, consumed with rage and nothing else, as a smell reached it. Something familiar, and though it had no idea why, the scent only aggravated it further. A deep, guttural snarl escaped its throat, he it lurched towards the door from which the scent emanated, striking it with its shoulder and crumpling the steel doorframe like aluminium foil. In the hallway, there was hardly enough room for it to fit, and it barged past struts and supports, mangling them as it did with the doorframe.

Tophat faintly heard Erica, but could not make out what she screamed. It filled with joy before hearing Alicia.
[sub]So... We're dead then?[/sub]
