Scene #388: No Such Thing As A Milk Run

Owner	Pose
Miss Clokwerk	~Detroit, United Confederate American States~ The weather is pouring in the warehouse district, only a few barely lit roads leading into a gated entrance. The orange and red logo of Renraku Computer Systems Inc. is emblazoned on a brick wall, ending in razor-wire tipped fencing near the top. The warehouse beyond is only barely better lit, looking rather nondescript. If it weren't for the four patrolling, armed men in heavy anti-ballistic armor, with assault rifles, and about half a dozen flying drones sporting weaponry circling the compound. There seems to be a front entrance only, guarded by a similarly armed man beneath a covered area just before the gates. A small booth has a bored looking man half-asleep, while the guard lazily smokes a cigarette. "...'Ey? Bob?" "What issit, Joe?" "Boring night, huh? Wish Corporate would assign us somewhere exciting. Crates, crates, crates. Always crates." The man in the booth shrugs. "Keep your excitement. Out here? At least we're not catching some Azzie bastard's bullets, or dealing with a bunch of drek-head gangers. Heh. Or Shadowrunners." "You've been watching too many trids."
Metal Man	Metal Man had to wonder what this world would think of him. This world was one of those oddities that ended up with a mix of tech and magic. He'd found the supernatural generally did the common man or robot? Little good in the long run, at least with technology it was the humans own doing. He seemsed amused at the two guards. He's been keeping an eye on them and he figured the time was now ot get them out of the way. There was and odd sympathy for guys in spots like that, it's what keeps him from uysing his blades as he drops in from the raftes on them. He moves s2wifly aiming to punch them, and when he does a taser charge would go off hopefully enough to drop them down. "Your living a trid now."
Jinx	RIGHT! Are we doing the rafter thing? Cause the whole idea of STEALTH INSTERTION is not Jinx's idea of a GOOD TIME. At least the Roboman took care of the guards before she could start burning the place down. "Come on, come OOOOOOON we need to find something we CAN'T SHOOT and get it and this is gonna get SO BORING. Who wants to get the cops out here?"
Victor von Doom	There's a slight hum audible in the distance, which gradually builds in volume. It's a bit less stealthy than Metal Man's approach, but still, the engines of the massive ship that's currently cresting over some of the nearby industrial buildings are fairly quiet, for a ship of that size. It's massive, first off, and very futuristic-looking. Shaped like a large zeppelin, almost, though it appears to be made of some kind of metal, and is most certainly not filled with helium. The Flying Fortress. So much for subtlty. As the massive warship nears, several rockets ignite, and streak out from the ship's wings, rushing through the air for the drones circling overtop of the target building. Overkill? Probably. But, it's pretty obvious that whoever is driving this thing really doesn't care about either stealth or overdoing things.
Evangeline	Although she was unable to decode the signal, Neuroi Girl (aka Evangeline) followed the source of the signal, and from there she either followed others here, or just came across this place while looking around. With it storming heavily, the black form of the Neuroi Girl would be nearly indistinguishable from the cloudcover, especially with how high she is flying. From her vantage point, Evangeline can't see the guards get taken down. But...she can see that giant airship. She even recognizes it. "...Mr. Doom..." she says softly to herself. Then, those missiles fire. And Evangeline is pretty certain that whatever Doom fires on is something that needs protecting. So, she quickly fires a beam of her own, aiming to destroy those missiles in mid-air.
Miss Clokwerk	It's likely to the security guard's credit that he doesn't immediately just drop from that punch. The man in the little kiosk gets it in the face, and is out cold. The guard, Bob, takes it in the gutt. Bent over, he's just about to level his gun when he gets a taser to the chest. Armor doesn't help much here, and he falls out unconscious. In three days, Bob and Joe will both swear off cigarettes, trideos, /and/ alcohol before being transferred out to an even smaller, lesser paying area. But at least they won't get punched by their vision of science gone wrong. Jinx won't remain bored for long. A flying fortress earns the attention of those on the ground, falling missiles peppering the drones in the sky. The beams offered by Evangeline save a good five drones from destruction. Three of those drones go streaking upwards for the flying fortress, firing upon the zeppelin's massive airfoil. Who knows how well these anti-personelle guns will work on airships, however! Not too far away, the massive intrusion has already scrambled both UCAS fighters and even Knight Errant jets as well. Within the building itself, alarms go off, and Matrix messages to the High Threat Response teams already go out. Neuroi Girl might even be able to pick them up, if she can receive wireless matrix traffic! They're very well encrypted, however. Two of the drones, however, spy Metal Man and Jinx alike. They rain down a hail of gunfire upon the pair, even as a group of corporate soldiers rush towards the gates! Eight heavy-armored men in all, a sharp eye might spot a pair of snipers on the rooftops! Curiously well guarded indeed!
