Tarantulas has a lot of experience with corpses, though he's unused to having them shoved at him. When Hotaru shoves Raymond's earthly remains at her, he's taken off-guard and pinned to the floor under the body.
Once he extricates himself, he proceeds to collect some of the blood that Raymond coughed up in a sample vial, label it, and store it in the refrigerator. He also fashions a makeshift toe-tag for Ray and stows him in the walk-in freezer they use for cold reactions. He's never dissected a vampire before.
Then he gathers up a taser that he's jury-rigged to shoot electrified metal netting rather than just electrified darts. It's not quite his old stasis web gun, but it'll have to do. It's unwieldy to carry it along with the spark extractor and a spark container, but he manages. Hotaru has plenty of time to get a head start.
Most lab buildings do not have dead ends, this is true. Most lab buildings are also not three stories below-ground with a security badge needed to open the stairwells and elevators. Except in case of a fire, obviously.

Hotaru has plenty of time to get a head start, but she was also making assumptions that are flat not true. As a result, she ends up, not on her way to a fire escape, but in a dead end. She spins around, turning to face Terrance, and then starts running again, attempting to barrel right over him.

Terrence levels his jury-rigged taser-net gun at Hotaru and fires. Hopefully that'll take her down. If not, he'll try to bodily block her progress. He's a skinny little thing, but he's been cyborging himself pretty extensively in his free time, so he might be stronger than he looks at this point.

The taser-net is, indeed, enough to take her down as it hits her and shocks her, causing her to cry out in pain. Of course, she had been running forward at a good speed when she fell, so it's likely she'll end up slamming right into Terrence, anyway.

Tarantulas steps to the side, attempting to move out of the way of Override's heedless charge. The hallway is narrow, though, so the edge of the electrified netting brushes his leg as she falls, sending a painful jolt up his body and causing him to spasm uncontrollably for a moment.
The pain passes quickly, however, leaving him with a helpless victim, just the way he likes. The net only has enough juice in it for a brief charge, so he prods Hotaru with a foot to make sure she's unconscious.

Hotaru is prodded. She doesn't appear to be conscious.

Tarantulas nods in a self-satisfied way before dragging his net full of racecarlady back to the lab and hefting her up onto the table where she was strapped down in the first place. It'd be more fun to extract her spark while she was conscious, but he's willing to make allowances for expediency in case anyone else walks in. (You never know.)
If the spark extractor is still working, Override's spark will soon be extracted from the elaborate piece of meat called Hotaru and placed in a the holding container with Pincher's.

The spark extractor is still working, Override's spark is extracted, and Hotaru's body is deceased.
Pincher's spark, it would seem, now has company.

Terrence taps a finger on a transparent portion of the spark containment unit, giggling to himself. Then he turns away to start recording data and otherwise bustling around the lab.
OOC: Skippable for the moment.

Raymond... is no more.
Pincher, however, is a spark in a jar. A normal spark in a jar cannot do much more than sit there and maybe freak out a little. In this case, though, he is right next to another spark in a jar.
He thinks very, very hard, If we could somehow reverse our polarity, we would be able to move out of this jar, I think. Oh. And hello. I am Pincher.
This was not supposed to happen. At least not under these general circumstances.

Override is disoriented, to put it lightly. She hadn't been fully aware of her true nature when she was ripped out of her body, and having no body at all doesn't exactly aid the memory process. Still, things are coming back to her...
(After all, it's getting a lot harder to deny that the sickly girl who had visited her earlier was onto something.)
I... erm... I... I know you, don't I? she asks uncertainly.

Maybe. I have been something of a recluse, Pincher admits honestly.
I spent most of my time holed up in the laboratories. In denial.
There is something wrong with my programming. And with me. I sincerely hope it is not contagious to you in this peculiar state.

Doesn't matter. We'll worry about it later, Override dismisses. The other one had introduced himself, earlier, hadn't he? It? By the way, I'm Hota- no. No. I'm Override.
Now, she continues, getting right back to business, you were saying something about reversing polarities?
It's always reversing the polarities, isn't it?

Oh.
Pincher is dimly aware of Override as 'one of those awesome people who is around whom I will never pay any attention to because I am a shut in who does boring things'.
...er, yes! Normally, when a spark is seated in a body, it is set up so as not to be mobile, for obvious reasons! Imagine if your spark could just fall out of your chest... or wherever you keep it, none of my business, really... anyway, it would be dreadful! Sparks rolling around the floor, flickering out from lack of energy...

The point, Pincher, Override interrupts, anxious for the finish line. Get to the point. What are you suggesting we do, and how do we do it?
