Day 201 [event post]

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

Day 202

[How do you feel about scrawny, distressed red-heads grabbing you in the middle of the hospital, Colin? Hikaru's just accepted that his twin is down with the plague, and that news doesn't sit so well with him. Not a trace of safety gear can be found on him, but aside from the fear and traces of tears around his reddened eyes he's in perfect condition.]

You--do you know anything that's going on? Where are the guys with the cure?

[This is him being polite, even though his strained voice and rough grip give him away as being close to snapping. Please have some answers, dude.]

[Colin isn't happy about it in the slightest, but he's not really been able to enforce a more thorough quarantine, has he? Fortunately, Hikaru's caught him running between rooms and business, so he's not terribly interrupted at the moment.]

Hikaru, right?

Very little is going on. We're treating everyone. Seimei is not going to be happy that you're here.

Fortunately, the expedition team is making good time. They're not back yet, but they should be back in the next day or so.

[Yes, Colin will lie if he has to.]

[The quarantine sucked, anyway. He and Kaoru didn't even come inside during it, but one of them still wound up infected. Hikaru will be more than happy to outline how much of a complete failure that quarantine was to anyone who will listen.]

Who gives a crap if he'll be happy? He's got other reasons to be pissed off. [If he can even stay lucid long enough to realize them... Fuck, this situation is messed up.

It might be his unwillingness to relinquish control of his twin's fate to just anyone, but Hikaru's not really willing to accept 'within the next day or so'.]


What if they get into trouble? There are enough of us here, couldn't we try making something to help?

Only if you want to kill Seimei and Kaoru.

[Colin's expression is sympathetic, as sympathetic as one can be in an environmental suit anyway.]

We've got a virologist researching here, but that's not as easy as it sounds.
