Infirmary - The Pit - Shattered Glass Universe

The base infirmary is a spacious room, with high ceilings, blue tile floors, and plenty of room in which to walk around. The place is brightly lit by row upon row of fluorescent lighting. There are about six beds ready for use, with fourteen more that can be readied if necessary. Each bedside is surrounded by state-of-the-art medical equipment, in addition to the more standard medbay fare like trays of supplies and such.

Beyond the recovery ward are a pair of double doors leading into the surgical ward itself, which includes six separate operating tables and the best surgical equipment the US government can provide. A smaller room to the side is set up as a biocontainment ward, including an armored window through which doctors can monitor the patients inside.

While not a place to set someone's mind and soul at ease...it's a place to spend time healing...to watch the large, industrial-grade 12-hour clock on the wall, and consider the virtues of being more careful.

SG-Ebony steps into the Infirmary, and moves directly to the drug lockup. She pulls out a Key, and slips it into the lock. She pulls out a bottle of pills, and three vials. She quickly swallows two pills, and moves to a desk, pulling out a syringe. Seems the Evil wench is going to mix drugs.

SG-Ebony injects morphine into her arm, and lets out a soft sigh of contentment.

Spike Witwicky (SG) is lying, shot up. He's floating in and out of consciousness.

SG-Ebony glances over at Spike, and frowns, "Why bring him in here? Let him bleed..." she murmers.

Spike Witwicky lies back and gently rests his hands on his shoulders like a dead Egyptian soldier. He's pretty much ready to meet his maker.

SG-Ebony cups a hand over the Earpiece in her ear, "Copy. Buster and Spike will be released... Shall I let them live?"

Spike Witwicky falls deeper into slumber. He murmers in his sleep. "crack..."

Spike Witwicky smacks his dry lips as he's dozing.

Ebony moves over to Spike, and kicks him, "Wake up."

Spike Witwicky flinches and covers his eyes. "Oh fuck..."

Ebony says softly, "Stand up... You get to leave this place."

Spike Witwicky shakes his head and says weakly. "I'm not leavin' without Busser."

Ebony nods slightly, "Him too.... Although, I could just kill you, instead."

Spike Witwicky gets up and limps. "But you're not gonna kill me, right?"

Ebony shrugs, "Depends..."

Spike Witwicky looks at his blood crusted arm. "Depends on what?"

Ebony chuckles softly, "On if you piss me off."

Spike Witwicky hobbles outside the open door. He keeps looking at Ebony, expecting her to kill him. "Since we were unfairly imprisoned, do we get like a cash settlement or something?"

Ebony laughs, loudly, "Or if you ask stupid questions like that..."

Spike Witwicky hobbles outside.

Spike scratches his head. "An' Carly?""

Ebony shrugs, "No orders to let her go."

Spike Witwicky smirks and then heads out. "Wish it was a pleasure."

Ebony chuckles, softly, "Oh, but it was... And it might be again. Don't be surprised if I look you up, later..."

Spike Witwicky shakes his head. "Not if I can help it."

Ebony smirks, Following Spike out... She'll knock him out, before he gets out. She has to drop him off in a town, with no way of knowing where the Pit is.

Spike Witwicky hobbles out.

Ebony says softly, "Spike?"

Spike Witwicky looks over at Ebony and says weakly "What?"

Ebony walks to Spike, and asks, "One last kiss, for old times sake?"

Spike Witwicky frowns and says "You're not going to kick me in the junk, are you?"

Ebony shakes her head, "Nope. I promise."

Spike Witwicky licks his lips opens them for Ebony and actually gives her a fairly respectful kiss. No gross licking, no groping.

Ebony returns the kiss, than breaks it.

GAME: Ebony PASSES an AGILITY roll of High difficulty.

Ebony slips behind Spike quickly, wrapping her left arm around his throat, not in a choke hold, but in a sleeper hold...

>> Ebony succeeds with her generic combat roll on Spike Witwicky. <<

Spike Witwicky 's eyes widen and slowly black out. Utah Desert - Shattered Glass Universe

The Escalante Desert is found northwest of Cedar City, Utah. It lies mostly between State Route 56 and State Route 21 and north and west of Interstate 15 in Iron County. It is about 3,000 square miles (7,800 km2) in extent, and embraces most of Iron County. The Escalante Desert is part of the Basin and Range Province.

The Highest parts of the desert around the periphery range from 5,700 feet (1,700 m) above sea level, slowly sloping down to an average of 5,080 feet (1,550 m) in Lund Flats a mile northwest of Lund and along the railroad tracks from Milford as they approach Lund. From this low point the land around the railroad climbs briefly up to 5,090 feet (1,550 m), then resumes dropping to 4,957 feet (1,511 m) above sea level by the time it reaches Milford.

This area averages 8 inches (200 mm) of rainfall per year.

In 2005 three fissures were discovered to have formed near Beryl Junction. The likely cause of the fissuring is believed to be the extraction of groundwater for irrigation.

American Northwest - Shattered Glass Universe

The Northwestern United States comprise the northwestern states up to the western Great Plains regions of the United States, and consistently include the states of Oregon and Washington, to which Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Southeast Alaska, and parts of Northern California are sometimes added. Occasionally Northern Nevada, Northern Utah, Northern Colorado and Alaska are also included in the Northwest. News stories and weather reports for Alaskan cities are often included on the regional news network, Northwest Cable News.

