Red & Blue & Green

February 11th 899:
Azer (our weird monitor) called us today, he wanted to see us - guess he thought we'd been away for a while. It was a tired team that met up at his office - we'd just spent a day in CS1 digging for hidden treasures left by "The Lord of Lies" and we'd found quite a bit of equipment which we turned over to SLA for quite a sum of money - yay! Azer wanted to know what we'd been up to and then he wanted to tell us that our first psych evaluation is up on the 15th of february - nooooo! I think we'd all forgotten about psych evaluation and I don't think I was the only one wondering if we'd all be terminated for our small adventures. I guess Azer knew something was up from our expressions so he asked if there was something we wanted to share? I said that our first BPN was a bit weird - but he already knew that, and then I told him the official story about our white BPN - the one with the 2 girls who killed their husbands.
Azer doesn't think there's anything that'll get us into trouble so he sends us on our way.
We decide to go get a Blue BPN - something nice and quiet for a change. G'rr comes back with a Blue maintenance/clean-up suburbia sewers - yay!
We complete our BPN without much trouble - there's a breech during the night but the shivers are quick to close the gaps and get out of harms way. There's some speculation whether the attack was by DN since it looked very much like a bomb attack - but after my talk with Cloak Division it's quickly dismissed - I'm not going to argue with those boys!

February 14th 899:
Today Red was delivered on my doorstep - a cute little puppy - or just the biggest meanie domino dog to walk the planet! He makes me want to hunt big game. I call the team and introduce them to Red. Blue loves him right away - I suspect Red thinks Blue is a bit stupid. The others think we should let Red hunt all sorts of weird dangerous things - just to see what he can do, they also think we should see how much hurt he can take - I guess someone's a bit jealous! I let him lick the others' hands and tells him their names - that way he'll always be able to track them - at least that's what the Karma guy told me.

February 15th 899:
omg omg omg omg! psych evaluation! If I hide in CS1 maybe they wont find me?
Later:
Aced it! No problem "Phoenix maybe you shouldn't do so many BPNs?" WHAT!? I don't get it!!! No problems, everything was OK - no biggie!
When we left we all felt a bit confused - but we all got through without any incidents. So we just went to the Pitt to get drunk and get laid - well the others did - I just enjoyed Red and the attention he got. When it was time to go home I just grabbed a very drunk Blue (God he's heavy!) said goodnight to the others and went home alone - well except for my 2 favourite stormers!

February 16th 899:
Dated Max - the Karma guy that got me Red. I suggested that maybe we could get some special BPNs to test Reds abilities - we might as well see what two prototype stormers could accomplish? Max figured that was a good idea so he called a friend at Karma - I was already beginning to feel much better!

February 18th 899:
AAA is introduced to Morgan McVay Karma doctor - expert in xenobiology and a very friendly person. He'll let us participate in this little green BPN along with his other team called Setup to see if we're what he's looking for. We're going to Parr to collect two different creatures it really shouldn't be a problem and Setup will be there to take over if we fuck things up - great now we got babysitters!

Back in my room...

Bellamie Asylum 899 date unknown.
I stare at the grey ceiling and try to keep the tears at bay. I miss GaNing, I miss my parents and I miss my team. I want my dagger back. I let my hand run over the wall remembering the feel of the inscription on the blade "I am your key - you are my life". The hilt fitted perfectly in my hand, I hadn't let it out of my sight since we came home from Orienta, when I slept I had one hand one the hilt - it fitted perfectly!
I wrap my blanket around me - tight - if I concentrate really hard I can almost feel his arms around me and his breath in my ear. But it's no good - Someone start screaming in a cell further down the hall and I know more will follow soon. I know my team is having trouble sleeping, I can tell from the look in their eyes, and sometimes I can hear their screams too.
My head is fuzzy, the drugs are more powerful now and I can hardly keep my eyes open. I choke down my sobbing and finally fall asleep. When I wake up my pillow is still wet.

When we came home from our first trip to Orienta we were all so scared. I think we all expected something bad to happen. I decided to call this Karma guy I'd met after our TV debut in "Run for your life", I had a big icecube where my heart used to be and I needed someone to hold me for a while. As it turned out he wasn't really interested in me in that way - well he was - but he had an offer for me and my team. Karma had noticed how well Blue had fitted on our team so they wanted to let us test another of their big new inventions - the Domino Dog. That was just what I needed, something to get my head of Orienta. The Karma guy figured I was the most responsible on the team so he asked me to come take a look at the different kinds and pick one for AAA - sweeeeeet!
I was introduced to 3 variants of the Domino Dog. A huge beast - almost tiger like, a small badger like dog and the one we've seen pictures of on billboards around Mort - the long awaited meanie! I fell in love with the dog imediately - its sleek well muscled body and the deadly jaws made me want to hunt through the cannibal sectors with him by my side. The Karma guys insisted on showing me what the puppy could do - I thought they're a bit mad and I really didn't get why they had to shoot the dog - they told me it's because they wanted to show how much hurt the beast could tank! They gave me a brief instruction on how to feed and groom it (a godzillian cans of proteine drinks would be delivered with the dog) and then they told me he is smarter than your average 313 stormer - wow!
I touch the wall again - I miss Red, I miss the way he licked my hand when he wanted something from me, I loved the way he always protected me, and I loved the way he and Blue could look at eachother and something was passing between them.
I named him Red because of Blue - I thought it was a really nice touch to have colorcoded stormers on our team - I can't believe how much I miss the others - even obnoxious Sean.
Someone scrambles at my door and the usual meal with the usual pills are pushed inside - I scramble off my bed and eat the grey pudding on the plate - I really hope we get to go to the dining hall today - I need a smile...
