distress beacon to the City;

Ping...

Ping...


If anyone in the City is receiving this message, this is a distress beacon programmed into the device of Rebecca Siddons, set to deploy if her vital signs begin to decay. Following this message is her current location.

(A set of coordinates broadcasts, which will set a ping on any map that cares to set them, like GPS or some such.)

Repeat: if anyone in the City is receiving this message, this is a distress beacon programmed into the device of Rebecca Siddons, set to deploy if her vital signs begin to decay. Following this statement is her current location.

(A repeat of the coordinates.)

(ooc: SHODAN has been shot, and her automated distress beacon is telling people that she is basically incapable of taking herself to medical help. If anyone wants to assist her, she's lying near the edges of the City proper, near the forest, in an alley. This follows the Naoi fight in this thread: http://poly-chromatic.dreamwidth.org/1055615.html )

[Going to the location isn't the problem, it's what to do afterwards. The wounds maybe beyond what he can heal. Can't jeopardize their secret association by seeking help from just anyone. Solomon; experienced doctor who also can keep his mouth shut, is currently behind bars. Hospital would be overrun with uprising fallout - anonymously dropping her off in Emergency isn't an option... or is it?

Makes a private call. Lure of coinage may sway them into accepting the assignment.]

[Lockdown has received the bounty for this woman and is making his way to her location in car mode.]

[She's lying there when he arrives, eyes staring calmly and blankly up at the sky. Looking at her, she almost seems completely ignorant of the pain except that her eyelids are half-closed, her jaw set, and her hands weakly trying to press cloth to the wounds. She can only do one thing at a time here, as her mind is hanging fuzzily on to consciousness, and that one thing is trying to keep herself from dying until her beacon can bring someone in.]

[Lockdown stops when he spots the woman and the source of the beacon. Looks like she won't put up a fight. Shame.]

Alright, you're comin' with me.

[He opens his back seat and his robot-mode arm unfolds from his body and reaches for her, pulling her into the back seat. She's badly damaged and the client wants her alive, so he can't be as rough as he'd normally be.]

[A heavy-shelled transforming robot? The sight draws her attention away from the pain and blood-soaked clothes as she is lifted into the back seat of the vehicle. How curious...why a car? At least there is a reasonable being here now, a fellow machine -- she must speak to him when all this nonsense is over.

The City won't get to her head like this again.]

[Lockdown does a quick scan of her as he drives off towards the hospital. Not his favorite kind of work, escorting and transportation, but as long as he gets paid, he won't complain too much.

Once they reach the hospital, Lockdown parks and settles in to wait for someone to get the woman, and for his client to get here.]

[*ring, ring* Incoming call from Luke Valentine]

[Answers his internal comm.]

I got her.

Re: action;

[valentineluke]

[Security guard comes out. Ventures a few feet away from the entrance, eyeballs muscle car, and back inside.]

Good.

Because I must keep my association with her from the public, took the liberty of anonymously informing the Hospital of a 'drop-off'. Quite helpful there are few robots and cars in the City. Your distinct colors and markings, even more so.

[Flurry of activity behind the Hospital's glass doors. Guard and blue scrubbed gurney towing trio burst from them, racing straight to "robomobile".]

Re: action;

[immortal_machine]

[She takes a deep breath as the team comes out the door to fetch her, and assumes that this robot can hear her from the seats.]

You are...an intelligent machine.

As am I.

I am not disclosing this to many individuals yet.

I will contact you as soon as I am able.

[ruthless_hunter]

A machine, huh? Don't see many of those here 'sides your's truly.

[Goes back to his comm.]

When can I expect payment?

Re: action;

[valentineluke]

After she's been collected by medical staff. We'll meet up at Sanctuary. No one other than us two knows of the place, the transaction won't be interrupted.

(OOC - Handwave meeting. Lockdown got enough (includes bonus) to buy himself something really nice.)
