Lin Xiao-Mei Best to go with the usual alias. "Lin Xiao-Mei. So you guys weren't sent by him, huh?" She says with a sigh, finding it hard to hide her disappointment. "Well, thanks, I guess." She lets her mutant arm turn back into a normal arm. So far, this doesn't feel like a ruse or another bizarre experiment. Too indirect with how Wukong's been treating her so far. The guy's story sounds a bit suspect still, but if they want to wreck poo poo all over Wukong, well. Let's see where this is going before she bails on them. "Fuckers just jumped on me all of a sudden. I don't even know how long they shoved me in that tank, but I swear it felt like forever. Really awful, too." She stretches her limbs, which makes the torn sleeves, laser-precise cuts, and frayed leggings in her jumpsuit readily apparent. It doesn't look like she did any of that to herself. "Who you 'extracting' here? Are you guys, like, special forces or something?" TurninTrix posted:

Leticia "Freeing an experiment might not be the best of ideas. Let's hope whatever her bloody monster arm is supposed to be is not contagious." Leticia shrugs. "Anyways, if you try something stupid, we kill you, got it?" quote:Leticia Durden

Lin Xiao-Mei "Hey, I just I want out. You guys do your shadowrun poo poo, I'm just here for the ride." Xiao-Mei smiles gently at the Akathar. She probably studies her a little more closely than she could, never seen a grey this close up before. Cool. "Also, I don't think I'm contagious. I mean, it just comes out through instinct and stuff. I guess?"

Aidan Frost Oh joy. Another eldritch abomination just got pulled into their group. Great. At least she has a sharp pointy thing that she can create from her arm, that could be useful. "C'mon ladies. The faster the better here. We got poo poo to be here." Aidan looks back and gives the new girl a look, a very intense, examining look. A look that says "watch yourself pal". quote:Concept: Punk-rear end Eldritch Demigod

Leticia "What the hell is 'Shadowrun'? Argh, nevermind, let's just get the hell outta here. We got enough evidence that Wukong is doing some real bloody nasty stuff, and they won't probably let us go now that we have it." Leticia shrugs while taking a look around. Guess that is the time a guard or scientist actually notices the intruders letting out an experiment... I mean, with her luck, it's usually at this time that this kind of crap happens.

Zhang Zhang sighs. "Darn. That's a plan down the drain. Stupid sympathetic captives." He looks at Leticia. "Unfortunately, you're wrong... under the Mutative STARS Act people like Xiao-Mei have no human rights in China. We can't get anything on them for experimenting on..." he points at Lin. "Someone who has that sort of power. The Xanthic Storm ruined any sort of goodwill toward that." Zhang calls up Jirenzhe's mapping again. "We probably will have to go at least one layer deeper in to find someone who still qualifies as human under the law."

Zhang "Yes." Zhang shows absolutely no shame. "If we can get her out, that will let us shut down their entire operation. And also make us look really good. We aren't heroes." He opens the door back to the main corridor. "But apparently we're one of the closest things Shanghai has."

Aidan Frost "..." "Zhang. Never say that again. You just gave me chills. Do you have any idea what it takes to give a horrible abomination unto whatever counts as a God in this day and age loving chills? I really hope you don't, 'cause otherwise you got some 'splainin' to do." After he says that, he looks over at Xiao-Mei and just sort of stares at her for a moment. "...what it's true."

The nearby labs all seem to contain creatures Wukong wants to study. The defenses are all automated, so you can probably open one or two more without anyone noticing. If you open too many or release a creature that'd go on a rampage, though, you are probably in trouble. This place seems familiar, though. That's when it hits you - some of these corridors match some of the art from that weird manga, almost down to the scratches. Ponpokonā is close. . .. Okay! While devilmaydry and I chat, everyone should describe one of these things, and I'll assign each an aspect: • A creature Wukong keeps here for study, and why releasing them would be a double-edged sword • An NPC in the area who hasn't noticed you... yet • A feature of Wukong's labs which is very useful but you which might regret later Then we're just going to intro his character and go right to your target.

Lin Xiao-Mei She takes a deep breath after that. Laughing feels good. It still feels human. She can hold on to that. "I hope I find some better clothes." Xiao-Mei follows the others, while appraising her worn jumpsuit. "It'd be easier to blend in." Like that scientist lady over there in the far side of the lab they're currently in. She looks really busy, observing a glass case full of eldritch creature organs undergoing some electric reanimation process. Hmm.

