Nightshift 26 - M41-M50 Hall

[qui-gonjinn.livejournal.com]

Qui-Gon was in a mixed mood. On one hand, the maps from young Artemis Fowl would be incredibly helpful, and he had made sure to make extra copies for himself, Obi-Wan and anyone else he might pass it onto in the future. On the other, the intercom announcement was more than a little worrying. He had heard mention of other patients being taken for experimentation, only to released on their friends; it looked like that was true, if Martin Landel was to be believed.

The Jedi Master sighed, collecting the flashlight and the small collection of metal utensils that he'd collected with Obi-Wan last night. His meditation into the Force had been only slightly more fruitful than before, but he was nowhere near strong enough to help as much as he would like. There was no doubt in his mind that he wouldn't be able to use the Force to persuade the experimented patients that no, they didn't really want to hunt down their fellows, and they should listen to him just because he said so.

He wasn't too sure about the other areas mentioned, but he did know enough to avoid the Sun Room for now. Stepping outside, Qui-Gon prepared himself. Tonight his grasp on the Force wasn't as strong as it had been when Obi-Wan was knighted. But even now he could feel the swirl of anger, fear, and hate around him, dotted with the moving "holes" that were the Earthian creatures and the staff. The fear and anger, he was unfortunately familiar with. The galaxy, despite the efforts of good people, was a regrettably nest of such emotions. But the holes in the Force, the sense of void, would never be familiar.

And he would have to watch for both, it seemed. The dangers tonight wouldn't just be the creatures, or the staff. Qui-Gon turned and headed down the hall, extending his senses as far as he was able.

Claire pushed away her remaining tears, feeling better now that she'd gotten so much off her chest.

"Thanks," she said, giving a small smile. "Sorry for exploding like that." She considered his offer to help her look. A big part of her didn't want to believe RC had really gone...but there was someone else who might have known.

Wesker and RC hadn't exactly been friends by any means, but Claire wasn't sure how many others RC had befriended. Better to start with someone she knew well.

"If you can walk me back around the female blocks, someone will probably be waiting for me there. He's family...I thought his cell was around here too, but I guess he left already." Claire sure hoped he was still on the first floor, and hadn't gone off exploring already. "He knew RC too. Maybe he knows if RC's still...if he's still here."

Qui-Gon didn't think there was anything to apologize for, but it was much better to see her want to be active and not...well, sit in the hall like earlier in an act that was so dangerous that she was lucky that Qui-Gon had found her.

"I can certainly walk with you," Qui-Gon said, getting to his feet. His joints tonight weren't slightly sore, which was a relief, and he was feeling much better now that he'd more time to heal from the lightsaber injury. He wasn't sure as to whether this RC boy was still alive - did he even have a name? - but they had to look and be certain before they gave him up for lost. "I can't say I've been near the female blocks though, but I can escort you if you lead the way."

Claire nodded, her smile blooming a bit more. She realized that the chances of finding RC were slim no matter what, but having support made the situation seem less hopeless. Feeling stronger and more in control, she led the back back down the hall to her cell block.
