Log:The Act of a Patriot

2015/05/25 Allam Allison Indira Porter Rose Yutaka 1

Yutaka sends another message <>

The doors glide open to admit a warm zephyr and a small woman with a satchel. As the doors close behind her rose smiles. "Hello Miss Temple, how are you?" Her attention moves around the other customers, pausing briefly on each.

<>

Allam responds <>

Coffee shops are the lifeblood of the young and energetic, or maybe they're less energetic until they -get- their coffee. Allison is configured in... less disturbing, more human-looking outward appearance. It is all just a visual thing though. She seems to not even be paying attention to where she's going. So it is that she approaches the automatic doors... which open when they sense her approach, but she walks face first right into the left side frame of the door. That makes her look up from the display she was studying... of course, that display was on a small handheld computer that has now fallen to the floor when her surprised ramming speed incident caused her to drop it.

Yutaka texts back, <>

Indira sits at a booth near the back of the coffee shop, where a waitress places a mug of boiling water on her table before walking off. The woman's skin is a light blue, with white petals that look like short hair on her head. The table next to her has a man in a black suit and sunglasses seated there with a cup of coffee, facing the entrance to the coffee shop alertly.

Allam walks in wearing a dark black quarter length pea-coat, and dark sunglasses. He looks around the room for Yutaka, eager to get to this meeting. He spots Yutaka and the client and heads towards them.

Allam

Very private network security professional, who's renowned for his services. Highly sought after for his expertise. Rarely ever seen in public and denys all interview requests. Most assume some form of agoraphobia. Records indicate a malicious hacking charge when he was 15. No conviction. Good looking, always dressed well, usually in jeans and a black blazer with a colored button up shirt underneath. Usually wears glasses.

Allam smiles at Yutaka and his client.

Allam as he walks over he offers his hand and says, "I am Allam Fayton. I'm here about a contract."

Yutaka sits with Indira, Black suited as well, but more fashionable..He has a latte in front of him. Stands up and walks over to Allam when he see's Allison hit the door and her tablet falls. Putting up a finger he says, "Excuse me Mr. Fayton.." and he reaches down to pick up the tablet offering it back to Allison.

Rose turns and looks about to pick up the dropped tablet when Yutaka pre-empts her. "Sorry Miss Temple." She glances over her shoulder to the back of the coffee shop, her eyes narrowing slightly then looks back to Allison. "Are you ok?"

Fashion is -not- the sort of thing Allison deals with. She's dressed in a black sweatshirt and bluejeans. Shoes and no socks. She shakes her head to clear it like she just got punched by a strong left jab in the nose... and then blinks a bit, looking to Yutaka. "Oh hey, thanks." she remarks as she plucks it from his hand. The odd thing is that she -looks- normal, but when she takes the computer, her fingers feel more metallic than fleshy. She smirks to Rose and shrugs, "Julius has started -not- warning me about stuff like that. I think he's trying to get me to focus a bit less intently on my projects..." she adds as she rolls her eyes. "But Ms. Temple is so formal!"

Coffee. Energy. Everyone needs that. That's not odd. What could be odd is the fact that Porter walks in, and doesn't walk into the door. It opens for him. Even more surprising? He doesn't walk into Allison who just walked into the door frame?

How could this be? It can only be the power of Kysmette. Or pink. Theyre almost one and the same, with the pink carrier strapped to Porter's chest holding the pink-onsied, pink-socked, and pink-knit-capped baby to him. It's her giggling coo that brings Porter's attention to Allison and Rose before he might collide. "Oh. Hey, Allison. Hey, Rose." He waves. Even Kysmette does, too. Just more flailingly.

Allam thinks "Boy, this place is busy."

Indira sticks her finger into her mug of hot water as it's cooled enough to do so, and stirs the waters slightly. The water soon tints a light lavendar color as the alien ambassador watches all the activity leisurely, distracted by all the subtle neurochemical connections he's forming to better understand human behavior.

