Tommy put on his most amiable grin as Moreau stepped out of the jeep and faced him. .oO(Goddamn, so this man is the cause of all our trouble?) Tommy steals a glance at Alec before looking back to Moreau, .oO(Yep...Alec's about ready to s**t his pants from the looks of it...huh...he reminds me of some of my cadre from basic...the way he holds himself...Jesus Tommy, get a hold of yourself.)
"Hey there! The good Doctor Moreau. So glad you could find some time in your busy schedule to pay one of your newer subjects a visit. We can do this as painless, or as hard, as possible. It's up to you. But first, why don't you come closer so I don't have to yell?"

Aubrey's face fell a bit as Moreau didn't acknowledge her. She found herself wondering if he was still mad at her, or if this was part of his plan. He had to have a plan, right? It just wouldn't be like Moreau to look so smug without one.
But a rush of red scales caught her eye and she glanced over, seeing Zachary. Something snapped inside her and, not even thinking logically, she lurched back against Alec a bit, her eyes going saucer like. "NO! No, Nicky, please get him away from me!" she screamed in a panicked voice.

"It'll be alright Aubrey... it'll be fine." Moreau motioned to her and out stretched his hand towards Zach.
"Right here will do thank you very much Mr. Christian. Now, if you kindly release my fiance we can resolve this without you regretting it. Because if something happens to her, I swear to god, that they'll all be in cages for the rest of their years and you... you Mr. Christian and Mr. Derring will both learn there are worse things than death." The look on Moreau's face was one of confidence, but he had to keep his focus.

Alec jerked back to trying to compensate for Aubrey's flailing, her sudden movement jerking the hand which was still holding the needle at bay. This outburst brought Zach to his attention, the red dragon's features striking him cold with fear while his memory slowly replayed the only event where he'd seen such a person. A red man dragged into a jeep.
Shakily turning his eyes back to the siltuation at hand, the irish youngster managed to recollect his resolve, including his hold on Aubrey. The jerking had unfortunately caused more of a wound than the initial pin-p***k had created and it was only a matter of time before crimson fluid would rise to the surface of the skin.
Unaware of this, he quickly looked to Tommy for verification that he should indeed let the woman go free.

As soon as Aubrey screamed, he knew the whole thing was up. Mentally he slapped himself. Wait around and see what happens, no one would notice him! He stuck out like a thumb with second-degree burns here.
This was an excellent time to high-tail it.
Doctor Moreau's odd gesture confused him. Why would he want him any closer to Aubrey given what she just screamed at him? He glanced between her and Moreau again, then took some tentative steps forward, looking around as cluelessly as he was about the entire situation he had been trying to spy on.

The sound of a cry of distress is all it takes to draw the vulture from the jungle -- she had been wandering today, and was skirting the edge of the village when she had heard it.
Kaveri tensed, clinging to her walking stick as she drew nearer to the village proper, dragging a hand along one of the duplex walls as a cluster of people came into her view. What was going on? Pressing on forward, she got a little closer until she was leaning against the front corner of the duplex and watching, listening.
She didn't recognize anyone immediately, other than Aubrey.

Amaya peeked her head around one of the duplexes and froze.
A jeep? Alec?
She could only stare on, mouth agape.

.oO(Fiance huh? ...seems Alec hit the jackpot) Out of the corner of his eye he spots Zach. There is a momentary freeze in his mental calculations as he comprehends just what he is. A quick glance in his direction is the only outward sign of this though. While keeping tabs on the newly arrived Zach and the freaked out Aubrey, Tommy is still able to hold his gaze with Moreau. If basic training taught him one thing, it was how to keep a good situational awareness. He holds up a hand to Alec, a guesture which says 'Don't let her go, hold on to her' before replying to Moreau.
"You just don't get it, do you Doctor Moreau? We're holding all the cards here, not you. So if I were to tell you to get your firecrotch over here so I don't have to yell, you are going to do it...Alec? If the good Doctor Moreau does not start walking over here in three seconds .oO(Oh God...what am I saying!?) plug a couple of drops into his fiance."

