((Sorry, this ended up taking me longer to write than I thought!))
Tuesday late evening. Kings Row Hospital.
The Dunelm Group quickly meet up at Kings Row hospital as news filters through that Eleven was knocked out during the closing moments of a Rikti attack in that area of Paragon City. Dr Roberts, Adam Dennison and Do Lo Might scurry with concern, looking for the room Eleven has been put into. Shortly after the team make it to the window of the room Eleven is emitted to, Leon Tasker arrives from Galaxy City, storming through the hospital with great displeasure.
Leon gets to the room and bursts in to the shock of the rest of the team and the medical staff trying to attend to Eleven.
Medic: Im sorry sir, your going to have to step outside so you can allow us to continue to treat your colleague.
Leon Tasker: Oh yes? And what are you doing exactly?
Medic: We are doing everything we can to get your colleague to regain consciousness. But so far everything we have tried is not working. We cant inject anything as our needles are snapping when we try incision. We are going over his body to see what is broken that might be causing him pain but we cant find anything that is broken ether
Leon Tasker was sarcasm: Have you tried his wallet?
Medic looking confused: What?
Leon moves the medic out of his way and rushes to Elevens jacket pocket that contains his wallet. The wallet does not contain anything other than a few Dunelm Group contact cards and his Paragon City Hero License. Unfolding it out he begin to read what the license says. The medic aimlessly starts to look around the room in embarrassment now realising that his patient is in fact a Meta Human.
Leon Tasker: Here we are then, medical notes in case of being emitted to hospital
.Patient has indestructible skin meaning injections are not applicable in treatment. Patient is found to be immortal so life threatening injury is extremely unlikely. In the event of patient being emitted to hospital, simply contact Brigadier Leon Tasker, thats me by the way, and allow his staff to treat the patient.
Leon folds the license back up and walks right into the face of the medic. The medic starts to worry what Leon might do to him.
Leon Tasker: So I suggest you and your team stop wasting your time here and go to any of the other rooms here that have civilians that have some real injuries from the attack that just happened around here that need serious attention!
The medical team look at each other while stood hesitating. Leon looks at them all with shock at them not moving and screams, MOVE!. The medical team rush out of the room. Leon walks over to the door and slams it shut in anger. Do Lo Might cowers in a corner looking somewhat frightened, as if he does not want to be in the room. Adam looks on sombre and decides to keep quiet so that he does not risk making the situation worse. Dr Roberts flairs up slightly as he addresses Leon.
Dr Roberts speaking loudly: Brigadier Tasker! You will calm yourself sir! These people were only trying to help.
Leon snaps back: Oh come off it Brian! You and I both know what will happen here. Eleven will wake up not a scratch on his body, feeling the pain of the ordeal but ignoring it as he will be madder than hell! These kids working here did not think to see if was a meta human or not, probably because they thought, oh he's not wearing a costume!
Dr Roberts: Look, I can see why your upset with Eleven for going on another rage fit. It could not happen at a worse time..
Leon interrupts him: Yeah I was angry at Eleven to start off with. But not now! No, now I am angry with them! points metaphorically to the outside world. Them lot out there! Some of these Heroes of Paragon! Tonight I got to see just how much distain and resentment a team like ours gets!
Dr Roberts: What are you getting at Leon?
Leon Tasker: I know its too much for all of us sometimes to have to live around Elevens anger and psychological problems. I know we all wish he would let go of all that pain so we dont have to worry about him so much. And I know we all hope that he would become less of an unsociable git and make doing our job with everyone else much more simple.
Leon goes to sit next to Elevens bed as he looks onto his unconscious colleague before looking back at the rest of the team, carrying on his speech, speaking much calmer than before.
Leon Tasker: But we somehow still accept who he is because deep down we know that what he does everyday is his way of dealing with his problems. As twisted and insane as it clearly is, he directs all of his rage towards protecting the world around him. He doesnt give up and he does not switch off. As tragic as that is, it still gave people inspiration and hope. When the people of Durham cried out for help, feeling ignored when everywhere else was being rescued from the dangers of earth, Eleven went back to his home city and gave his all to save them.