Yutaka nods to Porter, but doesn't greet him...perse. Turning back to Allam he nods, "Yes, it can be, its also..a good meeting place, as this is an impromptu meeting, I thought this would be as good a place as any, thank you for meeting with me, I know it was Last minute.."

Rose nods to Porter and Kysmette. "Hey Porter, I know, I'm trying to avoid annoying people, I figure sticking to being polite should help." Her shoulders lift in a small shrug.

Allam smiles at the baby and turns to Yutaka, quickly returning to business. "I'm used to it- surprisingly enough, so what's going on?"

Yutaka leads Allam towards the table, "Please, join us, can I get you something to drink first?" as he walks to the table, he introduces Indira, "This is Ambassador Indira...My client, and she has a profound need."

Rose looks from the rose-clad bundle of baby to the corner where Allam, Yutaka and Indira sit. "Why don't we sit over here." She suggests... indicating a booth in the diagonally opposite corner as far as she can find from the others. There is one booth further away and it looks like rose momentarily considers throwing the octagenarians occupying it out onto the street but apparently her resolve to be not as annoying curbs even that ambition.

Allam follows Yutaka, "A coffee if you don't mind. Black."

Taking the computer into her hand, Allison sets it on a tabletop and then heads over to the counter where she says to the counterperson. "I'd like one vanilla cappucino. And.." she looks back about the room with a shrug. "Oh, what the heck. I know it's not a bar, but I'll buy a round." she states before heading back to the computer. Of course, that little computer of hers has been running, the display glowing over top of it... She smiles as she sees Kysmette and says, "Ah Porter. I'll have to make sure my redundant firewalls are working well." But she sits down with her drink and a the flick of a wrist, the holographic display from the small little computer. Ironically, about the size of a half dollar... flicker and split into half a dozen displays, all showing different aspects of some gravitic/physics equation she's been working on. And then... <> That's her AI talking in her head, duh. She blinks a bit and pulls her eyes from the displays... glancing over towards Indira.

Allam offers his hand to Indira with a friendly smile on his face.

Allam says, "I'm sure I can be of service. Its obviously urgent for someone of your stature to be meeting at a place like this."

Allam rubs his neck "Not that this place isn't nice- I just meant how quickly our meeting was needed."

Allam thinks to himself "this is why I have these meetings online... Ok back to being a social toad."

Yutaka nods.."Ambassador, if you will give me a minute, I'll be right back.." and he heads over to the counter ordering a simple black coffee. It doesn't take almost any time for the coffee to be prepared, and Yu returns to the table. "Here you are Mr. Foyton." offering the mug to Allam.

Indira draws her finger out of her now made tea and wipes it dry with a napkin before extending her hand gracefully to Allam. "It is pleasing to greet you," she says in a heavy accent that almost sounds somewhere between french, or maybe italian. "Yes," she says as her eyes sweep across the room to the odd characters that make her bodyguard in the adjacent table nervous. The bodyguard at least has heard of the infamous Porter and thinks everything could go to hell at any moment. He starts to radio back to HQ to give a situation update. "Mr. Mason would be most unpleased with this location as a meeting place. But it was Yutaka's decision we meet at this place."

Porter quirks a brow at Rose, at whom Kyssie waves again. Full body thrash. Because she knows her. "Well, I won't argue with that... and I haven't set any wall on fire, Allison. Not lately?" He give Yu a friendly nod, but lets him get back to his business. Porter's business is at the counter, so he heads there to order himself up a coffee. The usual, but just not so hot.

Allam nods curtly.

Yutaka nods "It Was Mr. Foyton." he offers his hand finally, "Yutaka Yamaoka..perhaps you've heard of me?"

"Porter.." says Allison as she is looking about the room. "You'd think that you of all people would learn to like iced coffee. It ends up in your lap often enough." she remarks as she looks over towards the meeting going on.  she replies to her AI. She shrugs and then sips her own beverage.

