Dr. Jones leads them to the room, then closes it behind them.
"You father fine, at least biologiocaly. His wetware, on the other hand, doesn't look to well. We ran a systems diagnostic on it and found a toad virus in the circuitry, most likly planted when he first arrived. We have him in life support at the moment, but a lot of the wetware had to be removed, including the one running his heart. He'll be in a induced coma. You can go vist him if you like."
Drake nods and goes with a nurse to vist his father. Dr. Jones then looks over at Asara.
"I was told that you were the last one with Commander Nightstar. Do you know of any other places he may have went? We figured out that the virus was using Nightstars heart as a broadcasting station and it may have been passed onto other computer systems."

Asara though for a second adn shook her head.
"No, i met him right in this building, in teh waiting room." She said calmly. "By wetware, do you mean his life support system? IS there anything that we can do to help him. I can make a run to get implants for him?" She offered.

"Yes, that is what I mean by Wetware. As for replacements to them, we have the supplies for most of whats needed except the heart, hence why he is in the coma for the moment. A new heart is rather difficult as his body is already used to the one he has now."
Jones hmms and haws a bit, then looks up again.
"There is one possibility. As far as I know, the one who did Commander Nightstars cybernetics is still alive, albeit in hiding from the toads at the moment. Last contact anyone had from him was on Warren, though that was a few months or so. Hes about the only one in the Aniverse I know of who can help us."
Meanwhile....
In the life support area, Drake looks up at his father, suspended and kept alive by the life support tube, with wires and tubes connected to him and the monitars giving thier little beep-bep sounds. Drake reaches out with a paw to touch the glass then turns away with some tears in his eyes.

"Warren is in bad shape, I am afriad." Asara said quirtly. "The toads have destroyed several buildings and cities. I was just there."
She thought for a second adn looked at teh doctor.
"Don't you have teh schematics of his heart? Weren't you able to scan the original? IF so, the Cyber medics of Atlantis could probably build an exact replica of it. Their skill in cybernetics is amazing. They combpletely rebuilt Commander Shar." She offered hopefully.

"We can only do a systems scan on it. Dr. Soan was always a little too protective of his cybernetic devices. That KOMPLEX created a virus powerful enough to get through Soan's firewalls... He must have been planning this for a long time."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the life support area, Drake turns to leave when suddunly all power turns off. Flipping on his mechanic light, he slowly makes his way to the door and presses the com.
"Yo' anyone hear this? Seems ta have been a blackout here. I'm kinda stuck in the life support room."
He waits and hears nothing at all.
"Frell... buildin' com musta been shorted out as well..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, in the waiting room, the lights and power go down. Dr. Jones touches his arm and a wrist light pops up, illuminating the room.
"Well... this is certainly a good turn of event. Judging by the sudden loss of power, KOMPLEX's virus seems to have deactivated most of the buildings systems. I hope nothing else ends up happening."

"The virus got loose? I thought you were containing it." Asara asked in deisbelief.
She got up and tried the door to open it.

"My dear lady, this is far from a normal computer virus. As I said eariler, this is a KOMPLEX virus, written by thier Artifical Leader. As such, it could have some of its own code inside. Who knows what could..."
Dr. Jones gets a grim look upon his face as the realization comes to him.
"By Frith... KOMPLEX meant for the Commander to escape! What better way to deliver a desvastating peice of malicous code then through your enemy!"
Just then, there is static and a black screen in many areas which immeditly get filled with the computer face of KOMPLEX.
"INFERIOR MAMMALS, YOU ARE NOW MY PRISONER. EACH AND ALL SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF KOMPLEX. THERE IS NO ESCAPE, SO MAKE YOU TIME."
There is evil robotic laughter then the communications goes completly dead.
He looks at Asara and starts backing up to get some good ramming speed.
"Miss Asara, I would suggest stepping back from the door. These doors and bolted and electronicaly locked during an emergency like this, but given enough force they should come down."