Metal Man	Metal Man says "First Gen drones? Is that all a creation of Wily warrents?" Metal Man starts mopving rapidly shockingly evading a number of shots coming his way and he calls out. "So... this is what you want?" he flicks his wrist and blades appear in it which he starts launching at the drones while moving at high speed. He can not be unaugment he has to be some sort of street sam right? IF someone had the abiliyt to sense magic, there's not be a /lick/ here not one ounce of mana.
Jinx	Jinxie eeeeeees as mans and robots come to play. Though she doesn't look it, she's able to at least stand there long enough to hose down the drones attacking and spitting bullets at her with Pow Pow, returning fire with fire! "Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta! AAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!" That done, assumedly, she turns her attention instead to the fellows charging their way towards the building from the outside. "HELLO JERKS! WELCOME TO DUMBSVILLE, POPULATION YOU GUYS!" She happily swaps over to Fishbones, and plants her feet, and starts lobbing rockets indiscriminately at the NOT QUITE COPS.
Victor von Doom	Well, the Fortress clearly has no shortage of ammunition. That much is made clear when ecah missile fired in the first salvo is replaced by no less than four others. They streak through the air, hurtling towards the drones that have now moved into attacking positions near the warship. The anti-personnel rounds probably just tickle the massive airship, all things considered. There's no visible damage to the structure, and the ship continues to advance on the building, its shadow slowly beginning to creep up onto the property.
Evangeline	Neuroi Girl sees that shooting the missiles will do no good, so she dives down toward the warehouse, where explosions are going off inside. She flies in through the open door, then quickly takes stock of the situation before broadcasting a message on all frequencies she can, as well as through her personal speaker so any nearby can hear it. "...I am here to assist in defense of this facility...if at all possible...try to engage these beings from cover...I will attempt to draw their fire..." That said, Evangeline opens fire on both Jinx and Metal Man. She fires dozens of bullet-sized Neuroi beams, which vector around obstacles toward their targets. They won't pack a heavy punch, but they should sting enough to let them know that they should focus on her rather than the guards and response teams. That is the plan, anyway. "...leave them alone..." Although she sounds serious, her soft, barely outside of a monotone voice might not draw much attention.
Miss Clokwerk	MISSILES EVERYWHERE! Between Jinx's own fire, and the effects of the Fortress, the Renraku complex not only no longer has a gate, but it no longer has much of an outer wall. There is also a massive hole where a front door once was. Evangeline, therefore, slips in easily. The fact that a metallic drone-like creature is speaking to the rather frighened knot of armed guards and the duo of corp mages that look like they're considering new lines of work hardly phases them at this point. The commander, an older looking ork now huddling behind a piece of wall and taking potshots with an assault rifle at Metal Man gives a swift, if nervous, nod. "H...hey chummer! Right! Alpha squad! Pull back! Beta! Pull back those dro...aww, frag, nevermind! Just get back in here idiots! Use the...drone...spirit...thing for cover!" Metal Man eviscerates the drones easily, helped out by Jinx's covering fire. Rockets reduce about half of the on-site guards to pulp, and soon they've got the way clear to the front door. The two snipers, however, immediately take aim and try to put bullets into both Jinx and Metal Man! Blap! They're good shots, too. The Fortress has a bit of breathing room now, with the drones gone. However, sensors on the ship might pick up six jets swiftly speeding their way. Over the alarms, one might hear blaring sirens as a trio of APC's rumble down the road further off into the city, with Renraku's symbol on them. They won't take long to get here. Turns Until HTR Arrival: 3. Anyone listening for beacon signals, however, would notice a sudden increase in signal strength. Amidst the fighting, someone's trying to make a connection via wireless! It's coming from within the building itself, and /down/. The inside of the building might seem like your normal office building, but scanning devices might pick up a hidden door not too far into the complex.
