Scene 1:
Gigatronix captured, first mission as a new team. The team is exhausted, wounded, and we need to replenish our resources. Patched up Foxglove from my...earlier misstep. It's been weird working together with members of other teams here. It was rough. We lost Perdue in the fight to submit this fiend. She was part of the Erasers. That'll complicate things, trying to transport this....person without people noticing. We'll need to find a way to get to Azura from here to complete the next part of our objective. Not my area of expertise but we'll have to find a way to make that work. Hoping Foxglove has some ideas since this kinda falls more into her realm than...well search and rescue. Perdue would probably know. The damn savage.....
Perdue's death was brutal, Gigantrix cannot be allowed to be free. We'll get him to HQ and they'll deal with him for sure. We got to work using parts and metal plates, tubes, and various parts around this hanger to construct this....weird looking crab, but he fits inside, and moves. Check, and check. Now to move up to the streets and make our way to the RV. Making our way through the main streets parading this crab like a float for the days festivities. As we....scuttle into the busier parts of town we meander into larger crowds of people. More people to pay attention to this thing. We get closer to our subway RV. Fox and I go to scout ahead since we'll need to find a way to get Giga out of this Mecha Crab at some point. It's a lot emptier over here, this will work just fine. We find our designated area and wave the others over. We cut into the tarps blocking access to the subway area down below. It stinks....warm, stagnant air. Racid waters, and slimy steps. I slip down the first few steps before catching myself. Uhg....disgusting.
Streets sweeper robots start up cleaning what seems like an already pretty clean area down here. Unlike the stairs to get down here. Jainora manages to gain control of one of them so that we can mount the bound Giga to it and use it to transport him to the car we need to get too. Once we get that done and loaded up we find a map....C23....that's what we're looking for. turns out it's labled "Nightingales"....sounds about right. The team proceeds.....man it is ridiculously clean down here where these bots are. Forward we go.....
Scene 2:
Gigatronix stirs....everyone noticed. Is this him waking, or something else? I prepare for any medical intervention but....I don't think that's what this is. I keep an eye on him....and stay ready to help or restrain. We need him alive to turn into Cartel command....we're all ready to take what action we need. His mana shackles flux with a glowing light, indicating that....something is happening. The Mana lamps flick off, we're encased in darkness now....they flick back on shortly after, something is off though. Or it feels off, no - different. the runes on his restraints now glow not randomly but together.
Gigatronix looks at us now, not with rage or intent. Just, recognition. Then suddenly the subway car starts moving. Hexpistol, the destination that reads on the notice lights in the car. That's in Solusi Simoli, the Fey wilds.....that's. not. good. Gigatronix suddenly starts choking....I have Jainora remove the gag so I can check his airways. He's regurgitating white fluids and what seems to be insect guts almost. his abdomin is swelling, and Jainora tells me that something is going on and that something must be pupating inside of him. What the hell could have caused this?! A....a pixie just tore out of Gigatronix's....a fucking Pixie?! standing at 15" tall...what the hell is she doing?! She's summoning good Berrys....what the hell?
I clean out the wound where she tore out of, and stitch him back up using silk strand cast to stabilize him again. We rest in shifts now that the pixie settles into Foxgloves hair. We're just along for the ride now, pretty sure we've been abducted by the Fey, not so much a BlackAxel Cartel secret squirl additional mission type deal. Great.....not much we can do now then, so we get some rest and just see what happens when we get to Hexpistal.
We spend an additional day traveling underground, gigatronix wakes up but is well restrained, thankfully. The pixie, Luna mentions "The gosimer"....context clues lead me to believe it's a title of some sort, an authority figure of some sort?
