St. Cyrill dropped his AK as he ran along, clutching his wounded shoulder. He didn't speak.

'Ya think?!' Esther grumbled inwardly, and slid nervously into the driver's seat after unbuckling her seat belt. She looked in the side mirror, and then hit the gas peddle with all she had, pursing her lips, as she peered into the darkness ahead. She swerved the car back and forth just enough that they would have a bit of trouble if they tried to shoot back.

((Ehh. I'll do it later.))
"Keep it steady!" Gray shouted as he began to fire back at the Canadian guards. He was still firing the anesthetic darts. "And go faster! We need to get clear of them!"

"Where can we find a place to do that?" Xander asked Conner.

"Mhm..." Esther bit her lip, and tried her best to go faster. She would be lucky if she could remove her hands from the steering wheel when this was over.
((I have writer's block, sorry sweatdrop Oh, and I probably won't be able to post again until Wednsday-ish because I have finals coming up next week))

"Good question," Connor said. "Well, it appears to me that we have two options. One, we could attempt to make our way into EuroLabs. The benefits would include familiar facilities, a loyal staff, and probably the best equipment we can get. The obvious drawbacks would be that if we were caught by government agents, we would be forced to go through their interrogations and tests, and likely never see Tiki and Xander again.
"Our other option is to go to the Swiss facility." He held up a hand to stop Kurtis. "I know that they're our labs' rivals, but the benefit is that they will likely not be under close surveillance. Votes?"
Tiki's shirt shifted to a subtle mix of red and blue - purple? - as he signed for option A. He loved a challenge.
Gray continued firing as they drove. The Canadian agents were gaining, although Gray managed to hit the driver of one of the cars. They pulled to the side, but the other car pulled close to them. The Canadian agents began to fire on them.
Gray ducked down as they attacked, since they were using real bullets. As he ducked, the bag on his back went up over the seat, and a single unlucky bullet tore into it, shattering the containment device.
The black goop began to ooze out of, then suddenly shot forward...into Esther.
((You're up, Gem. You get to roll a die. There's a one out of six chance that you die, and if you live you gain powers. Start brainstorming them.))
Richard, Niola, and St. Cyrill made it away from the village. The drug runners were not eager to follow, since they had nearly been blown up by St. Cyrill's bullets.
They weren't explosive in the sense of fire and boom, but rather that they were extremely destructive, for some reason.
"Where to?" he grunted, reaching for his pain pills.

Xander shrugged, "Either option benefits me equally, but the first sounds more fun."

"A real city," McMullard replied. "A place where we can get a reliable connection, since I got cut off with General Hammond. Although... he heard South America, he might be able to get someone to tell him where we went."

((Longer posts, guyz. Please?))
Connor sighed and rolled his eyes. "You are just like our Mr. Xero, Xander. Always looking for a challenge."
He turned to Kurtis as he drove. "I'll abstain for now. What is your choice, Dr. Sewell?"
St. Cyrill nodded, popping the last two pills from his bottle into his mouth. He began to relax a bit at a time.
"All right. That sounds good. I'd like nothing more than to get out of here." He scooped up a rock as they went, tossing it up and down thoughtfully.

"Swiss," Kurtis replied after a while. "I value my life and I'm clearly not a fighter."

Connor couldn't help laughing. "I'm seeing a pattern here. The mercenaries, skilled fighters, are all for going in, guns blazing. The two scientists are more for the nonviolent approach.
"I'm with you, Kurtis. I say we go to the Swiss facilities. And, in the event of a tie, Tiki, how do we settle it?"
Tiki's shirt faded to a powder blue as he smiled broadly, clearing sharing a memory that the two of them had. He reached into his pocket and produced a battered old coin, worn and scratched. Connor's eyes widened in surprise.
"I can't believe you still have that!" he said disbelievingly. "Well, Tiki, flip it. Xander, if you would do the honor of calling it?"
Tiki deftly slid his thumb under the coin, popping it up in the air. It spun, end over end, light glinting on its edge.
((Call it, Jacob.))

"Tails." Xander called, briefly.
He watched the coin flip end over end and waited for Tiki to catch it.

The coin shone in the sunlight, seeming to freeze, then Tiki's hand darted out and snagged it from the air.
He slapped it down on the back of his hand, then pulled his hand back to reveal...
Tails.
"Damn," Connor murmured in exasperation. "Looks like we go to EuroLabs."
He spun the car in a tight U-turn and they blasted back the way they had come.

((NO, I REFUSE
I HATE YOU
GO AWAY))
McMullard nodded slowly. "Careful," he told St. Cyrill, a little too late. "Don't wanna overdose." Even though St. Cyrill was a soldier, there was no promise he was thinking clearly enough to not be drugging himself up. Thankfully, Niola was driving, so that wouldn't become an issue just yet. Please, don't let it become an issue just yet.