That inspired this team to come together orinally. Sure we allow ourselves much need rest and relaxation so we can have lives of our own and for some reason, he never wants to take it but we all ended up taking a part of his ideals. We get the job done not for the attention, the glamour or for our own egos but because we have the ability to do serve a good cause and we know its the right thing to do.
Adam Dennison: So what the hell has happened here then?
Leon Tasker: Well, seem like our vision of protecting the innocent makes us a bunch of freaks with The Hero Community here in Paragon.
Dr Roberts: Oh surely not Leon?
Leon Tasker: No? Well let me tell you the reaction from the rest of the heroes over in Galaxy this evening to whats in this room right now!
Bit of an idiot isnt he? Charging in ahead of everyone else when they could have dealt with it pretty easy! Oh I know heroes the size of 8 year olds that can tear them heavies like Tin Foil, so your pet that you hold on a pedestal isnt that flash for what he did!
Leon shakes his head as he grows fuming with anger again.
Leon Tasker: This coming from people who seem to see Rikti bomb strikes as games to have fun with! Who shockingly are allowed to act as a mercenaries in this city, there is some that now see us as threats and therefore potential profit from their legalised thuggery. This coming from heroes who worryingly have a cold hearted view of death. Who take a look at Ashley, bless her soul, rightly distraught over what's happened to her boyfriend and your say Oh that's a shame and then turn to their girlfriends with a smile on their face and say Never mind, come here sweetheart, let me touch your boobs!
Dr Roberts: Wait, which Ashley are you talking about?
Leon Tasker: The one commonly known as Catz. Police informed her tonight that her boyfriend was missing and presumed dead. That's what's set Eleven off. He saw Catz reaction when she was told the news and of course it reminded him more of what happened to his family, so as usual exploded in a fit of rage. Now did he overreact? It would be hard of me to disagree with you. Esspeically since missing presumed dead mean he might actually sill be alive and well. But you and I know Eleven's intentions are sound. It seems though that the rest of the community would rather outcast us then accept our help, and the only reason that I can see being that we take a professional mindset into our work, while the rest see it as a fun hobby.
Do Lo Might speaking nervously: It sounds like you want us to allow ourselves to be alienated just when I thought we were supposed be looking at working with everyone else more closely
Leon Tasker: That might have been a valid point Dominic except if I ask you the question, what other friends have you made outside of this group since you've come to the city?
Do Lo lowers head slightly in shame realising that his answer would be no one.
Leon Tasker: And what about you Adam? Can you answer that question?
Adam Dennison stammers before he makes an attempt to answer: Well
.there is Brit
.
Eleven interrupts him: An ally still alive Adam!
The group look to Eleven, surprised to see him regaining consciousness. Eleven growls in pain as he tries to spring out of his bed only to collapse on the floor and unable to stand due to the pain that he is feeling. Leon and Adam come over to try and help him up but Eleven barks at them DONT
..TOUCH ME!. Eleven slowly manages to pick himself up onto his feet but is forced to lean on the wall behind him in order to stay upright, showing great discomfort, looking like he can barely move because of the pain he is in.
At this point Detective Freitag enters the room.
Detective Freitag: Looks like I arrived at the right time
Leon Tasker: Evening detective
Detective Freitag nods: Brigadier Tasker. Hows your man holding up here?
Leon Tasker looks at Eleven then back Freitag: He's fine as he can be. Now can you tell me what exactly when on there?
Detective Freitag: Well obviously we had a bunch of heroes in King's Row to assist with the Rikti attacking the area again. At the end of the attack one of the Rikti Heavies was heading for a crash landing would have certainly wiped out many heroes or present as well as some of my officers. As probably know now, Eleven here took it upon himself to dive at the falling Heavy and divert its course so that the only thing it landed on was himself an empty road
Leon Tasker: As crazy as this sounds, this would a typical incident for a meta-human in this city. So I have to ask why you feel the need to create a follow-up investigation?
