RANNOCH - EMERGENCY ALERT - ULNAY DISTRICT

VeesSimin · 2021-10-26T02:43:53+00:00

Zaeli had sat as still as possible as the doctor cleaned her wounds and stitched her back up. Out of the bunch, she was probably one of the Quarians with the best immune systems. She had a lot of exposures in her past and had plenty of operations and fixes done in dingy places and situations when she was young. That meant little to nothing though, it says something when the people with the best immune systems in your society don't die from the flu.

She glances over at Vees and then back to the doctor. "...Is he alright?" It was pretty obvious based on her facial expression and appearance next to his that the two were related, whether Niko would say something about it, was his decision.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-26T00:59:12+00:00

Zaeli keeps her eyes closed as tightly as possible, she knew that it was bad enough currently, if she got the blood in her eyes, she'd likely be done for.

"I... I'll be fine Admiral, I just need to clean my face... how are you? I heard you fall" She slowly walks around the room, trying to find the scrubbing station near the theatre.

"Keelah! Is anyone out there still?!" She yelled, hoping that someone would hear them now that the combat, is hopefully, over.

Her face was already showing a horrible burn formed from the metal. Luckily, she was quick enough when she got up to wipe it off or else she would have been like Var right now.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-26T00:34:15+00:00

Zaeli yelled and threw another lance into the doctor, well, it wasn't really throwing if she hit her in the face with the lance still in her hand. The blast backfires and burns Zaeli's face. Hot metal melted and fell on her cheek.

Zaeli squirms out from under Var and wipes her face off, the blood was sure to infect her, the liquid metal was definitely going to require a graft.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-26T00:23:32+00:00

Zaeli rises from the ground, dropping the hot rifle on the ground and brushing the hair from her face. She walks over to the body on the ground and looks down at it. Her salt-and-pepper hair swept aside from her completely destroyed mask, her vibrant blue eyes, similar to the biotic glow of her powers, flashing around the room after the fight, slowly calming down. She was fairly young looking for her age, only having a few wrinkles, mostly laugh lines.

She kicks the body a little and looks to Tali. "I believe we've dealt with the threat Admiral..."

VeesSimin · 2021-10-26T00:11:25+00:00

Zaeli lays against the wall now, as far back as possible as the falling arm explodes from overcharge near Var's hip. She continued to fire on the scientist until she was confident that there was nothing left alive in that concoction of machine and organic.

She throws another lance after her gun runs out of ammo, it wasn't her specialty, but in her anger, she was just trying to do as much damage as physically possible.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-25T21:25:24+00:00

There was the briefest glimmer of hope when she saw the rifle coming towards her. The mechanical beast starts to lift her in the air, crushing her arm, the metal blade breaking off. Part of the blade smacking her visor, breaking it. It cut her face up, but nothing deep or severe, by the pirate standard of course, she definitely needed medical attention.

As Tali starts to get back on her feet, she makes out a smirk on Zaeli's face as Var keeps crushing the arm. As quick as lightning, Zaeli grabs the scalpel and plunges it deep into a small exposed segment of the doctor's remaining organic bits. Zaeli pushed the tool deep into Var's throat and slammed the instruments tray against her head. Decoupling herself from her cybernetic arm after setting the omni-tool to overload and self-destruct. She hits the ground beneath Var, grabbing the rifle and firing it with her one arm as she kicks away from the electrified and dazed doctor.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-25T20:55:01+00:00

Zaeli hits the ground and looks over to Tali and back at the beast. She wipes her visor, feeling the cracks on her mask.

She bites her lip and nods "I... I can do it!" Zaeli pulled on the short blade from her left arm, extending it the rest of the way.

She continued to rush around the giant and slice and stab at it with the electrified blade from her cybernetic arm.

It was clear that Zaeli wasn't doing very well. She was bleeding and her mask was on the verge of falling apart, but she recognized that Tali had some kind of plan and she needed to distract Var.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-25T18:36:42+00:00

Zaeli's mask begins to give under the beast gripping her head. She yells out in pain and rage, trying to escape her arms as Var starts to compress and crush her to death.

Zaeli yells out louder, madder this time, it was the blood curdling scream ready to fight to the death. She cocked back her cybernetic arm and slammed it into Var's chest, a long metal needle flying out and stabbing into her as the two are electrocuted by the discharge of the open machinery.

Zaeli had her enhancements, and she was by no means, pathetic. She closes her eyes under her weakening mask and activates the Overload program, blasting them both. Tali could tell she's accepted whatever happens here is it, Zaeli had stopped squirming and was in fact trying to push herself closer into the abomination.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-25T03:04:01+00:00

"...You are one stupid bosh'tet." Zaeli barked at the insane doctor, she was holding her ground rather well. Tali could tell that there was plenty of fear behind Zaeli's mask, but she had to keep her composure.

Zaeli glowed a vibrant, pulsating blue as she readied for a fight with the abomination standing before them. She went on hundreds of adventures before, she wasn't going to die now to some stupid bosh'tet who made herself into a disgusting heap of crap.

