Broken

[Nox]

Nox cleaned up his own mess despite Christian's protests. He had a feeling he was going to frustrate the whole lot of them by the end of this whole thing. Whenever that was. By the time Nox explained to Cruz and Dorian what he thought the problem was - which was little since he had no clue only a vague idea. He was no expert on this no matter what they may think. He was just as new to it all as them.

Nox had just entered his room again. They would have to rely on the house security for now. Nox would make sure to perfect the weaves needed to lay the early warning system sometime tomorrow - maybe. He did have things he had to do in the morning, hopefully Dorian would understand.

The room was quiet and he sat down on the bed and nearly jumped at the sound of Sage's voice on his wallet. "You needed to talk?"


Nox set the wallet on the bed and turned the holo screen on. It was easier than holding the phone. Sage commented. "You look even worse than earlier."


Nox grinned. "Yeah, shit hit the fan. Something's going on at the Kremlin or wherever the Ascendancy lives. The news is saying that two ambulances left the Kremlin. I need you to check on Aria for me. I know she had a mission to kill Ascendancy - her mission lead her to work for him. I don't know what's going. I need to know, Sage."


Sage nodded. "Okay."
Nox watched as Sage kinda stared off into lala land for a while. Nox sat back on his bed and pulled the sound weave back up. He didn't think the problem of tripping it lay with the mechanism outside of it but with the sound weave itself. While Nox waited he played with various methods of tying off the weave so that when it was untied it would create the sound.

Nox played while Sage just stared off into space. Nox was untying pulling the threads of the sound weave when Sage came back to the screen. "I..."
Bang! The windows shook and Sage yelled, "What the fuck was that?"


Nox grinned. "That's the sound of success."
Now you could trip over the wire, untie the knot and bam sound. It would be an experiment in how far apart sound weaves could go but it was working. He smiled happily to himself. "You got something."


Sage nodded. "Aria is unconscious - alive. Burned and broken ribs accordding to her chart - but they don't know why she's not awake. She was admitted to Central Clinical Hospital with Marcus DuBois, Ascendancy's Sigma. Or so I can gather from the photos I've seen. They aren't releasing names just yet. I don't know anything about Ascendancy - do you want me to look?"


Nox nodded. He felt a little bit of relief it didn't look like Aria was under arrest - otherwise why take her to the same hospital with it's pricey care. I doubted they did pro-bono stuff. "Yeah see what you can find out. Let me know. I need to make a phone call."


Sage nodded. "I'll let you know what I find out."
And the connection dropped, Aria was alright. He needed to call Elyse.
