((Does Zechariah hear what the entities say since he's unconscious?))

"I also only question things that really matter, like shapeshifting lizard people, for instance. I've really abandoned any interest in the underlying workings of whatever we're doing, as it's only likely to bore and/or confuse me needlessly. Besides, I find the notion that the Soviet Union could ever dominate the world laughable. They were just so bad at governing things! That's why Germany won World War 2, for Pete's sake!"

((Wait. Germany beat the Soviet Union in his world? ...So many problems with that.
Short version: Oceania beats Luxembourg.))


"<Why are we doing this? Why does this matter?>"

[Fniff]

(I imagine the Germans have laser mega cannons or similar. Besides, it may be conspiracy theory-ing. The Nazis secretly rule the world!)

[Harry Baldman]

"I just can't ever tell what's bull and what's truth with you."

"What, that didn't happen in your world? I can't really imagine it going any other way, to be honest - I mean, come on, the Russians lost the first war, the second one was just insult to injury. The Soviets were pretty much screwed from the get-go there, though it did seem a little close at first."

[Fniff]

"Let's just say in my world, Soviets seemed promising but had a huge anticlimax. Though really a proper climax would have been a world-destroying nuclear war with America, so I guess an anticlimax is better."

((I so badly wanna join this conversation, but unfortunately Artemis is torturing Zechariah in his sleep at the moment.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

(I imagine the Germans have laser mega cannons or similar.)

((Judging by RL!WWII, that wouldn't have helped much because the LMCs wouldn't have sufficient group troops to support them or something like that. German wunderwaften* under the Third Reich were rather...impractical. Why would these be different?))

*Warning: Terrible German!

WE GOT AWAY!
HAVE A CELEBRATE

Fire party hats everywhere in celebration regardless of whether we've gotten away or not.

[Lenglon]

to teammates: <So... all your worlds have similar histories? This is all new to me, I've been relying on my host a lot.>
((Irine's world never got out of the stone age, but due to her special status she understands the mechanics of how things work ((physics, chemistry, biology, etc)) really, really well. especially herself... or at least how her abilities are supposed to work. She doesn't know what happened to her and why her control is so messed up. That's a large part of why it bothers her so much, for the first time she doesn't fully understand how her body works anymore.))

(I dunno. It's the multiverse. It might turn out that in his universe Nazi Germany is actually Soviet Russia but all the names are wrong.)

(Jordan said his piece already, though.)

[Parisbre56]

((Does Zechariah hear what the entities say since he's unconscious?))

((Unfortunately, no. All this talk amuses me greatly and one more participant would surely help. One of your teammates can fill you in if and when they fix you.))

"Ugh...what's going on?"
Continue healing.

You can now see a black blur instead of a white blur and you can faintly hear the entity speaking through the speaker of the elevator, making out the words with difficulty. Improvement!

John sighed.  What did Angel expect would happen?  He just shook his head and did what he did best...
Summon a first aid kit.  Distribute contents to those who need it.

You summon a first aid kit and set about working on helping Zach. After undressing him
"Bowchickabowwow!... Oh, wait, he's underage. Stranger danger!"
and examining him, you quickly spot the problem. Turns out that running with a bullet in your leg with only a hasty bandage to stop the bleeding is a bad idea. He's lost a lot of blood and unfortunately, you lack the materials for a transfusion. The best you can hope for with your current equipment is a tourniquet to stop further bleeding. Otherwise that guy is going to bleed out soon...

You somehow manage to fumble and throw the tourniquet off the side of the elevator and into the shaft below. Great.

"I tend not to question stuff I see on the job or I'd become 'Jordan, questioner of things' rather then 'Jordan, assassin'. Off the job, on the other hand..."

"All work and no play make Jordan a very dull boy."
"But a very efficient boy too."

"I also only question things that really matter, like shapeshifting lizard people, for instance. I've really abandoned any interest in the underlying workings of whatever we're doing, as it's only likely to bore and/or confuse me needlessly.

"Yeah, I know. I mean look at this facility. It's got important stuff in it, but they're moving most of the staff, guards and equipment out of here. What's the deal with that?"

"<Why are we doing this? Why does this matter?>"

"Your hosts are doing this because the Cause has decided to send them on this suicide mission and they obeyed. You are here because he decided you should help those guys for some reason. Probably has something to do with the fact that this is one of the universes he is trying to take over."
"Mind your tongue. They don't need to know about all that."
"I'm free to say whatever I want baby! And there ain't a thing you can do about that."

"What, that didn't happen in your world? I can't really imagine it going any other way, to be honest - I mean, come on, the Russians lost the first war, the second one was just insult to injury. The Soviets were pretty much screwed from the get-go there, though it did seem a little close at first."

"Wasn't that the one where the Nazis won with their army of undead creatures? The ones their occultists conjured?"
"No, no, you're mistaken. The world was overrun by zombies created by the Nazi's experiments and all hopes for salvation were left on the hands of four soldiers."
"No, that happened on Mars, not Earth and it was only one soldier."

WE GOT AWAY!
HAVE A CELEBRATE

Fire party hats everywhere in celebration regardless of whether we've gotten away or not.

You fire a couple of party hats around. Yay! Party hats!

You do realize you're wasting all that good luck you have accumulated right now by throwing party hats around, right?
Yes, I know it doesn't work like that.

(I dunno. It's the multiverse. It might turn out that in his universe Nazi Germany is actually Soviet Russia but all the names are wrong.)

((Now you've got the right idea. It's the multiverse. Anything can happen. Every distribution of matter and energy is possible, not to mention the laws of physics. You could take a trip to the candy dimension, where everything is candy or you could go to the smiley dimension where everyone is always smiling and everything has smiley faces drawn on it, even your blood cells.

Please don't make me take you there. I'd prefer to have more... reasonable settings. As much as magic can be reasonable. You can make a character from those places with no feeling of guilt though.))
"About two minutes left until we reach the next level."
