A small two bedroom house in Sanfield's suburbs.  Nothing is terribly different from it other then Rah'shid's personally installed security doors and cameras watching the yard for vandals. There is only a single car garage attatched to the building, housing Rah'shid's black honda Accord.

((Following Rahshid Has an Abortion))

Rahshid and Pelayo will arrive at his house in the suburbs about thirty minutes after they left the factory.  Going inside, Rahshid clears off his kitchen table for him to lie down on.

This will have to do. The weight of the situation is finally hitting Pelayo. This thing growing in Rahshids gut is in a bad place. Even performed in a hospital OR this would be dangerous and complicated surgery....

Performed on a kitchen table, with only a military surplus field surgeons kit... this is insanity.

But Pelayo is very good at what he does, and he slips quickly into surgeon mode. Plus he has teh advantages of his awakened magic to help him keep Rahshid alive...

'Okay buddy. This is not going to feel good and this is not going to be over quickly.'

Heres to confidence. Pelayo spreads out the contents of his bag on the table. He will wrap one of Rahshids arms with a rubber tourniquit (sp?) and find a vein.

'Ok, im gonna shoot you up with enough morphine you wont squirm, but i need you awake just in case, ok?'

Rah'shid reaches for a drawer, pulling out a large wooden spoon.  Placing it in his mouth, biting on it, he mumbles, "Wes Wo Wis".

Pelayo suits up with his odd surgery gadgets. Hes been busy tinkering and waiting lately so he has a new toy to try out.

He slips on a thick gauntlet that looks like it has the better part of a computer sautered to the back of it and a small satellite dish on each finger tip.

Pelayo adjusts his ether goggles and gives Rahshid the shot of morphine before pulling off the tourniquite.

Showtime...

Rahshid takes one level of Lethal damage.
-------------------------------------

Pelayo makes his incision with a scalpel and immediately notices that his glove is not functioning... As Rahshid starts to bleed Pelayo tries to non-chalantly smack the glove around to get it working again.

---------------------------------------
2008-07-09 18:55:13 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to Arete (life3)+3v-1foci (Diff 5) 9,2,7 (2 successes)
----------------------------------------

The glove begins to beep, the satelite dish fingertips projecting a small light onto the wounds, the readout telling Pelayo something... The light seems to evaporate the blood seeping from Rahshids abdomen.

Pelayo slices deeper, making one more quick adjustment to his goggles. The fetus, growth, whatever it is, is in a bad spot.

-------------------------------------------
2008-07-09 19:00:06 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to Arete (life3)+3v-1foci (Diff 5, used willpower) 4,7,9 (3 successes)
--------------------------------------------

Pelayo steels his nerves and works his way through rahshids intestines. Surely something rahshid wont want to be watching. But pelayos steady hands and his supporting life magic keep Rahshid stable. Aside from the gross out he shouldnt be in much pain...

Pelayo makes a grab motion with the glove and lifts the Fetus out of Rahshid, he will drop it in an empty jar for later inspection. Right now he has to close rahshid up safely...

----------------------------------------
2008-07-09 19:04:35 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to Arete (life3)+3v-1foci (Diff 5) 9,8,3 (2 successes)
-----------------------------------------

Pelayo is the picture of confidence. He keeps the glove with its odd beeps and strange scanning lights over rahshids open abdomen and reaches over to grab another syringe full of what looks like mini fireflies.

He jabs the needle into Rahshids ribs and Rahshid will feel a heat moving through his veins and surrounding hte wound. Pelayos beloved nano-bots will assist in closing the wound.

2008-07-09 19:16:32 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to Arete (life3)+3v-1foci (Diff 5) 3,5,3 (1 success)
--------------------------------------------

Pelayo watches his babies work. Rahshids intensines healing from the inside while Pelayo watches and prepares a needle and thread.

He will hit a few buttons on the glove and the lights turn red. Rahshid will feel heat as his wounds are cauterized and Pelayo begins to tug them closed, stitch them up...

--------------------------------------------
2008-07-09 19:21:24 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to Arete (life3)+3v-1foci (Diff 5) 10,1,6 (1 success)
---------------------------------------------

Pelayo works slow, the glove humming and The stitching careful. Wouldnt want to leave a nasty scar, after all...

-------------------------------------------
2008-07-09 19:23:08 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to Arete (life3)+3v-1foci (Diff 5) 7,6,6 (3 successes) Pelayo racked up 7 dox...
--------------------------------------------

It was a long process. Rahshid layed on his table for close to six hours. At the end of the process Pelayo is exhausted and reeking or paradox. But Rahshid is no longer pregnant and has only a minor injury to show for it.