Jinx	Jinx was just getting happy with firing mostly unopposed on the hapless COPS SCREW YOU PIGS when she's finding herself underfire from BULLSHIT LASER BULLETS. She squeakssquawks in surprise as she scampers back a few steps, looking up at the Neuroi Girl with a bit of excitement. "OH OH OH~ ACTUAL RESPONSE. How LOVELY~" She angles herself to wave happily at the ALIEN DEATH CREATURE and hear a sniper round whizz past her ear. Red eyes narrow at that point, and she holds up a finger. "Hold that thought, dear." The Loose Cannon does not like snipers. Not even in the slightest. No one does really, and that's reason enough for the young lady to leave her position, and charge across the street towards the other building. A moment to rattle out her heavy bangle, and there's a snap-crack in the air as she summons out what appear to be heavy duty satchel charges. She REALLY doesn't like snipers.
Victor von Doom	The Flying Fortress continues to shoot off rockets from a seemingly inexhaustible supply of ammunition located below either wing. The missile screech through the air, some targetting the structure's weak points, and other finishing off the drones. Apparently, someone up there has noticed the jets on the radar, as shortly, a group of four small fighters glides out of the rear bay door of the flying warship. The ships are a cross between a modern fighter jet and some type of futuristic spaceplane, but either way, they look dangerous. They don't have any cockpits, either. Presumably drones, of some sort Another ship floats out of the bay door, though this one is different than the others. It's shaped a bit more like a lander of sorts, and seems as though it could probably carry a group of passengers, or soldiers, down to the surface.
Metal Man	Metal Man looks about as the drones drop but then comes the snipers one of the shots catch metal man and digs into his armour doing a notable bit of damager the otehr is evade. The thing is? The shot's don't slow him down much. He's got to have some serious hardware there from the looks of him. He's mocving at pretty high speed now. "Your in over your head rentacop." MEtal Man howeve ris more worried aboiut the heavy incoming damage. Metal puts on the speed now trying to make for the becon time's running out and he will be slicing through any physical barriers that get in his way.
Evangeline	"...I cannot hold a thought..." Evangeline says to Jinx before that sniper bullet zings past. Evangeline looks in the direction of the sniper shot, then back at Jinx. "...you should go...reinforcements will be arriving soon...unless you wish to surrender..." Evangeline takes advantage of the moment to fire again. This time, a concentrated, solid beam of the explosive Neuroi energy is fired on Jinx. Then, Evangeline notices the wireless signal coming from...somewhere. "...what is that...?" she wonders, but can't really go to investigate while engaging Jinx.
Miss Clokwerk	Two straggling guards are cut down by Metal Man, before he's chasing his way towards the beacon! It's signal constantly grows stronger, as if someone's amplifying it. The two snipers soon find themselves with only a massive zepelin to fire at for the moment. Cursing to themselves, they try to slink back behind what cover the wall provides. Seems they don't see Jinx below! The Commander of the group roars out, "WE'RE RENRAKU SECURITY FRAGFACE! PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN! IF WE DON'T GEEK YOUR HOOPS, KNIGHT ERRANT OR THE RED SAMURAI WILL!" He pauses, and looks to the flying drone-slash-spirit that is Eva. "Chummer, don't stay here and get killed on our account. Don't give a drek what Corp says. Damn package ain't worth i...eh?" The Commander switches frequencies. "What the frag do you mean /escaped/!?" Yells the man. Down below, there's a distinct BLAM of gunfire, two shots. Then, silence. ~~Below the Facility~~ Two men look up warily from the gloomy, red-lit bunker beneath the compound. Behind them, rows of jail cells sit. Most are empty. Two others are filled with gleaming red eyes, and flaming bodies, unbroken Hellhounds. But the last one is occupied with something more mortal. A woman is leaning back on a hard metal bench, smirking as she listens to gunfire. Running a hand through her blue hair, she gives a chuckle. "HEEEEYYYY! Renraku dreks! Either of ya got a smoke? I dyin' here! C'mon, be a chum!" One of the guards turns to the woman. Slowly, he walks over. "If it'll get you to shut the frag up, fine!" Reaching into his pocket, he looks away just long enough. With speed granted by her elvish heritage, and the cybernetic hands she possesses, she's stolen both the maglock key and the man's gun in a split second. Chomping on the cigarette, she shoots the guard in the gut before doing the same to the second. He doesn't even get to turn around before he slumps over. REaching around the bars, she swipes the card and steps out. Kneeling, she picks up a small tablet-like device. After lighting up, she grins. "Ho, hooo~. It'll do. You've got some /hobbies/, drekhead." Blam! One final shot. "Let's see what's going on outside." ~~ Above the facility ~~ The jets bearing both Knight Errant and UCAS insignia zoom in, targeting their fellows in the sky. Missiles lock on, and seek the heat of the flying drones. Miraculously, one of the jet-drones launched by Fortress veers off course. Control monitors suddenly go pale blue, and three interlocked clockwork symbols appear, spinning. Rather than engage the fighters, it starts to descend. Straight towards the roof of the facility, its guns and a missile firing. The rooftop explodes, leaving our poor snipers quite dead. The drone rather calmly starts to land amidst the carnage. The wireless signal, going unanswered, winks out. The beacon, it appears, is moving to Evangeline's senses, and likely to anyone tracking. Moving, specifically, /UP/! It'd be painfully easy now to find, and open, the hidden door to down below. HTR Arrival: 2 turns.
