Mission: Bad Science Saves the Day

Date & Time: Mid-Day, 3310 | Present Day June 14th-16th
Location: Andersfeld, in the (far former) state of Alaska. (Also known at one time as Anchorage, Alaska.) | Back in Exsilium, those manning the Transport Pads, or working on developing the antibiotics and administering them to the ill throughout the city. Yet others will need to hop-scotch through time gathering sufficient supplies to save lives.
Characters: Volunteers to alter medical research, people working on antiobiotic cures, people distributing appropriate cures, and those who are doing minor missions into the past to retrieve adequate supplies to treat the sick in the present.
Summary: Transports are asked to help save tens of thousands of lives, first by traveling two years into the past and altering scientific research. Second, by helping with the manufacture and development of antibiotics or other cures, once the mission is complete. Third, by distributing the cure to the affected parties. Fourth, by going on pointed supply missions solo, or with up to two other people, in order to get enough supplies to save people in the present.

Whatever your character decides to do, the weight of saving lives is on their shoulders, unasked, and perhaps unwelcome. What will they do when faced with this decision?

Warnings: Illness. Freezing cold. Possible death. Drunken scientists.

In Andersfeld, the snow falls in thick, fat flakes, winds blowing in gusts up to 60 kph. Everyone is bundled up against the weather. Spirits are generally low, if not outright alcoholic. Safety lines and lights guide those brave enough to venture outdoors from building to building.

For the Transports with a six hour window to alter a future that will kill over a hundred thousand people in three weeks, it's a dangerous and necessary bravery.

In Exsilium, the success of the mission to Andersfeld is felt as soon as scientists notice the virus responding to antibiotic treatments. It becomes a race to finding the most effective means of combating the now bacterial infection, and of mass producing any working cure for distribution.

Some help with the production.

Others hurry to cart the supply out to the places hit most heavily. Yet others work directly with administering the antibiotics, in most cases, via an IV line. Those less heavily affected will be granted ridiculously large antibiotic pills, needing to be coaxed down spasming throats.

Those who need action, or who are no good with the sick, are asked to make countless small trips through time to secure the supplies needed to produce enough of the cure to save the tens of thousands who are ill but not yet deceased.

And for those too ill to assist, now is the time to rest, heal, and get better. In a world like this, one never knows what surprise might next lie in wait. The Transports and the Initiative have thwarted total disaster for now.

Mostly.

[Claudia jumps, not expecting someone to sneak up on her like that. She curses herself for being off her game like this but, well, being sick with a deadly virus will do that to you. She recognizes that voice, though, and she can't help but smile and chuckle as she turns to look at him. She takes in his own hooded, sweat drenched face and mutters conspiratorially right back.]

Hello pot. I'm kettle, how's it going?

Checking the state of how black things are.

[he's this close to winking at her, though he manages to refrain. instead, his gaze cuts away from her to the rest of the room. most are preoccupied, which is good. it'll give them the chance they need. he cocks his head like come with me before stepping out of her personal space.]

[Claudia grins at him, having to fight to keep from laughing. Kirk you have just gained levels in cool and she didn't even think that was possible. She catches his look and nods, glancing around quickly before following him.]

[he leads her around the back of the group, around those clearly healthy and worked up and ready to jump into the mission. he doubts anybody will try to stop them, judging from how geared the Initiative is to get involved.

regardless, Jim has crept around enough times to know how to get through these things with minimal incident. it's this way that he ducks behind one of the busier employees and pluck two suits from the wall.]


Have you worn a Hazmat before?

[Claudia follows, keeping an eye out for anyone who might try to stop them. She's pretty good at sneaking around, herself. Of course being short and skinny as a rail makes that easier but hey she's not going to complain.

She has to admit it's thrilling to be lead on a mission by Kirk. Seriously if Jinxy or Pete could see her now they would be so jelly! She is totally ready to follow this man into battle. Her eyes run over those suits and she shrugs]


Kind of? I've worn something like it, at least.

[stepping aside and further away from the people in charge, he hands her one of the suits with a sly sort of smirk]

Then you know how to get into one. [with one more glance around, he starts getting dressed himself.] From the sound of it, where we're going, we really won't want to take them off.

[She returns that sly smile as she takes the suit]

Yeah. Bringing this thing to the past is not on my list of things to do today. [pause] Come to think of it... going to the past generally isn't on my to-do list. This is just a day of firsts, isn't it?

[She chuckles, covering her mouth as it turns to coughing. Once that subsides she pulls her shoulder bag off and sets it gently on the ground before pulling on the suit]