"The Northwest" is home to over 12 million citizens, and is sometimes referred to as the "the Pacific Northwest" (abbreviated PNW or PacNW). This term is often used to mean Oregon and Washington and sometimes Idaho, northwestern Montana and northern California. Internationally, however, this term includes parts of Canada - see Pacific Northwest.

Like the Southwestern United States, the idea of what comprised the Northwest was pushed farther west over time. The original Northwest (usually termed the "Old Northwest") comprised the Northwest Territory and gradually pushed across the Midwest to its current definition. The current area can generally be understood to include the old Oregon Territory (created in 1848 - Oregon, Washington, Idaho and areas in Montana west of the Continental Divide).

Buster's House 

Buster Witwicky (SG) has arrived.

In a scene from a twisted 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' - Spike and Buster found a hospital, got patched up, but had to flee when cops were waiting to quetion both of them. Both were able to hail a taxi, which is now just pulling up three blocks away from Buster's house.

Spike Witwicky says weakly in the Taxi, "Sir..can you please help me get my suitcase from the trunk. I can barely move my arm from surgery." The portly taxi driver nods. "Sure thing boys!" The fare reads $319.84. Spike looks at Buster with the plan, the taxi driver gets distracted, Buster knocks him out from behind.

Buster Witwicky sighs, but goes along with it since a) they don't have a lot of options, and b) he's just happy to be alive.

The portly man pulls the suitcase out. It's empty (because it was ripped off from a patient). The cab driver looks at Spike. "Woah, guy - you're in trouble if you can't lift THIS!" he says as he starts lighting a cigar.

Spike Witwicky receives a radio transmission.

Buster Witwicky says, "You're in trouble if you can't take this."

Buster Witwicky struggles to hoist the portly man into his own trunk.

The cab driver crumples over. Spike wipes the prints off the suitcase and the inside of the cab. He takes some cash from the driver and starts to walk toward Buster's house, as if he's entitled to live there.

Buster Witwicky slams the trunk closed, and hurries after Spike.

Spike Witwicky starts to climb the steps into Buster's house.

Buster Witwicky catches up with Spike, and demands, "Gimme my half."

Spike Witwicky receives a radio transmission.

Spike Witwicky gives Buster his half and looks at the eviction notice. He takes it off and tries to open the door. The landlord has put a special LOCK on the front. So Spike goes for the window and jimmies the window open.

GAME: Spike Witwicky FAILS a TECHNICAL roll of High difficulty.

You say, "Gahdammit!" He tries to jostle the window open."

Spike Witwicky laughs, "Oh, fuck no!" He looks at Buster. "I'm HOMELESS! You don't turn your back on your brother!"

Spike Witwicky pulls his other leg into the house. "I'd do the same for you."

GAME: Spike Witwicky PASSES an INTELLIGENCE roll of Very High difficulty.

Buster Witwicky waits by the door to see if Spike opens it from the inside.

Spike Witwicky opens the door for Buster. The place is totally dark. And it's getting dark outside. It's cold from lack of heat. And the smell...well - that would be assuming Spike and Buster cooked with perishibles. The fridge stinks from having the power out, but with virtually nothing in there to spoil, it isn't overpowering.

You say, "Home sweet fuckin' home.""

Buster Witwicky steps inside. "Yeah. For me. Now get out."

Buster Witwicky is calm, but resolute.

Spike Witwicky shakes his head. "Nope, we're family." He stumbles to his mattress with no frame and crashes on it, giving out a pained groan.

"Don't worry - I'll get some cash to get on my feet then you'll never see my ass again."

Buster Witwicky says, "No, you can get your ass out now. I'm lucky to be alive, no thanks to you."

Spike Witwicky gestures around. "Oh...sure! And YOU " He points to Buster "Who told me to rip off that piece of shit car...can..." He starts rattling off items from his hand "Get the cash to get the electricity back on" "Pay the landlord" "Get cable back" and "Get another set of wheels!"

Buster Witwicky says, "No. No more, Spike. I'm not taking any more of your shit."

Spike Witwicky looks around, then looks at Buster. "You know how much money you need? And you know despite my...shortcomings - I can raise enough cash to get this place back to normal in fuckin' days!"

Buster Witwicky says, "Too bad. Fuck you. You ain't worth the shit you bring down on me with your fucking mouth, and your inability to learn from your fucking mistakes."

Spike Witwicky lies down and says bluntly "You're pissed. Fuckin' sleep it off."

Buster Witwicky says, "There's something wrong with you, man, and you ain't bringin' me down with you again. Get out. Go screw Carly again if she'll take you back."

Spike Witwicky turns around and starts to snooze.

Spike Witwicky is overcome by injuries, losing consciousness.

Spike Witwicky screams out in pain, but the pain is so intense, he blacks out. As the sun quickly sets, the room darkens. Spike's sweat-covered body is lying in blood.

Buster Witwicky picks up Spike's body, and carries it to the sliding back door of his house. Pulling open the door, he throws Spike's body outside into the cold, and slams the door shut.

Spike Witwicky falls into the bushes that haven't been watered since Buster moved in. He tumbles into the bushes, more stuff to impale him and collapses onto the cold dirt. Leaving Buster alone in his house - sans elictricity, but a free man nontheless. The scourge of Spike..gone.

Buster Witwicky throws himself onto his couch, glowering in the dark at nothing.
