Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic

The two are left to themselves, for the most part. Their conversation is recorded from cameras high above, and Sec personnel watch them steadily, but Vesa's employers make no move to stop her.
[Surgical Wing]
"However extensive you want it to be, man," Dexter explains, bringing a small scanning device over to play across the Centurion's head. 876 might note a low hum emanating from the object. "We want foreign tech. That's all. R&D loves this kinda stuff. Your kinda stuff."
[Labs]
"If you're so interested in helping people for free, why don't you help us? We only pull in so much, because of the work-contract policy. My sister's private funds and Elexxion's financial support are the only things keeping us from going under," Naitiri protests, frowning. She truly has no more money to spare on this little endeavor. Or at least, no money she wants to spare.
Andy - Halls
"Oh, Maxwell insists! Please, don't worry about a thing," the assistant attests, giving her companions one last squeeze before relinquishing her hold on them. They stop, at last, in a chrome hallway that ends with a window. Near the end, on the far left, is a sliding door. "C'mon, we'll show you!"
If Andy chooses to enter, he'll find a comfortable art-deco design waiting for him. Comfortable looking, red-leather chairs with circular arms face out a large window, overlooking the city. A curvy counter stands off to the right, tended by a set of dangling robotic arms and a single strange-looking appliance. A drink is being prepared right now, it appears.
Lower in the room, down a wide set of stairs to the left, is the actual labspace. It's open, comfortable, and flawlessly organized. A variety of basic scientific equipment is available, but nothing too advanced as of yet. The whole room feels like a work of art, with a crisp, cool, quiet atmosphere.
"This is what we have so far." The assistant says bouncily, waiting for further instructions. The security personnel stand off to the side, shifting their weight or shuffling their feet.Last edited by Murkus; 2012-07-31 at 12:11 PM.

"Oh, that? That results from being technically deceased."
She's not joking. Vesa doesn't joke.
Alia may also see the barest traces of some new scars that have been mostly covered up by the Clinic's expertise, as well as notice the wires going from the bell to the back of Vesa's neck and the higher-quality bodysuit she wears.Last edited by Beans; 2012-07-31 at 01:08 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
Alia seems a bit surprised by that, but takes it well enough. She's seen enough crazy things that Vesa being undead is, while odd, not too shocking.
"I see. You might want to hold off on telling Chameleon that until she's had a chance to be around you again for a while... I'm not sure she'd take it very well if she didn't have a chance to see that you're still you first."

Alia nods.
"And dead people who are still alive don't exactly have the best reputation back home."
Vesa will find that Alia to have been through a fire at some point, judging by the charred sections on her suit, and that it's sustained some other damage as well, as it has several claw marks scarring it, and what appear to be a few dings from bullets.

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
"We're in it for both. I work for a multiversal corporation, Jane. They expect some profit, in the long run," Naitiri says, frowning a little bit. She had thought people might see the Clinic this way. "And I've been here every day, 24-7, for the past week. I feed people, cloth them, return their limbs. Save their children." Her brow furrows, a little angry, and stung at Jane's accusation. "I do what I can. I'm not independently wealthy, like your father, or my sister. I'm just... getting by, that's all."

"Dave? Independently wealthy? Far from it. He was a medical advisor at Umbrella and made around $60,000 a year. He worked there for not even a decade, sunk a good deal of that money into the bank, and then only got a fraction of his retirement fund when he quit. He sunk all the money he had into a new house and into that clinic of his, and has been running on mostly donations and favors from people he's helped over the years since then."
She stood up and rubbed the back of her neck.
"You know what, I think I'm going to get Dave back here. I'll be good on my own."

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
Your equipment seems... battered.
If you were to join up with the Clinic, it could be repaired and improved as mine has been.
One hand leaves Alia's shoulder to neaten her indigo hair; it seems a little odd (or really creepy) but Alia and perhaps some of Vesa's superiors probably know by now that if she's willing to maintain physical contact with you, you're pretty special.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
Alia doesn't seem to mind, judging by the soft smile she gets when Vesa fixes her hair. She's well aware that even being wiling to be touched by someone for more than a handshake isn't all that normal for the other girl. Besides which, Alia's never had a problem with being touched by her friends, and she likes Vesa, and, more importantly, as it's even rarer, trusts her.

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
She nods briefly.
I would not suggest dying just yet, though. The transition might not be as easy for you as it was for me.
She sips from her ever-present water bottle, a habit she had back with Tempest. Unless, that is, you are very keen to have plugs in your neck and spine for data and power and the need for food bothers you.Last edited by Beans; 2012-07-31 at 05:05 PM.

"Well... The dataports do sound kind of nice. That sort of thing was half my job back at Tempest, and it was actually pretty fun. But the rest, not so much, so I think I'll stick to my original plan of staying alive, yes," Alia agrees, giving Vesa a quick nod of her own.

