npcs: the oracle

voice

A glimpse from within. Slipped through the cracks. He will show you their ways.

He will die.

A "he" outside the dome? Or a "he" inside the dome?

Wait, don't answer that on this. [He's wondering where he can meet her. His suspicions are getting worse.]

She said "from within".

[But within what? His voice makes it clear that he is puzzled and rather worried.]

It's where the dying's happening that's got me worried. [Because as far as he knows and has heard, someone dying in the dome won't do them much good.]

If it's from the dome...

[They can't afford to be attacked again, even if he has become decent with a gun. He doesn't think this mystery person will attack so much as others might get revenge.]

Why would someone leave the dome?

Because someone in it didn't want them.

[Or someone wanted to escape, which from what he heard is really strange.]

I... wonder what happened.

I think the only conclusion that can be safely jumped to is that someone pissed someone else the hell off.

It may be a losing battle, but we'll need to try to keep him alive. He may have information that we need.

[At least, they may know what they're up against in terms of sheer numbers.]

Yup.

[Which would be a lot more helpful if the ship was fixed. If there were medical resources there, they might be able to help him.]

...a gas mask. The Oracle said that they'll die without the masks.

[Getting one off of a dead body, though, doesn't sound sanitary.]

It won't help for long.

He has to eat. He has to drink.

We should.... try to minimize his suffering.

I have a mask [because he's been hoarding info and objects like a resource dragon and pulled plenty off the soldiers they buried.] the hospital might be able to sterilize it.

[But it's not going to help in the long run. He really wants to know what advanced medical resources were aboard the mothership that crashed and if they could keep this guy from dying.

Or some helpful metahumans.]

[She's laughing a little]

Will they hear?

Call it unhealthy paranoia that's kept me healthy.

You are very unhealthy.

At least in one piece.

[Mostly.]

But I'm not the important one here.

[Finding out about this guy is.]

Many things are important.

[He automatically partitions himself off from that- his identity as "no one" is crucial to him.] I'm going to the library. [Vault. Whatever it is. He's a lurker. He needs to talk about things privately.]

[She's in her usual place in the vault. She didn't even move any books today.]

[He's quick to find her. Missing books he'll worry about later.]

The man you were talking about. What can be done to keep him from dying?

How do you stop what you cannot see?

Usually by finding someone else that can see it.

[That wins a smile. Oh, she likes you.]

It is in the air, the water... It is what he is not used to.

[He would kill to have access to a quick healing symbiote right then.]

Would the ship have something that could increase his immunities?
