We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Kirke]

(To the Rookie: Head to the library, we're looking for a young woman with a tattoo on her left hand.)
The Rookie nodded and stepped on the teleportation pad. He looked around the library and saw Erica.
(To the Rookie: That's her, right there.)
He walked over to Erica, and gently shook her shoulder.
OoC: Was eating, back now.

 

[Saltyk]

"Oh?" This should be good... The captain waited for Data to continue.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: *sigh* Alright, let's get this over with...

Tao pulled away from the man and had some claws appear. "If Tao needs to beat you guys up to show you I can help, that's what I'll do, meow." she said with a manic grin.

 

[Wackymon]

Data nodded, "I will show you the location after I have seen her cell, and have observed the dead prisoner." he said, "Though I have one question: You did remove her weapons, correct?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

@Outis: Is Tao doing research for a book called How to Die Violently, or something?

Somewhere in the wilderness between the forward base and the defence base, a figure in a long coat appeared.
He slowly got to his feet, and looked around.
"I have no idea where this place is, but at least nobody is trying to kill me here." he said to himself, as he started walking in a random direction.
"Well... nobody yet."

 

[Outisakanobody]

@Outis: Is Tao doing research for a book called How to Die Violently, or something?

My hands are pretty much tied here...

 

[Saltyk]

"We already know where the tunnel exit is. We're going to close it in a day or two." The Captain replied.
"We've also already seen the tracks. As for her weapons, she had no weapons that weren't natural. And those wouldn't have aided in her escape. It's why we're so confident someone helped her to get out."

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Outis: This can only end well. Lawl.

Being shaken by her shoulder, Erica groaned softly and looked up at Rookie, moving her hai out the way of her face. [sub]"Hmm...?"[/sub] was her first responce. Still groggy, she saw Rookie as rather blurry. In responce to this, she blinked a couple of times and rubbed her eyes. "Yes...?"
[hr]
The soldier grunted at Tao's responce and moved his left hand to a earpiece he wore in his left ear under his helmet. "We've got someone who refuses to leave here. Please send backup in case needed." Once the messega was recieved, the soldier lowered his hand and looked back at Tao. "I'm not going to fight you for this. And neither is anyone else. Now please put away the... claw-things and leave before you get hurt."

 

[Wackymon]

"Indeed, I did not see you there over the last few days I was there..."

@Salt: Oh come on! My chance to do something and I can't because 'We don't need your help'...

 

[Saltyk]

"Because we investigated the area thoroughly the instant of the escape. Why would we continue to investigate long after the fact?" The Captain replied.

OoC: @Wacky: It's on the compound. Obviously they would investigate the whole place and look for signs of her escape and how she got out. Why else would they be so confident someone helped her?

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: Yeah...things look bad for Linus Tao...

"No. Tao needs to work with you guys if I wanna have food in my belly. If I gotta knock some sense into you all, I will, meow!" Tao said as she stayed in a fighting stance.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie took a step back and reached into his rucksack, eventually pulling out Tophat.
(To Erica: Am I glad to see you!)

 

[Wackymon]

@Salt: Furioso said it was at the edge of LAKEWEST, not the compound!

Data looked at him, "May I at least see?" he said.

 

[Chungus]

Upon seeing Tophat, Erica initially didn't give much of a responce, believing it to be a random tophat which in a bad state. Upon hearing its voice, however, she gasped with suprise. "Oh my! Tophat!" she exclaimed, sitting up in her chair. "This is quite the coincidence! Of all people, I hadn't expected to find you here."
[hr]
"Not happening. Let it go." the soldier answered Tao, making little effort to get into a combat stance himself. They don't pay me enough for this...

Another soldier arived on the scene, carrying a pistol. Although this paticular model was made of plastic, rather then metal, and had a small tank of sorts ontop of it.

 

[Saltyk]

"There is nothing to see. I can tell you anything you need to know. Someone apparently dug up through the ground, freed the prisoner and she attacked and killed a guard before they escaped through the tunnel. Our men tried to attack them after they went through, but it seems they had already made an escape."

OoC: @Wacky: The compound is on the edge of Lakewest. Even still, they would look. It'd be illogical to think they didn't do a sweep of the whole area.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Tao didn't say or do anything for a little bit. Eventually, she retracted her claws and walked away from the base. Muttering, "Fine then, meow..." as she went.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie handed Tophat to Erica before taking a step back.
(To Erica: The same goes for me! Honestly, I wasn't sure I'd ever see you again.)

 

[Outisakanobody]

Tao made her way back to Felina's house, looking sad and angry as she entered the home.

 

[Wackymon]

@Salt: Alright, good point.

"How was the hole dug? What did the concrete look like? From what direction was it dug? Was part of it removed? How do you think she got past the bars? Were there two holes, one for one side, one for the other? How do you contain prisoners? Why did you flood the tunnel? How did she get her out? I need as much detail as I can get, and, no offense ment, human memory degraedes over time, and eyewitness accounts are not the most effective method of garnering information." he said.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: Are there any towns that aren't marked on the map?
