Video: S.O.S FOR REAL HOLY MOTHER OF GOD SOMEONE HELP

[dr_riley]

[The first thing that gets posted to the Network is a slightly blurry and underexposed photograph of a woman in blue. Moments after that, there's a live feed of...well, it's hard to tell because of all the wild swinging movements, but there are unmistakably distressed sounds coming through: labored breathing interspersed with high pitched gasping and wheezing and the occasional ragged gulping of air]

I - I jus - Fou - She - HELP!

[Among all the blurred images of road, night sky, and buildings passing too quickly for the mirror to be anywhere but in the hands of someone running for everything they were worth, were flashes of a face crazed with terror, and glimpses of the woman in blue behind him. This only went on for perhaps six or seven seconds before the camera caught a long shot of the sky and then juttered to a perfectly still POV from street level, accompanied by the sound of a painful grunt and a view of Dr. Riley falling flat on the pavement nearby. He only stayed down half a second before pushing himself up, scrabbling for purchase and then taking off again, boots smacking the ground and leaving only a receding echo in the feed.]

DR RILEY?!

ARE YOU OK?

[There is no reply; only a still view of the street, lit by the moon, and the fading sound of his panicked footfalls.]

[faintly, with the Doppler effect of a voice passing very quickly by the phone]

[Scorpia doesn't waste time replying, instead charging off toward the area seen in the image.]