Aidan Frost "I'm sure we can get some from one of the scrubs." Aidan dismissively remarks. He looks around the corridors and recognizes the similarity between it and the stupid manga. He starts thinking about anime, and that causes him to have flashbacks to that thing inside that woman's head. Suddenly he did not like this place anymore. "Oh god not this again god dammit I just forgot about the last time..." He almost went for the wards out of principle, coming within inches of undoing the drat things just to get it over with. But no, no that would not do at all right now. It would bring too much poo poo to deal with, and more importantly, there is still the fact that there's a bomb in his chest with someone else at the button. Perhaps later, when it's more appropriate to subject this place to dumb bullshit, he will undo it. For now, he...sort of stares at the wards. He looks at the wards, and he feels the presence behind them, and he wonders. See, the thing somewhere in this facility happens to be...well, for lack of a better term, a Server Node of Cthugha. Someone managed to somehow find a loose connection or avatar in the Cthugha "network", sever it, and keep it contained and stabilized. So far it's remained contained, just as this giant ball of sentient electromagnetic activity suspended in an arcanely enhanced superconductor with all sorts of little sensors and pokey bits. The good news is someone in here doesn't really know about the advantages of compartmentalized electrical systems. If the Node-Spark gets loose, it will flood the entire system, shorting it and putting it on the fritz and out of the control of any of these morons poking at the unknowable things. The bad news is, being a thing that is known for being connected to a possibly intergalactic electromagnetic network hivemind and then being severed from anything resembling that sort of stimulus can drive the thing that was once connected to said network hivemind rather...unstable. Plus, the flood of errant electromagnetic activity might gently caress with the AR and communications within the facility. That's not to mention the fact that the electrical facilities happen to be hooked up to a prototype powered suit that happens to be conveniently similar to the Exocute sponsored Tokubug line of portable powered armors, and it just so happens to have computer assisted motorization...

Zhang Zhang makes a note of the security doors. They're weird. So in most facilities, the doors fail shut in the event of a power shutdown, right? And based on the electrical diagrams, that's what these do too. In most facilities, the doors can be opened from the inside manually, to free anyone trapped. Most. This one is backwards. All the doors can only be opened from the outside. So if you were to say, flee, and jam the door shut, nothing could follow you through. Of course, if someone beats you out, same thing applies. It makes a sort of sense. This place is meant to keep the monsters in. But it's Triad Cold™. Anyone stuck in here during an "incident" is as good as dead. Zhang shivers a little. Best to be in, and out. And not get caught.

Leticia Leticia bites her own index finger once she notices a Containing Chronosphere. She knew those as the OOI used that kind of angle-less prison to contain a captured Hound of Tindalos, the strange time-warping creatures that devour human life-force. The Chronosphere was closed tight and lacked any kind of angles, keeping the creature inside unable to travel to a time before it was captured... Of course, it was just a matter of making a small opening and the Hound would jump out of it and create a good lot of mayhem... Or perhaps just go after whoever freed it in first place. Was that a risk worth taking?

Aspects Xiao-Mei creates Disguised As Dr Chen Chun! Aidan creates Cthugha Node-Spark and I guess Cthugha is an electromagnetic network hivemind now. Approved! Zhang creates Triad Cold™ Security Systems! Leticia creates Captured Hound! Meanwhile  You're pretty sure you're in the right area now. It looks suspiciously like the last area, but if you compare the signs to the manga you're holding, this is the lab! There's more than one occupied tank in here, though. Hmm...

Leticia "Any other humanoid test subjects?" Leticia asks the others. There might be creatures like the hounds on those containment capsules, but there might be... 'People?' like that girl with the weird arm. Of course, it's better not to take risks with no reason...

Lin Xiao-Mei "Hey, doctor?" Xiao-Mei pokes the scientist from behind, which prompts the latter to peel away from the case of eldritch organs. She turns around, sees the teenage girl in the jumpsuit, and nearly recoils in shock. "Hey, don't scream." With two fingers, Xiao-Mei presses two fingers against the scientist's neck, as if to trigger some pressure point. That does the trick, as the woman immediately passes out and slumps against the case. "Good. Thanks, doctor-" Lin leans down to check out the ID around the unconscious scientist's neck. "...Chen Chun. Okay, so. Dr. Chen Chun, do you mind if I borrow your ID and your coat for a bit? It's really important and I promise that you won't miss it by the time you wake up. Thanks." Xiao-Mei could grow a giant claw arm and bust out of here, sure, if she really wants to die in a hail of bullets. Infiltration and subterfuge are the tools of this Dhohanoid form, and she intends to use them well. As she puts on Dr. Chen's lab coat over her ratty jumpsuit, Xiao-Mei gradually shifts her appearance to mimic that of the doctor's. By the time she puts on the shoes, she looks like the scientist's splitting image. Amazing what a change of clothes could do. "You know, I could just walk outta here at this point." She says in the Doctor's voice, while straightening her coat. "But I'd feel bad, I think. Also, I still wanna see your friend." And she can't trust that these guys wouldn't shoot her while her back is turned.

Aidan Frost Aidan looks to Zhang with something of a cross between frustration and befuddlement. "How loving long have we known each other again? Dude, if we won't, they will, and if you won't, I will. Might as well be us so it can be our fault rather than their's. That way we can be in the right. Just-" Aidan points to the giant container. "For the love of gently caress don't open that poo poo. Let me open that poo poo."