Aubrey swallowed her cries as the needle dug painfully into her neck. She hissed between her teeth, focusing her gaze on Moreau and trying to ignore the hulking red monster. The scars of her belly seemed to ache just thinking about it, and she paled a bit.
At Tommy's threat, however, she had to forcibly restrain a whimper. She didn't trust Tommy for a second, and when he demanded Moreau come closer Aubrey threw Nick a pleading look and willed him not to give in, barely moving her head enough to shake it 'no.'

Kaveri couldn't help it, she had to get even closer to the whole mess. She dragged her stick along the ground as she got closer, now out in the open.
She was not happy with what she saw.
"What kind of game are you ******** kids playing?" The vulture called out, raising her head up and stranding up straight to make herself appear taller. "Dis doesn't look like no cowboys and indians s**t, what de <********> are you up to?"

"Mr. Christian, I don't think you quite grasp who really holds the cards here. But perhaps this is getting out of hand... everyone freeze." as the chips new feature kicked in. After all, the chips were already hooked up the central nervous system, it was just a matter of having them programmed for a different command. This command though, caused all of the existing chipped subject's bodies to go rigid. They could hear, think, and feel, but not move.
Moreau walked up to Aubrey, her chip on a seperate subset than than the rest, not part of the everyone command. He walked up and pushed Alec's hand away from the needle. Moreau laughed maniacly "Those chips are already connected to your spinal colomn How hard do you think this was going to be."
"How dare you... how... dare you." Moreau's hidden anger now comming full force as he knocked Alec over.
"She's done so much for all of you worthless creatins and then you do this. How dare you." Moreau continued to punch Alec's face as it got bloodier and bloodier. He then stood up and walked over to Tommy, knocking him over and raising the needle above him. Everyone unable to do anything but helplessly watch unable to move.

Alec felt the fizzle of an electrical shock and then felt absolutely nothing. He couldn't move his limbs, his breathing becoming shallow and almost nonexistant, he couldn't even cry for help. The teen watched as the Doctor came barrelling towards him, knocking his hand away before knocking him down. The next second all he knew was the unbearable pain from the trauma to the face.
When the man's body moved off of him he could only lay there motionless, senses alive with the scent of his own blood. He couldn't see Tommy from where he was but at that moment, he didn't much care.

.oO(Oh ******** walk on over...I don't know if drain-o would definately kill someone but I don't want to find out...just walk on over plea...WHAT THE ********!?) Tommy's body goes rigid, a half-way look of surprise frozen on his face. Out of his peripheral vision, he can see Alec get his face punched in again and again. "No...NONONO! It wasn't his idea! IT WAS ME! IT WAS ALL ME! DEAR GOD STOP IT!" He tries to scream out, but of course, nothing comes through.
As Moreau walks over to him, Tommy was helpless for his sbare of what he could guess will be a long...long vindication on Moreau's part. All he can do after being pushed to the ground, is stare up at Moreau and the needle he is holding.

The teen was seconds away from stepping out of hiding to scream Alec's name and get him to stop what he was doing. Afterall, he would only end up hurting himself. But the second she stepped into view everything stopped.
Her body... it wouldn't move...
She tried to scream, to move her legs and run over to the one she cared for the most - but she could only watch. Forced to witness as the red-haired devil plowed over Alec and delivered blow after blow to his face.
Amaya screamed in her mind, thrashing inside herself but unable to move an inch to help him.
It was like being in a nightmare.

Zach, who had been walking nervously toward the scene of the crime, was stopped by the sudden shock in his neck. Everything froze... but he was still awake. This was different, but not in a good way. He continued staring forward, watching the doctor attacking the two islanders. Not a muscle seemed to react, though his breathing seemed to still work, if a little faint. And only then did he figure out what was going on - those two had tried to kill Aubrey.