Allam says, "Actually- I have heard of you."

Allam drinks his coffee and scans the room, waiting to hear more about this contract. "That's exactly why I was so curious about your message."

Rose's lips purse as she sees the direction of Allison's gaze and she glances between Allison and Porter. "So has there been much exciting happening. I can't help but notice that spring is in the air... along with a few other things."

Yutaka smiles, "Good...please have a seat, I'll give you the generalities of the it all, and if you're still interested, we will set up a more formal meeting to discuss terms and such.."

Allam sits down and takes off his glasses.

Indira draws up her cup to take a delicate sip, then smiles up at Allam. "Yes, Yutaka understands my office's needs. There are many."

Porter gets his cup, and seems to carry it like highly unstable matter, held way away from Kyssie. "I do like iced coffee, but it's almost as bad as hot when you spill it on yourself..." Then he opens his mouth to answer Rose. Stops. Closes his mouth. Pauses. Then smirks. "Yeah, been a little bit going on, but... not all of it's bad." As if anyone needed to ask him.

Yutaka nods, "Mr. Foyton, The ambassador has hired me to set up the security systems for her office's needs. She has multiple locations and I require some sophisticated programming, I can do it, but..I've seen your work, and I think this is something I can work with you on to finish in a more timely manner."

Allam smiles happily at Yutaka & Indira. "It seems you've found your man. I'd be happy to help you guys out. I'm sure I can beat whatever timeline you have. Though I should probably ask before i say that- What is the timeline?"

Yutaka chuckles, "For someone like yourself, It should be adequate, there is a lot of construction to be had. I will handling the physical side of the construction, but I will need to work with you to work on system specs..sounds like you're already in?"

Allam thinks he may have played his hand too early. "Ugh- yeah let's say I'm intrigued. Plus having the Earth Ambassador as a former client can't hurt my references. So what's the job pay?"

Allam finishes his coffee.

Rose nods to Porter. "I suppose ..." She pauses and then abandonds that conversational gambit. "How's it all going at the gym, Eden has me working on strength and conditioning now, she's absolutely merciless. And she wouldn't let me train there until she'd checked out that I wasn't likely to get blown up by a supervillain or ... anyone else."

Indira continues to sip her self-made tea. Her eyes turn to a quietly, withdrawn looking woman sitting alone at her table. Eventually her head turns as well, her expression sympathetic. "There will be some time. Yutaka would be your main contact through everything. I will be busy with a minor issue involving some aliens being held without trial." Whatever interests her about the lonely looking woman, she turns back to look to Allam. "It won't hurt, unless your future clients are xenophobic."

Yutaka grins, "Oh..well since we have a verbal agreement, Its charity work.."

Well, what she's doing is just... trying -not- to listen to stuff she can't help but hear. Allison transmits to Julius, <> That said, she glances back towards Rose. "Well, I'm actually working on a total revamp of the systems. In the past, all I've done is upgrade was was already there, but... I've got some designs I've been working on." and once again, those holo-displays pop up. "I was pondering a one hundred percent rennovation."

Rose blinks. "One hundred percent sounds like ... a lot... at least more than a little."

Allam says, "Charity work?! Of course it is... pro bono work."

Allam looks at his empty cup and flags down a waitress.

Porter chuckles at Rose's comment after contorting himself to take a sip not over the baby. "Haven't hardly been there at all. And the last time I was..." Another pause, and some surprise, "...I don't think anything broke.." Then he blinks out of that at Allison talking about rennovation. "Um, yeah.. isn't that like remaking the whole place, Sis?"

Allam says, "So Ambassador- how is it you and Mr. Yamaoka got into 'charity work' together?"

"There will be compensation. But I'm not able to compete with large corporate clients like Mr. Yama-oka is used to," Indira struggles with the pronunciation of his name, so she takes it slow and breaks it into two parts. She breaks into a smile. "I think I am, what was it he called me? The charity case."

