Friday
Well my second time out in the wilderness, if I ever meet my supervisor again I will show them the indignities I have gone through. So we were meant to be talking to some significant people from the bunker fortitude resistance group, it all went a bit wrong as we were getting ready as they appeared saying they were in trouble.
Apparently 2 of our military were already out there and had not waited for the rest of us and despite my telling them I do not do house calls they all charged into the front line then rolled around with bullet holes shouting Medic! Medic! This meant that me yes me who does not do house calls was now in the front line getting shot. I think maybe some more training for our soldiers possibly?
We made it through and I spoke to a lovely person from bunker fortitude, Dr Anita Forbes who told me about the hive infecting people through their ammunition rather than the needle things on their fingers. This gave me a glimmer of an idea: could we develop specialist nanites to defend against these infectious nanites. Went to bed thinking about this.
Saturday
Went out to volunteer for the first mission and found out I was not required so went back to the lab and started making some notes about nanites as an ammunition source.
Was called out for second mission in which we discovered a rad zone it was that nasty Alpha stuff, you need a minimal amount of protection for it but interestingly found some plants in the middle of it all growing, might have some interesting properties I mean surviving in a rad zone is a little spectacular and worth investigating, me and the scientist gathered some samples for more investigation.
Got proof of the hive using ammunition to infect our soldiers as we were hit by a weapon, a quick dose of our nanites solved this, but you need to get to patient quickly within 30 seconds of being hit, note to soldiers command, they seemed more awake on this mission but still not quite getting the idea of no house calls.
Lots of evidence of fortitude personnel suffering from bad supplies and rad poisoning (vomit with beta radiation). Also evidence of people being snatched by hive for conversion.
Eventually we Castellan Kincaid, will admit Bureaucrat Sally Fields seems to have a done fantastic job of talking to him, he told us he would go away and do a lot of thinking.
Got a rest and was then ordered out on a mission led by Engineering Councilor member Vasili. This mission scared the willies out of me. An ancient I understand to mean I was very scared
First off I have to congratulate Vasili on organizing our soldiers and reinforcing the no house calls policy and our soldier learned to fire and maneuver as well.
We met some tribal people who seemed very friendly they were wearing a strange symbol on them so I was told they could be under psychic control, we stunned one so i took some scans.
It was just after this things got weird, I heard my name shouted out but everyone claims they did not do it, people were claiming scratches but there were no marks on anyone for the injuries claimed. People were also claiming to be pushed with no one doing it, it was then someone decided to tell me that “this is how they start messing with you” whatever that means.
It was just after this we met the priest, again Vasili held us together as a group. There was more weird stuff happening, the entire group started to hear a heartbeat, as this started we came across the a priest enduring us to meet with the white lady, to join them in worshiping her and encouraging us to drink the water from the well they had found. The heartbeat turned into laughter and for some strange reason I did not want to hurt the priest, not even to get a sample. We could now hear someone shouting all kinds of things but with no source to it, something changed and it was then I noticed the staff being carried by priest now had an eerie light to it then suddenly he was not such a nice person so our soldiers opened fire on him considering the all the shenanigans that had been going on.
I managed to get several scans and given that his genetic make up was unstable due to them drinking C7 from the well. At this point no one was going to stop me taking samples of bone marrow and blood to study that genetic make up some more. Padd scans attached.
It was shortly after this our soldiers went a little crazy. I decided I needed to study my padd and make sure I was well out of the way.
We then headed back home, we encountered heavy resistance on the way home several people with sniper rifles and other arms, luckily our training and the med box pulled us through, it was just as we were getting out I suffered an injury to my right calf. Although I applied nanites they did not seem to help, which I found very odd as they certainly should have. I applied more ‘archaic’ backup medical techniques to get myself mobile and less of a sitting duck.
I managed to look at the people attacking us and it turned out to be a very big mix, Tribal, Fortitude personal and some one from ascendant.
Sadly the injury to my leg meant I was forced to return to the bunker but I have agreed to accompany Castellan Kincaid to Bunker Fortitude, it sounds like they need basic medical care in the most dire of ways, I am hoping to work with Anita Forbes to get them to a similar level as the ascendancy.