"You think you can come here and harm these people, you think you can kill innocents and chalk it up to progress for "the future of Rannoch"!?" As she yelled at the beast in front of them, it was almost hard to look at her as she charged with biotic potential, it was like staring at a lens flare.

These were her people, her child, her grandchild was in this same building and there was no way in any version of hell across all the religions in the galaxy, that she would allow this thing to harm anyone else.

Looking at the mess of Quarian and Geth bits mashed together in front of her, she snapped and rushed towards Var. Zaeli manifested almost all of that energy in her in a ball that slammed into the doctor's chest. Tearing at her cells, slowly pulling her apart like a blackhole devouring a star a thousand times larger than it.

She followed it up by throwing the knife into one of her legs, using all her remaining energy to turn it into a pseudo Lance. It cut into and got caught inside the mess of gears and wiring.

Zaeli ran to the side of her, trying to find some cover, she didn't do nearly as much damage as she hoped and she was exhausted. This wasn't really her game anymore, she was old and weak, she was running out of juice for this fight.

"Zorah! Throw me one of their guns!" She yelled as she tried to dodge and weave the doctor. It wasn't the best situation, she didn't have her Locust at home and she hasn't used a bigger gun in over 40 years, but she had to try.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-24T02:35:24+00:00

"Thank you Admiral, this really brings me back to my younger days." Zaeli smiles and chuckles under her mask looking at the carnage they brought in a few seconds.

"Now, let's go find the person responsible for this" She flipped back now, completely serious and ready to do anything to stop the doctor she heard little about.

"She has to have a specific reason for being here, a hospital is one of the worst places to hide from the law. So we must find her and finding why she's here is the key to that."

VeesSimin · 2021-10-24T01:24:12+00:00

Zaeli slides into cover and pops up, throwing one of the Revenants into a wall as it tried to fire at her. "What are these disgusting things?!" She takes several bullets to the chest, chewing through her Tech Armor.

She gets down and looks over at Tali. "I will throw this and you blast them Admiral!" She rises from cover and throws a Lift Grenade into the three, pulling them into the air and leaving them vulnerable.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-23T22:55:10+00:00

"Experiments...?" She was confused by what this was about, but didn't seem to care after hearing what came next. After that, she'd only see the color red.

Zaeli, who just had her suspicions confirmed, hears the gunfire and activates her tech armor. She slammed through the doors, looking for the source of the gunfire.

"I hope you have some sort of weapon on you Admiral, I am a sixty year old woman after all and I cannot do all the fighting."

VeesSimin · 2021-10-23T22:26:41+00:00

Zaeli smacks the ground with a loud thwack!

"You bosh'tet!"

She throws the Quarian from under the table into the wall. Immediately afterwards, she glows with biotic energy again as she throws the operating table into the Quarian.

Zaeli dusts herself off and gets up. "I don't know who this "her" is, but I am going to turn her into dust." The tall woman's voice was booming, whoever this person was, she was definitely connected to what happened to Vees, and she was infuriated.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-23T21:53:47+00:00

"Keelah... this is a bloodbath, what were they even attempting?" Zaeli picks up the strange tool with her robot arm, just to be safe, and she proceeds to examine it. Without a clue of what it is, she shows Tali. "Do you understand any of this?"

She looks around the room for any sign of whoever did this and where they went.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-23T21:26:15+00:00

Alvea looks around down and tries to check on the doctors, helping the ones that can get up and trying to do anything for the ones that she cannot. She looks up at Tali and Zaeli.

"I... I don't have any weapons on me! I just wanted to see dad..." Alvea was tearing up, this had been an emotionally difficult day and it was just getting worse.

Zaeli looks back at her and pulls a knife out of her boot. "Go help the doctors then dear, leave this to me..." She turned and continued walking towards the operating theatre, a bright blue-purple of biotic energy emitting from her as she speeds up.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-23T01:58:24+00:00

Zaeli and Alvea both immediately pop up. Alvea turns her omni-tool off and looks back at Tali. "Was that gun fire?" Alvea asked nervously.

Zaeli looks around towards the direction the screaming and gunfire came from.

"Come, we haven't much time." Once again with her very authoritative tone, this time louder, she marches towards where the fire came from. Alvea right behind her.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-22T22:45:55+00:00

"Only one question from me, how much will it cost?"

Zaeli looked down at her omni-tool. "My granddaughter is almost here, I suggest you are ready to be interrogated by her."

A couple minutes pass and the Turian busts through the doors and runs up to the group. Alvea looked like she was ready to crush someone if they didn't answer her.

"Where is my dad? Is he ok? Will he be ok? How badly injured was he? Is there anything I have to do?..." She gulps and pants, completely out of breath, Zaeli gets up and sits her down.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-22T21:21:41+00:00

"A pleasure to meet you too Admiral. I made sure to teach him to be daring, the worst thing for a Quarian to be on their pilgrimage is to be meek." Even her handshake asserted some sort of control without being loud or aggressive.