Shrugging, Allison remarks, "I was just wanting to make the gym out to be perfect. I have all kinds of ideas for it. But.." she shrugs, "The problem would be, any time you do a full rennovation of a place, you have to shut it down for a while. I don't -want- that. Maybe..." she pauses and opens a new display, loading up some data there, "Maybe I can configure some of the nanotech to disassemble and reassemble the stuff during downtime. Hrmm.. that's worth looking into."

Allam says, "Oh well I can see why Mr. Yamaoka would deign his time- and my charity to your cause. I'm not sure how I missed just how huma- I mean pretty you look.""

Yutaka cocks his head to the side, "Pretty?...The Ambassador? Well, I guess." he says, "And yes, as the Ambassador has said, there is a compensation package, but those details are for us to figure out later...this was more a 'get to know you' interview. Make certain that you are, one, interested, and two, a compatible match for me and the Ambassador. At the end of the day, you work for me, but your expertise is what I am looking for, so I will require your opinions on the matters at hand. Fair?"

Allam nods "Of course."

Popping up beside Rose is a mop of silver hair, a pair of furry elongated out to the sides ears and a friendly, if puzzled expression. The girl all of these features are attached to had come in without most people taking notice, difficult to spot for both her small stature and her skill at moving unseen. Fur covers her just enough for a visit to the beach, the tail appropriately still at present. "Hi," she utters, directly to Rose. "Know...me?"

"Flattery, Mr. Fayton, is always appreciated," Indira smiles at his compliment.

Yutaka looks at the Ambassador...hrm.."Perhaps pretty is the right word..but its strange.." he muses to himself..trying to understand...

"Pretty is a fairly subjective term." says Allison, unable to keep her nose out of the conversation anymore. But then.. furry girl. Ally raises both brows and inclines her head, "I know those bracers at least." she remarks with a grin before looking to Rose, "How about you?"

Allam smiles at the Ambassador, hanging on her every word. He looks up at the furry girl and smiles unabashedly. "I suppose I'd have to agree with uh... her."

"Allison, it's been up all this time. Does it really need a-" Porter startles when the ears appear, along with the rest of Vixen. "Oh! Hey, Vix." He grins at her. While Kyssie stares in awe. A new person, up close!

Yutaka blinks..and blinks again. "Ambassador...have you any control of that..?"

Allam ignores Yutaka and continues flirting with the Ambassador. "So do you make it out of the Alien District often?"

Indira tilts her head in consideration of Yutaka's question. "Of...what?" She tends to forget about these things. Allam's question distracts her attention for Yutaka. "No, not often. It hasn't been very safe to wander the city recently." There was an incident on the news about an alien organization named the Guild having infiltrated the United Earth Marshals Services and Stronghold, the metahuman prison where most villains are sent to serve their time. With it has come some anti-alien hysteria in the news from conservative networks.

Rose starts out of her reverie. "Vixen!" How on earth do you do that !" She takes a deep breath. "I don't need all those workouts, just the occasional bit of being terrified is enough to get my pulse rate up."

Rose looks to Allison. "Nanites in the wild so to speak?" She blinks. "Well I'm sure you would have to all under control and that might work, especially since one of your rooms is already variable configuration."

The fuzzy girl's friendly expression sprouts a kind of grin, relaxing as her suspicions are proven correct. "Sorry," she offers at Rose's started state, evidently caused by sneakiness. "Hi," she bids in greeting to Allison, though only vague familiarity seems to be on her face at the moment. She puts her head dangerously close to the infant overlord. One might say deliberately so.

Yutaka shakes his head..and he sometimes forgets his own mental training..he didn't necessarily feel the effects of..well, whatever Violet tried to warn him against in their first meeting, but he's feeling it now, and if not for an extreme effort to see past his hormones, he might be fauning like Mr. Foyton here.

