Nightshift 37: Main Hallway, 1-West

As she entered the hallway, Ophelia stopped for a moment to quickly fold up Kio's maps and stuff them into one of her pockets. She had been hoping to take a peek at them at various intervals during the night, but in this dim light, there was no chance of being able to see them. For now, she would have to travel by memory of where she had been taken during the day.

At least this time the choice of where to go was easy. On one side she could just barely see the hallway ending, and on the other it continued for a ways. The path that continued would surely lead to the Sun Room and the areas around it. She started running again with a grin spreading on her face, emboldened by the long, seemingly unobstructed length of the hall. Perhaps she would find her first challenge of the night soon.

A few nanokliks later and the wave anger had subsided a little- leaving, however, just enough behind to pump through his body and keep him enthused for the rest of the night. So this is what they call an 'adrenaline rush'.

It didn't take him long to note the human's reaction, though. Taking a deep breath he nodded at Javert, more firmly this time, as if trying to prove that he wasn't as unhinged as he was probably coming across. "Thanks. I'm in room M42- see anything at all and you know where to find me."

He began to leave, heading towards the 'activities shed', before stopping suddenly as a thought struck him. "You know if they keep a list of patients anywhere?" he asked over his shoulder, "and none of that fake name slag either."

Javert nodded back, making a mental note of the other man's room. He certainly would, although there was certainly no guarantee that he wouldn't do a little of his own investigating first. "I'll do that. Best of luck."

He shook his head at Depth Charge's question. "Not that I know of, I'm afraid. Is there a name I should keep an ear out for?"

"X. Last time we met he was using Rampage, but I know him as Protoform X." He rolled the names around his mouth dryly. They felt oddly insignificant to him- whatever name he was using, Depth Charge would find him.

The news that there didn't seem to be some kind of record of patient names irritated him, but he'd live. He'd just have to do things the old fashioned way. "He's one dangerous spawn-of-Unicron. If you find him... well. Don't try anything you might regret. Catch you later."

With that, he was off. Javert. Huh. Maybe it was something in the way he hadn't questioned his motives, but he seemed a little more... understanding (?) that the usual type he ran into. Whatever the reason, he'd make a note of that name. His thoughts sooned turned to more pressing matters, however, and soon he was charging down the hallway like there was no tomorrow- a possibility that he was all too ready for. He just hoped that X was equally well prepared.

There certainly was no dearth of strange names in this place. Javert filed the names away in his mind as he always did and went on his own way, watching over his shoulder as the other man left. He was certainly in a rush, wasn't he?

No matter. He turned right at the next hallway, toward Mlle. Skuld's room. He only hoped nothing had happened to her tonight.