Victor von Doom	When the Knight Errant and UCAS jets streak in, the three remaining drones break into formation, discharging chaff and flares as they gain altitude, trying to dodge the heat-seekers. One of them isn't quite fast enough, and is clipped in the wing by a rocket. There's no pilot to hit eject, and the drone spirals down to the ground in a ball of flame. The two remaiing open fire on the jets, though they don't fire rockets in return. Instead, the ships let loose with large, pulsating green beams that rip through the air in concussive waves. Apparently, the unexpected hijacking of the fourth drone draws attention of whoever's piloting the landing craft, as the ship quickly diverts in that direction, intending to land just beside the building where the drone has set down. A mass of black-clad figures disembark from the ship's landing ramp, and move for the building. One of the figures is clad in green.
Evangeline	With Jinx running off after...something. Or getting blasted out of the building...Neuroi Girl heads toward the source of the transmissions as well. She is pretty fast when flying, comparable to a jet in flight, but having to turn slows her down whenever she reaches a corner or a pile of crates or something. She takes pot-shots at Metal Man when she can spot him, but when that explosion happens overhead, she heads that way instead. If there is a hole in the roof, she makes her way through it. If not, she fires a beam through the roof and flies through the hole. There, she finds a pair of landed aircraft, and a troop of black things. "...I will not leave these people undefended..." she says, ignoring the commander's advice to get out of here. She raises her sleeve-like arms, then fires on Dr. Doom's lander. She can recognize it easily enough, thanks to the design.
Metal Man	Metal Man is making to move at high speed for a moment, he keeps moing he stops attackin and focuses on moving. "Tell them to bring it." Is MEtal Man's reply he keeps moving trying to get to follow the becon that's what he needs and that's it othe than that? he knows while he could beat the incoming response he might botch the run they are on at this point. So he presses forward.
Miss Clokwerk	As both Metal Man and Evangeline fly towards the source of the beacon, it swiftly becomes obvious just what they're actually here for. Part of the floor pops up, and an elven woman walks out, blowing out cigarette smoke and laughing joyously. "SWEET, SWEET FRAGGING /AIR/ AND MOONLIGHT! HAH HAH HAAAAH, HEEEEEEEY THERE CHUMMERS, MISS CLOKWERK IS BACK IN ACTION!" Screams out the woman. Hopefully Eva has sound dappeners. Whenever the woman moves, so too does the beacon. The remaining soldiers all turn towards her. Clokwerk grins. Before a shot can be fired by the mooks, four of them are missing guns as she shoots them out of their hands. The last one, the Commander, keeps his gun. Click click. Clokwerk frowns. "...Aww frag me!" The Commander laughs. "Happily." Clokwerk dive-rolls back down the fake floor to avoid a burst of gunfire. A moment later, Evangeline would find herself with a partner, as Clokwerk leaps up upon it, and lands upon the drone that's landed, wobbling as she tries to stand upright, empty gun discarded and a tablet in her hand, hooked up to a slot on her head by some cabling. She looks from Evangeline, to Metal Man, to the troops, to the guys in the sky. She points up. "...Sooooo, uhhh, Miss Weird Spirit Drone Thing. First of all: what the frag are /you/!? Second of all, are you guys here to geek me, or rescue me? Sending me mixed signals here chum." The drone starts to take off, and her cybernetic legs try to compensate. It's clearly a bit of work, leaving Evangeline plenty of time to fire on drone or Rigger alike. The drones meet similar success, shooting down a pair of jets, though the remaining ones seem to do quite the job of not getting killed. Chafe destroys most of the missiles, though one intrepid pilot manages to fire directly upon the Zeppelin. On the ground, sirens blare, as those APC's can be seen by those on the ground and in the air. A massive gun on one of the vehicles aims for the flying drones, and shoots four surface-to-air missiles! The black-clad soldiers would find little resistance at this point. Most of the Renraku soldiers are on the ground, clearly surrendering. Luckily, it seems Eva's presence has ensured that they're alive thus far!