"Well, not in the wild. Just in the gym systems, and only while we're closed for a few hours." says Allison. "I mean, I suppose I could construct all the required mechanisms off site and have them installed but... that'd be even more gruntwork." She waves to Vixen and keeps focused on her displays. "But, if I could disassemble the mechanisms in place and repurpose them on the spot, that would be far more efficient. Plus, Julius and I could handle keeping them in check and inside the building."

Allam says, "Well I'm sure glad to have met both of you. But I'm afraid I have an appointment in a bit across town. Mr. Yamaoka, and Ms. Indira- it's been a pleasure."

Allam slides a card to Indira. "Just in case Mr. Yamaoka isn't available and you need... ugh- technical help. Its got my contact details on it."

Yutaka nods "Pleasure has been mine." he says and offers his hand. "I will contact you again to talk terms. But I am sure this will work out for all of us."

Indira bows her head slowly to Allam, lifting her head with a smile. She places two fingers on the card and draws it closer to her. "Thank you, Mr. Fayton."

Rose nods and opens her mouth but yet again reconsiders what she was going to say. "Sounds entirely faesible." She smiles. "And you're more than able to anticipate and prepare against contingencies, There's a lot of infrastructure you can use."

And a grabby infant she is. With grabby hands. Drool, grabby hands. That reach for hair, cheeks, furry ears, and anything else that might be in reach. Porter looks away from Allison's latest daydream/project/plan and chuckles a warning to Vixen. "Watch out... she got a good grip for hugs..."

Allam nods "I'll certainly be available, Mr, Yamaoka. I'm excited to work with you."

Yutaka smiles, and nods. "Take care Mr. Foyton."

"Hrm, maybe I should work on a new invention. The ultimate configurable baby toy. Something a baby can't destroy, but which won't hurt them." Huh. She shakes her head, now staring at Kysmette.

Indira lifts the card and holds it up at eye level to read it as she asks Yutaka, "So what do you think of him?"

Indira smiles a little, as she's asking his thoughts for polite appearances.

Yutaka shrugs, "Seems young and eager...and very complimentary of the Ambassador. Your thoughts?"

Porter glances sidelong at Allison when she mentions that. "I'm sure she'd love it. But she might find a way to break it. Even if it's indestructible..."

"That's your super power Porter, not hers. Hers is ultra cuteness, and mind control." says Allison as she holds a finger out to Kysmette. She wonders how the girl is gonna like seeing a finger, and feeling a metal rod when she grabs it.

The fox-featured girl gives Kysmette all of the exploration she desires with the head of fuzzy ears, the long hair, without apparent complaint or even discomfort. Her gaze at present is on the Yutaka one, who seems to trigger that same contemplative look of vague recognition without certainty of any kind.

Rose looks from Allison to Kysmette. "Hmm... a macroscopic bucky ball perhaps?" Her lips purse. "A piece of white dwarf might be a bit heavy,m maybe building blocks that become adhesive to other surfaces after being coated in saliva."

Porter winces a little, maybe for Vix, as Kyssie grabs. Tugs. Tries to gnaw on. Drools alot. "Or maybe just a stuffed animal?" He chuckles, looking to Rose and Allison. "But thanks for thinking of that. " And then Kyssie sees a finger! So one grabby hand goes for that. He looks down to Kysmette to warn her, "I think your aunts are trying to spoil you... but I guess that's their job?"

"She thinks everyone's job is to spoil her." says Allison, her finger grabbed, and a bit more slick than normal flesh. "You know what she needs? Something that will let her grab on, but not break, and that will not trap someone in her clutches. Also, I bet she'd love a koosh ball that made sounds." Yep, mad scientist is getting mad sciency

"I got an interesting read off of him. Very interesting," Indira answers Yutaka. "He sounds eager, too. Are his skills what you are looking for?"

Yutaka nods, "If he lives up to his reputation, then yes, I will test him though. Don't worry about that. What read did you get from him?"

Indira leans back in her seat and closes her eyes as her hands encircle her tea, nodding her head a few times as if listening to music. "That is harder to explain. Have care with him."

