IC: Matrix Misfits, Silly Slamm-O, Trix is for Otaku Options

[Dashifen]

Rick prefers either his own shoe leather or a good taxi to Ed's junker. He gathers up a couple of changes of cloths, grabs his walking staff/club and calls for a cab. When the taxi arrives he gives the driver the address before hunkering down in the back to think about what he's going to do for a week. At least I don't need to haul my deck around like Ed.

[Lindt]

Ed ponders the mans question, relizing what it means. While Ed has gone under the laser before, and in truth fairly often compaired to his house mates, hes not that convinced with this guy. "Yeah, its when you add biologicly matched grey matter to the umm..." Eds smart ass retort breaks down as he talks way over his lines of understanding. "Its supposed to make you smarter I guess"

[Grey]

"Exactly. Now, if any of you are concerned about getting the procedure, don't be. I assure you that I am the best qualified doctor within the sprawl. I've done many of these operations before."

[Dashifen]

Rick's eyes narrow a bit, "Can you give us any information about who order these operations?"

[Grey]

The Doctor smiles, reaches into his labcoat and pulls out a p-sec with a red X on the back. He then puts it away, figuring that would answer the question. "Any other questions before we get started?"

[Shockwave_IIc]

"How long will it take? And How many times have you done this is kids like us?"

[ Spoiler ]

Posting on a Sunday Grey? most unlike you :P

[Grey]

"It should take about a week. As far as your age, it won't be a problem. Its bioware, so it will grow with you as you age."

[ Spoiler ]

Yeah, the wife isn't being as needy this weekend. ;)

[Raiko]

Karl looks around and grins, "Well, at least I can catch up on my sleep while I'm here."

[Grey]

He gives you all an expectant look, eyebrows arched.

"So, if there aren't anymore questions, please follow me and we'll get you started."

[Shockwave_IIc]

Still didn't answer my Question Mo thinks after hearing his reply, Messing with my brain... What happens if i can no longer hear the Deep Resonance?? Mean what can i do if i can't live the matrix?

Those who look at her while she is thinking this may notice that her grey/ yellow skin getting paler, and a sheen appearing on her skin as she starts to sweat.

[Grey]

"Miss, are you ok? Perhaps we should get you in here and get pre-op going and see whats wrong?"

[Dashifen]

Rick thinks to himself, The intelligence boost would be nice. Plus, eventually I'm going to have to start thinking about what I'm going to be doing with my life after the Fading. he shudders a moment before looking up at the Doc. "I'm in. Just be sure that a Cerebral Booster is all that you put inside of me, though. Where should we put our stuff?"

[Lindt]

Ed is pleased at the offer as an offer, but isnt all that pleased with how it has been carried out. But seeing the P-Sec does put his mind to something closer to ease. "Ok, Im in. How long will it be between the surgery and when we can get back on the 'trix?"

[Grey]

"I'll have a closet for you to store your gear. Once you are awake and active again after the proceedure, you should be able to go back online right away. If you'll follow me?"

He moves to the door he entered the room from and holds it open for you. The hallway beyond leads into a large surgery room with four tables. All kinds of medical equipment fill the room and it all has a look of SOTA.

[Lindt]

Ed whistles in spite of him self, impressed, but quickly bites it back. "Everyone at once? Must have a big staff to do that. Or that stuff is more wiz then it looks. Either way, show me to pre-op doc." Ed smirks again.

[Grey]

"The first part of the proceedure will be done by myself, its mostly working in the lab. Once I am ready for the op, my nurse will be here to assist me. Go ahead and stash your gear in that room there for now."

Turning to Mo, the Doctor says, "Miss, if you could climb up onto this table here, I'd like to get a look at you first."

[Shockwave_IIc]

Her breathing getting shallow as she slowly follows the others to the other room. Blinking a couple of times to try and get her vision back as it starts to narrow, Seeing the doctor speak but not hearing his words she puts a hand towards the table not to climb up but to try to steady herself as she start's to wobble, the last thought that goes through her mind is Why is he getting taller.....

