Slowly waking from his long sleep, Shroud's eyes opened to a sight he was completely unfamiliar with. It took a moment for him to remember what had happened. "Revnik!" Shooting from the bed, Shroud looked over to the only other person in the medical bay, and instantly thought better of lashing out at Lunar. If he were a prisoner, Shroud would have had some form of restraints on him. Cutting right to the chase, "Alright, who are you, and where am I?"

"I'm your doctor, now get...Back..." Lunar picked Shroud up with more strength than a woman should have in an arm and then roughly put him back in the bed. "In bed. I need to run more tests to make sure everything is fine. Oh and to answer your other question you are on the satellite Feachatur. Eastern Wind brought you here after you passed out. You can call me Lunar Mistress, or Lunar for short. Oh Speaking of which..." Lunar takes out her communicator and sends a quick textual based message to Eastern Wind. "Any other questions?"

A little more than surprised by the sudden lift, Shroud lays on the bed completely baffled for a moment before speaking again. "Yeah, just one. Who ever said I needed a doctor and decided to make that you? I'm perfectly fine now and can get back to Epityr City on my own, thank you very much." Rising from the bed again, he began to call upon his powers, a red energy field surrounding him. A blatant attempt to teleport out if there wasn't some kind of field that could block him.

As the energy field dissipated Shroud would find himself in the same spot. Lunar chuckled. "Sorry, hun, the only way on or off this bird is via transport ship. We have a multi-frequency teleportation firewall as well as magical ones to keep things from getting in unwanted. Unfortunately its a double edged sword so people can't teleport out of here either. Also I don't suggest wandering out of this room alone...we have active cameras in every hall and roaming drones that might be a pain in the ass to deal with but they are useful at times. I'd estimate about twenty minutes till the alarms would go off." She gave a quaint smile. "So if you don't need medical attention I'll finish the final scans and sign you off and we'll take you back to Epityr City when Eastern Wind gets here."

Suppressing a growl, Shroud continued to voice his dismay. "Or you could just lead me towards the transport bay and I can depart under my own power. More than one way for me to get back home." By all accounts, he should have been greatful to have been helped like this, but if not for whoever tried helping him, this situation never would have existed. "And I ask again, who made you my doctor, and why should I give a damn if you sign off on me or not?"

"The man who brought you here, and I'm the only one on the satellite qualified with a PhD in medicine to take care of you. Not to mention how lucky you are that I am also the best one in the Sraith for medicine on and off the field. I'm the Lunar Mistress, American Werewolf." She gave him a wink and started the final checklists. "Besides a little patience never hurt. Who knows you might see something you like here. We have a training room, a cafeteria, a lounge with hundreds of games and almost every system known to man, room and board, and the companionship and help of the entire Sraith, over two hundred superheroes from around the world call this place home. Trust me when I say...it's not good to be alone out there. Eastern Wind himself saved me from my savage side. If not for him I would have been hunted down and hot through with silver bullets by now. It's good to have friends who will be there for you."

"I don't have a savage side to worry about, and I'm not in any dire need of friends. If the one that saved me is any indication of how effective these friends of yours are, then they're more of a risk to me than anything else." Perhaps this was something said with a little too much haste, but it was all true. That energy used from Shroud's final attack on Revnik could have easily been used to escape instead of saving another who'd been in the wrong place at the wrong time. And besides, he wasn't ready for the idea of working on a team, even one so vast, again. "So if it's no problem, just finish your work and let me off."

"Granted, Eastern Wind does kid around way too much, but from the account he gave, you didn't actually have to chip in. He's extremely strong for not actually being a super human. He can stand toe to toe with a lot of the people here." She laid down the clip board and sighed. "But we aren't going to force you to join us, so follow me, I'll take you to Epityr myself so you won't have to deal with the guy that brought you here out of concern."

Grunting as he followed behind Lunar, "Just open the door for me. I won't need a transport to go down." Fortunately, that wasn't at all a lie. He couldn't create a vehicle to travel in, but he could call on a power or two that would get him down to Earth, or atleast out of range of the field blocking his teleportation ability.

Lunar nods and takes him to the docking bay. "The door is open as long as you can breathe in a vacuum The force field only keeps the atmosphere in so we don't die. Take care..."

As the bay doors opened, Shroud began running full speed at it, a space suit and jetpack forming over the black cloak. Leaving the deck plating, the pack fired at maximum thrust to the minimal distance from the field locking his transport ability out. Once free, he was gone in the blink of an eye, red field the only indicator of his disappearance.

Blue Bullet ran the streets of Epityr City with vigor as he patrolled the alleyways of the metropolis. He was asked to watch over it while the man in the shroud was healing. "God damn that Eastern Wind...this is such a drag. If he didn't have that task to do in Tokyo I'd crown him one for this."

Making an audible sigh from a great distance, Shroud had his rangefinder fade away. "Great. One of these guys enter my city, and now I've got the rest of them deciding to drop in." This wasn't something he ever wanted. Another super besides him running around Epityr. It was more an issue of pride than anything else. Perhaps this was an insult to him in his mind, saying he couldn't handle his home on his own. "Oh well. He stays out of my way, and he won't have an issue."

As he ran he got a shiver down his spine. "Oooo...I just got the heebee jeebees. I wonder what it's from." He sped around the city with vigil looking out for trouble.
