[Day 8 - Early Afternoon] Where the Wyld Things Are (Wyldside)

[Lina (NAG Mk3-19)]

Felix Cordova

Getting bombarded with questions after getting tasered gave him the slight impression that he might have made it to safety but he couldn't be so sure, especially as a clone. However, he wasn't in the clear yet. He would roll over to the side as they talked and asked him questions, giving some indication that he was planning to stand up or get on his knees if they would allow him. However, he would point behind him where once he came from when it was regarding who he was running away from.

It didn't take long for the footsteps to hurry and a Loonie woman to burst from the doors.


Sadie

"...What?" She would blurt out loud when she found herself in front of this group waiting at the door.

[OOC: Will need initiative with Cool if there are combat actions here.]

#19 would more or less place themselves between the clone and the others - they might have time to react if he suddenly bolted away, but he didn't seem to be a threat. In fact, he might be a...

This is who he's fleeing from, then?

The bioroid's eyes focus in on the woman. Was that...

They heard Leo, saw Jane readying her taser.

Yep. Had to be her. So this clone...

... Seems like this won't happen without a fight after all

OOC:
D8 EA - Cool for Init. 2 Boosts from Camera drone: 3eA+2eB 3 successes, 3 advantage


Sadie didn't try to go social on us, did she?

DID SHE? (flaunts Haughty Demeanour and Clever Retort)

[Boogiepop]

Felix Cordova

Felix knew something was up and was at the ready to do something, probably run away if it got too crazy.

[Lina (NAG Mk3-19)]

"...What?" She would blurt out loud when she found herself in front of this group waiting at the door.

Placing themselves between the clone and the woman who appeared at the door, the bioroid looked at the woman with very, very serious eyes.

There was a low whirring for a moment. They were reasonably sure this was what Kate had told them about. But how to approach that?

"What indeed, madam."

The voice's unnatural undertones were quite clear, and if the first words weren't exactly menacing, the next ones made clear the bioroid was not there for a friendly chat.

"There's reason to believe this clone does not belong here, madam. And there's another missing clone. You will explain to us what has transpired and where the other is located, yes?"

OOC:
I'm guessing that would be Coercion?

EDIT: Here goes
D8 EA - Coercion vs Avg: 3eP+2eD 1 success

[Boogiepop]

Sadie

Clones were easy to handle, they were property. However, people did present a rather awkward area of authority. Sadie might have found herself looking at both Leo and Jane, despite Lina was the one talking. She found herself shirking slightly when she regarded Lina again, assuming that they programmed her to do some interrogation by their command. "...She's not here anymore! She's gone!" She would blurt out.

It was easy finding Lina-19 but another matter entirely trying to get them somewhere private where the authorities weren't so present...

[OOC: Despair receipt #1 and #2.]


Vendetta Blood Enforcer

"...Found you! The Vendetta Blood send their regards!" barked out a man standing from the crowds, drawing out his gun from his trench coat and immediately taking shots at Lina-19.

Move: Draw weapon
Action: Attack!

Enforcer is at Medium.

[Leo Knight]

Leo had a few very simple rules. When someone started shooting at you, or someone you were with, you starting shooting them right back. And so he spun, pulling out both pistols with a smooth motion, firing at the newcomer with the gun.

The bullets were fairly accurate, anyway. "Friend of yours?" He called to Lina over the sounds of the gunfire. "Seems like he's after you!"

[Lina (NAG Mk3-19)]

Sudden screaming and shouting. A handcannon hitting their back while they were trying to deal with that lady sure made things harder.

"Vendetta Blood? Here?", the synthvoice said as #19 turned with a sneer to face the newcomer who had shot them and stepped towards them. "Had to branch out after your poor decisions on Earth, then?", they said, grinning slightly. "Body snatching should add you some 10 years in the hole", they said to him, then to the woman. "Of course you may both end up in another hole depending on your decisions."

[Jane Doe]

Jane hustled behind a dumpster, midly impressed anyone would want to kill Lina, what had she been up to? Before zapping the enforcer

[Boogiepop]

Vendetta Blood Enforcer

...The enforcer wasn't expecting this sort of welcome, assaulted by all three senses with violence, hard words, and stunning zap! This was easily far too much for the enforce to take and they found themselves collapse into the ground as Jane released the zap on them. His gun clattered on the ground as they have been incapcitated. Maybe next time he should have thought out of some elaborate plan to lure them in with a cadre of mercenaries...

[OOC: Combat over!]


Sadie

Okay...these people meant business, apparently. The first shots from the Weyland Consortium gunman were more than proof of that. Sadie tossed her synap pistol to the ground and raised her hands to spare herself from further harm.

[OOC: Combat over!]

Nineteen's eyes glowed ominously as the Enforcer dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes, and their gaze was soon on the woman by the door again. "So. The other clone, madam. Where? And what else are you up to here?"

