[biiowiired]

[Full, unadulterated consciousness -- something he hasn't had for many solar sweeps -- was a rude awakening. When the navigation code's electronic lullabys were replaced by the pain of severed biowires, he screamed.

[He tried to. But his ill-used voice was only a grating sound and hacking coughs. Computer systems aren't supposed to scream, but this is a resurfacing of simple, protein-based primal instincts. Speaking of protein, there goes his liquid lunch. It's tinted with the dull gold color of his blood. He chokes on the taste of his panic.

[Unable to lift his atrophied limbs, he tries moving his body with his psionics. But the pain of biowires trailing exposed nerves makes him scream in silence again. He writhes on the table, throwing red and blue light every which way. Instruments fly, appliances are destroyed, and windows shatter.

[As he wrecks the room, the mirror activates and begins playing its welcome message. He's not calm enough to listen, but he knows a communications device when he sees it. He quickly hijacks the easy-to-use interface. He can't move his hands, but psionically typing on the touchscreen is second-nature. So is hacking.

[He activates all mirrors and any other technological communications devices within the city. Without leave, his text dashes across the screens.]

[He's the kind of helmsman that isn't supposed to be removed. His mind and body shut down from the pain, and he falls into the first true sleep he's had in a long time.]

[annihilistic]

[There are very few things the Handmaid feels any kind of sympathy for.

The only other troll she's heard of whose life was extended as much as hers and as much against his will is, to be honest, one of them. But sympathy isn't something she does well, if at all, so the best she can do is try and make him calm down.

The biowires will be the first thing to go, once she has the opportunity.]

They wont let anyone stay good and dead here will they

[She doesn't know what to say, and that certainly isn't going to help, but...]

Calm down. There is no battleship here to connect to.

1/2

[whomheloved]

[What. What on Alternia...

Her heart seems to stop, she's barely read the text, only seen the mess of Psii's quirk and the mentions of Helmsman, Battleship Condescion, words that terrify her.]

[ action ]

[ironbound]

-=he's not going to even bother responding with the mirror, he's just going to run his ass all the way back to the building he and meulin had arrived in, heart clenched in fear. signless had been having nightmares about what might have happened to his psiionic and it all seems to be coming to a head while he's awake.

he pushes past people and throw open doors, calling out until he finds him, then rushes to his friends side, not sure how to help, or even if he should touch him=-

Psii? Psii it's us... we're here. You're going to be okay now..

Video;

[croco_boy]

Well, now. Who writes such a weird S.O.S., I wonder?

Not here

[temperedadmin]

[Watching Di and Sign run out of his apartment like their lives depended on it had been alarming enough, and he'd almost thought of going after them just on habit of something being very wrong... But then he sees this, and he's really not sure how to feel.

Fuck.]

[Video]

[likeabos]

[Damn if that was the most disturbing thing he had heard in quite some time. Sure he heard quite a few things come close, but this was the worst yet. His teeth clenching and wincing back as he watched the poor guy writhe. A yellowblood huh? And by the looks of it one that was being used. What were the chances that he even had anything living left in him?

And that name... did he just hear him say Battleship Condescension?]

Yo man! Where's your location?! Coordinates?! Can ya even talk! Ah-- shit-- um-- Visual description?

[He had no idea what to do. But hell if he wasn't going to at least attempt to help.]

very, very filtered

[sagitterrifying]

[... something new everyday around here.]

[Darkleer sees the panic-stricken message, just like everyone else, and he knows who is making it. He knows exactly which troll that is, the one who became the Helmsman, and he knows exactly what a psionic of such immeasurable power is capable of.]

[He could split the entire world apart if he wanted to.]

[His knowledge of code commands is rusty, but he has to try. Now is also no time to hide his color and ranking in the hemospectrum.]

D ---> Helmsman system, come in
D ---> Archeradicator reporting in
D ---> Cease and desist unauthorized operations
D ---> Defrag

[voice]

[guiltapalooza]

Oh... oh no. [She knows what this is at least a little, has met the Psiioniic before, though much after he'd adjusted to life at the tower. She's never seen this part of it. That said, she does know binary, not well enough to have a conversation but enough to slog through it and put together the letters.

Willow bites her lip, at a loss for what to do. She has to do something.] The Condesce isn't here, [she can say at least.] Where are you? Can I come help you?

text; LATE!! sorry

[anaglyphiic]

Oh for fuck2 2ake.
Not you agaiin.

[SORRY PSII, he's confusing you for the AU "Psii".]
