Harrison shrugs
"Point taken. Do as you please guys, but don't spoil all the fun!"

He turns to Nyx and asks .
"You're quite silent. Something is bothering you even more?
You're worried about your friend?"

Javier nods at Fenris in reluctant agreement. "Okay, but make sure you get back. You get yourself caught or killed before you tell us your big secret, and I'll kick your *."

Fenris smiles. He thinks Javier is the only one who has been able to make him smile since becoming a Nova.

"Okay when all are ready."

OoC
Nycto will teleport all to near the hospital (about 1/2 mile or a mile away), before leaving to scout with Fenris.

Nycto draws the shadows up around you all, silencing the noises of the diner. The smell of the desert reaches you all as he deposits you on a low rise overlooking the HC Mental Hospital, about half a mile away.

The sun has begun to set, but the hospital grounds are well lit. The building is a single story structure laid out in an X shape. Nycto, you know each branch is a ward and the center where they all meet is the administration center as well as the main entrance to the building.

Surrounding the building are small grass plots and a parking lot that is full of cars, most notably EMS and police. The lights of the emergency vehicles illuminate the 10' tall chain linked fence that encircles the parking area. There is only one gate that allows vehicles in and out of the facility; four cars are sitting at the gate, appearing to be trying to enter.

Oddly, one of the branches' lights don't appear to be functioning. While the other three branches and central admin. bldg are all lit by glaring blue lights, the fourth branch is almost completely dark...except, are those torches on the rooftop?

"Nycto, do you want to take us on to the roof of that wing without lights? Or is that too close to the action for a scout?" Fenris whispers as focuses on the hospital.

"Ok, so that's our ship's mutineers "
Overdrive says, pointing at the dark branch of the building.

"Nycto, in that darkness you'll be as happy as a clam at high tide. You could spy on the so-called maniacs and check what it's all about... with Fenris'company."

"I believe it's good, when you can zip out of there quickly. Fenris do you come along or you want to go by your own feet?" asks Nycto

OOC.
Either way Nycto will teleport towards the top of the roof near the end, away from those torchs.

"I'll go with you, and we can start together." Fenris replies.

The torches are at the end of the wing, G26 and P26 respectively. The two green squares on the roof are air-conditioning units, 10'x10'x5'. The 25'x25'x10' building is lit and appears to be a roof access point for the adminitstration center below. The other three ward's rooftops (not all shown) are well lit with flood lights.

Fenris, you can't make out any meaningful sounds nor does anything catch your attention other than the police scattered around the main entrance to the hospital and the parking lot.

Let me know where on the roof Fenris and Nycto port to and any immediate actions once you land there. Nycto's declared he's hiding once he gets there...

I will assume Fenris 'ports in adjacent to Nycto, so K14

You two teleport next to one of the two large a/c units atop the ward. You can hear the racket of the units operating on the other ward's rooftops, but the two you're hiding between are silent. Other than the sounds coming from the entrance down below and the parking area beyond, all is quiet...

Fenris glides over to the edge H14 and quietly goes over looking for an open window.

You step to the edge of the building and look down. You're only 12' up from the lawn below. Lining the wall 10' from the ground (2' below you, 4 total) are a number of small windows, no more than 2' long x 6" tall, with heavy steel bars over them. The designers certainly didn't want the residents sneaking out! Checking the other side of the building, you find the same number of windows evenly spaced along the wall.

The windows appear to be covered up with whatever the patients could find, sheets, newspaper, etc. No light is coming through them. Sounds, well, that's a different matter...

You hear moaning, laughing, crying, sobbing, babbling, all of which raise the fur on the back of your neck...

Nycto, your danger sense is going off like a low but steady drumb beat. This whole place just feels wrong. Thinking about it, you seem to recall this ward was the max. security wing that housed the criminally insane.
