Whatever you were in the middle of doing, you suddenly find yourself in what appears to be an abandoned garage, in the blink of an eye.

There is a bunch of weird-looking technology everywhere, cables and wires connected to machines lined with blinking lights. There are screens all over the room, with grids and maps on some of them and scrolling, foreign text on others. One of the screens projects a constantly rotating image.

There's also a platform in the middle of the room. And you all happen to be standing on it.

Just get him there. I'll take care of the rest.

[Luckily the creature doesn't really understand language, or they'd be in trouble right now. As it is, it simply stomps after Utena, toward the trap.

Once it's over the cylinders, the woman presses the button on a small remote she's holding: the cylinders quickly extend into a net of poles, virtually imprisoning the creature and rendering it unable to move for the time being. It's still able to make the breathy moaning sound, though, so it's still quite conscious.

The woman steps into the construction zone, one hand still at her side as the other clutches the remote. The digitized voice at her wrist comes through again, speaking intelligibly this time.] Contain him now before this becomes an even bigger disaster.

[The woman rolls her eyes and turns to Utena.] Thank you.

[princelyspirit]

[And now that the thing is trapped, Utena finally has a chance to breathe. She runs her hand through her sweaty hair, panting heavily, and every muscle in her legs start to twitch in unison.]

Don't mention it. Seriously, if it wasn't for you, that thing would still be going after us. Just... what the heck is it, anyway?

[97995]

[She opens her mouth to reply, but the voice at her wrist cuts her off.] We're already going to get suspended for this. Do you want to lose our license?

[The woman brings her wrist up to speak into it in the same rapid-fire, foreign language as before, apparently arguing with the voice on the other end.

And while she's distracted, the creature starts to crack through the poles.]

[princelyspirit]

[Ohhh, that's not a good sign. Utena chokes, and turns to face the stranger]

Hey, uh, I hate to interrupt, but I think you'll want to take a look at this!

[The woman glances up, then starts.]

Damn! That's never happened before --

[The creature violently busts through the poles containing it at this point, making its low, breathy noise again. The woman raises the remote she's still clutching and presses a second button ...]

[zeiram]

[And from the remote shoots out a small bolt of electricity, shocking the being. It appears as a taser at first as electricity arcs around its body, but eventually walls form up one by one and the creature is encased in a large, polygonal box.

It seems frozen and unresponsive. So it probably won't bust out this time. Probably.]

[princelyspirit]

[Utena startles when the creature busts through the poles, and she reaches automatically for a weapon that isn't there. Soon, though, it's trapped again, and she lets out a loud sigh of relief.]

So, that's that, right? We won't have to worry about anymore daring escapes from him?

[97995]

[The woman sighs too, slowly lowering the device in her hand. She glances sidelong at Utena.]

No. You're safe. We're safe.
