Andy sat patiently in his cage, paying less of his attention on the outside conversation between everyone and more on taking stock his inventory. As suspected, they took everything away from him: guns, lock picks, needles, food, everything. They even managed to rip out the tracking device on his filling...Wait a minute, did they do surgery on him? It was obvious that they knew of his origins versus that of Odessa who probably didn't have any CIA training. From Reiko's indignation it was obvious that Doctor Lum's words were not merely a buff but evidence that something had clearly happened to them. The question was what though. He hadn't received much information before entering the airplane except to be careful so he was pretty much as lost as everyone else was, well aside from the fact that he was void of supplies. They didn't even let him keep his pocket mirror.
He turned over to a brown-haired woman (June) whose eyes seemed to flit between brown and white.
"Are you okay? You seem kind of...pale?" he asked.
There seemed to be a strange aura about her, something human yet supernatural at the same time. Eyes were, for the most part a static color, not a static television.
She turned to him, her eyes erasing any trace of the ghostly glow and shrugged.
"Uh yeah, as okay as I can be. It's pretty loud though."
There were a total of twenty-something people in the entire area, but it seemed like only a few of them were actually competent enough to do anything. The black-haired one (Merrimack) was leading the situation while the gray-eyed (Maxim) fellow only had time to disagree versus help with the situation. They both had fair points, but she was pretty sure that finding ways to escape was more productive than whining about their situation.
"There's only so many people," Andy replied with a shrug, "if anything we should be glad that we're not the only ones alive right?"
"That's not true. The more people there are, the more messy plans get," she retorted as she started touching the bars of the cage.
Besides there were more people alive earlier. She could hear them.
Turning to him, she wondered if he had any-
"I don't have anything useful," Andy stated, even before she could start asking, "the guy over there has the right idea. We should wait for him...if anything."
"Funny how everyone's got something except for you," June observed.
Andy eyed her for a moment, standing up before turning to his cage bars and putting on a sheepish smile.
"Yeah, I guess my stuff got lost in the trash."
Before June could say anymore, a green and black woman (Xavi) emerged from the cells. She was like them with the exception of having escaped and somehow acquired a dangerous persona.
"Are you being serious right now? 'Someone has to be the bad guy?'" June tried to hide a laugh "is this a fucking roleplay or something? You're going to sit here all day and pretend to play villain. While our lives are at the mercy of a bunch of crazies. Okay."
Her voice had gone from distraught to a cold anger as her eyes appeared to flit around again.
Shit. They needed to find a way out, or at least buy enough time for the guards to find this woman (Xavi) and force her back into the same boat. The white-eyed woman (June) was being too headstrong. Xavi was in control of the area now, so they couldn't just defy her willy-nilly. They needed to be smart about this. He shot a quick glance at the other people in the cages before landing back on Xavi.
"Come on now, every bad guy needs an archnemesis right? It wouldn't be fair to keep all of us trapped in here right?" he asked sheepishly, "we could make it fun that way with two of us running around."
God he sounded like such a kiss ass.