"I get the impression you are planning on ramming into teh door." She muttered as she stepped back and cleared teh doorway. "I also get the impression it will hurt, a lot."

Theres a bulging on the otherside of the door before the cybernetic cat breaks through. Using his light, he takes a few glances around the hall.
"Figures, everything is in lock down. Its going to take a while for us to get to master control and start everything back up, and it certainly won't be an easier to break through there then it was here."
Elsewhere....
Drake sits, passing the time. He looks up and notices something about the KOMPLEX message...
As the message continues playing, a small counter appears at the bottom of KOMPLEX, counting down the minutes. What the countdown is for is not known, though each moment it seems to get a little harder to breath, like the air is thinning out.

"Maybe i can get some help." Asara said an dpulled out her comm. "Tenchi Masa, this is Asara. COme in."
"Masa her, Captain. What's going on? Power is going down all over the frelling place!" Masa replied over the comm.
"Just get here now!" Asara demanded.
THe comm goes ded after a quick bleep. A few seconds later, Masa slides out of the shadows and bowed to Asara.
"HOw may i be of help Tenchi Asara?" She asked formally.
"Well, this Doctor says we are going to neeed a little bit of help to get to where we need to be, Oni Masa. So i figured your sills as a demolition expert would be of use getting through the doors." Asara replied and noticed Katar's helmet hanging on her hip. "Why are you carrying Katar's helmet?"
"LOng story, but it was for a good reason." Masa said smiling. "I just hope she doesn't need her suits hardwar during this. SHould I return it to her?"
THe helmet slid off of her hip on a tendril and intot he shadows vanishing. After a few minutes the tendril slid out, empty.
"THere, let's go!" Masa said as her helmet snapped into place and shut teh visor over her face.

A look of alarm passes over Dr. Jones face.
"No! If you set off any explosives in this building, they could damage the vials we have for medicinal studies, contaminating the area. There is an easy way, its just going to take a bit longer then normal to do so. When we get to the door, I'm going to try and hack myself into the mainframe. With luck, I might be able to kill this virus. I need for you two to check on the other people trapped here, see if they need medical attention."
Meanwhile, Drake gasps a bit and reaches for an emergency air supply kit next to the iso-tanks. He picks up his com and sets it to full broadcast.
"If anyones listenin, this is Drake Nightstar. I'm trapped in the Life Support Tank area and the air seems ta be depleten by the second. Again, if anyone can hear, I'm in the Life Support area and airs depletan pretty rapidly."

"I wasn't planning on using bombs or explosives of any type! My training also allows me to find weak points in structures to exploit." Masa said as her helmet snaps shut. "Like this!"
SUddenly several black tenrils shoot out adn stab into the sealed door. There is a loud grind and tearing of steel, adn the door is torn free, with minimal damage tot eh wall. The tendrils set teh door to teh side and Masa looks around. Asara snaps her helmet shut and looks at teh DOctor.
"If you hack in to the mainframe, what are teh ods of any possible cybernetics you have getting infected?" She asks worried.
Just tehn Drake's message comes over the itheir comms. Asara looked at Masa.
"GO!" Asara ordered. "I will go with the Doctor to aid him!"
Asara saluted adn darted down teh hall. Asara looked at teh Doctor.
"I know what you said, but i get teh feeling you are going to need extra hands! Lead on!" She said quickly.

"The chances of my getting infected is about 75/25, though I'm willing to take that risk. Its the only safe way, even if it means my own systems becoming a carrier."
He looks to the Atlantean.
"Under better circumstances, I'm sure I could do it alone. On the other hand, your help will be of use. Follow me then."
Dr. Jones heads down the hallway.
Meanwhile, as Masa passes by the Iso room, she hears a banging noise coming from the other side.

Masa stops and looks at teh door. Her visor glows a bright silver as she scans teh door, trying to locate who is bagging on the door. She quickly locates teh weak points of the door, but it takes longer than normal to see who is on the other side, dur to teh material of the door and the thickness.
