[Maria wakes up, feeling groggy. Very groggy. She remembers getting in the van to head off to some supply depot for a rescue, then nothing after that.] * Maria blinks. Groggy? Waking up? Shit. * Maria glances around without moving, trying to look like she's still asleep. [As Maria's vision comes into focus, she finds herself in a cell. It's just like any ol' jail cell, 'cept instead of bars, there's an apparent sheet of glass in front, and a thick iron door to the side. It almost looks like a scene from some old video game.] ( Hey! It's a Lazar! ) ( I'm in Deus Ex. Oh, no! ) [Maria notices, in a similar cell just across from her, a big rock.] * Maria checks herself for her posessions. They couldn't have found them *all*, after all. ( They took everything but your trenchcoat and shades! :P ) ( ...everything except my what and what? ) [Unfortunately for Maria, it looks like they did find everything. They even took her stealth suit, though they were nice enough to leave the clothes she wears over it.] * Maria turns red. Bastards! Can't a smirking sneak thief have *any* privacy anyomore? [Meanwhile, the rock in the opposite cell stirs.] * Maria blinks. She shrugs, gets up, and looks around some more. ... oy. * Maria blinks again. "Laz? Laz, is that you?" * Lazar rubs his head. Think so. Would say it feel like someone hit me over head with rock, but my head rock, so it must be something more... where the heck we are? [Lazar finds himself in a cell opposite Maria. It's the same as any old cell, except instead of bars, there's glass, and a thick iron door to the side, doubly reinforced.] A cell of some sort. Not public jail. They took all my stuff. I can't believe they fucking strip-searched me! While I wasn't even conscious! * Lazar tilts his head. "Great. We kidnapped by perverts..." *gets to his feet* "No worry, little one. When we find who do this, I hit them extra hard for you, okay?" * Maria grins. "Hey, I'll hit 'em extra hard for me, too." * Maria looks around. Airvent? How's the door locked? Drainage? Restroom? Bed? * Lazar decides to try the obvious, and tries to punch through the glass wall. [There's actually two airvents, much to small for anyone to fit through. There's a slab sticking out of the wall for a bed, and a drain in the middle of the floor. There's a toilet, but that's it. And the door is apparently mechanically locked.] [Lazar fails to even dent the wall.] * Maria eyes the drain. How big? * Lazar is stubborn, and keeps on trying, repeatedly working on the same spot. [Not that big. It's apparently what you get instead of a sink.] [Lazar continues to do no damage to the wall. Durable stuff.] * Maria looks the door over more closely. Laz, zave it for the guys who put us here. * Lazar mutters. "Golem-proof glass... is no fun." * Maria keeps looking. How tightly shut is the door? [Very. It doesn't appear to swing open, either. It must slide.] ( Gimme perception checks ) [The two of you notice a fog seep in through the vents outside the room.] ...shit. * Maria blinks. Wait, *outside* the room? ( Yep ) ... cover you mouth. Gas no affect me. [The fog forms into a person. A familiar person: Kaira. Almost at once she stumbles forwards, kneeling and clutching her shoulder. She looks from Maria to Lazar in turn. "Goddamn... wrong ones..."] * Maria blinks. "...hey, Kaira. Uhm, you pick up any of my stuff on the way in?" "Kind of got caught..." Crap. Hey, you alright? * Lazar blinks. [Kaira shakes her head to clear it, and stumbles over to a control panel next to Maria's cell. "I'm going to let you out... I can't fight anymore. Don't dare leave here without my daughter."] I don't plan on it. If Rei's here, I'll find her. [She fiddles with the controls a bit, and the door slides upwards. Then she lumbers over to Lazar's cell and does the same.] * Maria gets up, stretches, and walks out, glancing around once she's outside. Daughter here? Rei? Where here? [The hallway contains two other cells besides yours, both empty, and another door at the end. There's also a camera for each cell, but it seems they've been disabled.] How're you feelin', Laz? You up to fighting? Kaira: "If I knew that I'd have saved her already." ... no feeling too great, but have much choice, no? Kaira grimaces. "They'll know where I went. Probably checking Rei's cell now, see that I went the wrong way... They'll come here soon." In that case, hang back and let me do my thing. * Maria hops up onto the cieling. "You need to go now. Find Rei. I'm going back." [And thus, she turns into fog and moves back through the vent.] * Lazar eyes Maria. "You ready?" To escape from an underground lockup who knows where without my tools, my suit, a plan, or any socks? Sure. [Session End]
