 Iskall:

 We all followed each other down the stairs in a line. Rik was mumbling things under his breath as Mumbo carried him. The tall hermit sighed as he repositioned Rik in his arms, " This is dreadful." he mumbled as we reached the safe, homey area to the base. 

 X led us down the hall to a small medical room. He explained that he had it after the many other incidents that happened on this server. No one really wanted to talk about those situations though. 

 Mumbo laid Rik down onto the bed. Rik tried to move as his whole body tensed up, " Auuuugh." he groaned as his eyes twitched. X turned the man on his side, " Just breathe Rik. I'm going to try and get rid of the..... virus?" he frowned as he looked up at Netty, " Can you help me with this Netty? I'm not much of a doctor." Netty nodded and got some medical supplies from some chests that X had pointed out.

 X had Mumbo and me sit down on the couch. I took off my boots and leaned back. Mumbo took his tie and black suit coat off with a sigh of his own. The hermit dropped his head into his hands. 

 I frowned as I put my hand on Mumbo's shoulder. The hermit made a defeated noise as he brought his legs up. I brought Mumbo closer to me as I hugged him, " It's okay Mums." I whispered as I put my hand through his hair. 

 Mumbo looked up at me, " It's not Iskall...." he whispered as he looked at me. I frowned deeper, " Iskall, Grian could be being tortured right now. The same thing can apply to the others in EVO, Stumpt, and Mighty as well.... We're just four people... Four people, and I mean, one of us is barely conscious right now." he motioned towards Rik.

 Sighing and moving away, I looked into his sad, grieving eyes. The whites of his eyes were stained by the popped blood vessels. Mumbo lowered his head as I pulled him back against me, " You need sleep Mumbo." I whispered as Mumbo shook his head.

 " I don't need sleep." Mumbo mumbled as he pulled away. The hermit narrowed his eyes as I looked at him. I shook my head, " Mumbo, you've been at this Grian search ever since he's been missing. You need sleep and your body knows it." I put my hands on his shoulders.

 Mumbo let out a sigh as he twitched. The hermit yawned as he swayed slightly, " I can't Iskall... can't fall.... can't fall asleep. I need to find him...." he whispered as his body twitched. Mumbo looked down at his hands as his body started to quiver. 

 " Mumbo, please, for my sake.... For Grian's sake... Go to sleep...." I told him as Mumbo started to lean back. The architech twitched as I lowered him down onto the couch. Mumbo struggled and tried to wave me away.

 " Not going... to fall asleep." Mumbo hissed as I shook my head. I looked up at X, " Oi, X.... Do you have those sleeping potions?" I questioned as X nodded and dug into his bag. The admin handed me the bottom as he turned back to us again.

 I uncorked the potion and put it against Mumbo's mouth. He struggled and wiggled until I forced him to lay down against the couch's arm, " Your body is breaking down Mumbo." I told him as he stared at me.

 Mumbo let out a defeated noise as I made him drink the potion. The hermit shuffled as I took the bottle away from him. He tiredly swallowed the liquid and looked at me, " Issssskall....." his eyes slowly closed as his whole body curled up and relaxed.

 I sighed and moved a pillow underneath his head and draped a blanket over him. Mumbo sighed as he snuggled against the pillow. I leaned back against the couch and watched as Mumbo started to snore softly. 

 " Is he asleep?" X questioned from the other side of the room. I nodded silently as I blinked. I crossed my arms over my chest and turned my head forward to look at X and the others. Netty was sitting in a bed with her tail in her arms. 

 X came over to the couch and sat down on a chair next to it. He ran his hand through his hair, " Rik is stable now, but that piece of ooze drained a lot out of him..." X shook his head. I brought my legs up and crossed him, " So, what do we do now exactly? We're all tired, and we haven't even done anything man." 

 I rubbed my eye; the water in it forced me to flinch. X looked up at me, " You okay?" he asked as I nodded, " I'm fine X. Just rubbed my eye wrong." I shook myself out. The hermit leaned back in his chair, " There's one thing we can do right now mate.... We need to track down Tango." 

 Track down Tango? One of the more elusive hermits? 

 He disappears for hours at a time, and no one, not even the others of Z.I.T can track him down. I mean, Ren, the actual blood hound and other dog breeds, can't even sniff him down. Doc can't scan his heat signature, and I can't even do that as well. 

 I let out a sigh.

 " How do you expect to even do that?" I questioned as my eye started to flicker. 

 X smirked slightly as he took a small block-like device. He looked at me and turned it on. The device buzzed to life as a green screen came on. It showed the entire map of Hermitcraft. I leaned forward slightly.

 This is exactly what we needed.