[Grey]

The Doc rushes over and scoops Mo up as she passes as, then sets her down on the table with a grace that you'd not have guessed he had in him. He quickly runs a Bioscanner over her small form and sighs, "She'll be fine. I've had patents get nervous and passout before. The rest of you go ahead and find a table and we'll get started."

[Lindt]

Ed sees Mo fall, and dives to help the doctor pick her up again. "What the hell is going on here? She gonna be ok?"
Ed has always know that shes not the most healthy person, down right sickly really, but Ed has always taken the role of the physical grunt of the misfits, even though he is much younger then the more senior members.

[Grey]

@Mo, Thor, and Maelstorm

The Matrix lays out before you in all its glory and things just make since to you. You can see all the RTGs, LTGs, Nodes, and Users going about their daily operations and the world is whole. But then someone starts to become clear. Things aren’t right. Something is wrong.

One by won they become apparent, twisted Nodes. They don’t make any sense to you what-so-ever, but you know that things aren’t going to be the same for the matrix much longer. The Nodes comes together, one by one. There are thousands of them and you are afraid…

@Ed

You are afraid too…

A voice comes to you, like the vocals of God it reaches inside of you and is all consuming. “The Deep Resonance does not want you, it turned its back on you… But I won’t. I see you and I will set you free…”

In the depths of your mind, an old jealousy comes haunting you again. Why didn’t the Resonance talk to you? Sure, you have your deck and can run the matrix like the best of them, but you’ve never had the true freedom of the Otaku. Is this the key?

@All

The world and reality slowly creeps back in on you as your eyes flutter open. You are staring up at the ceiling that is lined with white lights. Its takes you a minute to realize where you are, until you hear a voice, “Ah, you are all up. Good. You’ll be happy to know that things went perfectly.”

[Shockwave_IIc]

Skwinting her eyes at the harshness of the lights Mo, slow feels herself for cables and drips before she slowly sits up. Sitting there cross legged on the table she looks about the room. seeing the others getting up of the tables and making thier own way to their gear, mo slides carefully of the table. As her feet touch the cold floor she gives out a quite hiss of suprise. Seeing a clean surgical tool she picks it up and starts to look at herself in it's reflection, shrugging she puts it down and turns to the first person she see's, but really notice as to who it is. The words "I had a dream" escaping her lips as she does so.

[Lindt]

Ed wakes in a cold sweat. He looks at the others now recovering. What the hell was that all about... Someone, something other then the Resonance? Could it be my second chance? Or just another drug induced hallucination...Just another dream Ed climbs down from the table "Dammit thats COLD" he shouts as his feet hit the tile floor. He stops for a second, notices the draft, and pulls the sheet off the bed and wraps it around him, hating the hospital style jonnys that let his ugly ork ass hang out for the world to see.
Ed shuffles to the closet where the other seem to be congregrating, and puts the dream out of his head for the moment, dismissing it as just another post medical brain fart. Then he notices the looks of, disturbment on his associates. "You guys don't look so hot..." he remarks off hand, and drags his bag out, realizing there isn't a place up sit thats not stainless steel, or cold and sterile.

[Grey]

A nurse who looks like she is right out of a german concentration camp brings out a box and sets it down. "Your clothes", is all she says before turning to leave.

[Dashifen]

Rick gets up and shakes his head a bit. I doesn't feel too different. He runs through some quick calculations and it doesn't seem like his brain is moving any faster. And what the hell was that dream?

Hopping down onto the floor, he snorts when Ed complains about the temperature. Moving towards his stuff, he redons his clothing without a shred of modesty. Years as a vagabond moving from Sweeden to Seattle resulted in many a situation where he was forced to change in front of others and it doesn't really both him anymore.

Looking into the mirror, he notices that his head has been shaved and there's a scar already healing. Feeling a little dizzy, and hoping that his hair will eventually grow back over the scar, he turns to Mo and says, "So did I, but I don't think we should talk about it here."

[Lindt]

Ed hears the wiff of conversation while dodging the nazi-nurse. He walks over with a pair of pants that don't seem to belong to anyones here. "You guys too? The dream I mean?" Ed shivers nervously, and collects his belongings and heads to the bathroom to change.