Rose smiles. "Anyway I need to be getting home. I promised Eden I would clean the oven." Taking up her satchel she smiles. "Take care everyone. Keep up the good work Kysmette."

Lifting her free hand, Allison waves to Rose. "Keep safe Rose." she remarks, "And don't stick your head in the oven. I hear that's bad for you."

Letting Kysmette at the finger of justice, Vixen extracts herself from the horrible grip of doom, waving to Rose in the bye that is good.

Yutaka frowns.."Have care..?" he says questioningly..."Perhaps we should find somewhere someplace more private to speak?"

Porter waves to Rose... and even remembers to use the hand not holding the coffee? He chuckles as Kyssie suddenly has two hands, and a mouth! free for the aunty finger.

Indira bows her head once in agreement with Yutaka, her eyes still closed. "That would be best. I sense an ill mind here." Her eyes open and flit to her bodyguard sitting at the table adjacent, and he's up on his feet rapidly.

With everyone she has familiarity with abandoning the place, Vixen looks about, confused again, turning one of the chairs sideways so she can have a place of relaxation. She rests her chin on her arm, which lays over the back of her sidechair, contemplation now featured on her face.

Yutaka nods, and stands, He looks around, there are a lot of people here, and any one of them could have it out for the Ambassador...its been months since he last saw Vixen, and he nods in her direction, but his mind is on business, and he leads the way out...

Indira rises up slowly, being escorted out by her bodyguard as she follows Yutaka.

Indira walks along the streets as she tries to learn more of the city, her bodyguard walking alongside her. He's a guard sent from Bad Company, the same security company that Mr. Mason is from. But he is not nearly as highly equiped or specialized as Breach. "What have you learned about Mr. Fayton with your screening, Mr. Yamaoka?" the ambassador asks gently. Her hands are held before her, fingers steepled outwards.

Far behind them, windowshopping as they go along, is someone that's been tailing them since they left the coffee shop. They text on their phone idly as they stroll.

Yutaka frowns.."That his mind is weak, and likely despite his reputation, he is somewhat green in his business dealings...at least his legitimate ones." he ponders.."Do you mind if I take care of that person who is trying to stalk you Ambassador?"

"Yes, I had sensed something of that myself from our meeting. He has some weak tendencies. It might be a security risk." Indira glances at Yutaka in surprise. "I hadn't noticed. If you feel safe doing so, you may."

Yutaka nods "I'll get back to that in a second.." he drops back and then turns directly walking towards the stalker....

The stalker notices Yutaka and turns towards the Supermarket to shake him, walking in through the automatic sliding doors.

And the Hunter became the Hunted, Yutaka begins to shadow the stalker, moving on him quickly now. He brings on his electron cloak..breaking into a quick trot...

The Stalker starts heading up one of the aisles quickly, bringing his phone to his ear and talking into it.

Yutaka breaks into a run to run him down...

The stalker hears the fast footsteps and starts to run, but he's not fast enough to outpace Yutaka.

Yutaka sees him turn the corner, and finally catches him...he puts a hand on the collar of the stalker. "Hey..lets talk." he says..some menace in his voice.

The stalker is a man in his early thirties. Blue collar looking by his outfit and the rough hands that grab at the hand on his collar. A working man. In a southern drawl, he starts to threaten, "Hey, let go of me!"

Yutaka takes the phone from the man, and looks at the call on line. He hits mute and puts the phone to his ear as he says, "You know there are strick stalker laws...talk to me what were you doing?"

"Nuh-nothing, man," the stalker plays innocent. "Help, help! I'm being mugged!" He yells at a mother and her child in a shopping cart as they pass the mouth of the aisle. The woman looks scared and just pushes along quickly. So much for heroes!

On the phone, a male voice says, "Our man is almost there. You are a true hero for the Cause. A patriot."