Detective Freitag: Well I need to ask confirmation from Eleven, about reports coming from the incident that suggests that the Rikti Heavy was already retreating along with the rest of the forces and that one of the heroes present decided to shoot at it causing it to head for a crash landing.
Everyone looked to Eleven for his reply. Eleven answers still barely able to keep himself standing: That's exactly what happened!....... some goon thought they would be clever and fired at the Heavy when it was fleeing anyway
. I did not get to see who fired off the shot
. I was too busy getting myself into a position to stop it crushing anyone below.
Detective Freitag: Okay. So the only question I have now is if the case is went before a judge or an City Council review, you would be willing to speak about this incident.
Eleven, trying his best to stand upright: If it's going to stop amateurs from causing unnecessary damage and pain to everyone
..then it is fair game marra!
Detective Freitag: Thank you gentlemen, this is all I need for now. We'll be in touch later.
As the detective leaves the room, Leon turns away shaking his head in disbelief. Eleven collapses onto its backside, unable to continue his effort to stand up.
Leon Tasker looks to Dr Roberts with great menace: That's settles it then!
Dr Roberts slightly panicking: Now now Leon, let's not make any rash decisions
Leon Tasker: If you're thinking that I'm am suggest we quit right now and head back home and I can assure you that is not what I'm going to suggest. I'm sure we speak for all of us when I say that we still have a great sense of duty and we will not abandon the city when it is so desperate for help. As far as your plan to create coalitions with other organisations in the city, given the current circumstances I suggest we concentrate our efforts on other more important matters.
Dr Roberts pleading: Leon, please no!
Leon Tasker: They don't want to know us Brian. We can't force ourselves onto them and if they are so sure with their egos and carefree attitude that they don't want our help in protecting the city, then let's not waste our time and just let them get on with it. Quite frankly if they insist that is the normal attitude for someone to protect and serve, then I don't want to thing with them because I can do without any more deaths of innocent civilians and fellow squad members on my conscience due to their lack of professionalism and humility. And again I'm sure the rest of the team feel the same way.
Dr Roberts looks over to Adam and Adam shrugs his shoulders, with the look on his face to suggest that Leon has a point. Dr Roberts unlocks all the to Do Lo Might, again lowering its head in shame looking like he's ready to burst into tears but nodding in agreement to what Leon said. Dr Roberts face drops and his eyes begin to well up as if he's about to cry. He tries not to turn round to look at Eleven but does so anyway, to see what his answer is that already knowing what Elevens feelings are.
Eleven stares at Dr Roberts with his usual scowling look, full of rage: This is consequence Doctor. The have chosen to bring this on themselves
. Those idiots out there still don't realise why did I am not like them
They are always so keen to change me but I do what I do so that none of them turn into someone like me
I find the way I fight because they all have something to lose
and I dont
.. they need to stay the way they are because they are the role models
the pinups
. the celebrities
the icons to give the people of the city and the rest of the world enough hope to walk through the [censored] that they're forced to walk to by the scumbags that want to destroy everything.
But if they gonna concentrate their efforts to shut me out of what I do so that I can't help them
then they are in danger of one day ruddy well convincing me not to bother!
And when their existence goes all to hell
. and everything that they love and hold dear to is destroyed right in front of them by their enemies
.. when they come begging at my feet, pleading for my help
.Ill look them square in the eyes and say
Screw you junior!.....This is your consequence to bare!
Dr Roberts closes eyes and forces himself not to start crying. Leon simply takes one last look at everyone and says Then it's agreed, this meeting is over! before marching out of the room telling Eleven to rest up for the night before returning to base. Do Lo Might quickly follows, he can't leave the hospital quick enough without running. Adam looks at Dr Roberts upset at what has just transpired and Dr Roberts stares back with tears starting to stream down his face.
