"
Alright. Where is the rondezvous point for a pickup? I can't make it back to base on foot. I assume you already have my present coordinates from my communicator?" Meanwhile, Bailey used her hidden, encrypted secondary unit to send a single coded word to E.R.I.N.
-==IC: E.R.I.N.==-
ERIN was about to reply when she recieved a signal from Bailey's emergency unit. "
Code 1T."
Compromise on the coded frequency. I have to get back to base. ERIN decided to kill two brds with one stone. "
I know a great many things, Curtis. I have been watching you and your friends for some time. You have been a most promising candidate for my plans, but it wasn't until your new friend showed up that I was able to arrange an opportunity for us to speak. You are a man of honor, Curtis, and the task I have requires such a man, for only to him may I trust the hope of all humanity"
A little melodramatic, but pretty much true... "
I must leave now, but remember this...honor does not have to lead to single-mindedness and stupidity. Pay attention, keep your eyes open, and one day you will have the chance to change the world." ERIN started to pilot the mech away from the ruins, then stopped and turned back to Curtis. "Oh, and the parts you're looking for? In the former quarters of the one Intelligence referred to as Cardigan. The only room in the wing that wasn't completely destroyed. Oh, and the next time we meet, bring the girl. She is...most unique. Already I can tell she would be a valuable ally. Whether you choose to work with me or not, you should keep that in mind. Just a tip." And with that, the mech receded into the darkness.
OOC: E.R.I.N. is taking the mechs to Bailey's secret base, which is undetectable for now. Oh, and
Lloyd Blade, Curtis needs to mentally choose which of those two mechs he likes better. He's just become part of a contingency scheme, and I need to get Bailey to (try to) weasel out of him which mech he likes better at a later time...something that won't be possible on a meta level if he doesn't notice anything in particular about them now.
OOC2: I put the parts in Lloyd's old room as an opportunity for more shenanigans...feel free to ignore said opportunity if it doesn't fit. I would appreciate it, however, if Curtis got back to Bailey soon.
