Who: Gary Bell & OPEN What: Arriving in Lawrence When: Saturday night [7-28-12] Where: In front of a factory (It's vagued up so Stark Industries, Queen Industries, or anything else that fits works!) Rating/Status: TBD/In progress or works as a standalone.
Gary had tried, he'd tried really hard to explain to Anna that Red Flag was wrong, that her friend Kosar had tried to kill Dr. Rosen and that if she would let him, Rosen would help her like he'd helped him, but she didn't really seem to understand. She said that Rosen wasn't like them and that she didn't need his help, that Gary didn't need his help and one day she hoped he would see that.
And then it happened. Videos, images, articles, status updates, blog feeds, text messages, tv broadcasts, radio signals, everything hit him all at once, coming at him from every direction. Anna had set a DoS attack on him and all he could register was pain, sharp, searing pain in his head and then he was on the floor, he couldn't take it any more. He couldn't understand. Anna was supposed to be his friend, why did she do this to him? Before he could think about it anymore, everything went black.
He awoke some time later, disoriented and confused. His head hurt, pounding and throbbing like he'd been hit over the head with something really hard. He rubbed his head before he sat up and took in his surroundings. He was definitely not at Anna's house any more. He was in the street somewhere. Nothing here was familiar. He frowned deeply and pushed himself to stand up. "Where is this place?" he mumbled to himself.
Pulling out his cell phone, he tried to call Nina, but it went to a disconnected number. "No, you're wrong." he shook his head at the phone. "That is Nina's number. I called her earlier and it was working, but it's not now. Why?" He tried Dr. Rosen next, but no better luck and the same thing happened when he tried Rachel, Hicks, Bill and his mother. "This is wrong. All wrong. Maybe Anna did this. Anna ruined my phone and now it won't make phone calls." That was the only thing that made sense at the moment and even that was a stretch.
Suddenly, Gary remembered he was lost and he glanced around at the buildings. There was a factory, but that didn't help much. He didn't even know what the factory was for. He flipped through a few signals and searched his location. "No, no, no, no, no...I'm not supposed to be in Kansas. This isn't where I live." Just as he was beginning to entertain the idea of asking someone where to go, he noticed a specific website coming up repeatedly in his view, multiple signals kept bringing it to the front of everything else. "Why are you so important, then?" He mumbled as he proceeded to investigate the site that was coming up so persistently in his feed.
