IC Contact Post

[Screened calls go straight to voicemail, where an impatient recording answers]

You've reached Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. Leave your name, number, and business if you expect a return call. Thank you.

He doesn't have the coordinates, Newton. I can't do anything without them.

As he says. It will still be a few hours before we can move.

And - and I would be very grateful if you did take all precautions possible. Precision will be absolutely key.

[ If Gregor is hurt because of the teleport, after everything else ... Miles really won't be okay. Instead of only kind of not okay now. ]

Rest assured, there are no dangers inherent in my ability.

[Well okay, if he got some numbers wrong, Gregor could end up in a very dangerous situation, but his math is never wrong. Still, he'll make extra sure every digit is absolutely correct; he has hours, after all]

'We'? Miles, you can't be going if you're hospitalized.

[ Miles appreciates it, really. ]

It's only broken legs. I could - I could surely do something.

...Until you break something else. Like your damn head. Stay in bed and work on helping from there.

--God, I hate saying that. [He hates being useless too, Miles, but ...you break so easily.]

I assume you've mobilized the Dendarii then?

[ Miles makes a disgruntled noise over the comm. ]

I am helping from here. Which includes having mobilized the Dendarii, yes. Da already has the details to disseminate.

It sounds like you're coordinating well, then. I'm going to get to work on this teleportation equation. Keep us informed. And if anyone else needs a port out, I'll have energy enough for one more after Gregor is secured.

[ Miles considers that. He should reserve it, for surely someone else will be harmed more at some point during the fight, but ... ]

My brother. Lucifer's trapped him as well. He's the only reason why I know I'll have coordinates in two hours.

Your brother? I can't say I'm familiar with him, so I'll need a bit of a description or some other identifying factor. I'll be sending in a camera to assure the coordinates are correct, so that will be sufficient.

[ Miles awkward little smile is just about audible. ]

His face is one you cannot possibly miss, given it's the same as ours.

[There's a tense pause, then a sigh]

Of course. Peter Kane or whatever his name was. He never said he had any relation to you, but then our only conversation wasn't particularly friendly.

We've found out new information about him since then. He's ... well, he was created to be my clone. An impersonator.

Wait, wait. Asshole Business-Edition-Hermann is your clone? He's pretty shitty at impersonations, the face aside.

Cloned-!?

[The objection is out before he has the grace to stop it and tries to tone it down a bit]

That's.. er, rather sinister.

Yes, it is. I don't know the whole story yet.

Well I will port him out as well- to the hospital or elsewhere?

Hospital, please. He may be hurt as well.

Yes, alright. I'll get started then.

... Thank you. I am truly in your debt.

The only debt I will accept is your brother's. If I'm going to be spending the rest of my energy on him, I'd at least like a sincere expression of gratitude.

... I think I could attempt that, yes.

(no subject)

Fuck.

Well, isn't there something you CAN do? Anything? We can't just--

I'll call the hospital or something. I don't know. To tell them to be ready.

I'm getting the precise coordinates for the emergency room at the moment..

[Tapping through google maps and mobilizing one of his cameras to fly in and camp out]

I can write the equation now, and simply add in Gregor's coordinates when we have them for the most expedient response time. Unfortunately we don't know what to tell the hospital staff to be prepared to deal with so they won't be able to do more than wait until then.

[HUFFS ANGRILY AND PACES, THEN, BECAUSE THIS IS SHITTY AND HE HATES NOT HAVING SOMETHING TO DO ONCE HE KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM.]