Yutaka grabs the man by the collar and drags him out of the store, any attempts he may make physically is blocked off..."Make that an upgrade pal. Accomplice is now your crime..accomplice to what will be the question." he continues to weave with his arm, keeping the man off balance, "Ambassador!" he yells, "Get to cover!"

The man is dragged off balance and stumbles as he's dragged out. Indira turns towards Yutaka at his warning, but she is slow to act, slow to move. Yutaka can see a red dot starting to line up to her chest. With her moving, there's no time to aim for a headshot. There is no loud sound, but a burst of a sticky, dark blue fluid with glowing specs from her chest as a red, high intensity laser from a sniper shoots through her. The laser doesn't hit with an impact and leaves her standing shakily in shock.

Yutaka snarls, "Murder!" all kid gloves are off now, and Yu effortlessly drags the man behind him as he breaks into a full run...he tries to figure out where the trajectory of the shot came from...

There's a shooter on the roof a few buildings down, laying prone to line up his shot. From what you can see, it's a man in bronze colored body armor and a laser sniper rifle.

The bodyguard rushes to catch Indira as her legs give out and she clutches her chest. He starts to radio into his throat mic as he tries to prevent the shooter from getting a clear shot by maneuvering himself. Indira rebukes him weakly. "No, you...you must get away. They'll hurt you."

Yutaka shouts, "Get her to cover!" he spins and throws the man into a wall..hard..

The bodyguard drags Indira into a side alley to get her out of the line of fire. The stalker gets slammed roughly into the wall and gets the wind knocked out of him, leaving him dazed but conscious and hurting. Barely conscious.

Yu puts the phone in his pocket and goes to the shadows, He's going to take this shooter down..and down hard...

With Indira moved into the the alley, the armored sniper stands up with his sniper rifle and starts to reposition himself, running towards another building to get a line on her. Which also brings him closer to Yutaka.

Yutaka runs down the darkened alley leaping to the 2nd floor and up the fire escape, with a *POP* and a blue flash he's on the roof tops, and running again at speed, he looks for the last location of the shooter...

The mercenary is eyeing the alley Indira went down. "Awww, did that hurt? Don't worry, sweetheart. The next one's gonna take aaaall the pain away." His taunt makes him easy to spot for Yutaka.

Yutaka runs at the Merc..but there will be no Mercy for him..he's too far away to do anything but try to take him out on the move, a Teleport will give him away...

The Shooter was too busy doing his job, to save himself, Yu pours on the speed...and clotheslines him sending the shooter flying across the rooftop to hit a chiminey stack, the impact is as damaging to the shooter as the actual hit, and Yu follows after him running and jumping in the air to land on the mercenary with a flying Knee...

Yutaka grabs the merc checking him..then calls the cop from his own phone...once that is done, he's off at a run again..he jumps off the building bouncing from wall to wall until he reaches the ground level, and runs the accomplice, kicking on the run once more for good measure...before heading for indira

Yutaka flies through the air, and lands on the down'ed man's chest with his knee, the impact even greater than the other two. "Patriot!" he says with a snarl and spits on the man before...

grabbing the merc checking him..then calls the cop from his own phone...once that is done, he's off at a run again..he jumps off the building bouncing from wall to wall until he reaches the ground level, and runs the accomplice, kicking on the run once more for good measure...before heading for indira

It's fortunate Violet wasn't here for this meeting like she was supposed to be. But she was needed at the office instead.

When Yutaka gets to the alleyway, Indira is resting in the arms of the bodyguard, who is kneeling on the ground to let Indira lie down while he applies pressure to the injury.

Yutaka skids in, "Move!" he says the tone in his voice doesn't leave a lot to argue with, as he starts to take deep breathes and his hands begin to glow..

The bodyguard moves aside, startled by Yutaka's force of presence.

Yutaka kneels and begins to pump life energy into the Ambassador. "Indira..hold on...You're going to be ok." he hasn't checked to see if she is actually ok, but he's in hero mode.