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
She nods. I will see that it is done.
She sends a message to the Auditors to see if any of the higher-ups have time to interview a prospective employee with skills such as Alia's.
I will be sure to give them my recommendation that you be accepted.Last edited by Beans; 2012-08-01 at 02:52 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
In that case, what Naitiri said holds true - she has no rich friends to help her. Just Elexxion and Fettina, the former of which is always hungry for gold or other precious metals.
"We haven't used phones in decades, sweetie. I'll find something to contact Dave with," Naitiri assures her. She'll try to pull Jane toward the elevator, taking her up. She doesn't bother picking up all of Jane's new clothes - an orderly can do that. In fact, he'll be standing by in the lobby when they arrive, holding a duffel bag. Naitiri leads Jane toward the front entrance, where a text has already been put out from the Auditors. Essentially, 'Jane rejecting care, she requests that you take her home'.
With that said, Naitiri leaves Jane in the care of her orderly until Dave arrives.
Iaito patches Alia through to... hm. The Chief of Security would normally handle such a request, but he's quite busy. So, for such an uncertain career path, this leaves Naitiri. She approaches from the front entrance, having just completed some business there, and smiles at the two young ladies. "And this must be... our newest applicant. It's nice to meet you. I'm Naitiri, the head of this clinic." This is typically the point when one says their name back. At least, that's what Nait's expecting.
Andy will find little in the way of tools for his experiment. It's as he suspected - just for show.
"That's what we were going for," His assistant assures the good doctor, bouncing after him eagerly. "We have more on the way, but we need to know what you need if it's going to work!"Last edited by Murkus; 2012-08-02 at 12:04 AM.

This is my teammate Red Wolf.
She is experienced in ops coordination and close-quarters combat with blade weapons mounted on her suit's arms as well as the use of handguns.
Vesa, maybe you should a) learn to let other people talk for themselves and b) realize that's not actually her name and c) go back to when you barely talked.
She doesn't for a moment consider that not only might Naitiri want to know "Red Wolf" by real name, she might not get that the two young women are on a not-name basis.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
"It's a pleasure to meet you, as well, Naitiri. And yes, I am your newest applicant, unless someone else is trying to join as we speak," Alia says, returning Nait's smile, and offering a hand, presumably to shake. "You can call me Wolf.
Please don't be offended, but I haven't given my actual name to anyone except the head of my old team in two years, for personal reasons, and I'd prefer to not do so unless absolutely necessary."
Edit:
Whoops. It would appear that I missed a post... In that case, Alia will simply wait to see Naitiri's reaction to Vesa's statements.Last edited by Lady Serpentine; 2012-08-03 at 02:34 AM.

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
Andy will go and throw face tools or such which are only for show to the ground.
"After all I don't need a show here. I need..."
He Lists up a List of tools mostly for electronic. Non of the tools is to expensive or Andy called for the best material for it.
"Well thats what I would need and..."
He starts telling her a mix of many different ingrediants most cemical things. And they are a bit more expensive than the tools.
"That should do it."
Then he heads for the drink looking what it might be.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

Re: [Nexus] Elexxion Industries Transhuman Clinic
"It sounds like she's very experienced," Naitiri says, glancing between the two women. She puts forth an amused, if perplexed, smile. "Is Red Wolf your... name?"
((Also, C'nor, since your PMs are full:
SpoilerI'd still be interested in the Outside/Village plot if you'll have me. Though I'd rather play something different - Bellan Vraal, a sort of knight-errant, and several of his comrades who would volunteer to help the defenseless villagers.
They're huge, alien beings with a preference for melee combat. A couple of them would have access to the Wheel Wells, pun intended, pools of mystical energy that are formed from their race's collective will. Each one is very powerful and well protected, but I consider all except Bellan to be impermanent (and expendable) characters. They can be killed off for the purposes of PLAWT or DRAMA should the scene require.
Andy's assistant takes down his requests dutifully, making no complaint whatsoever about the cost. That Priority stamp on Andy's file wasn't just for show. A look of horror passes over the assistant's face when Emeral starts tossing things, though. "Mr. Emeral, the display is expensive!"
*CRASH*
"That's very fragi--"
*BANG*
"Doctor, please!"
*KLONK*
The assistant hurries about on her anti-grav legs, scooping up displays and tools alike, catching some before Andy can toss them away. Before long she's laden up to the chin with rejected equipment, cheeks flushed red from the effort of running about.
She watches Andy with wide eyes, a little out of breath, as he approaches the prepared drink. It's a frothy purple concoction, still swirling in the glass. "Th-that's a nutrient drink. For focus, sir."
The security personnel are snickering in the corner at the whole affair. The tall, robotic one nudges the other with her elbow when Miss Assistant almost drops her things.

((They're similar to Teq in his normal form but with more armor and (visible, at least) weaponry, right? They should fit in fine, so feel free to toss them at it.))
Alia shakes her head, returning the smile, apparently not minding Vesa having spoken for her. It's not something she's used to, admittedly, but it's certainly better than her friend not giving more than monosyllables even when spoken to, and it's not like Iru doesn't know her capabilities as well as she does.
The expression fades, replaced by mild confusion, when Naitiri asks if that's her name, though. She's gotten so used to just going by her callsign - and having no-one question it, since the only people she was interacting with were her teammates and Ms. Harker - that she wasn't expecting it to even be commented on.
"My name? You mean, as in the one I was given by my parents?", Alia asks, a brief flicker of something unpleasant crossing her face when she mentions her parents. "Red Wolf was my callsign, when Iru and I were working together; I haven't given my name to anyone in two years."

Vesa puts a hand on Alia's shoulder.
Miss Naitiri, I request that you allow Wolf to go by her callsign. The matter at hand is extremely personal and the circumstances of her applying are vastly different from my own.
Her hand twitches as she realizes what she just implied.
She wonders if Wolf will be displeased with her.

"Well, I... suppose we can make an exception," Naitiri relents, clasping her hands in front of her. The slim executive flips up and scribbles something down.
