Lost and Found

[unrecovered]

[Wash is in a lounge, having propped his omnicom on a piece of furniture so that the video shows him and the gun resting on his lap. That is definitely not his gun. Those quick on the uptake might also notice blood on his arm, like he's just been in a fight or something.]

Public service announcement: there's someone on the habitat deck in a skull mask running around and pointing guns at people's heads. He's kind of a dick, and evidently he can turn into a black cloud at will, like some kind of crossover between Ghostface and Imhotep.

[Has anyone seen either of those movies? No? Okay, moving on. He tilts the gun so it's more easily visible on camera, and yep, that is definitely one of Reaper's guns, and it is definitely not with Reaper.]

I didn't really appreciate him pointing this one at me, so I...called dibs on it. He can't have it back.

[It doesn't matter if you can't read expressions through armor; the self-satisfied smirk in Wash's tone is practically visible all on its own.]

He might still be up there, lying on the floor near the Egyptian temple. Unconscious. I may have stunned the hell out of him.

[Look at all zero of the regrets he has. Look at them.]

Also, I've decided our next movie night is going to be Scream, because when I call this guy a half-assed Ghostface ripoff, I really want you all to know what I'm talking about.

We go back. Secure this line.

locked to Soldier: 76

Rendezvous with us there.

The line is secure. Now tell me his capabilities.

[mylawn]

Covert ops agent, genetically augmented for combat. Enhanced strength/speed/stamina/etc. Can't speak to the nature of it, but he can de-materialize and re-form at will. Goes undetected when he's not solid. Don't think shooting at him does much, either.

[googledox]

Have you ever witnessed him teleporting out of some form of containment? An enclosed space?

[mylawn]

You're not going to hold him with conventional means.

[googledox]

Then I'll have to improvise an unconventional one. One of my sub-labs is on the way.

[mylawn]

What do you have in mind?

[googledox]

Chronal stasis field. I have devices that I use during disasters, modeled after Kid Quantum's powers, that are used to temporarily stabilize engine cores that are experiencing out-of-control reactor cascades. It'll only take me a few seconds to modify one to create a more localized field.

He may be able to teleport anywhere he pleases but he can't do that if time is effectively frozen around him.

[mylawn]

Worth a shot.
