In reply to: Mark Hale 's message, "Mark was certain Rotor had gotten him killed..." on 20:23:43 08/15/01 Wed

Hale had never seen anyone move so fast before. One minute, the merchant-trader had been by the door, agitated by the presence outside of Teresa and Rotor, oblivious of the darker happenings deeper in the more derelict portions of the residential sector. But in less than a minute he was beside Hale, and Mark felt something pinch his left arm. Forgetting entirely about his mock pains now that Javier had been distracted away from the door, he looked in disbelief at a spot of blood on his sleeve and the looming figure of Javier holding not his gun, but some kind of hypodermic needle with a clear glowing liquid. The horror of realization dawned on Mark as he realized what the fluid he had been injected with was.

"It will take a few moments Dr. Hastings, but I assure you you will feel positively INVIGORATED. I'm certain I found what I suspect I did! I've been sampling it the whole way here and let me tell you it is AMAZING--far better than any mere energespresso or Star Frappachinio! Oh, we'll still take our little trip to confirm it. After all, I wasn't completely lying when I said I only that small sample; it's practically all I have left!

You and I will be hailed as pioneers in the industry my friend! Should you survive, unlike my clearly weak pilot, you and I will be proof of 142.131.251.514's power and existence! We'll never be sick or weak again! You'll get more than fame and fortune; they'll probably reinstate your license! Come now doctor, what do you say? You should feel like a new man! Why do you look so ill?

But as Mark Hale's face contorted, and he doubled over in agony, the burning within was no feint this time. Drenched in sweat, a tingling chill sliced through his body before the ringing in his ears drowned out everything Javier was saying...
