X-Force only: Jaca Followup

[xp_changeling]

OK, let's go over everything we've found. Spain has called in the Avengers and they're due on the ground any minute, so any access we had to the site is officially closed now.

I have pulled every ounce of paperwork I could get on Kieros. I have very little. I did not find any mention of him or any patient like him in the data Darcy pulled from Sublime early in the year. I doubt that is a good connection.

I really think someone recruited him for a ... I was going to ask if anyone has spoken to Quire's little mutant enclave, but I will just go ask him myself, I am the best option right now.

Once I get done setting my nose I'll go over what we found a little more.

I've thrown all the photos and videos up to our latest digital dead drop.

Whatever this was, just being in the city made Amanda cray-cray levels of angry. So it's bigger than just people.

[xp_darcy]

Rotation to sit with her until she's conscious and herself again?

[xp_cypher]

Sign me up.

[xp_darcy]

What's your opinion on early morning shift? Give us time to nap first.

[xp_cypher]

I don't mind the early shift. Whatever's needed.

[xp_jubilee]

Maybe with the good drugs. I had to nerve chop her in the neck to put her down and that shit gives you a gnarly headache

[xp_darcy]

Once she's herself again, sure. Until then, she can sleep.

[xp_tarot]

It is fine, I am sitting. First, second, last, always.

[xp_cypher]

Under the "whatever is needed", if you need food brought by while you're sitting, or anything like that, I'm on it.

[xp_tarot]

What was needed was anyone checking to see if I was already sitting with Amanda and offering food hours ago instead of assuming a rotation was even needed.

[xp_cypher]

Yeah, I should have thought of that, and I didn't. That's my bad. I got stuck in all that bullshit with the Avengers getting called in and sending burn notices - not an excuse, still should have thought of it.

[xp_tarot]

You can make it up to me by bringing me another deck of cards and some pizza. This deck is stupid.

[xp_cypher]

How do you feel about shiny cyberpunk? I just picked up Eldritch Overload and was waiting for a gifting opportunity.

Couple of pepperoni slices, extra cheese, you got it.

Also I'll handle texting Kurt and Meggan since I owe you.

[xp_tarot]

Merci.

I need the Scarabeo deck. My suite on the small bookshelf, third row of cards, in the geography section.

[xp_cypher]

...a la verrga. Spain.

I am slow on the uptake sometimes. On it.

[xp_darcy]

That's great Angie, but I'm not dealing with your angry girlfriend if you don't at least attempt some rest at some point. You can't help if you end up in medical next to her out of exhaustion.

The rotation stands with the understanding that you will be there as much as we let you get away with. You can be mad about it later.

[xp_topaz]

I'm sure this is obvious, but there's no saving the people affected by whatever was happening. Emma and I tried to find some semblance of humanity left in them, but there was nothing there. It was... disturbing.

[xp_darcy]

Not a damn thing, really, except that various sources agree with Topaz and Emma that the vics didn't have anything left upstairs except rage even if they made it out of the zone.

Nobody taking credit, nobody suspiciously well-informed, just some shaky video footage (someone managed to get a drone in... I do not recommend watching it. The footage is extremely disturbing.) and a few leaked medical files.

[xp_blackcat]

Artie and I catalogued and tagged all the footage when identifying Kieros. No one needs to watch it.