Adam Dennison: I am so sorry my brother.
Adam calmly leaves room but its fear still shows disappointment at what he had just witnessed. It leaves Dr Roberts with his head down wiping his tears away as he slowly leaves the room and closes the door behind him.
Eleven with fierce determination attempts to stand up again. His body however is still in massive pain after being crushed by the Rikti Heavy. Still unable to stand up, Eleven false hard on to his knees. He starts to growl as his rage increases due to his frustration before letting out an extremely loud war cry of anger enough for the rest of the hospital to hear.
((A few notes. Dr Roberts will still be at GG a some point looking to create coalitions with other SGs or potentially invite new member to the team. However the rest of the team will act rather untrusting with new members or coalitions, in particular Leon and Eleven unless the new contacts show the same level of professionalism as they now highly aspire to.
Dont expect this sudden unsocial nature of the team to last though. They might just return apologetic and forgiving at some point as there is a possible suggestion that this is all being orchestrated by someone looking to cause this type of bother!

Leon Tasker: "Dunelm Group! What is your profession?"
Dunelm Group: "OOOOORRRAAAAH!"
Wednesday morning. Steel Canyon campus of Paragon University.
In the area of the campus where The Dunelm Group have been granted freedom to operate, there is a small basement room that is dimly lit compared to the rest of the building. No one except member of the group come down to this room. For this room is Elevens Dojo. There is no place seemingly for him to rest. The room only contains equipment for his practice, with the walls covered in the variety of trophies he has collected over the years.
Not many have the bravery to interrupt Eleven while he takes sanctuary in his dojo. Leon Tasker though has enough trust and respect from Eleven to the point that Leon can barge into the dojo unannounced and Eleven will immediately stop what he is doing and wait to see what Leon has to say.
Leon Tasker I have just come from the meeting with Dr Roberts and the rest of the team. I thought you would like to know that Dr Roberts has finally managed to all but officially announce coalition partnerships with The Unity Vigil and The Rising Stars.
Eleven never flinched as Leon spoke. He stood with usual scowling look and replied,
Eleven: What do you think then?
Leon Tasker: What do I think? My stance has not changed from a couple of weeks ago. I would rather we not bother with any other organisation given the attitude of most of them. But we still have a duty to protect this city and if having to work with people outside our team to ensure that happens then so be it. But rest assured that while Brian might happily accept invites from any celebrity in spandex, Ill make sure we only work with others based on our terms!
Eleven turns away from Leon and grabs a Bo staff to perform a mild kata.
Eleven: The Vigil though
.could have be a hell of lot worse.
Leon Tasker: Oh, dont get me wrong. If there was a group Id be more accommodating with it would be The Vigil. Most of their team have their heads screwed right and they have been doing work with a high level of professionalism for years.
Eleven suddenly strikes a target manikin with his Bo Staff with ferocity as he thinks of members of The Vigil that recently angered him with what he believed was reckless behaviour.
Eleven: Yeah
.most do!
Leon Tasker: Yes I agree. There are still some elements of the group that are more likely to cause trouble than solve it. But as I said, I will make sure we will work on our terms. Which is more than be said about the Super Powered Big Brother we now have as allies!
Eleven tightens his grip of the staff slightly growling in displeasure.
Leon Tasker: Thats only really come about because Dominic and those he teamed with managed to complete their missions. But it wasnt half sloppy in my view despite what Dominic has said. It was alright him saying that it did not matter that Sam Huntington got knocked around a bit, because it was Sam Huntington and if her powers did not help her recover, her brother Richard would soon help her out. That line of thinking will only eventually lead to you having to deal with burying the box your colleague or loved one is in.
Eleven: Well if Brian is not going to relent on working with them
let Adam and Dominic be the poster boys!.......Ill only end up using their cameras to take down whatever it is we get asked to take down!
