Lucas the Hotheaded Moron
Lucas wanted to press the matter. Right now, he wanted to join in on this manhunt. Those bastards needed to pay for what they did.
But... Remus was right, he needed to calm down. His frustration was clouding his judgement, and he knew where that would become. Nothing but unnecessary scars... he thought, tightening the blindfold as the injuries on his face ached.

"Yes, Lucas is my son," Hiram said to Oscar. "I was unaware of his team being sent here, though."
"As was I," Lucas said. "You had told Mom that you were on a mission for the Ambers."
"I had been," Hiram said. He had intended to explain, but Dex had ran over, saying that Pius needed help with Beth. "What is it?"
"She's in some real pain right now," Pius gritted out as he focused the healing light on her head. "And she's saying something about deletion while clawing at something below her ears."
The Nobel youth turned his head and saw that Dex had brought Lucas' father. Nice job, Dex. he thought sincerely.
"Mr. Krigsvart, what do you advise we do?"

"Y'all wanna start a fight, Rufus?" Ayers stepped forward, tapping the rest of his team on the shoulders as he passed them. "Because excuse me fer not appreciatin' that y'all dint help when we wuz gittin' mobbed by Xiong's goons!" He set the jugs of bleach on the counter. "So I don't really want no sass-backin!"

"Yes, let's," Raqib laughed, before Ayers's insult. "Hey, I'm all for ass-kicking but how about we make sure our dear friend Calypso hasn't flown too close to the sun, hmm? Honestly, I thought Faunus could handle their drink better..." The last part was muttered under his breath, so as not to offend Ruby. The Vacuan looked at the team leader, as he scratched some of his blond stubble. "So, if you were a drunk and violent hawk Faunus with a crazy stalker, where would you be?"

"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValIeria noddee her head as she looked at the strange devices. "Beth, I'm going to try and remove these now." She said to her new sister as she began to pull at the implants below her ears.
Oscar and Francesca had come over, a worried expression on the latter, while the former hid his fears beneath an impassive mask.
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM Sniper"Rip them out!" Pius yelled out, pouring every last speck of Spring mixture he had left to try to stabilize Beth's body.
"Now, now, NOW!" If no one reacted quickly and he ran out of healing Dust, the Nobel would try to rip the devices out himself with his gauntlets.

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%..."We need to stop those devices now!" Hiram practically yelled that — something that caught Lucas on guard. Last time Hiram yelled like that, it had been when he had found Lucas after the Beowolf attack.
Currently, the elder Krigsvart was looking to see if there were any wires connected to the device in hopes of severing them from Beth.

"Yeah, sorry y'all." Ayers assented. "Just gimme a second and I'll figger this out..." He tilted his hat down and thought... thought about everything he knew about Calypso, realized it was woefully sparse, and instead went entirely off what Raqib had just said: Faunus and Stalker. "Maybe she's goin' after the stalker y'all mentioned? You try sendin' a Scroll message to 'em to see if'n she's with them?"
At The Door
Rufus stood at the opened portal, "Indeed, my sentiments exactly. Calypso is the sort to cut straight to the heart of the matter. Saph-Blut is the aim of her lust and her ire, in a crazy unhealthy sort of way, and wherever he is, those two will be making a scene."
He walked on out, pulling out his Scroll, Okay, so how do I use this again? There's a- ah, and does- no. Confound you contraption! Dust is meant for killing, not for talking!

"Very well," Davros said. "I'll overlook this last outburst and give you a sizable gratuity nonetheless." He reached into one of his pockets, pulled out a small fish, no more than six inches long, and placed it on the counter. "Good day," he added, taking the bottle of cleaner with him as he went towards Ayers and Rufus.
"Gentlemen," he stated. "What are you up to now?"

"Oh hey, Davros. We was just gonna..." he pulled out his own Scroll and activated the Speech prompt. "Send a text message." He placed his thumb over the mic and passed it to Rufus. "Now, jus' speak the stalker's name real clear into the microphone, then say the message y'all was gonna send."

Ayers snatched the Scroll back. "Uh—uh—Howdy Barry! Y'all seen Calypso? She ran off from us, an' we wuz just wonderin' if'n y'all saw her. Thanks in advance!" He sent the message and shut the Scroll, then frowned at Rufus. "Uh, y'all mind explainin' whut Barry's doin' as this Stalker?"
"An exaggeration," Rufus drawled, lying as far as he was able to muster, "He has a crush on Calypso and he was a bit forward about it. And lacking anything beyond formal social skills.
"And having a disturbingly old school mentality to romance."
Meaning he was going to sugar coat it. Quite thickly but Rufus had a hard time really deviating from the truth, but he could make a liberal interpretation of it.

Raqib had good laugh at how much effort Rufus was putting in to make Barry not seem like an alright guy in this situation. "Didn't he try to blow your head off because he saw you talking to her, Rufus? Now I don't know what you Vale people are like but that's not old-school or new-school in Vacuo; that's expulsion worthy."
"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior Val

Rufus shook his hand and head at Ayers. Then he jerked his head toward the door, staring at Raqib, "C'mon, mother, we've got to go collect our babies."
Ruby chuckled, "You better go follow father, Mrs. Raqib."
