☄ Video

[There's an actual video post from Niko Bellic for once. And this is important because that angry set to his features which may otherwise be known as "resting bitch face" is even more angry at the moment.]

Alright, I don't know who was in the Cargo Bay with the cardboard tank. But I do know one of them fucking tranqed someone. Don't fucking tranquilize people in the Cargo Bay. Do it in other places where tranquilizing people is okay, which I am guessing is not many. What if a person is stepped on by robots accidentally. [He's pissed enough to start losing his English, and he's rolling those "R"s extra hard.] Is robots here! Big robot! That would hurt like shit. I could run someone over with loader or squish them with box.

And as a notice of emergency, I might need one of Bruce Banner's very gentle and kind friends to come down here and help me with a slight problem. Very gentle. Very kindly. Please. Maybe bring him some tea and headache things.

action!

[ A guy is just working on a cage, being perfectly quiet and harmless and generally unsuspecting— then, out of the blue, he gets tranqed. Great. Because apparently he just can't ever catch a break around here.

Bruce doesn't even realize it happens until it's too late. He feels a strong prick and he reaches for it, plucks out the dart, has a moment of "what the hell..." before the drug starts affecting him. He turns around, already woozy, and a couple of steps later, pretty much stumbles over his own feet and falls flat on the floor.

When he comes to, it's with a drawn out groan, his sight blurred, his whole body too heavy for him to manage more than turn his head to the side, trying to figure out what happened— and if he's still even in the cargo bay to begin with. ]

[EMERGENCY?

Peridot looks agitated about this news. She comes on the screen right up in the camera, brow furrowed, tone urgent.]

What does "tranquilize" mean? Is Banner okay?

[vengeance_driven]

Tranquilizers are little darts that knock people unconscious instead of killing them. And they tend to give you a headache. So...

He'll be okay. I just ah, don't want him mad when he wakes up. Cause that can go pretty bad.

[Ah. So the humans have their own ridiculous shenanigans inflicted on the Cargo Hold. How quaintly familiar.]

Is this something that needs to be looked into? Tailgate can be rather clumsy and reckless on his hoverboard.

[Squishing one of their crewmates would be very bad. Megatron is fairly certain the little Autobot would likely cry about it for a month.]

[vengeance_driven]

This is not your fault. You guys are fine. It probably is a bad idea to leave someone unconscious where you usually walk, though. Just saying.

[Or where he drove.]

Niko, dude! Someone got shot up with a tranquilizer? Bruce got it? They just left him there? [He's just parroting back what he's heard, looking a little upset himself. He likes Banner. More importantly he's his sisters, friend, teammate? Something from her world. Either way it ends up as not cool.]

You need help?

Re: video;

[vengeance_driven]

Got shot once. Very accurately. And yes, just left him there.

Bruce Banner turns into a giant green monster when he is angry. One that can tear down cities. He can't help it. It just happens.

So we should make this a pretty good wake-up.

[abide]

[ Okay, wait. What. This sounds like a problem. ]

Are you still in the cargo bay? [ More importantly: ] Did anyone else get hit?

[vengeance_driven]

Yeah, I'm still here. I have him in a safe place and I put my jacket under his head.

Why don't you and the girl who offers as well come down here and be with him when he wakes up.

[cardboard_boss]

...cardboard tank, huh? [Well, doesn't that sound familiar? Snake used to have one of those back during the Peace Walker event. R+D created some wonderfully useful tanks back then, even if they were a little primitive.]

The ones I know can also shock enemies too. [Because yep. Interesting facts here.]

[vengeance_driven]

They could shock enemies??

That's actually pretty neat.

Anyway this involved a tranquillizer dart. And I have no idea why.

[voice]

[rraidergirl]

...A cardboard tank.

[ Uh oh... That sounds familiar. ]

Is Bruce all right? Still... [ How to put this politely. ] Himself?

[vengeance_driven]

Yeah, so far.

I mean, he'll probably be okay. Will handle it better than me if I were shot with drugs.

[seeingscarlet]

Is he all right? [And you know, not in the process of turning into a giant green rage monster.]

[vengeance_driven]

Yes, we got people coming down here.

I admit though.

This is ah... pretty awkward.

video

[daintylegs]

Oh no! Someone got hurt in there?

Are they okay?

Should... we watch our step?

[vengeance_driven]

I got out of the way, but it might be a good idea to do for a while anyway. He's okay.

[anomaliiiiies]

[oh hai.]

Robots. Like Tony Stark level or ?

[vengeance_driven]

Well they're pretty advanced robots. But I think they have been making themselves for a long time. I don't even know what would have made them in the first place.

Maybe Megatron could tell you something. They're all normal guys. Just very big and very metal.

[handing]

[Pepper spends the first few seconds of her reply trying to come up with reasons why someone would tranquilize Bruce that don't involve a visit from his other guy.

Since she doesn't succeed, she's a bit harried when she answers.]

Is he okay? I mean-- [Oh, how does she even put this? Granted, there's a very good possibility this guy knows about Bruce's condition, given his broadcast. Still, in case he doesn't, Pepper doesn't want to spill any secrets.] He's unconscious, right? That is what you're implying.

[And not transforming, and not being stepped on and oh Pepper is walking very quickly towards the cargo bay.]

[vengeance_driven]

He's fine. People are coming. No big green guy to be happening.

[He says it in the tone that suggests it's not a secret at all anymore.]

[forfeits]

Did you find out who did it? Why would anyone do that?

[ he's quite mad, because they're supposed to be trying to work together, aren't they? he doesn't like the idea that people are just being knocked out in dangerous places. but hearing about Bruce Banner makes him tense. he doesn't know the guy that well yet, but. ]

Has someone come help you yet? They tranqed him?

Re: video;

[vengeance_driven]

Yeah, a few people are offering to help but I don't know who or why they do this. He's just minding his own business.

I don't mind people fucking around down here. Most people stay out of the way and it's a big open area. But I also like it to be a pretty safe space in case someone needs to get away from something bothering them.

That means not tranquilizing people.

[earthandpine]

[Rosethorn's vows say she has to help anyone in need. Granted, the ship has medical staff. But she genuinely likes Bruce, and after what he's done for her this week, she also owes him something. He's modified her robot so she always has breathing aids and will never have to repeat the incident on-planet that nearly killed her. This is more personal than her usual offers.]

I don't know that I'd call myself gentle or kind, but I'll be there soon, with medicines. It would help if you had an idea of what was in the tranquilizer, and any potential side effects or interactions.

[She'll manage without knowing that if she has to, but it would be convenient.]

[vengeance_driven]

Ahhhhh

[He looks at the dart.]

This ah... It's not the type that paralyzes people, but the one that makes them go to sleep. But it worked faster than any of the ones I have ever run into. With most, it takes minutes. With this? He went down immediately. So it is pretty strong shit. Hopefully it goes just as quick.