Leon smirks Thats not hard to imagine. Leon turns to leave the room. Brian will more than likely continue to try and create more official ties. He will eventually invite reps from other teams to visit here to introduce us all. I wont bother asking you to get involved with any tour of the team.
Eleven: Whats happening with this scumbag that faked his licence and tried to make a meta pancake with the Rikti Heavy in Kings the other week?
Leon looks around to Eleven again. Despite us now having official allies that situation s unchanged. Other than Detective Freitag
..were on our own with this issue.
Eleven turns to look at another target manikin at the opposite side of the room.
Leon Tasker: Oh, and remember to keep your comms open. We are still expecting Red Commissar, Volt or Sean to contact us when things start to go down for them.
Eleven: No problem there marra
. Eleven suddenly rages out and fires off a powerful fireball at the manikin he was looking at. The manikin explodes instantly on impact.
Eleven: Thats some unfinished business Im looking forward to help out finishing!
((Still happy to organise meets with Dr Roberts to create coalitions with other SGs IC. Let me know in game on GGOOC or a tell to @Eleven to arrange something.
At some point soon I will want to organise with representative of SGs allied with to have an open RP session on this post or perhaps a specific post on its own for Dr Roberts to give a tour of The Dunelm Groups temporary base in Steel Canyon and formal introduce the whole team.))

Leon Tasker: "Dunelm Group! What is your profession?"
Dunelm Group: "OOOOORRRAAAAH!"
((Thought I would set up a post for IC updates and OOC questions for The Dunelm Group for the main reason that I dont have my own site with forum to cover updates on plots I create or get involved with.
I also do aim to make a start adding more heroes into the team but from other players rather than my own. I think I am stretching the limits of my altism now! I have been seeing a lot of North East of England based characters showing up so it would make sense for The Dunelm Group to invite them to join with people from the same region. With that in mind, I thought having an official post for the group would be needed
This also ties with Dr Roberts currently looking to create official coalitions with other groups. One of the reasons is that anyone that joins my SG but needs access to a fully functioning base for something, does have some level of access to do so until it comes to a point where The Dunelm Group finally have a base of their own. Im sure many will say that a base does not make an SG and I would agree but from experience, I have seen people leave SGs over the fact that the SG does not have a working base of some description.
It would also make communicating with me much easier as I admit I tend to keep myself in a corner away from everything by not being on any of the RP community channels, or having many of you on my global list. By the way, someone remind me in game to sort myself out with that! I finally snuck on the GGOOC channel last night but if you feel I should be signed up for something else that is regularly used, let me know.
Of course this would also be a good place though to hold IC conversations with anyone from SG outside of the game. Especially with my hero toons in situations where you would expect to see them all together, which of course I can not do in game.
Ill get the ball rolling with a recap of what the team has been up to recently.
For information on my individual toons, just follow the link in my sig to the Union Handbook where my toons are listed.
The only important note right now that needs remembering about the group as a whole is that until a link to their existing base back in Durham is created, the team is based out of the Steel Canyon campus of Paragon University due to an agreement between the University and Group Director, Dr Roberts who as part of the deal works at the University as a part time lecturer. Sometimes individual members of the team may base themselves in the other campuses for a day or two for a particular reason.
For example, Eleven likes to camp at the Founders campus as he can be more remote than at Steel Canyon and has built a reputation with The Council and Crey Agents of being there, even when he might not be, making anyone thinking of stirring up trouble at the campus, think twice about it.))
Tuesday, mid morning. Dr Roberts holds a meeting in his temporary office for The Dunelm Group to discuss any new or current activities the team is involved with. Dr Roberts sits behind his desk while Leon Tasker, Adam Dennison and Do Lo Might sit in a semi circle facing Dr Roberts. Eleven is off to the side of the group leaning against the wall. He is close enough to remain aware of what is being said but is still able to stare blankly ahead of him as his mind wanders away to different thoughts.