Metal Man	Metal Man looks at Miss Clockwerk for a moment. "... The signal's coming from you. We're here to recover you. As for who I am? Metal Man." Sounds like a Runner handle right? He clearly is a Street Sam from the armor and what looks like to be some intergrated weapons from the looks of it. He looks about for a moment as he gives the elf another look. "So shall we get out of here the Drek's already hit the fan."
Evangeline	"...I am not sure what 'geek me' means...but I am not here to rescue you...since it seems you are in league with those who attacked this place...and they are my enemy..." Evangeline says to the elven hacker woman. Then, Evangeline tilts her head. "...you were giving off that signal...did you call for this attack...? ...I could not decode the transmissions...which usually means an enemy encryption..." As the drone starts to rise into the air, Evangeline fires again, this time at the drone carying Clokwerk. "...I am Evangeline...I defend the weak...and fight the corrupt..." she says, even as she fires again. "...I am not sure why the Confederates wish to claim you, but I have found that what they want...is usually not good..."
Miss Clokwerk	"Off...cement shoes...frag.../kill/!" Returns the woman after another puff of smoke. She drops it on the drone, and snuffs out the cigarette. "Drek renraku brand cigs. Need a good cigar." Mutters the woman unhappily. Rubbing the back of her head, she still doesn't shoot Eva. Thus far, at least, the strange creature's not been shooting at her. May as well show professional courtesy here. "Me? Yeah, I guess I did. Still...an /airstrike/? Heh. Didn't know I was worth that much!" She reaches into a pocket, and tosses a spherical object behind her. It hits the ground, and the signal winks out. "The Johnson told me to click that on if I couldn't get out with the data physically. Looks like it was a homing beacon too! Small miracles, huh? Yeah, tried to decode it myself, but when you're stuck in a prison with nothing but a commlink and a half-burnt-out RCC? Tough to decode that. Oh well. Makes for pretty fireworks, huh~." She laughs again. Before she can give the Neuroi a clap on the back, the drone eats laser. "HEY! HEEEEYYY! That's my ride to freedom! Shoot those fragfaces, now me! Now off with you kiddo! Or...whatever you are! I get you've got the Knight Errant bit going for you, and I appreciate it! Trust me, you'd be like some shiney poster...erm...girl...drone...thing for 'em! But that's no reason to stop a perfectly good jailbreak!" The drone, now listing from the damage to it's fuselage, has Clokwerk falling silent as the elf concentrates on keeping it relatively airworthy. It zigs and zags, giving Eva an interestingly erratic target. Yanking out a purloined holdout pistol, she fires a few potshots absent-mindedly at Eva. Little more than .22 caliber, it may not even scratch the woman. Then, she spies a street sam. "OIIIIIII! NICE TO MEETCHA! HOP ON, AND WE'RE OUTTA HERE CHUM! SEEEE YAAA MISS SHINEY! GET SOME SOYKAF TOGETHER, YOU SEEM LIKE A GOOD KID-DRONE-THING!" Then the drone is zooming towards the river, listing and smoking from Eva's attack. Can Metal Man hop on? Will Eva shoot them out of the sky? Just then, the three APC's roll up, and red armored Renraku Red Samurai step out, as well as a small army of steel lynx drones, their large caliber guns already starting to rotate towards the flying drone. Suddenly the odds are in Eva's favor.