Stepping back carefully keeping their eyes on the woman, they tried to make their way to where the Enforcer was. They had the impression they'd need more than one set of snap locks today, but one of them was definitely spoken for.

[Boogiepop]

Even before the conflict resolved itself, there was some screaming and running when the gunshots rang out. There were at least five people who called for the NAPD. Unlike Earth, random gunfire wasn't something that people overlooked or turned a blind eye to, considering if they could find themselves out of air unexpectedly.


Sadie

Sadie was more than willing to spill the beans on the operation, which was the sale of "old" and unwanted clones. However, the allure of boosting their income with a fairly new and top-of-the-line Avaline clone was far too much to pass up. They had sold Nadia and a Tenma to Andrew Waller just recently and they were likely headed for the residential parking garage, bay 1-B-23. They just had to intercept them on time. They had taken the long route but had the benefit of a headstart.

If they searched where they came from, it would turn out to be a sizeable interior, likely a neighbouring business of the Wyldside that shuttered that was converted into storage for the club. This was where they kept the extra chairs and tables when they broke on a weekly basis, as well as the alcohol that they've bought in bulk. They had a room dedicated to this operation, complete with a camera setup and encrypted terminal connection. A Malloy clone would be found locked up in the employee change room.


Felix Cordova

The Cordova clone, who would admit that he is Felix Cordova, would cooperate. However, he would be prone to running off if not managed properly. While these people had the good intention of retrieving Nadia and returning her to safety, it didn't mean that they intended to allow a clone to go free. Despite being a clone without an owner now, clones like him were 'sent to the farm'.

Felix? THAT Felix, then?

Having searched the area and found the Malloy clone, Nineteen would try to find a chance for some quiet words to the Cordova clone - and the Malloy, assuming she was conscious.

[Boogiepop]

The Malloy clone was conscious, it seemed her captors were hoping to stow her away for a later sale. She seemed more confused when she was released, still feeling like she should be working than loitering around on this extended adventure.


Felix Cordova

Felix had more emotion to him on the matter, certainly looking dour on the affair. It seemed like it was a roller coaster of jumping into different hot pots ever since his escape from the restaurant. It just seemed like he had all the bad luck. He would follow wherever he was directed, if they kept a close eye on him.

[Leo Knight]

Leo wasn't about to wait around once they had Nadia's location. And he wasn't especially concerned about Felix, one way or the other. He would make ready to go to the destination, shooting a message to Detective Slee as he went.

Got the kidnappers. Nadia is being sold at residential parking garage, bay 1-B-23. I'm on my way

He'd also give her the location of the little setup, in case they wanted someone handling that, too.

[Debra Slee]

Leo would get a response quickly. Maybe Debra was waiting for this call.

Leave some for me. We're on our way.

When there was a quiet moment with the clones, Nineteen would say some soft words more directly meant for Felix. Her words and expression were friendly, or as friendly as possible given the circumstances.

"So... Felix, right? I assume you'll know the names Doreen, Natalia and Kevin, yeah?"

The bioroid would wait for a nod or some other sign of recognition. Assuming it happened, they'd continue.

"I imagine you went through a lot. Some contacts and I may be able to help. And... there may be a chance to be for her too", Nineteen would add as their eyes shifted to the Malloy clone. "... if she'll understand and want it, of course. Can you talk to her?"

Felix Cordova

Felix was half-distracted contemplating his fate or his next escape plan until he heard the mention of some familiar names and immediately perked up. He widened his eyes with his raised brows. Hope, that felt rather dangerous to have right now, he had seen many false glimpses of it. However, he didn't go this far just to give up. He gave a glance over to the Malloy, who was most certainly not a Doreen, even if she looked exactly the same. Thinking she would be one and the same due to their genetics would be ignoring the potential uniqueness found in each android. However, he gave a few nods, looking a bit hopeful.

"She's a bit dense but I'll try to talk to her." He said under his breath in return and would hover closer to the Malloy if he was allowed to.

The bioroid nodded.

"Considering the situation here, I should be able to get you in contact with... friends. I can't guarantee you'll join Doreen and the others, but you should have options", she'd add, now with a more clearly friendly smile.

[Boogiepop]

Felix Cordova

Felix would nod slowly in agreement. "I feel options are a start, at least. I was never supposed to have any in the beginning, not since I was made, even. Just let me know if there's anything I can...well, all I can do is cooperate now, really." He gave a slightly rueful smile at that.

The bioroid answers with a nod of their own.

"You have already, Felix. You've helped your friends. And you may help further in the future, if you're willing. There's much we need to do. So that others won't have to go through what you have..

What us meant in the bioroid's words was not clearly stated, but shouldn't be hard to glean.

Felix Cordova

"I wanted to help...before I had to run off." He muttered with a heavy sigh. Despite it being part of the plan if anything should happen, it couldn't shake off the feeling he failed. It was good to hear that they've been able to make it okay, at least. "I don't know what I can do right now, but I'll be willing to help in any way I can."