Dr Roberts: Right team, its time for our regular meeting to discuss what we are doing at the moment to help out the City and its citizens. I will say right now that I can appreciate if progress with any of your undertaking is rather slow at this time, with the sudden surge in Rikti Attacks. So please do not worry if you have to admit that you are struggling to complete any of your objectives as I am sure given the circumstances, you are doing the very best you can.
Brigadier Leon Tasker moves to speak.
Leon Tasker: Actually Dr Roberts I was wondering if we may ask you first, how your progress is going with establishing official partnerships with other groups in the City.
Dr Roberts: Yes of course Leon, I have met with a number of members of the various organisations within the City and I am certain I will be able to announce any new coalitions within the next few weeks. As I have mentioned of course, with the recent increase of Rikti attacks, that has stalled any progress I was making.
Leon Tasker: Yes of course, thats understandable.
Dr Roberts: I must admit I have somehow managed to get myself caught up in something involving a being from an alternate Earth that is being looked after by The Unity Vigil. I had to help out one evening last week with some diplomacy to defuse a rather heated argument between this said being and some of the Hero Community.
Adam Dennison: How did that play out then brother?.......Send them all to their rooms without supper!?!
Dr Roberts, slightly grinning from Adams remark: Well I think myself and a few other who were also present managed to calm everything down. While it was not the easiest of diplomacy missions I have been involved in, it was by no means the worst.
Leon Tasker: Are we going to be needed for anything following this?
Dr Roberts: I have been somewhat expecting a call from someone within The Unity Vigil asking for additional help with their situation, given that I somehow allowed myself to stumble upon it. However I am sure that The Vigil are able to handle it themselves. But I would appreciate if everyone does their best to keep themselves available to assist if suddenly called upon.
Leon Tasker nods in agreement and updates his PDA. Dr Roberts writes notes to his minutes before continuing the meeting.
Dr Roberts: So Brigadier, can you update me on what has been happening with yourself?
Leon Tasker: As you have referred to already, there has been a quick rise in Rikti attack on the City. Vanguard have me on pretty much constant contact on a daily basis to update myself and the team of situations around the city. Im glad to report that so far damage to the City while considerable, is not at a catastrophic level and none of the team have suffered any serious injuries, nether have anyone we have worked with during strikes.
Dr Roberts: Thats good to hear Turns to Do Lo Might So how has the battles been for you Dominic? Are you coping with it all?
Do Lo Might: Aye, well ya kna its been rough gannin. But Im still in one piece, which is more than can be said of their Assault Heavies!
Adam Dennison turns to Do Lo and puts on a funny face when asking: Ooorrah?
Do Lo Might nods says with some brashness: Yeah, ooooooorrraaaaah!
Adam and Do Lo high five each other behind Leons head. Leon shakes his head while grinning.
Dr Roberts: And, dare I ask, how have you faired in the attacks Eleven?
Everyone turns to Eleven returning to a serious look. Elevens scowling look does not flinch and he still looks blankly ahead of him.
Eleven: They come to any part of the city and I pile their remains for those lucky to survive to see as they make a run for it!
Dr Roberts: Yes .well ..quite! Anything else for you to report Leon?
Leon Tasker: There is a kidnapping situation that I have been made aware of due to Eleven helping out at Galaxy City last week with what was a potential bomb threat. A number of heroes were on the scene and stopped the device that was present from detonating. It then transpired that who was responsible for the device had it hooked up somehow to a hostage by the name of Gemme Greys. There is also a report that a hero by the name of Time Skip is also assumed kidnapped but that has not been confirmed yet. I have passed on our contact details to Red Commissar so that we can respond to any calls for assistance, or if we happen to come across any information that may help with this case.
Dr Roberts: Very well, lets hope that the matter is dealt with quickly
Dr Roberts updates his paper notes, while Leon updates his PDA.
Dr Roberts: Any other business?
Leon Tasker turns to Eleven: What happened with that angel character who caused such a ruckus with everyone at Galaxy City late last Thursday?
Eleven still looks blankly ahead: Hes in The Zig!
