Professor Nick Cutter

It was a couple of weeks later, the latest round of experiments had proved successful and they were now ready to try and bring home their missing friends. Phillip was getting the last of the equipment set up to start the rescue mission as he waited for the rest of the team to turn up so that they would be there to see the anomaly open. ( it was time to bring everyone home ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd NFB for distance but OOC welcome!]

It was the next morning, Cutter hadn't slept very well the previous night, he had been so nervous about going to the anomaly site and whether or not that it was there that he had ended up waking early and not being able to go back to sleep. He looked around the camp where he and Connor had found a spot to sleep for the night, Connor was still asleep and he didn't want to wake him so he was trying to sit as still as possible until it was early enough for everyone else to wake. ( they should have expected this ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd. NFB for distance but OOC welcome!]

Becker took a deep breath as he carried his supplies back into the cave, leaving Connor, Nick and Danny outside. As much as he didn't want to do this, this was Connor and Nick's decision and the sooner they helped Stephen, the sooner they could continue on their way to finding a new anomaly. "Stephen?" Becker said as he approached the blankets where Stephen was laying, "my name is Captain Becker, I'm here to help you," ( they didn't think they would have to deal with this ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd.

Everything had happened so fast with Helen and Christine and now Helen had captured Cutter and Connor and taken them god knows where. "We need to go after them," Danny said once they saw the black truck take off, "as long as Cutter has the artifact, we've got a tracker on them,” ( it was going to be a race against time ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd.

It had been another week, Cutter and Connor were progressing well with their out patient therapies and he thought after how busy it had been lately that he would have a small get together with everyone. His kids had been wanting another playdate with Rex and he thought it would be the perfect way to do that and have everyone at the ARC over, for security reasons Nate wasn't coming and Sarah was still not up for much social interaction so she and Becker weren't coming but Abby and Connor were coming over with the Rex's and Jenny had said she would stop by for a bit and check in since she was still on her leave. Danny had gone to pick up his kids so he was finishing up making snacks for the get together. Cutter and Connor were resting on the couch, "it will be good to see everyone again," Cutter smiled as he waited for everyone to turn up. ( Things were slowly returning to normal ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd. CW for mentions of medical injury and recovery. NFB for distance but OOC welcome!]

Another few days had passed and Cutter's nightmares had steadily been getting worse, the latest one seemed to involve Helen making a clone of him, which he couldn't remember anything about and it had left him really unsettled, he startled himself awake and it took him a few minutes to calm his breathing down to remember that he was at the hospital with Connor that Helen wasn't with them. ( Some days were better than others ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd. CW for medical trauma, recovery and emetophobia. NFB for distance but OOC welcome!].

It was a couple of days later and Cutter and Connor had been for their first physical therapy session, everything hurt. Cutter just wanted to get back in bed and not do this again. "Do we really have to do that again?" he asked as he and Connor were taken back to their room, even though he knew what the answer would be. ( it was going to take a while to adjust ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd Major CW for medical trauma and injury and recovery. NFB for distance but OOC welcome!]

Jenny had volunteered to get started with filling in the paperwork as Sarah, Cutter and Connor got prepped and taken in for surgery, she couldn't believe it had happened again. That her teammates were injured, she was supposed to make sure that no one got hurt and now no one knew if Cutter and Connor were going to make it out of surgery, how serious Sarah's head injury would be ... Her hand shook as she filled in the paperwork and tears rolled down her cheeks. ( It was time to deal with the aftermath ) [and now for the aftermath. Major CW for medical trauma and gunshot injury.

Sarah and Becker had been taken to a cell and shoved in, she was trying to not be scared but she was afraid of Becker being hurt again, "Becker are you alright?" she asked softly, she had seen the heavy blows he had taken from Wilder. ( Meanwhile the others were trying to deal with the situation as best they could ) [adapted in parts from Series 3 Episode 3 'Medical Mayhem'. Major CW for extreme violence and sexual assault.

After a very long flight back to London, Cutter, Becker and Connor eventually made it back to the ARC. "It feels so weird to be back here after being away," Cutter remarked as they began to get cleared through security. ( the trip had come to an end ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd.
