Cαɴ'т ѕтop, woɴ'т ѕтop (Crim)

[pipintan]

She lets out a yelp, from the sudden impact and from the howl in the hospital, the surprise flinging her pain out of her mind. She strangles in a gasp of air and almost slaps the hand away in fear of it being Corvo. Though as she hears Archer's voice, she almost goes limp, as the adrenaline slowly leaves her body. "Corvo- I was watching over him- making sure his fever went down- suddenly he grabbed my wrist- I-I think it's broken," she gasps, almost whimpering at the end.

[CrimsonMoon]

Archer sighs and murmurs," Be still," he grasps her arm she cradled, examining her wrist,"... It seems to be swollen..." He looks after where the yelling was coming from and frowns deeply," Just like the rest..."

[pipintan]

She shudders from his touch, feeling like she would vomit soon. It hurt, it felt like she had been consumed by fire, it working it's way up to her heart. Cybele swallows back the bile, as she glances towards the general direction of the hospital's entrance. "What will happen to him? Surely he can't be contained by the doctors." Cybele let out a strangled gasp, revolution running through her system at the thought of him running amok. He...he was a different creature, why was he allowed to wander around... How could the captain trust him so much?

[CrimsonMoon]

Archer growls and shakes his head," I would have had him sent off to a frontline planet by now or put down- bred soldiers were known later to have complete mental break downs, reverting to their instinctually enhanced... Primal urges. One of the reasons the program was ended," he glances at her," We must go back to the hospital wing, the Captain is there-"

[pipintan]

Horror fills her eyes, as she whispers out, "He's in there, right now, with him?"

Indeed, the voice of the captain sounded a bit less calmer than it usually did, as he cried over the yells, "Now really he's just a boy!"

[CrimsonMoon]

Corvo seems to stop thrashing, frozen by the Captain's voice. He looked frantically at the captain, his bright yellow eyes widening," S-sir-" he croaks. He felt his mind clear but his limbs seem to be trembling with animalistic rage, he barely realized he had a medic in his arms, in a position to break the terrified man's neck

Archer had already drawn his pistol," Behind me," he orders, quickly rushing back to the hospital wing.

[pipintan]

The captain's lips are barely there, he presses them so hard. "Let go of him, he's done nothing," he commands, quivering with rage. At Archer's footsteps, he turns sharply towards him. "Ah Archer, jus- Why is your pistol out- Ms. Orson? What are you doing here?" The captain looks stunned, his rage forgot, as he looks between the three.

Cybele stands behind Archer, her head turned to the side, as she cradles her hand closer to her chest. She doesn't look anywhere except at the wall, intent of jot looking Corvo's way.

[CrimsonMoon]

Corvo releases the doctor, snapping to attention stiffly, his genes forcing hin to obey the order though that DNA yet unhindered was roaring at him to attack. Bite, tear, punch, roar, make them bleed and escape. But he stared ahead rigidly.

Archer frowns," Safety precautions, sir, he's clearly gone mad." He answers," Miss Cybele was injured caring for him."

[pipintan]

The captain stares at Corvo, shaking his head while Archer speaks, almost in disbelief "Is this true, soldier?" He asks, his voice barely above a whisper.

As Archer speaks, Cybele shudders and swallows again. How could she have thought that maybe he was human? She had been developing small feelings for him...but now. Who could love a monster?

[CrimsonMoon]

" If I was mad, Sir, i would have just slaughtered you all. No remorse, no hesitation." He answers automatically, looking at the Captain with a stoney gaze, he could feel Archer's triumphant gaze, Cybele's grief and anger, he could feel the Captain's distrust and disappointment... He could feel the entire base loathing him. He felt the urge to just kill it. To kill was despised and feared him... Corvo pushed it out down and waited for the Captain's judgement," The Aliens did something to me, sir... I'm sure of it."

Archer cocked his pistol, as if itching to pull the trigger

[pipintan]

The captain raises his hand at Archer, to stop him. "Medics, check what he says. I want him examined in another room than this one, Ms. Orson will stay the night for inspection of her injuries. And that's an order," he says, as he sees Cybele's mouth opening in protest. The captain finally turns to Archer, his face stony. "Archer, I leave you to guard this facility. If he comes back on a rampage...I give you orders to shoot him on sight," he finally says, his voice strangled. He gives a clipped nod and walks out without another word.

[CrimsonMoon]

Corvo's eyes twitched but he obediently allowed himself to be lead into another room. He had to escape... He knew that know, he couldn't stay here...

Archer saluted and watched Corvo,"... He needs to be put down captain," he murmurs

[pipintan]

Cybele turns her head away from Corvo, as he walks out of the room. As soon as he leaves, she doesn't feel relief, but a hallow feeling. She let's the other medics guide her to a bed, without a hint of resistance. They wrap her broken arm in a gauze-like substance and hook her up to a machine, it already starting to beep.

The captain is silent, watching Corvo leave the room, before finally turning to look at Archer. His anger disappears and he is left with exhausted remorse. "No...no, I'm sure they'll find something that has caused this; he's a good soldier, this has never happened before..."

[CrimsonMoon]

Archer frowns," Do you think those aliens scrambled his programming? Making him a threat?" He suggests

[pipintan]

The captain shrugs, rubbing his hands against his wrinkled face. "I have no idea," he finally says, looking weary. "Tell me if the medics find anything, will you?" He turns to walk away, before pausing and glancing over his shoulder. "Oh, and Archer, make sure you keep Ms. Orson and Corvo away from each other, we don't know what he could do to her."

[CrimsonMoon]

Archer nods and glances at Cybele," Are you alright?" He asks softly

[pipintan]

Cybele jumps at him saying her name, as if she was lost in her thoughts. "Yes- yes I'm fine. Just...shaken, that's all," she replies, giving him a weary smile.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Lie down," Archer says flatly, looking at the room where Corvo and the doctors had disappeared. One exits the room and looks at Archer, motioning for the Lieutenant to come talk to him- the man still bruised around the neck but seeming calm. Archer approaches him and the two converse quietly

[pipintan]

She presses her mouth in to a thin line and looks like she wants to disregard his command, though finally lays down. It takes a while for her to get into a comfortable position, since her broken arm is at a weird angle. As she gets comfortable, she doesn't try to overhear the two whispering to one another, too exhausted to do so.

[CrimsonMoon]

-TIME . SKIP-

Corvo stared up at the ceiling, he was tied down. He knew they would kill him in the morning- at least.. Archer would whethet he was ordered or not. Quietly, he dislocated his thumb, beginning to slowly wriggle his hand free of the bonds