Evangeline	"...I am a Neuroi...my name is Evangeline..." Evangeline says in her soft, monotone voice. Then, she fires again, trying to bring the drone down. "...good guys are supposed to stop jailbreaks...unless they are good guys breaking out of jail..." she adds as she keeps firing. She has a bit of trouble hitting the zagging drone, and when any of those .22 bullets get hear her, a blue translucent energy shield flares into existence, a hexagon at a time popping up wherever a bullet hits. "...you were probably not worth that much...but the Confederacy likes to use excessive force..." Evangeline adds, whether the drone is going down or not. Of course, she'd doing her best to make sure it IS going down. Red beams of energy lance out from her sleeve-like arms at regular intervals, and whenever they impact, it results in an explosion which vaporizes at least part of whatever it hits. But, with the airship overhead, Evangeline isn't really expecting to emerge victorious. That won't stop her from trying, though!
Metal Man	Metal Man says "If you seek to fight the croupt, if you seek to protect the week. Then you have found a world in need of it. There's much to do for you. I'm here to get the VIP out. I ain't looking to fight you. I suggest you take a long hard look at what used to be mexcio here." Metal Man "Knight Errant? Right let's move. Soykaf? Miss? How about actual coffee?" Metal Man makes sure to hop on and follow off with the elf.
Miss Clokwerk	Clokwerk looks up at the airship. She looks back to the massive hole in the ceiling she helped cause. Then back to all the dead soldiers. "Ya don't say!? Heh heh heh, I like their style! Match made in heaven, all of that drek!" Pause. Wait. "W...wait. Confederacy? These guys aren't Ares? What the drek's going on? Sounds like a two-bit mafia rip-off!" Cue one confused rigger. A few more flicks on her tablet, and she's somewhat managing to control the thing. Until there's more laser fire. A rather colorful stream of foul language exits her mouth as the drone is now minus one wing from the explosive impact. "If I die here, kiddo, I'm haunting you! FULL ON BANSHEE, WAKING YOU UP AT NIGHT! NOT ONE FRAGGING WINK KIDDO!" Then the drones start firing, and the flying drone loses yet another wing. The body of the flying object is now a falling rock that brushes against the chain-link fence as it aims for the water. "CHOME-FACE IS RIGHT, KIDDO! IF YOU'RE THE CRUSADING GOODIE-GOODIE, YOU'VE GOT A LOOOOT MORE WORK. WHAT THE FRAG'S A NEUROI ANYWA..." SPLASH! Clokwerk doesn't come up for air immediately. Turns out, she's a good swimmer, especially with those cyberlegs. She tries to message her erstwhile companion. "Hope you can swim, Chrome-head~." Eva gets a message herself, very much unencrypted. "Wouldn't stick around kiddo, those Renraku types aren't too nice to things they don't understand. Fun times, would get shot down again~."
Metal Man	Metal Man says to the elf in reply. "Alien mechanoid lifeform. I'll fill you in later." Metal mues darkly the corps here would kill to get htier hands on the AI core of even a low end drone from his world. So away he goes into the water now. He'll make sure that elf doesn't drown, sides he won't rust!
Evangeline	Evangeline is...more than a little confused by the message from Clokwerk, especially after she just shot the drone down and caused it to splash into the water. The messages seems...friendly. Even cheerful. People like getting shot down? Water. One of the few things Neuroi don't like. Evangeline circles above it, looking for signs of the escapee and her accomplice. "...I do not sleep..." Evangeline transmits back to Clokwerk, using the signal of their communications to try and track them. She isn't one to give up easily, but if the locals start shooting, she will have to retreat. Or if the signal goes dark and they show no signs of surfacing. She can't get them underwater.
Miss Clokwerk	Tracking Clokwerk for such an intrepid Neuroi is almost embarrassingly easy. She occasionally comes up for air, managing to dive down before the Neuroi can grab her with assistance from Metal Man. On the other side of the shore might have been her chance. But the night's explosions have set the media hounds to work. She'd soon find twenty drones all around her, snapping pictures, showing live media feeds, and shoving microphones in her metallic face. Speakers on the things as a dozen different corporate news stations jockey for exclusive interview rights for the 'Amazing Drone Girl' as the media has dubbed her harass and utterly get in the way. Welcome to Detroit, Eva. Who knows, you might get on tv or a movie deal at this rate.
Evangeline	Evangeline...stops in mid air as she is surrounded by the media drones. As questions pelt her and cameras flash all around her, she goes very still. She isn't used to attention, let alone -favorable- attention. After a short pause, she starts answering questions in her soft little voice. And being a Neuroi, her patience is just about infinite, as is her energy, so she may sit there all night, answering questions and giving them the poses they ask for. She doesn't know what a 'media circus' is, so she doesn't know that she should avoid them.
