*Shaking head at OT*
We're going to have a reckoning...

*Turns to Verv*

What do you mean by we're?

OT and I. I'm not a fan of brainwashing.

Can't say I know too much about that.

Say do you by chance remember when the other you but a information eating daemon in my head?

It's been really helpful.

OOC I don't quite remember what it dose, beside up intellect.

*Marla from workshop *

Yes, she's generating steam like a small old fashioned pressie engine.

[Benny nods and looks sad] I thought our bird gods were more enlightened than to do something like that.
[Toes start wiggling independently] My guest's having fun with this.

OOC: Ups mental processing speed, hurts memories (because it's slowly leaching them off), and ups intellect.

BIC:
Oh? What is he... saying? How is he?

[Benny tilts head]: ...it's a bit like having a curious toddler in the back of the car. He wants to look at everything and learn about it all. But sometimes he goes quiet, and comes back with something I'd long forgotten. [Looks thoughtful] Though he is a lot more respectful of what he rummages through since I got upset.
He didn't like the fighting very much at all. Though it was nice not being on my own when I was unconscious.

He's great helped me figure out a few thing, driving took him a while to teach me but he got it done.

Tho I have been forgetting thing every now and then.

*Looks at Benny*

O woops, guess we got two resident daemons.

*Creaks back*

I need a drink.

*Nods*
That sounds about right. Have you been having any issues? Flashbacks, headache, nausea, strange dreams?

*Manticore, Griffon, and a Chimera Warjack all stare intently at where OT went*
He will pay for his actions...

[Looks over but doesn't raise objections]

*Iosan army begins to assemble outside the Room*

*OT steps up to Verv*

OT: Brainwashing you say? I'm afraid you've been misinformed. The knight thought his order had more honor than it did.
I showed him their true colors. If you'd like to attack me for that then let it wait... we've got a friend in need of rescue

[Stands up] You held someone and tormented them until they gave in to your point of view. Whether or not you agreed with their thoughts, that is brainwashing!
It's also fething inhumane; should know, I've witnessed it enough.

*OT shoulders slump*

You don't think I know what I did? *Straightens up with defiant looks in his eyes* I did what I had to.
If you hate me for the rest of your life then so be it. But given the chance to do it over again I would make the same choices.

Now, I'm going to kill that thing Death wants dead. If you'll have me then great. Otherwise I'll go alone.
*Turns to go before saying softly* And please... don't punish Morrigan and Quetz like you do me... they did not know.

*steps up next to OT*
I may not agree with what you did, and you and I will have a reckoning later about that. But I will assist you for now.
*Iosan army is still assembling outside*

You have no right to restrain somebody against their will and force your point of view upon them. That's brainwashing and torture at the very least. However, because the eradication of existential threats prevails, I will assist you.

OOC: OT dun screwed up

OT: I'm not arguing this point further right now. Get on the shuttle while I round my crew up

When you're back, then. [Sits back down] ..have fun. Or don't. [Shrugs] [Stares at wall]

*Marla waves*

I don,t get involved in fights vs gods and monsters of this scale.
Such is not wise. However you do have the auto doc system being loaded and is fully programmed to heal any combat wounded avatar.

Also comes with a teleport and full set of homer bracelets.
Come back safe. Il guard the room for you.

Also.. *looks stern* what you did to that knight. You destroyed a mans entire past and brainwashed him. I thought you where better than that OT

*space wolves grumble about dishonour and walk off to hall leaving there shuttles engines cold and locked*
W

OT: Thank you Marla. Now! Ra! Punch it!

*Shuttle blasts off*

*Guardsman drags Marla back towards the Repressor*
Come on dear, leave them to it. I want to show you how my healing is progressing.

Well then I better see how you have recovered. Medically of course! *laughs, pretends to resist and hits the hatch close lever as pulled in*

*Whispering curses at OT*
Blue goo... fething time machine... ripped apart by... soul destruction...

*Guardsman whispers something in Marla's ear before we disappear into the Repressor*
*pats Verviedi on the shoulder*
Hold, you may vent your rage soon enough.

*marla giggles and the doors lock tightly*'

[Watches shuttle leave] [Rolls over on sofa and stares into space]

[Benny wobbles out of infirmary looking cheerful and leaning on Kimmy's shoulder] [Sees Yarrick]: Why didn't you go with them?

[Yarrick rolls to face away]

[Benny shambles over]: You smell like stale coffee and unwashed clothes. ...Is that the start of a beard? What happened to you?

[Yarrick mumbles and waves hand]

[Benny looks around for answers]

*Shuttle lands on a distant planet*

*Scowls*
Let's get this over with.
