Panacea (Operation Shoot 'Em in the Chest and Lower Extremities) [OPEN]

[notlewis]

Bleary-eyed toil brought results, and there was a cure for ROM-199A. Now the problem came with administering it.

Down in the city, the makeshift strike team wielded modified tranquilizer rifles and each of them had 12 cure rounds to use. The infected needed to be struck solidly in order for the cure to be injected-- they were instructed to aim for the chest, though a shot in the arm or leg that hit and stuck would work as well.

It's like paintball, except with deadly pathogens!


Meanwhile, up in Quarantine, those who didn't feel comfortable with shooting their crewmates in the face chest and lower extremities were charged with curing those who had already been subdued and contained.

That was more like tag than paintball, except with deadly pathogens, of course.


(ooc: If you signed up here or here, fire away. If you want to participate but didn't sign up, fire away. If you're infected, tag in to your victim of choice and tear those jerks apart before they shoot you in the face chest and lower extremities! THROW-DOWN! Remember, give the newbs and less plot-fortunate first shot. HAVE FUN.)

Don't hold your breath. She was eager to see exactly how well these guns reacted, how well they fired. Once she knew that for sure, she'd know exactly how ranged she needed to be.

"Call me Hit Girl," she said. "It's what I go by."

"Right then. It's a pleasure, Hit Girl." Cinque offered her free hand to the other girl. It was a bit of a strange name, but she could understand if she wanted to be secretive.

"I'm Cinque."

It would have taken too long to explain the whole hero thing, not to mention why she was still going by Hit Girl even though she had little to worry about as far as a secret identity thing was concerned.

"Who is your friend?"

"Einhart Stratos," Cinque said. She wasn't really expecting Hit Girl to recognize the name at all; after all, Vivio had said that the other girl had been quarantined before Cinque arrived. Since Hit Girl said she had no friends yet, it was safe to assume that she, too, was a newbie.

"She's a friend from home, so I'm very worried."

"Nice to meet you," Mindy said after thinking about what she was going to say. She really had to get used to the whole cordial thing, especially when she was in the costume. She tended to be brusque and judging from the Omnicom thing, that was apparently a bad thing for some reason.

"Any idea how it was created in the first place?"
