 The former home of Site B stood in ruins. Walls semi-collapsed, metal rusted and doors fallen from their hinges. The creatures who lived here were removed by Chi Vu Tze and released within Revival Incorporated leaving the building once again nothing more than a shell- a derelict. A place for spiders and all manner of tiny little annoying insects. The floors covered in debris, the shelves thick with dust and mold. The corners of the rooms opaqued by what appears to be spider webs. This building is nothing more than a wreck that rests amidst the beauty of a lusterous forest. The air outside maintains a calm clarity about it, it is a shame the same cannot be said for the internals of the building. The air inside is thick with must and dense with dust. It smells stale and old as it strikes anybody who enters- almost with enough force to knock them from their feet. Voices seem to echo through the corridors of happier times, times when life was simple and nothing more than a spy in the works was the most that anybody had to worry about. Alas a lot has taken place since those days- things change as always seems to happen over the process of a life time.This is the last refuge of the damned. The last hope for those with no where left to turn. This is the only place that has been abandoned by X. The only place still under Taos' control- it may be a wreck that is about to collapse but its a safe haven for those of what has become known as the RR- Retlocs Resistance.
The smell of blood may be dispersed within the atmosphere of the building but things are not as dire as they first appear to be. Some of the electricity still works and if one looked hard enough one may even accquire oneself a working computer. The offices and a lot of the belongings still remain here from before the evacuation and a lot of interesting items may even be found around here...

As the night begins to fall a coo is taking place within Project: 6, a security breach and a violent fight have taken place leaving Revival Inc in tatters. The company is now split and is crumbling beneath X's mighty fist. The resistance have taken it upon themselves to liberate a wretched hollow man from his cage within the Observation Room and to topple the X Empire in one fowl swoop. It appears things have not quite gone to plan so far. A recon mission was blown wide open by a security alert and as some members of Revival Inc laid their dead to rest after the violent after effects of the outbreak the resistance put their plan into action. The memorial service finished sooner than expected and as it did the recon mission was shattered with X's arrival back to Project: 6...

Is it ok to post here?
Edit: Not for you. You're in the office building.

Tao stumbled through the front doors- his clothes were not of their usual high standards- simply spares that he kept in his drawer in case of an emergency. He leant against the wall for a moment to catch his breath and to remember where the lab was. He sighed a heavy sigh and gasped for a quick breath before moving off down the corridor- the cold walls were a change from the office building. Taos feet shuffled along the floor as he made his way to the door that led into the lab...

*Retloc followed Tao with a morbid curiousity. It was just...so deppressing. Hopeless. For the first time, completely hopeless. He paused for a moment as Tao leaned against the wall, then followed as he got back up*

Tao paused again, this time not to catch his breath but to glance down a corridor. He remembered it so vividly- when Ksrugis experiments had broken out. Tao had been injured slightly but no less managed to make his way out- he couldnt remember how- it seemed like such a blur- what he did remember what loosing his faithful labcoat down that corridor. He moved towards it every glancing towards the ground until he found it- blood stained and tattered he smiled as he knelt down and put it on again- it truely was like the old days he thought to himself.

*Retloc watched as Tao put on his labcoat. Hmm, thought Retloc, it must hold a lot of memories for him...*

Tao struggled his way up from the kneeling position and headed for the lab, he was rapidly getting out of breath again but he knew once he made it to the lab he would be okay for a while- he could regain some of his strength once he got one of the many wheelchairs that were down there in the storage cupboard. After a brief walk along the corridor which seemed to take forever in Taos' mind he finally made it into the lab- he noticed Retloc was still following him, as Tao made his way to the storage cupboard he yanked the doors open and dragged out a folded up wheelchair, he attempted to unfurl the contraption but stumbled backwards- he looked at Retloc for a moment- had Tao become too proud to ask for help?

*As Retloc watched Tao struggle to open the wheelchair, he felt a strange combination of pity and recklessness. He didn't care if Tao didn't want him to help, he had to do something. He couldn't just let Tao struggle. He went over to Tao and opened the wheelchair, then set it down for Tao to sit in. He looked up at Tao, as though wondering whether Tao had wanted him to help.*

Tao couldnt help but crack a little smile at Retloc, a fleeting grin that all but disappeared in a few seconds- he didnt want to show that he still cared in any shape or form. He struggled up and collapsed back into the wheelchair. He turned to Retloc as his hands moved on the wheels- Tao was no stranger to wheelchairs, in his reckless youth he had spent several weeks confined to one after a small explosion in his basement- he had been toying with chemicals- the kiddy chem playset released by G-Corp if he remembered correctly. He looked up at Retloc- it was a first- usually he looked down on him- Tao being a tall chap and all. He pointed a finger at Retloc and motioned him to draw nearer...

*Retloc leaned forward warily. What if Tao wanted to hit him? Nevertheless....he couldn't help but trust Tao. *

Tao whispered in Retlocs ear with a calm voice that sounded wrought with fear and angst,
"Death be not proud.... though some have... have... called thee mighty...... and dreadful........ thou art not so...."
Tao leaned back in his wheelchair and gasped a deep breath, he had memorised that saying somewhere he even wrote it down but the paper had gone- somebody had taken it...

*Retloc leaned back sadly. Tao felt he was already dead...*
C'mon, Tao.
Let's go...
*Retloc gripped the back of Tao's wheelchair*

Taos' head lowered as he was pushed away by Retloc. How pathetic he thought to himself. He prayed and hoped that this weakness was only temporary and that he would get full use of his speech and body back soon...
