Ill Omen

The Way I Want To

"What? You want me to ask them to....talk to you?" Gummy repeated in confusion.

"Basically, yes." The Doctor said. "This person seems to only listen to you specifically."

"I'd love to help in any way I can, but I don't feel like it would be polite to ask them to talk to you when they don't want to..." the Ursus said, deflating slightly.

"You don't have to if you don't want to do this. We can find another way. But we could really use your help so we can determine the motives behind their recent activities." They said.

Gummy furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Activities?" She repeated.

"We have reason to believe that this friend of yours has cured one of our patients of Oripathy and given him back his ability to walk." The Doctor explained.

She widened her eyes.

"They....cured Oripathy? Isn't there no cure??" She asked.

"There isn't. But they managed to do it. We have no idea what their motives could be. But if they have the power to cure Oripathy, then they could be very dangerous. If possible, try avoiding any physical touch with them when they appear, going forward." They suggested.

Gummy glanced off to the side nervously.

"I heard you really got Dur-nar and Matterhorn worried yesterday. They saw you next to this person and I think they assumed the worst." The doctor pointed out.

She sighed.

"Yeah....I felt really bad about that. I'm sorry Doctor. I'm really want to help, but I just don't think it would be best for me to ask them. If you want, I can tell you where I normally find them outside the kitchen. Will that help?" Gummy asked.

The Doctor nodded.

"Please do."

"This is really one of the area's that she said?" Amiya questioned.

"Gummy said that she would find her friend watching some of the Operators sparing every so often." The Doctor explained.

"I'm surprised that no one has noticed them if they come here so often." Amiya mumbled. "Then again no one noticed them on Rhodes Island altogether."

When they entered the room, there were a few different groups already training.

Dobermann was instructing a bunch of new recruits.

Whislash and Nearl seemed to be having a friendly competition. Blemishine was keeping tally on their points.

Jessica was working on her gun in the corner, watched over by Liskarm.

Same business as usual.

Dobermann turned her head towards the new arrivals with a raised eyebrow.

"Keep at it! I don't want to catch anyone slacking off!" She shouted at the recruits.

There was a chorus of "yes ma'am"s.

The Perro made her way towards the two.

"Doctor. Amiya. Do you two need something?" She greeted formally.

"Oh, sorry to interrupt, Miss Dobermann. We were just looking for someone, so to speak." Amiya explained.

"And who might that be?" She asked.

The two exchanged a glance between them.

"Someone who is very important. Have you seen anyone around recently that might look out of place or suspicious" the Doctor asked.
