"Perfect, let's do this." Shelton beckoned toward James. "Leader goes first. Just lie down on the door currently serving as an operating table, and we'll get started."

"Alright. I'll watch. I can take it when it is my turn. Just, please be quick and clean about it, alright. If there is anything wrong with it, take it out immediately. I don't want an asset to become a liability." Corporal Stern was rather... stern. His concern stemmed not from a lack of trust in technology nor a lack of trust in his team mates, but a lack of trust in a dependence on such items.

Dr. Zanasiu stepped forward and lay down. "I hope you washed your hands," he said.

------------------

Neville was taking a shower.

Zachary was still watching TV.

------------------

Alfred had put the weights back and was heading up to his room to wash up.

------------------

PFC Reynolds knocked on the bathroom door. "Cobalt Leader! Are you done in there?"

"Can't you let a guy use the f---ing toilet in peace!?" Cobalt Leader shouted back.

The Mongoose soldier yawned as he awakened. "Reynolds, shut up. I'm trying to sleep," he said.

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters were coiled up in their nests of bedsheets underneath the desk. Both of them had their pistols on the desk.

(OOC: One question, how can Stern know what Shelton is saying when they're in two different rooms completely? He was with Aimee first, everyone left the room and yeah, Shelton is now in his and Shakila's room :blink: )

Meanwhile, Jayden was in the lobby of the hotel, just keeping his eye on the entrance to it as he got up, walking over to the clerk "Listen, if anyone by the name of Trinity, Gabriel or even Selina Kyle signs in, do me a favour and notify me immediatly"

"Friend of yours?" the clerk asked Jayden back.

"Oh no, trust me on this one, she aint no friend of mine...." Jayden replied back, not going into detail about it of course.

The clerk gave him a small nod back "Right, I understand completely, I'll be sure to let you know"

"Thanks" Jayden replied back as he sat back down for the time being, doing what he could to pass away the time a bit as well.

"Does evaporating hand soap count?" Shelton injected the Propofol into his arm. "You should be out before I finish this statement," he said. "If not, say something now."

No reply. Shelton got to work. grabbing the embedder, Shelton gingerly slid it into the paper bag and touched one of the chips. It latched to the end.

Pulling out a pen light, Shelton spoke to the others in the room. "If you're squeamish, you should probably look away now." Sliding the embedder into James' nose, Shelton maneuvered with the pen light providing minimal light.

At one point, a small light flashed on the handle of the embedder, and it beeped quietly. "It's done," said Shelton, withdrawing the rod. He rolled James off the table, and Hans helped him onto the ground. "When he wakes up, tell him he needs to go to bed immediately."

He looked over at Stern. "Your turn. On the table."

Alfred passed by Jayden. "Hey the exercise room's open if you want to use it. They've got a lot of state of the art equipment there," he said. Alfred then chuckled. "Of course, don't do what I did and hog all the weights," he added.

The lobby was almost completely deserted at this time.

-------------------

Neville had finished washing up and he fell asleep on the bed.

Zachary entered the bathroom after him.

MrDrake · **Reply #1086 on:** April 03, 2010, 02:09:29 AM

"Ah, thanks for the offer there Alfred, but I'm rather fine, not too much for the whole weights ordeal thing" Jayden replied back with a small chuckle himself.

Shakila had watched the whole procedure unfold, finding it to be rather interesting indeed as she looked to Shelton again "And I take it after we've all had it inserted into us, you'll then teach us how to use it? Because I am rather interested about how these chips actually work, but so far, it seems like that'll be after we all wake up tomorrow"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1087 on:** April 03, 2010, 02:14:47 AM

"That's right, after the chips integrate themselves with your brain," said Shelton. "As stated before, tonight you'll probably experience really lucid dreams with an emphasis on sound, and tomorrow you'll wake up very disoriented. I'll help teach you how to use and understand the thought chips after we've all woken up."

MrDrake · **Reply #1088 on:** April 03, 2010, 02:29:53 AM

"Ah, tomorrow it is then, still sounds rather interesting" Shakila mussed as she continued to await her turn, looking over at Stern "Good luck by the way, you might need it"

Noname · **Reply #1089 on:** April 03, 2010, 02:32:59 AM

Stern moved over to the table and sat on it, then lay down on top of it. "Just make it quick. I'll follow the procedure to the letter. I'm used to having all sorts of stuff done to me in this business. And for what its worth, thanks for offering me this. I hope it works as well as you say it will."