The fetus in the jar is red, almost fully developed; now the real questions can begin...

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!"

Rah'shid is in shock in horror looking at the 'Baby in a Jar'.

"What the fuck is that thing?!"

2008-07-11 08:13:24 Pelayo rolls 7 dice to Dox 1,5,6,5,10, 2,2 (1 success)
One bashing damage. Soakable.
2008-07-11 08:13:36 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to soak 9,5,2 (1 success) Soaked, no damage.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Pelayo is racked with paradox. His own nano-skin malfunctioning like interference from the injection of Rahshid and the use of the med-glove.

Pelayo's skin goes from a tanned skin color to a black and white static exactly like when you turn on a tv not attached to anything.

He inspects his arms and frowns, he wont be going out anytime soon...

'Thats what we need to figure out. We could test it.. we could incubate it... ' Pelayo suggests.

(OOC: Ka-BOOM!)  ;)

"INCUBATE it?!" Rah'shid looks at Pelayo in horror, but does his best to regain composure.

"I....I suppose you're right.  I mean, its not every day a man has an abortion."  As much as he wanted to crush, maim, and destroy the thing that was inside him, Pelayo was right, they needed to know more about it.

"Well...it isn't exactly a lab, but we can use my factory to reseach it and stuff."

He looks down at his wound, marveling at the quick repair that was done.  "Wow, that's something else."

Pelayo strips off the glove and shoves his gadgets back in his bag.

'We really need our lab back.' Pelayo says, using the strange blackberry sized scanner on the baby in a jar...

'This thing has some really... unique life forces.'

Pelayo looks back at Rahshid, just in time for him to see the fetus move.

Its underdeveloped, but its definitly alive....

"we'll work on the lab later.  For now we can use my factory.  I need to set up some wards, but we can do that after i rest up.  You need a place to crash?"

He really didn't feel the lab would be necessary, but it was a different problem for a different time.

'Uh..' pelayo looks down at his black and white ant battle skin.

'yeah, im tapped out.'

He screws a lid on the jar with the fetus and will toss it to Rahshid. Not wanting to just stick it i nthe fridge or something without asking...

Feeling loopy from the drugs still, he totally misses catching the jar.  Crashing on the ground and breaking open, the 'fetus' is now writhing on the floor.

"Oh shit!"

'Oh fuck!' Pelayo panics a moment and jumps to the floor, picking up the Fetus, and dumping it in Rahshids lap

'Hold onto that i need to find my goggles!'

"I gota go to bed man, this stuff is messing me up bad."

He slowly heads to the stairs.

"you do what you got to do, I'll call you in the morning if I'm not around."

Dragging his feat lethargicly, he makes his way and falls face first on his bed, trying to get some rest after his operation.

And when Rahshid dumps the fetus to the ground yet again Pelayo looks ready to scream.

'Whatever man! just keep dropping the biology breakthrough of the twenty first century!'

He will pick the fetus up again as Rahshid wanders off. He will find some surrogate container for it and inspect it for damage with his goggles before depositing it in the fridge and calling it a night...

The bloody fetus prints will be left on the floor.

"I want noting to do with that thing."

The morphine is starting to take a better hold on his mind.

"I got sleep now. You should too."

Not able to fall asleep right away, Rah'shid looks over to his computer.  Figuring he should probably read some news or watch security feeds, he moves from his bed to the front of this computer.  Turning it on, he reads a few articles, deciding to take a look through the camera infront of his door.

2008-07-15 18:27:29 Rah'shid rolls 3 dice to remote view (Diff 4) 6,7,3 (2 successes)

A little window pops up, showing a fairly clear picture of a woman and a very burnt up looking man he saw earlier, standing around the door.  he works a little bit on his computer, hacking into the phone company to find a near by payphone he can call.

2008-07-15 18:35:58 Rah'shid rolls 5 dice to hack phone company 1,10,3,2,6 (1 success)

He manages to barely hack into the system, buying himself a few moments to pull up a phone that is about a block away.  Shutting off his pc before he is detected, he gives the number a call, in hopes one of them hears it.

Upon arriving at the address given to them by the very.....loopy Rah'shid, Daniel will wait on the concrete sidewalk, slightly singing the grass near his feet while Nikki, the one that won't set the door on fire, goes to see if anyone is home...

"Just ask for Pelayo or Rah'shid.  Pelayo was the guy who fixed up my ribs a couple of days ago, he should remember me, you just may have to remind him of what he did.."

"Try to stay out of sight of the street, ok?"
Nikki walks up to the door and rings the doorbell.
