He takes out his uzi, turns the safety off, and runs down the tunnel!
Taking Vic's lead, the thugs take out thier shotgun and 30 aut 6 and gets them ready. As they round a corner, they see them go up a flight of stairs. They would lead to the upper floor of the Atrium.
"Here we go..." Manny says after pumping the handhold of his shotgun.
Just then, they could hear rapid footfalls echoing from behind them. "Hey guys, wait up! It's Daniel, seems like something's wrong with him." The guard says, his revolver already drawn. "He shut the bulkheads back while I was in between them. The entrance to the service tunnel was my only way out."
"Yo man, welcome to the party." Grey says to the guard. "Things'ah just 'bout to get heated."

Lilly wants to make sure all her friends are safe, and it's scary with ningen closing in behind.
As the four ovies make it up a flight of stairs, Lilly couldn't recall anything about the service tunnels, just where doors to them were from outside the tunnel. Susie was just following signs that point out how to get to the garage. Once they reach the top of the staircase, there were three possible routes they could take, signs pointed the way: there was a door straight ahead leading into the upper floor of the Atrium. To the right, there was a hall that led straight to the garage. And to the left, another hall that led to the rec room/bar of the Atrium.
Susie stops and looks around.
"Uhh...yah, we split up. Lilly, Kyla, take door to big room, go to garage. Alice and I go right. We meet at garage okee.""'kay." Kyla nods. Alice nods too and takes Susie's hand. Susie reaches high on her tip-toes and swipes the card to open the door to the Atrium as they hear the footfalls of ningen going up the stairs!
"Go! Hurry!" Susie urged. She took Alice by the hand and led her down the hall on the right.

The transplant should have made the change like the girl he shot in the face with the hormone and created sister/daughter. Her regret at the cruel way she was treated by him brings a painful tear to his young face...u_u...hope forgive she thinks while trying to decide if his body is going to be ok, wishing his sister/daughter and sisters were out of the ningen hole
During each shift into his ovie form, Daniel would feel her palms sweat with ovie hormone. The rate of fluctuation starts to slow for Daniel. However, she begins to find her mind becoming a cross between that of an ovie's and a human's! As he waits for the other sisters to get to the door of the tunnel that leads to the garage (where s/he's at), she learns something else; that if she thinks human thoughts he becomes human, and if he thinks like an Ovie, she becomes one. Perhaps if she could control her thought processes, she'll be able to switch between her two forms at will!

By the time it was finished and her clothing had reformed, she was out of the restraints, rolling over the edge of the bed and gasped, suprised by how big the drop felt, yet she landed in a crouch on the floor, and then straightened, a horrified look on her face as she stared down at the child's body, "No!".
She was in a state of shock as Camille pinned the badge to her chest and then cried in suprise as she was tagged before her rival pinched at her cheek. The little girl snarled, clenching her small hands into tiny little fists, and she began punching at the red-haired woman's thighs, tears starting to stream down her red cheeks, "I hate you, Camille!", she yelled, distraught at having her womanhood taken away from her.
Briony starts to feel really lightheaded and nauseated. The anger she felt towards Camille was too much for her to bear. The attractive woman gently pushes the ovie backwards by the head. Since Briony has still yet to produce hormones, no changes occurred. "Let's not be hasty now," Camille says with a wry grin. "We've got some tests to run."
Her and the scientist escort Briony out of the operating room and down a hall. Passerby look at her with nervousness and disdain, keeping their distance from the Ovie. They knew Ovalisks that wore the badge wouldn't hurt a fly, but the trust issues towards these double-agents were still clearly present.

"Hmm...you're right." Ryan says, he digs into his bag and pulls out a pair of work gloves and a roll of duct tape. "Hold her down, Karen."
"You got it." She says before getting up from the couch. She grabs the Ovie by her underarms and lifts her up off the couch. Laura squirms and grunts as she struggles against Karen's grip.
"H-hey! What're ya doing!? DX" The hatchling cries.
"Let go me!"Karen does her best to keep the Ovalisk pinned down as Ryan comes to Karen's aid. The kids go upto Karen, Ryan and the Ovie and look on with shocked faces. "Stop being mean to mommy!" Connie says as she tugs on Karen's top.
"We're not being mean, Connie." Karen says reassuringly the children. "We're just being safe, that's all. If we don't do this, she might try to turn us."
Ryan forces the pair of work gloves onto her little hands and then duct tapes them to her wrists. He continues wrapping the gray tape around her arms until it's upto her elbows. "There we go." Ryan says after he finishes. Karen lets go of Laura.
The Ovie stands up and looks bewilderingly at her hands, trying to move her fingers inside the bulky work gloves.
"We should definitely explore this place." Karen says. "See what we can find. We'll start with this floor."
Ryan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a key-card. "I took the master key from the receptionist's desk while I was downstairs. It should open all the doors in this building."
Amy-chan wrote:Hiroko-chan steps out of the elevator after riding back down with Elder Toria. She follows Toria out to the square, and pauses to take a candle from one of the boxes of candles at the edge of the square.
She lights her candle after Toria lights hers. She follows a respectful distance behind Toria as the Elder takes her place. Hiroko then stands in a reverent silence while holding her lit candle, and waits for Elder Toria to conduct the memorial service.
It was dark outside, the setting sun just barely peeking over the horizon. From where the Elder stood, she could see the street was aglow with so many candles. It was a pretty sight. A microphone was set up on a stand in front of her with a camera on a tripod which took her image and put it up on the big screen for every Ovie in the Square to see. Slow, soothing
music plays in the background as Elder Toria speaks.
"Tonight, we commemorate those among us who didn't make it home." Toria begins.
"For those of you who are new, we hold this ceremony once every two weeks or so to remember our fallen. Death is never pleasant, but the destructive nature of the ningen makes it ever present." She sniffs, "Death makes us cry, we try not to get too caught up on death -- what matters is love, and love is forever. Yet, it's necessary to cry, and hope the one who died did so peacefully. When a soul passes, they return to an infinite plane called the Third Realm, or rather a plane of existence closer to the infinity. There, we meet the Aeternalae again and we show them how much we've grown.
"Why do we keep going on sanctioned Raids knowing full well some of us may be killed? Because no matter how bad it may feel to get hurt or killed, it can't compare to the sadness resulting of human action and thought. The ningen are depressed creatures who clash with those who are different from them, even before we came along. We Ovalisks were given a power to change things, to make the world a better place and fill it with love for everyone. It'd be mean to not at least try to use it. We're going to adopt all the ningen into our family, every one of them. And if they hurt and kill some of us while we're doing so... Well, that just means that we need to try even harder to reach them. Deep down, they're all really good people, they just need our help to remember that." She pauses, and adds,
"And now...a moment of silence..."After Toria's speech, the image of her fades off the big screen and is replaced with a visual as the music continues playing, though at a lower volume than before ((it's the same visual as seen in the youtube video if you click the link)). Toria gets off her proverbial soapbox and joins Hiroko at the front row.