"You won't be disappointed. You also won't be awake." Shelton administered the Propofol, waited twenty seconds, and repeated the embedding procedure. When the embedder beeped, he and Hans dumped Stern on the floor next to James.

"Ready yet?" Shelton asked Hans.

Hans nodded. "Okay." He got on the table. "How soon until I fall asleep?" he asked, as Shelton administered the Propofol.

Shelton didn't bother answering. Pulling the third chip out of the plastic bag, he slid the embedder into Hans' nose and up the sinus, lodging the chip in the proper location. After the beep, he dumped him on the floor. "If it looks like I'm going fast, I am," he said, finishing his energy drink and attempting to crunch the can.

He repeated the procedure with Dr. Landon. (OOC: sorry, Nick22, I just want to keep the story moving.)

He looked over at Shakila. "Are you ready?" he asked. "You're up."

MrDrake · **Reply #1091 on:** April 03, 2010, 02:45:55 AM

Shakila gave off a nod as she soon, laid down upon the make-shift operating table and looked at Shelton "Yeah, I'm ready, let's do this" she mussed again, smiling to him as well.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1092 on:** April 03, 2010, 02:49:31 AM

"Don't worry, I'll be careful," he assured her, injecting the Propofol. "Night night."

Taking one final sip from his energy drink, he removed the last chip from the bag and finished the final procedure.

He sighed with relief when the embedder beeped. "Finally, done." Sliding the embedder out, he crossed to the bathroom sink and washed it one final time. Coming back into the bedroom, he glanced at the row of bodies on the floor. "Wake up, people," he started nudging all of them with his foot. "The Propofol's worn off; and unless you want to sleep the night on my floor you've got to get up and go immediately to bed. If you can't tell from my tenuous grasp on grammar, I'm already half asleep."

MrDrake · **Reply #1093 on:** April 03, 2010, 02:53:16 AM

Soon, Shakila stirred from her small sleep as she sat up, looking around for a second before strecthing a little bit "Bed? Yeah, alright...." she muttered slightly, crawling onto the couch and curling up into a bit of a ball, soon, already dozzing back off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Aimee was still in her room, just laying there on her stomach still, rather bored at the moment, laying on top of the covers as she did so, rolling over onto her back, groaning some as well, just out of pure bordem really.

Jayden, on the other hand, soon got up from his seat and decided to make his way to his room, entering it and closing the door behind himself as he did so, placing his cellphone down upon the side table before sitting down on the side of his bed.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1094 on:** April 03, 2010, 03:00:52 AM

Once everyone was out of the room, Shelton noticed his hands were shaking. "Ah," he said to himself. "I am crashing."

He dragged the door off of the bed, taking the blanket with it. He tried to lean over and pick the blanket up, but his body instead decided to collapse onto the sheets. After a few half-hearted attempts to get up, Shelton ran out of energy and drifted off to sleep.

Serris · **Reply #1095 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:11:54 PM

Dr. Zanasiu and Hans awoke and staggered back to their rooms.

-------------------

Dr. Zanasiu entered his room. Zachary was asleep and Neville was keeping watch.

"So James, what happened in Shelton's room?" Neville asked.

Dr. Zanasiu said nothing but flopped down on his bed and fell asleep.

-------------------

Hans staggered into his room and fell asleep on his bed, not even bothering to change out of his clothes.

-------------------

Alfred entered Aisha's room.

"Hey, Aisha, you see Dr. Landon?" he asked.

Nick22 · **Reply #1096 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:22:40 PM

hes right here' aisha said pointing to the other bed ' he was nodding off a bit ago.. i bet you came for him to get that chip installed. i've seen shows like that but they take place in the future.. on the shows they are called career chips.."

Serris · **Reply #1097 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:24:41 PM

Alfred shook his head. "No chip for me," he replied. "So, who gets the bed tonight?" he asked with a yawn.

Noname · **Reply #1098 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:44:54 PM

Stern was out cold. The chip was now firmly embedded within him, and it began to take effect. Thus far, nothing had gone wrong, although the Corporal had been warned that there could be some side effects. On the plus side, the chip could be removed without any serious problems, so if it ever went bad, he would be covered.

Deathwind responded by grabbing the blinded Omega soldier's laser rifle with one claw, and threw another canister at the others' direction, a large beaker of nitro-glycerene. The scientist working here was especially sloppy...

----------

Ice & Snow heard noises coming towards the room and readied themselves, until Vic, Tank, & Erin returned inside.

"Anything new?" Vic asked.

"I think I have something," Aiko replied. "But I need a bit more time."

"I'll give you a minute."
