Alita Shoots Nate    December 16/00

(Times are in EST)

 

[17:09] <Alita_Branford> <a female UA soldier is walking down a corridor of MO II and hears the sound of footsteps behind her. Turning around quickly, she sees no one there. However, as she's turned around, a figure drops from the celing and strikes the woman's head knocking her out. That figure then drags the to a room and takes her clothes>

[17:12] <Alita_Branford> The clothes are a little big, but they'll do for now. <exits the room>

[19:49] <Alita_Branford> <heads down the corridor to the observation lounge, straightening the uniform she stole from the female soldier earlier>

[19:50] <Alita_Branford> <enters the observation lounge>

[19:51] <Alita_Branford> <sees Nathan leaning on the railing>

[19:52] <Alita_Branford> <walks up behind him, then speaks to him in a disguised voice> Sir, we need your signature for some special equipment.

[19:52] <Nathan_Carver> <Sighs, and doesn't turn> Alright, go ahead.

[19:53] <Alita_Branford> The signature...?

[19:53] <Nathan_Carver> <He reaches back for the expectant piece of paper>

[19:54] <Alita_Branford> <pulls her gun out of the holster and points it into the small of his back, then uses her regular voice to speak to him> Surprise, surprise.

[19:54] <Nathan_Carver> <Freezes> Alita....

[19:54] <Alita_Branford> I see you haven't forgotten me.

[19:55] <Nathan_Carver> Hardly... can't forget someone who wants to kill you.

[19:55] <Alita_Branford> Let's move to a private area so we can talk without interuption.

[19:57] <Nathan_Carver> <He starts walking> Alright, the crew quarters are nearby.

[19:57] <Alita_Branford> Good.

[19:59] <Alita_Branford> <keeps the gun tight against his back> Try anything and you'll be crippled for a very short amount of time.

[19:59] <Nathan_Carver> <He stops before the door to his quarters> Wouldn't dream of it.

[20:00] <Alita_Branford> Open it.

[20:59] <Alita_Branford> <follows him in, then removes the gun and shoves him forward>

[21:00] <Alita_Branford> <shuts the door behind them>

[21:00] <Alita_Branford> Well, Carver, I'll bet you're surprised to see me here?

[21:01] <Nathan_Carver> <trips, and graps at the side of his desk. The room is small, with a bunk, and a small table and chair. Armored, and likely sound proof...>

[21:03] <Nathan_Carver> <He turns> So, here to talk, banter, or just to shoot me?

[21:03] <Alita_Branford> A little of column A, a little of column B...

[21:03] <Alita_Branford> But mainly to shoot you.

[21:04] <Nathan_Carver> Ah.... nice to see you've still got your priorities straight.

[21:04] <Alita_Branford> <points the gun at him>

[21:04] <Alita_Branford> I've decided not to kill you.

[21:04] <Nathan_Carver> BTW, for what it's worth, our pal Armaros is already dead. You can leave Kris alone, the grief will get to her...

[21:05] <Nathan_Carver> <frowns> Change of heart? Can't say I'm diappointed... <sighs, relieved.>

[21:05] <Alita_Branford> I know Armaros is dead. I was working for him at the time.

[21:05] <Alita_Branford> However, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop plauging you for the rest of your days.

[21:06] <Nathan_Carver> So.... every few monthes, you'll show up to wave you gun in my face?

[21:06] <Alita_Branford> After all, a bodily wound and mental torture is so much more fun...<fires the gun, and the bullet embeds itself in Nathan's stomach>

[21:07] <Alita_Branford> <laughs, then turns and opens the door>

[21:07] <Alita_Branford> Something to think about, Carver.

[21:09] <Nathan_Carver> <Stumbling, he feels his senses going numb, the world gradually losing focus.>

[21:09] <Alita_Branford> <walks back over to Nathan, then grabs his comm>

[21:11] <Alita_Branford> <tosses the comm back at Nathan, and of course he doesn't catch it>

[21:11] <Alita_Branford> <walks out of the room and down the hallway>

[21:11] <Nathan_Carver> <It's rather pathetic... still more absorbed in the pain then the events around him, he doesn't make a move.>

[21:12] <Alita_Branford> <medical teams rush down past Alita and to Nathan's room>

[21:12] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] Mr. Carver..<motions to those in her environs> quick, get a stretche out here NOW! He's losing a lot of blood!

[21:14] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] Help me get him to the infirmary. If he dies, it'll be on your heads coz your reaction time sucks! <assists a fellow medic in getting nate's lifeless body on to the stretecher noticing he was still stirring, a sign of life she quickens the pace> Sir, we'll get you there.

[21:15] <Nathan_Carver> <Doesn't respond, gradually slipping into unconsciousness>

[21:15] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] On the double! <gets everyone into action and rushes nate into the infirmary, the medic covers his wound with a bandage, hoping to help ease the bleeding>

[21:27] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] Shit...<takes the blood soaked bandage off the wound...then looks around for something larger to help stop the bleeding. She bunches up the large blanket and holds it to the wound...her hand red from it's profuse bleeding>

[21:28] <Nathan_Carver> <Still unconscious>

[21:34] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] <directs the stretcher into the infirmary> Sir, can you hear me? <notices he's unconcious and not responding to her> Ok, he's gone out cold, we have to get him on the operating table and get that bullet out. <puts rubber gloves on and gets all necessary equipment>

[21:38] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] <nurse can you please administer the anesthetic, turns to another medic, please make sure this keeps under wraps, i don't want complete pandemonium arising from word escaping that their precious leader is out cold be an assasin's bullet. Please get authorities on it, i want it quiet, but look for any sort of curious figure walking around. There were no signs of struggle in the room. He knew the assassin.

[21:39] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] His breathing is laboured, I'm afraid we may be losing him..<looks at his vitals> his heart is weak, i'm going in to get that bullet.

[21:47] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] Thank God, it didn't hit any vital organs.

[21:53] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] <locates the bullet and carefully extracts it from his body> <takes a look at it, and puts it in a jar for evidence, she then takes a strange looking contraption that cleans up the wound, ridding it of any exceses blood..and then begins to stitch him up. In total, the whole procedure lasted 2 hours, the medic exhausted not only by the act itself, but by the sheer enormity of the task at hand, her superior's life in her hands>

[22:04] <Sakura_Hunter> [Medic] <washes up and changes into clean clothing. She then picks up a com and gets hold of security. <com,security> I want you to send someone from security to the infirmary ASAP. Someone you trust and is reliable. Please, do not have wind of this request get out. <closes com>
