The Emergency shift in Redmond is, as always half boring and half hectic.
Boring is that part that there is only a few types of injuries to heal...shot wounds, cuts, broken bones, burns, metahuman of every age, shape and colour shattered in car accidents, caught in crossfire, gang skirmish...and drug and BTL addicts...
Hectic is the fact that there is 200 cases per hour...
This day for difference, after finishing her job in the hospital, Nina is not waiting for the company bus, taking another shift of workers to Carnation, to take her home. Instead she take the shower, pack all her things to prepared backpack, dress up the casual Urban Jumpsuit with the Helmet.
This time she takes the tour to the other side...to the Metroplex. She was sending her message two days ago, to all her contacts in the city, that she is lookong for work. Nobody anwers yet, so she decided to visit the Orkish underground for the beginning, looking for the women she met before. once in the reach of the signal, she sends her proposal one more tim, and hopes that the response would appear now. Inside she is cursing about her equipement, on the oposite to Redmond, she is even able to receive music from some local radio, but the commlink quickly began freezing and crashing, as too many messages from every corner attacked her PAN. She quickly realizes, that cold reset makes things easier sometimes, and she shut that thing down, and power it up only on the regular ocasions to check for the response.
Good evening monsieur Operator. So Ive heard the call and Im currious about the rest of it. As My friend here told before, Im experienced field medic...well I have extensive Salish millitary training and history, so Im capable also of some different tasks. Good with the long shots, capable in the hand to hand combat. Ive paid my price for those capabilities...well it doesnt affected my physical or mental balance, just my relationship to the nature..in the spiritual meaning. There are some weaknesses you should be aware also...Im better with moleculas then with electrons...possibly every teenager would be able to hack my comlink...which is now offline because I got spammed too much on my way here.
In the urban terrain situations I prefere to use my close combat abilities, but yes, Im capable of using smal firearsm, and also I`m equiped for this. About the urban social situations...well, Im working in Redmond Hollywood hospital most of my time, so Im acknowledged with many results of this kind of "Social situations". Im not a skilled negotiator, well Im able to find my way around, even get some more informations using contacts i have in the city.
Now, the most difficult question...
As Im trained Salish warrior, it is a question of my personal honour not to take action against civilian population. Corporate targets are the option, only in the case there is strong lead that they are abusing their power to commit the crime. Criminal syndicates, gangs, mercs...those are possible targets of oportunity, if assigned, I prefere to use clear, precise hit, minimizing possibility of collateral damage.
Generally, you could say that I have no problem with hurting people who hurt people.
Good.Now, If you are done questioning, let me ask something about you, the team, and the work we are up to.
First, you seem to be surprisingly liberal about metas. Not too much Japanese would have a drink at one table with two orkish women. Understand me. I dont want to be an expendable asset on some supremacist`s list of resources.
Im glad to hear that.I know Seattle just across the borders, being in the civilized parts of the city only for a few times only. Part of the team that was provided by the council to provide field hospital when Renraku incident occurs for example. Strange, most time Ive been here Ive spent with hands painted red by human blood. I hope that our job would not be the case...
So, Id better return to Redmont and get my shift done. Enjoy your ale, Ill see you tomorrow. I suppose I should came fully equiped, we will go for the job right after the meeting, right?
Calm down, chère amie. I am a field chirurg. Working with my hands in someones viscera with lead flying around my head. It takes more than a few biggots to make me mad.
Operator>> Well, I cant say I miss the old days that much. We have been brothers and sisters in arms, that is the fact, well on the other side that meant Ive seen the worst shit metahuman is able to do...and Ive almost lost my soul when fighting this...now there is so much hardware in myself that sometimes I feel completely disconnected from happiness of living. It`s an insane feeling, Op. I only hope my wise elder would stay alive long enought for me to gain enought money to remove that trash from my body and heal my soul once again...
A man was walking in the jungle when he heard a sound behind him, he turned and there sat a tiger. Fearing for his life he ran and the tiger chased him. Ahead of him he saw the edge of the trees and when he crossed out of the jungle he found himself on the edge of a cliff. Frantically he climbed down the side and as he looked up he saw the tiger staring down at him. He continued to climb but as he glanced to the ground below he saw another tiger emerge from the jungle. A tiger above and a tiger below, the man rested on a branch jutting out from the side of the cliff. The branch was sagging and starting to creak with a noise he knew ment he was not long for this world. As he sat there waiting he saw two mice, one black and one white scurry into a hole, looking from wince they came he saw a single strawberry hanging from the branch. He reached out and took the berry. As the tigers waited he took a bite and realized how sweet it was.
You may leave now, but before you go, know that you already knew the answer to your question. It is unfortunate that there are no strawberries for you.
A sign of your intention? What the dreck do you think is going on here? Shotozumi-san gets a call that some lowlifes are in his daughters home, after she disappears and one of his favored men, who was in line to marry her and take over the family, is dead. He comes here wondering what you are doing here and you tell him to basically slot it because you don't think he is who he says he is, when he asks you politely to explain yourself. Shotozumi-san does not need to prove his identity, you need to prove your intentions so he doesn't kill you. That's how it works not the other way around. You tell him that your loyalty lies with that shark Kanaga, well subtlety and patience nothing, your boss will be taken care of soon enough and like I said you would be dead right now if it wasn't for that man in there staying our hands. You better find her and find her soon because we've got a date in the future you and I, and I am going to take great personal pride to make that appointment.
...Two years later:
Far away are those days in Seattle. When they left for Denver, continuing the search for Kiko Shotozumi, nobody had an idea what awaits them ahead. Nina dont like to recall those events. Only death, pain, constant fear...and first steps into madness. Not that she wasnt able to take those wires out. She get stucked with her implants and get even some more, pushing her metahumanity on the very edge of void. From this moment, she stares down there...and the void stares back. She knows it.
She tried to spend some time with her old friend, Salish hound trainer, who was using his trained wolves as a therapeutic tool for retired soldiers who had seen just too much.
The fact is, she founds the pack calming, even more than human society. On the other side, her desire to fight the madness back wasnt sattisfied. She developed quite good ability to understand those noble hunters, and even make the fulfill her wishes. But the void is still there.
Then her grandfather died.
As she leaves the burial ground, where she left his corpse with ancestors. Something almost audible cracked in her. The only human she loved, the only thing she really cares to stay human, now gone.
Next augmentation brought her even closer to wolves. She became their bitch queen. Alpha female. It doesnt really matter to her any more. Human opinions are just for human.
Far away from civilization, from those cities that once attrated her eyes, she become soldier once more. Dog soldier. Her new pack was called TriSec. They gave her beautifull hound to work with. And freedom to roam around their territory to hunt with her fourlegged partner. Fourleaves dances with fenrir wolves now.
...
And the void waits. Patiently stares at her on the edge of visual fild, engulfing her in her dreamless sleep.
