If anyone currently in the oxygen gardens could look around for Simon Silverton, designation zero zero two, zero twenty-nine, Caucasian male, teenaged, brown hair, and report back to me with a status, that would be appreciated. [The tone is clipped, military, and leaves no room for nonsense.]




Private to Simon; I'm coming up to get you. If this is a prank to get me out of my room, you're in deep shit.

Comments

[consulting]

Concisely.
What makes finding Simon interesting?

SH

[ A CASE. I CAN SNIFF IT. ]

[slayer_not_player]

[Goodness, he has to read while jogging now? Ffff.]

He was mid-sentence when he started screaming, then the feed cut. I want to know why.

[voice]

[yardbird]

A teenager, huh?



...I'll keep an eye out for him.

[unparental]

What happened?

[voice]

[slayer_not_player]

Thanks. Are you in the gardens right now?

video; INTO MY ARMS

[slayer_not_player]

I'm not entirely certain. He left me a worrying message, then hung up.

Could be a prank. [But he's still jogging out there armed and armored. Just in case.]

[voice]

[yardbird]

Was, but I can go back.

[voice]

[slayer_not_player]

No need, I'm headed there now.

You didn't notice anything or anyone unusual or suspicious when you were there, did you?

[voice]

[yardbird]

Sure you couldn't use any help?

...Yeah, I did. Someone was runnin' like a bat outta Hell just a little bit ago.

[voice]

[slayer_not_player]

Shit... how long ago was this? [Just going to casually pick up the pace now. If somebody hurt Simon...]

[voice]

[yardbird]

Yesterday, I think...?

[Hard to keep up with a concept of time in space -- and he hasn't been paying close attention to his clock.]

[voice]

[slayer_not_player]

[Timeframe is off, but that doesn't mean that the incidents didn't coincide.]

You got any experience dealing with hostiles? [He's not above having tactical backup when sweeping an area as big as the oxygen gardens.]

voice;

[sweetmotherofgod]

[it takes a moment for her to actually speak, and when she does it comes out tense.]

Is he in danger?

voice;

[slayer_not_player]

[Heather. It's a good thing that the camera's not on for her to see the flinch. There's still more hesitation before he speaks than he would have liked.]

It's starting to look like that's a possibility. Stay away from the gardens.

voice;

[sweetmotherofgod]

Right. I will.

What can I do?

voice;

[slayer_not_player]

Once I know what's going on, I'll let you know. Too many variables right now.


...Just keep safe.

[voice]

[yardbird]

Yeah... I do. Quite a bit.

[Curbstomping monsters? Sure, he can absolutely do that. But these are people he's seen running around here. If one of them tries to come after him, he'll just have to figure out how to incapacitate them instead.]

voice;

[sweetmotherofgod]

Make sure you do.

[ Whether she means contacting her with instructions or keeping safe, she doesn't say. ]

[voice]

[slayer_not_player]

Confirmed.

I'm on the lift now. ETA is twenty minutes.

[He attaches a bit of a video clip of Simon... being Simon.] That's the kid I'm looking for. If you're serious about helping, ping me when you arrive.

[voice]

[yardbird]

Got'cha.

[He stops and glances at the video clip on his device; committing the kid's face to memory before he nods.]

I'm on my way.

voice;

[entrapments]

The peeping-tom is missing?

voice;

[slayer_not_player]

Affirmative. Missing, presumed injured.

If you're in your room, you should stay there. Don't open the door.

voice;

[entrapments]

What's going on this time?
Are people getting hurt again?

voice;

[slayer_not_player]

Investigation is ongoing, nothing is confirmed. To be on the safe side, just stay in.

[unparental]

But around here, better safe than sorry.

Keep me posted? If he's being a teenage boy and he's not in trouble, I give great mom voice.
