She didn’t feel any effects immediately by picking up the coin but her intuition was telling her that the coin might release its effects the longer she held it, even with the napkin.

GM

“Strange.” He said, looking at the coin. “Well, I don’t think we have a tricorder, how about I put that wrapped up in my pocket and see if there is any other treasure about?” he suggested, looking back to her.

Alita wrapped the coin up and handed it to him.

“If you really want. Be careful, I’m starting to feel a little strange again. And as for tricorder, I already took a reading. Everything was normal.” she said motioning to the tricorder on her belt and wondering if Cel had been affected much more than she had by handling the coin.

OOC: Sorry, couldn’t resist. Read back a few posts.

• Alita

OCC: How would this coin effect Squared, which no one knows about? Squared is a separate consciousnesses/lifeform inside Celador. I am wondering how it would effect both of them so I can judge reactions appropriately.

-Cel

OOC: The coin acts like if you took a shot of rum, and continued shots of rum while you physically touch it – directly or indirectly. So… if Squared is affected when Celador intakes alcohol directly, then Squared would be affected. Otherwise, if Squared can take over Celador’s body without directly being affected by alcohol, then it would be basically another consciousness taking over Celador’s body, but then would be exposed to the effects of the coin after the body is taken over by Squared.

IC:

The coin’s odd metaphysical properties began acting on the person who held it.

GM

OCC: ‘Squared’ Can take over Celador’s body. But they have an agreement where that won’t happen, except in extreme circumstances. Also, I never really gave it much thought as to what kind of drunk he would be.

IC: Cel felt it almost instantly after taking the coin from Alita. “We could have a lot of fun with this.” He said smiling as he put the coin, wrapped in the napkin in his pocket. He laughed. “We may have to take turns hold it.” He giggled a bit.

‘What is going on with you?’ Squared asked curiously. Squared couldn’t feel the effects without taking over the body and he wasn’t going to do that.

Any climbing with the coin would likely be dangerous unless the person holding it was dragged out. The only question was how. Lieutenant Andreas Mado, the Federation Security Attache assigned to ‘watchdog’ the USS Vanguard apparently had tracked the coin using his special tricorder. He noticed the climbing gear left behind, and wondered who he was going to encounter. He had a partner also on the USS Vanguard, but due to their discretionary roles, they were not currently together. They were in contact through an unknown means however.

Mado climbed down to find Cel and Alita. Upon reaching the bottom, he said, “Good afternoon! What a strange coincidence running into you both!”

GM

Alita had been just about to ask Cel what he meant by fun when Mado appeared.

“Coincidence sure… Just doing a little recreational climbing. And you?”

Alita didn’t know Mado well enough to have her guard immediately up but she also didn’t really believe in coincidence either.

• Alita

“Exploring the less known paths,” said Mado. He observed Cel, “Is… he alright?” asked Mado.

GM

Cel wasn’t paying to much attention, he was focusing on trying to get rid of the coin. He pulled it back out of his pocket and, hands trembling he set down the coin and napkin on the ground.

“It’s been a very long time since I felt anything like that.” He said, just noticing the newcomer. He frowned and narrowed his eyes at Mado. What was he doing here, he wondered. He had permission to be here, provided he stayed with Alita. The terms of his release from prison granted certain liberties and as long as he stayed with Alita, he wasn’t violating them. So what was the Federation Security Attache doing here?

-Cel

“Ah, I see you found something mysterious.” Mado pulled out a silver bag and a pair of purple gloves. He put the gloves on, picked up the napkin and dropped the coin into the bag. It made sparks, which Mado then sealed it.

“I suppose I owe you an explanation?” smiled Mado.

GM

Alita didn’t know Mado very well but he had just moved into the ‘I don’t think I like you.’ column.

“That would be the understatement of the day. So please, begin.” she said coolly.

• Alita

“I belong to a group within Federation security that deals with objects that have gained unusual metaphysical properties, and one of my jobs is to neutralize said objects and send them to storage,” said Mado. “That is basically all I can tell you, the exact details require… a higher clearance.”

GM

Celador looked at Mado with a look of disbelief. He was about to speak when he heard Alita start to talk.

“Really? Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but I don’t think I believe you. Now I’m guessing that my belief or disbelief doesn’t really make a difference and neither does anything you just told me. Because the simple fact is, you are attempting to steal something that my officer and I rightfully found. Do you really think that’s a good idea, clearance or no, imagined or real?” Alita asked.

Alita’s eyes sparked with fire. Her inner strength was showing more than it had in quite some time and the simple fact was this man didn’t know who he was messing with.

• Alita

As she spoke, Cel moved off to one side as best he could, trying to position himself to the side of Mado. He could feel Squared approval as he did so.
