Mystic awoke from his bunker, a coughing attack had overcome his lungs. Violent, swift and exhausting, he dropped to his knees trying to overcome it. After a small ordeal, he cleared his throat and coughed up blood, spraying it all over his quarter's floor. After gasping for air for a few seconds, he looked down at his reflection in the glistening blood. Reaching for his handkerchief, he wiped his mouth off, removing some trickles of blood from the sides of mouth. After very wearily standing up, and wobbling to the door, he slowly opened it. Gripping his chest with his arms from the immense pain he felt, he trotted through the quiet corridor. Arriving at the operator's stations, he noticed his operator, Hunter, there staring at the screens.
"H...Hunter?" Mystic said, weakly. Hunter turned around, and in one move, throw his headphones off and rushed over to his fallen captain.
"Mystic! You alright? What're you doing out of bed??" Hunter asked.
"It was too quiet...had to check on things." Mystic answered. He let a few internal coughs escape his mouth, covering his mouth with his handkerchief in the process.
"Things are fine, boss. You need to get back to sleep..." Hunter replied. He couldn't stand to see his captain this way. "We're gonna rendezvous with 01 in a few, but you need you're rest if you're gonna be fit to talk to the Agents." He slung Mystic's arm around his neck and helped him back to his quarters. He opened the door and noticed the splattered blood on the floor.
"S...Sorry." Mystic said, through a small coughing fit. Hunter shook his head at his captain.
"Don't worry about it, I'll clean it up. You lay back down over there." he reconciled, reaching for a few towels to place on the floor. Mystic sat down on the bed, and immediately had another coughing attack.
"I...can't stop coughing." Mystic managed to say in between the hacks. After a small ordeal, he managed to lay down again, still gripping his chest. "I'm in so much pain..." he said in a weak and frail voice.
Hunter finished his clean up duty, and wishes his captain a good sleep. He closed the door and sighed. He knew Mystic didn't have long to live, and even if he did survive this....he would be severely weakened.
"I hope....01 will have an answer." he walked back to the operator station and sat down at the console. He tapped a few keys and pull his mic boom to his mouth.
"01, please come in. Priority transmission from Hovercraft The Trust." he waited a moment, and soon the dial tone began. "01...someone, please pick up." Hunter began, explaining the ordeal to the person on the other end of the line...
