Summary: A previous leader of TASK returns from her long absence to meet with the current TASK director. |
TASK BUILDING LOBBY Even this late at night the TASK building is busy with activity. Though they do not have much in the way of man-power what few people have remained in the service of TASK after its change of leadership and the constant terrorist attacks it has received are quite the dedicated bunch. Even here at the lobby, people go in and out, accountants, officers and civilians bringing in and out gear of all kinds. At the center of this small, but very turbulent, whirlwind of activity stands quite the sight. There is a man here dressed in start contrast to others. While TASK employees are usually garbed in suits or at least some kind of armor, this man wears what appears to be Aztec garb. He is totally bare chested, with glowing tattoos running across his body, wearing little more than gauntlets, a loincloth, greaves, sandals, and a very fierce looking eagle helmet with large colorful feathers sticking out from the back. This man's skin is also turquoise in color. More than just his height of nearly seven feet tall, people run up to him and have him sign papers constantly. He seems to be overseeing the entire operation rather than just standing there looking intimidating. An educated guess would say this guy's in charge.
Walking in looking like that is going be earning Satyrn more than a couple of looks and one of the guards has the good sense of prodding Kotal. "Sir." He says motioning towards the girl that just walked in. Here in Twisted, you never know if the ragamuffin waif you're talking to is a goddess in disguise.. or just some street urchin! So its always best to send in your best card first in case things get really dire. "I'll handle it." Says Kotal and advances towards the girl that looks very worse for wear. "Good evening, citizen." "Are you in need of assistance?"
"I am now its sole director." Listening to Satyrn's story, Kotal looks pensive for a moment and thinks. "Crux.. ah yes.. I know of him though I have never met him." Now how is it that -Kotal- should put getting a crap load of memories inserted in his mind? "Do you know of Caliga? He has been very.. informative." Though he appears to be like a blood thirsty warlord, Kotal at least has some manners and extends a hand towards the girl. "You appear injured. Allow me to heal your wounds."
His palm glows gold and a beam of pure sunlight showers over Satyrn, mending her wounds and easing whatever pain she may have. Once the healing is finished, the Aztec addresses Satyrn's next batch of questions. "That is a -very- convoluted question, and one I am not entirely sure I am in the liberty of answering. I can tell you this much though; Caliga was not pleased with the end result, even if it meant Twisted's continued existence." Perhaps, rather unexpectedly, Kotal throws his head back in laughter when Satyrn assumes Caliga is somehow in charge. "Caliga!? In charge!? HA HAHA!" He shakes his head. "Merciful Eldergods, no. He is not, he is naught but an informant at this point and I would like to keep it that way." "As for Crow and the other ranks the old TASK used to have, I have done away with all that. Now there is only me, my Chosen Warriors, and the odd mercenary."
Kotal takes the blessing graciously, simply doing a short bow and a nod of his helmet covered head. "You are quite welcome." Then another nod when she mentions the different rank system in TASK, or lack there of. "Admittedly, our numbers are not many at this juncture and there is little need for a ranking system. In the future, I may need to revise it." Alright, so here come the real challenge. Trying to pick memories apart from his brain to try to remember people he doesn't know and he has never met. Memories, might I add, that aren't his to begin with. Well, Kotal decides to start with the easy one, and that's the AI. "Gegoshi is very much alive much to my tremendous displeasure." He has some really strong opinions about her despite never meeting her apparently. "She seems to be bound exclusively to Diablo and though I could greatly use her assistance in the reconstruction of TASK, Diablo no doubt takes much joy in preventing me from using her." "Diablo and I are very much at odds." He explains. "As for the others.. it is difficult.. the memories given to me are fractured.. the more time they spend in my subconscious, the harder they are to access." He pauses, thinking hard. "Most of them are lost for certain, though I am not entirely sure any has been killed. Nevertheless, I have never personally met any of the one you speak of." Satyrn nods. She didn't have much dealings with the Synth Gegoshi, other than using her for information and what not. She was more connected with Talinfar. "Diablo? Then I'll go talk with him next." She pulls out her G-Pad, which has the big red letters "OFFLINE" on it, "Any idea where he might be? I used to be able to use this, but...looks like Gegoshi's system doesn't work anymore."
Then as talk changes to Diablo, Kotal simply motions with his thumb sideways. "You'll find him next door in Town Hall. Though you could also call him out in the Arena, that is what I normally do when I have business with him. It is.. more effective."
Though he can't help but chuckle when the girl wishes Kotal's 'village' prosperity. "My village is now the city of Twisted. I will see it grow strong and powerful, just like Tenochtitlan and Outwrold before it." Looks like this guy has some experience ruling. As she moves further away he yells over at her. "You are always welcome to join us again in TASK. We could use any assistance you could provide."
