x-cyclops.livejournal.comAfter writing possibly the least coherent team report he's ever put in the database, Scott goes for a walk flees the mansion in the grip of a very severe case of after-action nerves. Catseye finds him, purrs at him, and then herds him inside to Jean, who holds onto him until he gets through it. Scott's left not actually hating himself for showing weakness. I think they call this progress.

Sangue Puro, part 2/2
Aug. 2nd, 2005 09:01 pmx-cyclops.livejournal.comInside the school, two of the young hostages are clinging to their courage when rescue appears, quite literally from above.
( Youth holds no society with grief. -Euripides )
After all the shooting is done, Kylun notices a suspicious pair in the crowd outside and gives chase.
( The fearful face usually betrays great guilt. -Seneca )
Scott and Haroun are catching their breath and taking stock of a job well done when Sam relays some rather alarming news from the mansion.
( You cannot tailor-make the situations in life, but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations. -Ziglar )
Meanwhile, as they fix the school's roof, Nathan and Lorna talk about the events of the evening, and the upcoming changes in her life. Then Nathan hears the news and tries to fly home. Seriously!
( We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden. -Goethe )
On the flight back, Haroun deals very well with a rather agitated Nathan.
( Teach us delight in simple things, and mirth that has no bitter springs. -Kipling )
Getting closer to their destination, Scott talks to Bobby, who's sitting the coms shift, and discovers that he's not in danger of murder-by-Scotswoman just yet.
( Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines. -Buddha )

Sangue Puro, part 1/2
Aug. 2nd, 2005 06:40 pmx-cyclops.livejournal.comPrior to lifting off for Rio, Sam lets Scott know that he would prefer a supporting role in today's potential drama.
( Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. -Gibran )
During the flight, Scott and Kylun discuss fanaticism, idealism, and pragmatism, and some of the combinations of the above.
( The worst vice of a fanatic is his sincerity. - Wilde )
On site, Scott meets the police captain in charge, and finds out that he's dealing with a pragmatic man - and a situation worse than he expected.
( The margin is narrow, but the responsibility is clear. -Kennedy )
Haroun and Scott look over the blueprints of the school and come up with a plan, to which Scott adds a last-minute and possibly inspired twist.
( Do what is right, though the world may perish. -Kant )
Meanwhile, Nathan and Lorna scout the building with the help of their powers. The parallels to another situation in the not-too-distant past are hard to ignore.
( Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose. -Disraeli )

Nathan and Moira, Tuesday afternoon