Dr Roberts: Oh, what is this exactly?
Leon Tasker turns back to Dr Roberts: I was over at the usual meeting place of the hero community at Galaxy and someone that could only be described as an angel with black wings suddenly arrived and began attacking anyone that was around.
Dr Roberts: So what happened then?
Eleven: I came down to the place ..convinced him to take me on, one on one at the arena away from everyone else .and then I knocked him down!
Dr Roberts: So Longbow arrested him after you subdued him.
Eleven: Not right away ..when the gadgy came too after I knocked him out he could not remember who he was or what he had been doing .I spent the rest of the night doing what I could to get him help to remember .But when he went into the Freedom Corps building he remembered that he killed two Longbow agents and some of the medical staff there some time ago when he was receiving medical attention after being knocked around the place by what he thought might have been his brother.
Dr Roberts: So that is when Longbow arrested him?
Eleven: Yes ..although he resisted it ..so I had to knock him out again!
Dr Roberts raises his eyebrows: So a quick, abrupt ending to the situation. Which seems to normal for you!
Adam Dennison grinning as he looks at Eleven: Closing the ordeal with your usual, questionable philosophy my brother?.......(Cackling)Sorting everything out with the proper application of a striking fist!
Eleven: Damb right!
Dr Roberts: Yes, anyway, is there any other business?
Leon Tasker: There is nothing for us to bring up. In fact I think everyone will agree with me that right now we should return to being on standby for Vanguard Alerts as quickly as possible.
Dr Roberts: Quite right Brigadier. Try and continue any outstanding duties you have but otherwise the priority right now is for the team is to be alert of any Rikti attacks. This meeting is adjourned. Take care everyone.
The team begin to leave the room. Dr Roberts struggles to carry a pile of notes for an upcoming lecture. Adam and Do Lo keep their sprits up by walking down the corridor while attempting to sing the Nolan Sisters song Im in the mood for dancing. Leon looks on chuckling at their silliness but then looks concerned as he turns round to look at Eleven slowly walking out of the office blankly looking at the floor.
Leon Tasker: Whats on your mind?
Eleven stops next to Leon. He keeps looking at the floor with is usual scowling look and hesitates before he answers Leon.
Eleven: I cant help but feel I am somehow responsible for that angel fella being where he is now.
Leon Tasker: Well you were responsible. You took him down so he could be arrested for the crimes he committed.
Eleven suddenly looks Leon square in the eyes.
Eleven: I mean his memory loss ..I didnt hold back when taking him down He went down hard The whole thing seems like he is getting the raw deal for something he might have had no control over ..In my haste to bring him down and then try and piece together what he lost Ive ended up putting him where he is when he might not deserve it.
Leon Tasker: That will be for his defence to worry about when it comes to trail. Thats not something that ever got on your mind before.
Eleven: Fair enough ..just seems another case of me rushing in to stop a madman thinking I am helping everyone and not realising the consequences ..You know what happened last time I did that ..Almost seems like I have suddenly forgot that mistake.
Leon Tasker: Im sure this situation is completely different to that Eleven. The fact is, the guy broke the law. He would have hurt innocent people in the state he was in. You did what you always do and what needed to be done. You stopped him.
Eleven looks blankly ahead of him again: Yeah .ok marra.
Leon Tasker: Still, Im pleased to see youre trying to think matters like this over. Heaven forbid what would happen to you if you stopped thinking things over altogether. You probably would end up an uncontrollable monster.
Eleven: Yeah ..well you just keep me right then marra and point me to where I need to be.
Leons communicator receives a call. Vanguard sends out an alert that Rikti are heading for Steel Canyon.
Leon Tasker: I tell you where you where I need you now (Alarm in Steel Canyon starts to go off) .Go out onto the streets and protect the people.
Eleven gets a determined look in his eyes as he stretches and cracks his neck.
Eleven: Lets do this!
Eleven super speeds out of the University, ready to take the invading Rikti head on.
