"Its nearly impossible for me to get drunk.
Just like my mother."
*She sighs then straightens back up and continues typing away*
English

Suddenly, the alarms on their autonomous helicopter begin to blare furiously as the flight passes out over the ocean. A pair of strange missiles is seen headed straight for them. Crane waves off the chopper bearing the other agents, which turns back toward Overwatch HQ. [i]Get back to base! I'll handle this![/i] He smashes open the cockpit door and activates the manual controls as the missiles continue their flight, looping up and over the chopper before exploding just above them in a swarm of electricity. The chopper's engines grind to a halt, and the aircraft enters a flat spin, spiraling towards the water. [i]Aww crap! We've been EMP'd![/i] Crane slams down the chopper's radio transmit switch. [i]Mayday, Mayday, this is Blackjack One-Actual, headed down at coordinates 32-60-35-57 and bearing north by northeast. Blackjack One-Two is returning to base and can confirm. I repeat: Mayday, Mayday, we are-[/i] The water is frighteningly close as Crane punches the master eject control, propelling him and Blank out and away from their doomed ship. Then the rotors shear off, wrapping around Crane's drouge chute and pulling him down with the craft. There is a splash. As Blank drifts down under her own parachute, she realizes that both the chopper and Crane are gone.
-
[i]Shit.[/i] [u]Activating low-oxygen atmosphere mode.[/u] *She twists and slices away the cords holding her to the parachute with her phase saber. As she falls towards the water she clips the saber to her belt and dives into the water, swimming down into the dark ocean*
-
As Blank dives, she can faintly see Crane trapped by the wreckage, slicing away with his arm chisels as air leaks rapidly from his lungs.
-
*She quickly makes her way down to Crane, igniting her saber under the water. She begins to cut away the entangling beams, careful not to touch Crane*
-
Crane manages to free himself from the wreck and kicks towards the surface. Suddenly, bullets begin to slice into the water. Then, as one impacts Crane, Blank realizes they aren't bullets. They're tranquilizer darts. The drowning agent goes limp and begins to float toward the surface. If he doesn't wake up soon, the water already trapped in his lungs will kill him.

Returning to normal mode.[/u] *She takes a breath as she checks on Crane's condition. She begins to pulls him towards the ocean surface, away from the bottom*
-
As they break the surface, Blank realizes that nothing is close to them save for a jungle island about 100 meters away.
-
[i]Ugh....[/i] *She shakes her head then begins to drag Crane's limp body behind her as she heads for the island*
-
As you swim, a few of the darts that hit Crane float past. Whoever's out there is trying to knock you and Crane out of action, and after that, who knows?
-
[i]Meh.[/i] [b]Gonna take more than tranks to knock us out.[/b] [u]Ain't that right!![/u] [i]Shut up you two, I'm a bit busy.[/i] *She reaches out and grabs a dart, placing it into a pocket of her uniform before continuing to swim*
-
You soon reach the island, pulling Crane onto the beach. Suddenly, there is a rustling in the bushes, and faint radio chatter.
-
*She looks up while keeping one hand hidden from the inside of the island* "Who's there!!! Show yourself!!"
-
More tranq darts zip out of the woods and hit Blank in her non-robotic arm and leg, which go numb. A group of gas-masked, black-armored soldiers exit the woods, tranq rifles in hand. They attempt to pull Crane away from Blank's robotic grasp.
-
*She smirks as she pulls out her phase saber and cuts down the nearest ones* "Cowards!!!" [u]Foreign substance detected. Initiating locating and removal of substance.[/u] *She lunges forward as she slices at another soldier, cutting him down but causing her to fall to the ground*
-
More darts fill the air, and Blank staggers and falls as many hit their mark. Shockingly, the soldiers she'd thought eviscerated stand back up, no worse for wear. As darkness begins to cloud her vision, she sees Crane being lifted onto a stretcher by soldiers with medical markings. [b]What do we do with this one, sir?[/b] [b]Bring her. Maybe she can help us bring him back.[/b] [b]Yessir.[/b] Blank falls unconscious.
-
[u]Foreign substance increasing. Systems at 30%. Removal at 20% complete.[/u] [spoiler]this is in her head btw[/spoiler]
-
[u][b]Several Hours Later...[/b][/u] Blank awakens strapped to an examination table. The first thing she notices is that she is alone. The second is that her robotic limbs are unresponsive, and cannot be restarted, even by voice control.
-
"Goshdangit. Let's recap what happened. Guys in black jumped us while on route to a mission. Now strapped to a table and robot parts non-responsive. That's it." [u]Foreign substance 10% removed. Systems at full functionality. Additions non-responsive. Will attempt to restart. Est. Time: 10 mins.[/u] [i]At least that still works....[/i] *She sighs and relaxes against the straps, waiting*
-
((Srry. Was busy.)) Down the hall, you can hear the squeaking of wheels, which grows louder. A group of soldiers pulls a gurney into the room. His face, arms, and legs are covered selectively with heavy bandages, which seem to glow slightly. The man's left eye, which is the only one uncovered, turns to you. The man begins to speak quietly. [i]Remember remember remember. Why do I-[/i] He flinches. [i]You. I remember. A-cell. The reporter was my contact. You shot me. You know who I was and you lied![/i] He pulls free of the various medical devices strapped to him and falls to the ground, pulling himself toward Blank. The bandages on his arms pull away, revealing that his augments have been removed. Crane pulls himself closer to Blank, then falls again. He finally manages to pull himself close. His voice is plaintive, lost, confused. [i]Why did you lie to me?[/i] He collapses, managing to accidentally press the button to release Blank.

Edited by TwiggierTiger22: 8/19/2015 10:22:23 PM[u]Additions restarted. Calibration completed. Combat mode engaged.[/u] *She instantly jumps up as time seems to slow down* [i]One, two, 7 in total.[/i] *She draws her pistol with one hand as her saber slides down her arm into her other. She shoots the three in the back before they can draw their weapons, then jumps over Crane to slice into the front two soldiers. She ends her jump in a roll that takes her past the third soldier. She gets to her feet and slices the fourth down before pointing her sword and pistol at the third, her back to the door* "Alright, now where am I? Answer before my finger slips."
-
The other soldiers seem once again unharmed. The third gently pushes Blank's blade away with his hand, then slowly rises from the floor. [b]We're not here to hurt you. And we didn't launch those missiles. We dealt with the Psions who did. Now, if you would please notice the fact that you've torn your stitches open, we could get you some help .[/b]
-
*She stares at him before holstering the pistol and deactivating the saber* "So how do you do that? The invincibility trick." [u]Combat mode deactivated. Pain inhibitors shutting down.[/u] *Suddenly she staggers and falls to a knee* "Damn nanobots. Can't keep the pain inhibitors on for just a few minutes longer..."
-
The soldiers wave to a team of doctors and nurses, who quickly escort Blank to a safer Ward. [b]We're terribly sorry about all this, ma'am. Memory reconstruction is difficult surgery, and Stephenson is one of our best. We're sorry he attacked you like that.[/b] Behind them, the soldiers wrestle Crane into the restrained bed that once held Blank. He's screaming and sobbing, reaching out to Blank. [i]HELP ME! PLEASE, JUST HELP ME! [/i]
-
"What happened to him? He hit his head too hard?" *She stares at the once-Stephenson* [u]Repairs at 75% complete. Molecular production shutting down.[/u]
-
The doctors shrug as they work on Blank. [b]Memory reconstruction. We decided to put some real organs back into him, with stuff we stole from PROJECT RECOIL back on Earth. By the way, the General wanted to tell you that your mother is ... known to us.[/b]