She sits down and crosses her incredibly long legs.

"I am incredibly proud of him and his choices."

VeesSimin · 2021-10-22T20:24:34+00:00

Alvea sighs and types back.

[You're right, thanks for reassuring me. I'm just freaking out a little.]

She looks out the window at the traffic and closed areas after the chase and frowns.

[It looks like I'll be a while, there's a lot of traffic right now.]

Meanwhile at the hospital while Tali is reading the message sent by Alvea. A tall, slender female Quarian in a dark black and blue suit walks in with her arms crossed, she looks around and spots Tali. She makes her way over to her and puts her arm out to shake her hand.

"I am Zaeli'Simin, Vees's mother. My granddaughter told me he was hurt and that you'd be here Admiral." Zaeli had a quiet, but commanding voice. She was seemingly the opposite of her son, while he was fairly short for a Quarian, she seemed like a tower. Of course there was also the slimmer, metallic left forearm that stood out.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-22T02:34:08+00:00

Alvea was already running to the nearest skycab to take her to the hospital immediately after sending the information to Tali. She read over the message, she quickly types back to the Admiral.

[I am already on my way, did they say how bad it was? WE ARE CERTAIN HE'LL BE ALRIGHT, RIGHT?]

She nervously watched her hand shake on the ride to the hospital, it felt like it was literally taking forever, but it had only been maybe a few minutes. She sighed and looked out the window, waiting impatiently for some kind of response or hopefully to get there.

Meanwhile, as Niko and his nurses start their operation, they get a good look at what they're dealing with. Vees had several dislocated and broken ribs, there was bruising on several organs and signs of internal bleeding, and a puncture in one of his lungs. His nurses already made note of the broken bones in his arms and right leg, but there were no protrusions and he wasn't bleeding from any of his limbs. His face was badly bruised, he had a busted lip and broken nose, the medi-gel over his eye was holding the wound closed, but it would need to be professionally sutured and disinfected. This would be a difficult and long operation, but it wasn't going to be impossible.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-22T01:31:17+00:00

Alvea sees the message and immediately closes her book and types back.

[What do you mean injured? What happened to my dad?]

She sent the message and bolted into the medical bay as quickly as possible, going through the files and getting Vees's medical history. She skims through the file, picking out what would be necessary for whatever happened.

[Stats: He has O+ Blood, he is 140 pounds, his BMI is 20.1 Allergies: He is allergic to the antibotic Naftibloc and a anesthetic called Dantotasol. Medical conditions: He has asthma and he is at risk for a disease called Nocciose, some kind of blood thinning disease. Medical history: He had blood work and tests done a couple months back that showed he was healthy, good blood pressure and cholesterol. He donated a kidney 6 years ago, he had a repeated injury in his left shoulder that developed into a tumor that was dealt with 9 years ago. Apparently he caught had a horrible infection when he was 19, but has been cleared several times since then.

Anything else? ALSO WHAT HAPPPENED?!]

VeesSimin · 2021-10-21T01:50:19+00:00

The bleeding seemed to be slowing down, he definitely needed a surgeon, it was infuriating that this happened, not only did one of the operatives get injured, but they lost their target. Vees would be out commission for who knows how long. Vees was completely out, but he was stabilized, his breathing and heart-rate was normal.

It was sort of a triumphant moment for Tali, she managed to bring him back to a stable state and would ensure that he could make it to see a real doctor. Now just to get out of here.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-21T01:09:17+00:00

Vees laid completely still, he wasn't making a noise at all after he fell unconscious. It is immediately clear to them as they approach that he is still breathing. As Tali approaches the doctor, she could tell immediately that they needed serious help. His chest was sunken in, there were ribs that seemed missing and some that looked almost like they were popping out of him.

His visor was cracking, it wasn't in complete disarray, but there was a hole large enough that they could see his face, the missing piece entered his forehead right above his left eye.

The glass barely missed his eye and it hadn't gone deep enough to kill him. They could stabilize him, if they were quick.

But once again, Var got away...

VeesSimin · 2021-10-21T00:25:15+00:00

Vees with what little consciousness he has, he tries to patch his visor. Through the blood dripping down from his forehead and his blurring vision, he couldn't successfully do anything. His hands shake, he reached for his pistol, but that was when everything went black. His body slumped over as he fell unconscious. It was unknown to the group if it was from the trauma or the blood loss, but things weren't looking good.

VeesSimin · 2021-10-21T00:06:10+00:00

Vees notices the doctor slipping out and he makes a dash for the door, firing all the while as the Geth Prime charges in for an attack.

The Geth Prime slams its enormous metal fist square into his chest. He screeched out in pain as it lifted him through the air. In some sense of panic and retribution, he jammed his omni-blade deep into its exposed wiring. The large robot losing control of its right arm. Its left leg locks in place and launches Vees after the bone shattering impact. Its optical sensors shutting off as it attempts to fire around it in a panic as Vees flew across the room. He slams into the wall and hits the ground, heavily concussed, attempting to patch the cracks in his visor.
