[8] - Post-Port (Video)

[doctor_j_crane]

[It's pretty clear by the large amount of people in the background that Crane's currently sitting in the infirmary.]

Apparently, zombies exist and are fairly hungry. [Crane sounds absolutely terrible. As in worst sore throat ever. Important things got eaten by the zombies, bb.] Also, we seem to actually be on a magical barge.

[Pause]

Cue the candid camera moment. Your experiment is successful. I actually have gone so far over the other edge of things that I think this place might actually exist.

[Five seconds of slow clapping. Clap, clap, clap.]

My main question is why would the Admiral do this to us? What does he gain? Why is this happening? Why are we here? What are you wardens getting from this? Why not just leave us to rot after being dead?

[After putting that large amount of effort into that little rant, Crane bursts into a fit of some pretty serious coughing. After he finishes, he turns back to the camera, even raspier then before.]

Why do all of you people put up with this?


[Private - Max]

Thanks. For keeping me company in the infirmary. [Not sarcastic, genuine.]

Re: Awesome. :D

True.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Speaking of the subject, how did you manage to gather the explosives in the port environment? Or did you have equipment from the barge?

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

Hospital. Chemicals, wiring from monitors -- oxygen tanks as accelerants.

Don't try this at home...

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I suppose that none of this would be avaliable on the barge? Hypothetically, of course. I'd like to make sure the security here is up to scratch.

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

I do not believe they would be.

And it would take... decades of experience to work with such things. We are safe.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. If someone had some secret knowledge of such a thing, it would cause a great deal of disaster.

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

Mainly to them. They are at... ground zero, if bomb malfunctions?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

That's true. Apparently death is cheap around here, so perhaps it wouldn't concern them.

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

*nods slowly*
Lyssans would... appreciate that point of view.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

What's a 'Lyssan'?

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

Enemy empire known for insanity and dishonor. Their soldiers so full of combat drugs, they -- are like the zombies. Near-impossible to stop.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Combat drugs, you say? I don't suppose you know what formula they used?

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

*sharply* Nothing you want to use!

*softens a bit* The drugs did enhance strength and reaction time, and shut off pain. But it burned out the body -- and especially the mind. Intellect plummets due to brain damage.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Ah. A situation where the cost is greater then the benefits. It may have some limited use, but on the whole, is not recommended.

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

We paid twice over. First, for having such berserkers sent against us. And again, when we saw that in too many cases... they were our own people, violated and reprogrammed into the enemy's control.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Reprogramming. Through the drugs, or another method?

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. I just know the methods died with them -- and good riddance!