Yutaka continues to pump chi into the Ambassador until the wound is completely healed..sweat drips off of him, with the explosion of activity, "Ambassador..you're going to be ok.." he says breathlessly.

Indira doesn't speak as what must be her blood seeps from her. It's irridescent and sticky. Her body starts to grow together and the wound closes, as if it was never there. Finally, she looks relieved as the pain fades. "What happened, Mr. Yamaoka?" she asks slowly as she looks down at the former injury.

Yutaka leans back against the wall..."You were shot..that man was their scout, I took care of both of them..The police are on their way."

Yutaka stands back up.."I"m going to check on both of them.." he says..

"Are -you- alright, Mr. Yamaoka?" Indira asks in concern as the bodyguard helps her to her feet.

Yutaka nods, "Never better.." he says with a quip..and he heads out of the alley to check on the scout...

The scout is still unconscious from the passing kick Yutaka gave him earlier.

And the Sirens are getting louder. Down the end of the street, the red and blue lights of a Starguard squad hovervan can be seen as it cruises to the location.

Yutaka checks the phone he picked up from the scout, checking the number and programming into his own. he also tries to hack into it to transfer all contacts into his own phone...

Yutaka has the phone...and will investigate this later..

All the searched for data is secured by Yutaka before the Starguard Van lands on the roof where the sniper was reported. Agents starts to pile out and secure the sniper.

Yutaka gets ready to turn the phone over to the Starguard officers as he heads back into the Alley, "Ambassador...you're sure you're ok?"

Indira is still standing with the aid of the bodyguard. "I am. Now. Whatever you did made me heal much faster than normal," she says in appreciation. "I am very impressed by your talents, Mr. Yama-oka."

Yutaka shakes his head, "It's nothing...any one can learn it.." he says, his breathing normalizing, its all an act, he is completely at ease, and her TP can probably tell that despite anything he's saying or doing, his demeanor was never anything but calm.

Indira smiles softly and bows her head with a slight turn from the neck in gratitude. "Thank you, still. Now you see some of the danger I face here. And why your services are so needed."

Yutaka nods, "I never had a doubt Ambassador..I suggest an increase in your security retinue.." he looks at the security officer, "No offense, but this threat may be more than a single man can handle, even one as well trained as yourself.."

The Bodyguard nods gruffly. "Holiday weekend. Busy time of the year for us."

"Yes, Mr. Mason is trained with special effectiveness in such circumstances," Indira explains. "He is my primary guard, but he's off-shift this weekend. I felt he needed...leisure."

Yutaka shakes his head, "Bad move..I would think that a high profile client like the Ambassador here would rate a greater level of protection. I don't think, that "Holiday Weekend" would have brought your employer any kind of solace in the media or else where for future contracts. Its not your fault, but you better report this back, because You can be certain a report will be going to Mr. Mason about this from me."

Yutaka looks at Inara..I mean Indira...her beauty grew on him, but his instincts of protection and his heightened senses are on alert status, and he only see's her as another woman in his life that has become endangered.

The bodyguard is caught off guard by Yutaka, his face falling at the mention that Mr. Mason is going to receive a report. "Rick...is not going to be happy about this," he rubs the back of his neck. "I already reported this in to HQ."

Yutaka shakes his head, "Get her in one of these Starguard Vehicles, and get her home after they are done with their reports." He looks at the Ambassador, "I am sure we will talk again Ambassador..soon."

Yutaka powers down the electron cloak..finally.

Indira smiles to Yutaka and lowers her head again in gratitude. "Soon, Mr. Yama-oka. Thank you for your quick actions."

The bodyguard steps up close to Indira protectively as the Starguard's backup van lands on the street. "Come now, Ms. Paxis. Ms. Wyndell said she'll be meeting you at the station once we file a report. She'll be calling in your driver." He already has his orders for HQ and coordinated the setup. He escorts her to the van and waits until Indira is inside the van and secure before stepping in with her.

Yutaka nods and waits to speak to the officers and hands over the phone to them.
