Heart Game: Hurricane - Run 2

[At first, all is still; all is silent.]

[The only light is the light from your phone, where a checklist has taken over the screen. It reads:]

___ Make a change
___ Repair something
___ Protect something
___ Find the True Heart
___ Survive

[Then the light comes up, bright, and then brighter, and you are in…]

The harbingers, of course. Now, stay still for minute and I'll get you ready.

Get ready?? Er, alright.

[Tugs one of the wires down from the ceiling and circles around to stand beside Mori.]

Lean your head forward for me.

Hurricane's heart, of course.

[You feel fingers in the hair at the base of your skull, and then soft pressure and a click like cutlery on a metal pan.]

[In an instant, there's everything.]

[There's the city center and the routes through it and the danger level for expected incoming games. There's the vid feed over San Francisco, half standing, and the Tokyo-F dorms, and the rooftops, and everything beyond. There's current status and stability - damaged, but functional - and abilities (insufficient), and weapon specs.]

[There's the angle of the sun in winter, and the wind interference, and the systems diagnostics for the repairs on the room down the hall. There's audio being processed through the comms, and the programming for the interior temp controls (below recommended average), and a systems update running on twenty-three different systems simultaneously. There's 45 floating-point operations per second.]

[There's everything.]

[It's thrumming in the air and filling up your skin and clawing out the soft parts in your head to make room.]

[There's everything, and it just won't stop.]

[Right up until it does.]

[All at once, it flicks out like a light when the switch is flipped, and in its place there's just you, sitting in a metal chair again.]

[Gain +1 to all Wis rolls, permanently.]

Wait, right into his--

[Oh.

Oh this is a lot to see this is too much information.

Looks a little dazed and clings onto the chair to stop himself from just falling right off]

[Ssssslowly reaches a hand up to the back of his head]

Some warning... would have been nice...

What do we know about Harbingers?

They come in countless forms, but all of them are nasty, most of them have the powers of mental intrusion, and they are arriving in -

[Checks the countdown.]

- three hours and thirty-seven minutes, so you need to stop wasting time.

[Getting to his feet-- oh dizzy.

No it's fine. Takes a deep breath and forces himself upright]

I don't want to waste time, but if you know of any of their weaknesses before I get going, it'd be a big help.

Most of the things that will damage us also damage them. Bullets, blades, explosions. They're just more resilient than we are.

Good. He wouldn't expect anything less from you.

Save a few things while you're out there, too.

[I have so many questions but Intensity keeps hurrying us all out the door and time is ticking, so, nods and gets up to go find the answers himself]

Yes sir.
